This reverts commit 973b710b8821c3401ad7a25360c89e94b26884ac.

As I mentioned in the review [1], I do not believe this was the correct
fix.

Commit 41a00051283e ("kheaders: prevent `find` from seeing perl temp
files") addressed the root cause of the issue. I asked David to test
it but received no response.

Commit 973b710b8821 ("kheaders: Ignore silly-rename files") merely
worked around the issue by excluding such files, rather than preventing
their creation.

I have reverted the latter commit, hoping the issue has already been
resolved by the former. If the silly-rename files come back, I will
restore this change (or preferably, investigate the root cause).

<title>kheaders: prevent `find` from seeing perl temp files</title>

<id>41a00051283e301f7e0009626ddf591542e30161</id>
<content type='text'>
Symptom:

The command

    find ... | xargs ... perl -i

occasionally triggers error messages like the following, with the build
still succeeding:

    Can't open &lt;redacted&gt;/kernel/.tmp_dir/include/dt-bindings/clock/XXNX4nW9: No such file or directory.

Analysis:

With strace, the root cause has been identified to be `perl -i` creating
temporary files inside ${tmpdir}, which causes `find` to see the
temporary files and emit the names. `find` is likely implemented with
readdir. POSIX `readdir` says:

    If a file is removed from or added to the directory after the most
    recent call to opendir() or rewinddir(), whether a subsequent call
    to readdir() returns an entry for that file is unspecified.

So if the libc that `find` links against choose to return that entry
in readdir(), a possible sequence of events is the following:

1. find emits foo.h
2. xargs executes `perl -i foo.h`
3. perl (pid=100) creates temporary file `XXXXXXXX`
4. find sees file `XXXXXXXX` and emit it
5. PID 100 exits, cleaning up the temporary file `XXXXXXXX`
6. xargs executes `perl -i XXXXXXXX`
7. perl (pid=200) tries to read the file, but it doesn't exist any more.

... triggering the error message.

One can reproduce the bug with the following command (assuming PWD
contains the list of headers in kheaders.tar.xz)

    for i in $(seq 100); do
        find -type f -print0 |
            xargs -0 -P8 -n1 perl -pi -e 'BEGIN {undef $/;}; s/\/\*((?!SPDX).)*?\*\///smg;';
    done

With a `find` linking against musl libc, the error message is emitted
6/100 times.

The fix:

This change stores the results of `find` before feeding them into xargs.
find and xargs will no longer be able to see temporary files that perl
creates after this change.

<title>kheaders: use 'tar' instead of 'cpio' for copying files</title>

<id>82a1978d0fdc28e561bc4d98ea155dd322f33c19</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'cpio' command is used solely for copying header files to the
temporary directory. However, there is no strong reason to use 'cpio'
for this purpose. For example, scripts/package/install-extmod-build
uses the 'tar' command to copy files.

This commit replaces the use of 'cpio' with 'tar' because 'tar' is
already used in this script to generate kheaders_data.tar.xz anyway.

Performance-wide, there is no significant difference between 'cpio'
and 'tar'.

[Before]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | cpio --quiet -pd kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.148s
  user    0m0.021s
  sys     0m0.140s

[After]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | tar -c -f - -T - | tar -xf - -C kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.098s
  user    0m0.024s
  sys     0m0.131s

Revert commit 69ef0920bdd3 ("Docs: Add cpio requirement to changes.rst")
because 'cpio' is not used anywhere else during the kernel build.
Please note that the built-in initramfs is created by the in-tree tool,
usr/gen_init_cpio, so it does not rely on the external 'cpio' command
at all.

Remove 'cpio' from the package build dependencies as well.

CONFIG_IKHEADERS has a reproducibility issue because the contents of
kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz can vary depending on how you build the
kernel.

If you build the kernel with CONFIG_IKHEADERS enabled from a pristine
state, the tarball does not include include/generated/utsversion.h.

  $ make -s mrproper
  $ make -s defconfig
  $ scripts/config -e CONFIG_IKHEADERS
  $ make -s
  $ tar Jtf kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz | grep utsversion

However, if you build the kernel with CONFIG_IKHEADERS disabled first
and then enable it later, the tarball does include
include/generated/utsversion.h.

  $ make -s mrproper
  $ make -s defconfig
  $ make -s
  $ scripts/config -e CONFIG_IKHEADERS
  $ make -s
  $ tar Jtf kernel/kheaders_data.tar.xz | grep utsversion
  ./include/generated/utsversion.h

It is not predictable whether a stale include/generated/utsversion.h
remains when kheaders_data.tar.xz is generated.

For better reproducibility, include/generated/utsversions.h should
always be omitted. It is not necessary for the kheaders anyway.

<title>kheaders: Ignore silly-rename files</title>

<id>973b710b8821c3401ad7a25360c89e94b26884ac</id>
<content type='text'>
Tell tar to ignore silly-rename files (".__afs*" and ".nfs*") when building
the header archive.  These occur when a file that is open is unlinked
locally, but hasn't yet been closed.  Such files are visible to the user
via the getdents() syscall and so programs may want to do things with them.

During the kernel build, such files may be made during the processing of
header files and the cleanup may get deferred by fput() which may result in
tar seeing these files when it reads the directory, but they may have
disappeared by the time it tries to open them, causing tar to fail with an
error.  Further, we don't want to include them in the tarball if they still
exist.

With CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y, something like the following may be seen:

   find: './kernel/.tmp_cpio_dir/include/dt-bindings/reset/.__afs2080': No such file or directory
   tar: ./include/linux/greybus/.__afs3C95: File removed before we read it

The find warning doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Fix this by telling tar when called from in gen_kheaders.sh to exclude such
files.  This only affects afs and nfs; cifs uses the Windows Hidden
attribute to prevent the file from being seen.

error.  Further, we don't want to include them in the tarball if they still
exist.

With CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y, something like the following may be seen:

   find: './kernel/.tmp_cpio_dir/include/dt-bindings/reset/.__afs2080': No such file or directory
   tar: ./include/linux/greybus/.__afs3C95: File removed before we read it

The find warning doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Fix this by telling tar when called from in gen_kheaders.sh to exclude such
files.  This only affects afs and nfs; cifs uses the Windows Hidden
attribute to prevent the file from being seen.

<title>kheaders: use `command -v` to test for existence of `cpio`</title>

Commit 13e1df09284d ("kheaders: explicitly validate existence of cpio
command") added an explicit check for `cpio` using `type`.

However, `type` in `dash` (which is used in some popular distributions
and base images as the shell script runner) prints the missing message
to standard output, and thus no error is printed:

    $ bash -c 'type missing &gt;/dev/null'
    bash: line 1: type: missing: not found
    $ dash -c 'type missing &gt;/dev/null'
    $

For instance, this issue may be seen by loongarch builders, given its
defconfig enables CONFIG_IKHEADERS since commit 9cc1df421f00 ("LoongArch:
Update Loongson-3 default config file").

Therefore, use `command -v` instead to have consistent behavior, and
take the chance to provide a more explicit error.

Fixes: 13e1df09284d ("kheaders: explicitly validate existence of cpio command")

<title>kheaders: explicitly define file modes for archived headers</title>

Build environments might be running with different umask settings
resulting in indeterministic file modes for the files contained in
kheaders.tar.xz. The file itself is served with 444, i.e. world
readable. Archive the files explicitly with 744,a+X to improve
reproducibility across build environments.

--mode=0444 is not suitable as directories need to be executable. Also,
444 makes it hard to delete all the readonly files after extraction.
