Each version of Rust supports a range of LLVM versions. There are cases where
we want to gate a config on the LLVM version instead of the Rust version.
Normalized cfi integer tags are one example [1].

The invocation of rustc-version is being moved from init/Kconfig to
scripts/Kconfig.include for consistency with cc-version.

<id>e72a076c620f692b405dd6c39e8a7c98c8a59ecc</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a few different compiler errors that cause rustc-option to give
wrong results.

If KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS or the flags being tested contain any -Z flags, then
the error below is generated. The RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP environment variable
is added to fix this error.

	error: the option `Z` is only accepted on the nightly compiler
	help: consider switching to a nightly toolchain: `rustup default nightly`
	note: selecting a toolchain with `+toolchain` arguments require a rustup proxy;
	      see &lt;https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/index.html&gt;
	note: for more information about Rust's stability policy, see
	      &lt;https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html#unstable-features&gt;
	error: 1 nightly option were parsed

Note that RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP is also defined in the top-level Makefile,
but Make-exported variables are unfortunately *not* inherited. That said,
this is changing as of commit 98da874c4303 ("[SV 10593] Export variables
to $(shell ...) commands"), which is part of Make 4.4.

The probe may also fail with the error message below. To fix it,
the /dev/null argument is replaced with a file containing the crate
attribute #![no_core]. The #![no_core] attribute ensures that rustc does
not look for the standard library. It's not possible to instead supply
a standard library (i.e. `core`) to rustc, as we need `rustc-option`
before the Rust standard library is compiled.

	error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`
	  |
	  = note: the `aarch64-unknown-none` target may not be installed
	  = help: consider downloading the target with `rustup target add aarch64-unknown-none`
	  = help: consider building the standard library from source with `cargo build -Zbuild-std`

The -o and --out-dir parameters are altered to fix this warning:

	warning: ignoring --out-dir flag due to -o flag

The --sysroot flag is provided as we would otherwise require it to be
present in KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS. The --emit=obj flag is used to write the
resulting object file to /dev/null instead of writing it to a file
in $(TMPOUT).

I verified that the Kconfig version of rustc-option doesn't have the
same issues.

cc-option-yn and cc-disable-warning duplicate the compile command seen
a few lines above. These can be defined based on cc-option.

I also refactored rustc-option-yn in the same way, although there are
currently no users of it.

The blank line causes execve() to fail:

  # strace ./postinst
  execve("./postinst", ...) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
  strace: exec: Exec format error
  +++ exited with 1 +++

However running the scripts via shell does work (at least with bash)
because the shell attempts to execute the file as a shell script when
execve() fails.

Since commit 95573cac25c6 ("kconfig: cache expression values"), xconfig
emits a lot of false-positive "unmet direct dependencies" warnings.

While conf_read() clears val_is_valid flags, 'make xconfig' calculates
symbol values even before the conf_read() call. This is another issue
that should be addressed separately, but it has revealed that the
val_is_valid field is not initialized.

<id>4d46b5b623e0adee1153b1d80689211e5094ae44</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit f79dc03fe68c ("kconfig: refactor choice value calculation"),
Kconfig for ARCH=powerpc may result in an infinite loop. This occurs
because there are two entries for POWERPC64_CPU in a choice block.

If the same symbol appears twice in a choice block, the -&gt;choice_link
node is added twice to -&gt;choice_members, resulting a corrupted linked
list.

A simple test case is:

    choice
            prompt "choice"

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B 1"

    config B
            bool "B 2"

    endchoice

Running 'make defconfig' results in an infinite loop.

One solution is to replace the current two entries:

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic (POWER5 and PowerPC 970 and above)"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64 &amp;&amp; !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic (POWER8 and above)"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64 &amp;&amp; CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU
            select PPC_HAS_LBARX_LHARX

with the following single entry:

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic 64 bit powerpc"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64
            select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU
            select PPC_HAS_LBARX_LHARX if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN

In my opinion, the latter looks cleaner, but PowerPC maintainers may
prefer to display different prompts depending on CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN.

For now, this commit fixes the issue in Kconfig, restoring the original
behavior. I will reconsider whether such a use case is worth supporting.

with the following single entry:

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic 64 bit powerpc"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64
            select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU
            select PPC_HAS_LBARX_LHARX if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN

In my opinion, the latter looks cleaner, but PowerPC maintainers may
prefer to display different prompts depending on CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN.

For now, this commit fixes the issue in Kconfig, restoring the original
behavior. I will reconsider whether such a use case is worth supporting.

Commit aab94339cd85 ("of: Add support for linking device tree blobs
into vmlinux") introduced a mechanism to embed DTBs into vmlinux.

Initially, it was used for wrapping boot DTBs in arch/*/boot/dts/, but
it is now reused for more generic purposes, such as testing.

Built-in DTBs are discarded because KERNEL_DTB() is part of INIT_DATA,
as defined in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

This has not been an issue so far because OF unittests are triggered
during boot, as defined by late_initcall(of_unittest).

However, the recent clk KUnit test additions have caused problems
because KUnit can execute test suites after boot.

For example:

  # echo &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/kunit/clk_register_clk_parent_data_device/run

This command triggers a stack trace because built-in DTBs have already
been freed.

While it is possible to move such test suites from kunit_test_suites to
kunit_test_init_section_suites, it would be preferable to avoid usage
limitations.

This commit moves non-boot built-in DTBs to the .rodata section. Since
these generic DTBs are looked up by name, they do not need to be placed
in the special .dtb.init.rodata section.

Boot DTBs should remain in .dtb.init.rodata because the arch boot code
generally does not know the DT name, thus it uses the __dtb_start symbol
to locate it.

This separation also ensures that the __dtb_start symbol references the
boot DTB. Currently, the .dtb.init.rodata is a mixture of both boot and
non-boot DTBs. The __dtb_start symbol must be followed by the boot DTB,
but we currently rely on the link order (i.e., the order in Makefiles),
which is very fragile.

The implementation is kind of cheesy; the section is .dtb.init.rodata
when $(obj) starts with arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts, and .rodata section
otherwise. This will be refactored later.
