In commit 43d8ce9d65 ("Provide in-kernel headers to make
extending kernel easier") a new mechanism was introduced, for kernels
>=5.2, which embeds the kernel headers in the kernel image or a module
and exposes them in procfs for use by userland tools.
The archive containing the header files has nondeterminism caused by
header files metadata. This patch normalizes the metadata and utilizes
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP if provided and otherwise falls back to the
default behaviour.
In commit f7b101d330 ("kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs") it was
modified to use sysfs and the script for generation of the archive was
renamed to what is being patched.

Capitalize the first word in the sentence.
Use obj-m instead of obj-y. obj-y still works, but we have no built-in
objects in external module builds. So, obj-m is better IMHO.

Commit 40df759e2b ("kbuild: Fix build with binutils <= 2.19")
introduced ar-option and KBUILD_ARFLAGS to deal with old binutils.
According to Documentation/process/changes.rst, the current minimal
supported version of binutils is 2.21 so you can assume the 'D' option
is always supported. Not only GNU ar but also llvm-ar supports it.
With the 'D' option hard-coded, there is no more user of ar-option
or KBUILD_ARFLAGS.

Summary of modules changes for the 5.4 merge window:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.
Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing kernel
developers to better manage the export surface, allow subsystem
maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some exported symbols
should only be limited to certain users (think: inter-module or
inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as well as more easily
limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts of the
kernel. With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot
the misuse of exported symbols during patch review. Two new macros are
introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is
thoroughly documented in Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.
- Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there.

Merge tag 'modules-for-v5.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeyu/linux
Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
"The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
"clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.
Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.

Add support for symbols that are exported into namespaces. For that,
extract any namespace suffix from the symbol name. In addition, emit a
warning whenever a module refers to an exported symbol without
explicitly importing the namespace that it is defined in. This patch
consistently adds the namespace suffix to symbol names exported into
Module.symvers.
Example warning emitted by modpost in case of the above violation:
WARNING: module ums-usbat uses symbol usb_stor_resume from namespace
USB_STORAGE, but does not import it.

KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS started as a switch to add extra warning
options for GCC, but now it is a historical misnomer since we use it
also for Clang, DTC, and even kernel-doc.
Rename it to more sensible, shorter KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN.
For the backward compatibility, KBUILD_ENABLE_EXTRA_GCC_CHECKS is still
supported (but not advertised in the documentation).

The assembler files in the kernel are *.S instead of *.s, so they must
be preprocessed. Since 'as' of GNU binutils is not able to preprocess,
we always use $(CC) as an assembler driver.
$(AS) is almost unused in Kbuild. As of v5.2, there is just one place
that directly invokes $(AS).
$ git grep -e '$(AS)' -e '${AS}' -e '$AS' -e '$(AS:' -e '${AS:' -- :^Documentation

The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation
body.
While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide,
I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the
:orphan: and adding the SPDX header.
For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains
a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on
separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific
docs that were not split yet.
For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it
seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main
dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch
could do the move.

In old days, Kbuild always used an absolute path for $(srctree).
Since commit 890676c65d ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in
the source tree"), $(srctree) is '.' when O= was not passed from the
command line.
Yet, using absolute paths is useful in some cases even without O=, for
instance, to create a cscope file with absolute path tags.
'O=.' was known to work as a workaround to force Kbuild to use absolute
paths even when you are building in the source tree.
Since commit 25b146c5b8 ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any
directory"), Kbuild is too clever to be tricked. Even if you pass 'O=.'
Kbuild notices you are building in the source tree, then use '.' for
$(srctree).
So, 'make O=. cscope' is no help to create absolute path tags.
We cannot force one or the other according to commit e93bc1a0ca
("Revert "kbuild: specify absolute paths for cscope""). Both of
relative path and absolute path have pros and cons.
This commit adds a new flag KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE to allow users to
choose the absolute path for $(srctree).
'make KBUILD_ABS_SRCTREE=1 cscope' will work as a replacement of
'make O=. cscope'.

In my view, most of headers can be self-contained. So, it would be
tedious to add every header to header-test-y explicitly. We usually
end up with "all headers with some exceptions".
There are two types in exceptions:
[1] headers that are never compiled as standalone units
For examples, include/linux/compiler-gcc.h is not intended for
direct inclusion. We should always exclude such ones.
[2] headers that are conditionally compiled as standalone units
Some headers can be compiled only for particular architectures.
For example, include/linux/arm-cci.h can be compiled only for
arm/arm64 because it requires <asm/arm-cci.h> to exist.
Clang can compile include/soc/nps/mtm.h only for arc because
it contains an arch-specific register in inline assembler.
So, you can write Makefile like this:
header-test- += linux/compiler-gcc.h
header-test-$(CONFIG_ARM) += linux/arm-cci.h
header-test-$(CONFIG_ARM64) += linux/arm-cci.h
header-test-$(CONFIG_ARC) += soc/nps/mtm.h
The new syntax header-test-pattern-y will be useful to specify
"the rest".
The typical usage is like this:
header-test-pattern-y += */*.h
This will add all the headers in sub-directories to the test coverage,
excluding $(header-test-). In this regards, header-test-pattern-y
behaves like a weaker variant of header-test-y.
Caveat:
The patterns in header-test-pattern-y are prefixed with $(srctree)/$(src)/
but not $(objtree)/$(obj)/. Stale generated headers are often left over
when you traverse the git history without cleaning. Wildcard patterns for
$(objtree) may match to stale headers, which could fail to compile.
One pitfall is $(srctree)/$(src)/ and $(objtree)/$(obj)/ point to the
same directory for in-tree building. So, header-test-pattern-y should
be used with care since it can potentially match to stale headers.
Caveat2:
You could use wildcard for header-test-. For example,
header-test- += asm-generic/%
... will exclude headers in asm-generic directory. Unfortunately, the
wildcard character is '%' instead of '*' here because this is evaluated
by $(filter-out ...) whereas header-test-pattern-y is evaluated by
$(wildcard ...). This is a kludge, but seems useful in some places...

header-test-y does not work with headers in sub-directories.
For example, you may want to write a Makefile, like this:
include/linux/Kbuild:
header-test-y += mtd/nand.h
This entry will create a wrapper include/linux/mtd/nand.hdrtest.c
with the following content:
#include "mtd/nand.h"
To make this work, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux to the
header search path. It would be tedious to add ccflags-y.
Instead, we could change the *.hdrtest.c rule to wrap:
#include "nand.h"
This works for in-tree build since #include "..." searches in the
relative path from the header with this directive. For O=... build,
we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux/mtd to the header search path,
which will be even more tedious.
After all, I thought it would be handier to compile headers directly
without creating wrappers.
I added a new build rule to compile %.h into %.h.s
The target is %.h.s instead of %.h.o because it is slightly faster.
Also, as for GCC, an empty assembly is smaller than an empty object.
I wrote the build rule:
$(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c /dev/null -include $<
instead of:
$(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c $<
Both work fine with GCC, but the latter is bad for Clang.
This comes down to the difference in the -Wunused-function policy.
GCC does not warn about unused 'static inline' functions at all.
Clang does not warn about the ones in included headers, but does
about the ones in the source. So, we should handle headers as
headers, not as source files.
In fact, this has been hidden since commit abb2ea7dfd ("compiler,
clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"), but we
should not rely on that.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers
remain self-contained, i.e. that they are compilable as standalone
units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on.
Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add
headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will
generate a dummy C file per header that gets built as part of extra-y.

headers_install_all does not make much sense any more because different
architectures export different set of uapi/linux/ headers. As you see
in include/uapi/linux/Kbuild, the installation of a.out.h, kvm.h, and
kvm_para.h is arch-dependent. So, headers_install_all repeats the
installation/removal of them.
If somebody really thinks it is useful to do headers_install for all
architectures, it would be possible by small shell-scripting, but
the top Makefile does not have to provide entry targets just for that
purpose.

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.
Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

If you want to see if your linker supports a certain flag, then ask the
linker directly with ld-option (not the compiler with cc-ldoption).

Problem:
When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.
Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:
1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.
2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.
Proposal:
The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.
It can be easily read in the userspace:

There is no more direct user of this macro; it is only used by
cc-ifversion.
Calling this macro is not efficient since it invokes the compiler to
get the compiler version. CONFIG_GCC_VERSION is already calculated in
the Kconfig stage, so Makefile can reuse it.
Here is a note about the slight difference between cc-version and
CONFIG_GCC_VERSION:
When using Clang, cc-version is evaluated to '0402' because Clang
defines __GNUC__ and __GNUC__MINOR__, and looks like GCC 4.2 in the
version point of view. On the other hand, CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=0
when $(CC) is clang.
There are currently two users of cc-ifversion:
arch/mips/loongson64/Platform
arch/powerpc/Makefile
They are not affected by this change.
The format of cc-version is <major><minor>, while CONFIG_GCC_VERSION
<major><minor><patch>. I adjusted cc-ifversion for the difference of
the number of digits.

Commit 06300b21f4 ("kbuild: support building individual files for
external modules") introduced the '/' target. It works only for
external modules to build all .o files, but skip the modpost stage.
However, 'make /' looks a bit weird to me. 'make ./' is more sensible
if you want to build all objects under the current directory, and it
works as expected.
Let's change '/' into a phony target that is an alias of './', but
I may feel like deprecating it in the future.

Some time ago, Sam pointed out a certain degree of overwrap between
generic-y and mandatory-y. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/10/121)
I tweaked the meaning of mandatory-y a little bit; now it defines the
minimum set of ASM headers that all architectures must have.
If arch does not have specific implementation of a mandatory header,
Kbuild will let it fallback to the asm-generic one by automatically
generating a wrapper. This will allow to drop lots of redundant
generic-y defines.
Previously, "mandatory" was used in the context of UAPI, but I guess
this can be extended to kernel space ASM headers.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)

Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)
Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

Currently, Kconfig does not complain about the recursive dependency
where 'imply' keywords are involved.
[Test Code]
config A
bool "a"
config B
bool "b"
imply A
depends on A
In the code above, Kconfig cannot calculate the symbol values correctly
due to the circular dependency. For example, allyesconfig followed by
syncconfig results in an odd behavior because CONFIG_B becomes visible
in syncconfig.
$ make allyesconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --allyesconfig Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ cat .config
#
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Main menu
#
CONFIG_A=y
$ make syncconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* Main menu
*
a (A) [Y/n/?] y
b (B) [N/y/?] (NEW)
To detect this correctly, sym_check_expr_deps() should recurse to
not only sym->rev_dep.expr but also sym->implied.expr .
At this moment, sym_check_print_recursive() cannot distinguish
'select' and 'imply' since it does not know the precise context
where the recursive dependency has been hit. This will be solved
by the next commit.
In fact, even the document and the unit-test are confused. Using
'imply' does not solve recursive dependency since 'imply' addresses
the unmet direct dependency, which 'select' could cause.

Users of if_changed could easily feel invited to use it to divide a
recipe into parts like:
a: prereq FORCE
$(call if_changed,do_a)
$(call if_changed,do_b)
But this is problematic, because if_changed should not be used more
than once per target: in the above example, if_changed stores the
command-line of the given command in .a.cmd and when a is up-to-date
with respect to prereq, the file .a.cmd contains the command-line for
the last command executed, i.e. do_b.
When the recipe is then executed again, without any change of
prerequisites, the command-line check for do_a will fail, do_a will be
executed and stored in .a.cmd. The next check, however, will still see
the old content (the file isn't re-read) and if_changed will skip
do_b, because the command-line test will not recognize a change. On
the next execution of the recipe the roles will flip: do_a is OK but
do_b not and it will be executed. And so on...

Removed Kbuild documentation for INSTALL_FW_PATH.
The kbuild symbol INSTALL_FW_PATH was removed from Kbuild tools in
September 2017 (for 4.14) but the symbol was not deleted from
the kbuild documentation, so do that now.
Fixes: 5620a0d1aa ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware")

The supported alias for building sparc 32-bit is "sparc32",
not "sparc", so update the alias documentation for that.
Just using "sparc" produces a 64-bit config file.
