The stack initialization selftests were checking scalars, strings,
and structs, but not unions. Add union tests (which are mostly identical
setup to structs). This catches the recent union initialization behavioral
changes seen in GCC 15. Before GCC 15, this new test passes:

    ok 18 test_small_start_old_zero

With GCC 15, it fails:

    not ok 18 test_small_start_old_zero

Specifically, a union with a larger member where a smaller member is
initialized with the older "= { 0 }" syntax:

union test_small_start {
     char one:1;
     char two;
     short three;
     unsigned long four;
     struct big_struct {
             unsigned long array[8];
     } big;
};

This is a regression in compiler behavior that Linux has depended on.
GCC does not seem likely to fix it, instead suggesting that affected
projects start using -fzero-init-padding-bits=unions:

<title>lib/crc: simplify the kconfig options for CRC implementations</title>

<id>b0430f39de089920e3aab3f4a9c35c35110bdbea</id>
<content type='text'>
Make the following simplifications to the kconfig options for choosing
CRC implementations for CRC32 and CRC_T10DIF:

1. Make the option to disable the arch-optimized code be visible only
   when CONFIG_EXPERT=y.
2. Make a single option control the inclusion of the arch-optimized code
   for all enabled CRC variants.
3. Make CRC32_SARWATE (a.k.a. slice-by-1 or byte-by-byte) be the only
   generic CRC32 implementation.

The result is there is now just one option, CRC_OPTIMIZATIONS, which is
default y and can be disabled only when CONFIG_EXPERT=y.

Rationale:

1. Enabling the arch-optimized code is nearly always the right choice.
   However, people trying to build the tiniest kernel possible would
   find some use in disabling it.  Anything we add to CRC32 is de facto
   unconditional, given that CRC32 gets selected by something in nearly
   all kernels.  And unfortunately enabling the arch CRC code does not
   eliminate the need to build the generic CRC code into the kernel too,
   due to CPU feature dependencies.  The size of the arch CRC code will
   also increase slightly over time as more CRC variants get added and
   more implementations targeting different instruction set extensions
   get added.  Thus, it seems worthwhile to still provide an option to
   disable it, but it should be considered an expert-level tweak.

2. Considering the use case described in (1), there doesn't seem to be
   sufficient value in making the arch-optimized CRC code be
   independently configurable for different CRC variants.  Note also
   that multiple variants were already grouped together, e.g.
   CONFIG_CRC32 actually enables three different variants of CRC32.

3. The bit-by-bit implementation is uselessly slow, whereas slice-by-n
   for n=4 and n=8 use tables that are inconveniently large: 4096 bytes
   and 8192 bytes respectively, compared to 1024 bytes for n=1.  Higher
   n gives higher instruction-level parallelism, so higher n easily wins
   on traditional microbenchmarks on most CPUs.  However, the larger
   tables, which are accessed randomly, can be harmful in real-world
   situations where the dcache may be cold or useful data may need be
   evicted from the dcache.  Meanwhile, today most architectures have
   much faster CRC32 implementations using dedicated CRC32 instructions
   or carryless multiplication instructions anyway, which make the
   generic code obsolete in most cases especially on long messages.

   Another reason for going with n=1 is that this is already what is
   used by all the other CRC variants in the kernel.  CRC32 was unique
   in having support for larger tables.  But as per the above this can
   be considered an outdated optimization.

   The standardization on slice-by-1 a.k.a. CRC32_SARWATE makes much of
   the code in lib/crc32.c unused.  A later patch will clean that up.

   independently configurable for different CRC variants.  Note also
   that multiple variants were already grouped together, e.g.
   CONFIG_CRC32 actually enables three different variants of CRC32.

3. The bit-by-bit implementation is uselessly slow, whereas slice-by-n
   for n=4 and n=8 use tables that are inconveniently large: 4096 bytes
   and 8192 bytes respectively, compared to 1024 bytes for n=1.  Higher
   n gives higher instruction-level parallelism, so higher n easily wins
   on traditional microbenchmarks on most CPUs.  However, the larger
   tables, which are accessed randomly, can be harmful in real-world
   situations where the dcache may be cold or useful data may need be
   evicted from the dcache.  Meanwhile, today most architectures have
   much faster CRC32 implementations using dedicated CRC32 instructions
   or carryless multiplication instructions anyway, which make the
   generic code obsolete in most cases especially on long messages.

   Another reason for going with n=1 is that this is already what is
   used by all the other CRC variants in the kernel.  CRC32 was unique
   in having support for larger tables.  But as per the above this can
   be considered an outdated optimization.

   The standardization on slice-by-1 a.k.a. CRC32_SARWATE makes much of
   the code in lib/crc32.c unused.  A later patch will clean that up.

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

* tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (95 commits)
  rust: device: Use as_char_ptr() to avoid explicit cast
  rust: device: Replace CString with CStr in property_present()
  devcoredump: Constify 'struct bin_attribute'
