It is finally becoming increasingly rare to find a distribution that
still ships with gnupg-1.x, so remove the last vestiges of "gpg" vs
"gpg2" from documentation.
Similarly, starting with GnuPG 2.2 and above, the default --gen-key
operation creates ed25519/cv25519 keypairs, so update all example
command outputs to use that combination instead of rsa2048.
Lastly, add a few wording tweaks and remove links that lead to stale
information (e.g. hardware tokens overview from 2017).

The netdev-FAQ document has grown over the years to the point
where finding information in it is somewhat challenging.
The length of the questions prevents readers from locating
content that's relevant at a glance.
Convert to a more standard documentation format with sections
and sub-sections rather than questions and answers.
The content edits are limited to what's necessary to change
the format, and very minor clarifications.

Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.
We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.
Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released some months
before GCC 5.1.
With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.

arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
arch/powerpc/Makefile

The existing table was a bit outdated.
3.16 was EOL in 2020.
4.4 was EOL in 2022.
5.10 is new in 2020.
5.15 is new in 2021.
We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022.
Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from
multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to
be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

Some of us gotten used to producing large quantities of peer feedback
at work, every 3 or 6 months. Extending the same courtesy to community
members seems like a logical step. It may be hard for some folks to
get validation of how important their work is internally, especially
at smaller companies which don't employ many kernel experts.
The concept of "peer feedback" may be a hyperscaler / silicon valley
thing so YMMV. Hopefully we can build more context as we go.

SIGINT etc. in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
to another program.
- Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.
- Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.
- List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.
- Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in kallsyms.
- Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
back-and-forth.
- Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.
- Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing particular
sections in the head of vmlinux.
- Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.
- Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
to another program.

- List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.
- Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
kallsyms.
- Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
back-and-forth.
- Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.
- Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
particular sections in the head of vmlinux.
- Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds.
rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2
make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2
The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private'
keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82.
GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is
disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make
version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81.
GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

Merge tag 'hardening-v6.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
various hardening features (details noted below).
The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
years (e.g. BleedingTooth).
This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.
The commit message in commit 54d9469bc5 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.

- Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
- Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build

Linus notes [1] that the introduction of new code that uses VM_BUG_ON()
is just as bad as BUG_ON(), because it will crash the kernel on
distributions that enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (like Fedora):
VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
because these are less important". [2]
This resulted in a more generic discussion about usage of BUG() and
friends. While there might be corner cases that still deserve a BUG_ON(),
most BUG_ON() cases should simply use WARN_ON_ONCE() and implement a
recovery path if reasonable:
The only possible case where BUG_ON can validly be used is "I have
some fundamental data corruption and cannot possibly return an
error". [2]
As a very good approximation is the general rule:
"absolutely no new BUG_ON() calls _ever_" [2]
... not even if something really shouldn't ever happen and is merely for
documenting that an invariant always has to hold. However, there are sill
exceptions where BUG_ON() may be used:
If you have a "this is major internal corruption, there's no way we can
continue", then BUG_ON() is appropriate. [3]
There is only one good BUG_ON():
Now, that said, there is one very valid sub-form of BUG_ON():
BUILD_BUG_ON() is absolutely 100% fine. [2]
While WARN will also crash the machine with panic_on_warn set, that's
exactly to be expected:
So we have two very different cases: the "virtual machine with good
logging where a dead machine is fine" - use 'panic_on_warn'. And
the actual real hardware with real drivers, running real loads by
users. [4]
The basic idea is that warnings will similarly get reported by users
and be found during testing. However, in contrast to a BUG(), there is a
way to actually influence the expected behavior (e.g., panic_on_warn)
and to eventually keep the machine alive to extract some debug info.
Ingo notes that not all WARN_ON_ONCE cases need recovery. If we don't ever
expect this code to trigger in any case, recovery code is not really
helpful.
I'd prefer to keep all these warnings 'simple' - i.e. no attempted
recovery & control flow, unless we ever expect these to trigger.
[5]
There have been different rules floating around that were never properly
documented. Let's try to clarify.

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

The entire file blames back to the start of git
(minus whitespace from the RST translation and a typo fix):
* there are changelog comments for March 1994 through to Linux 2.5.74
* struct tty_ldisc is two pointers nowadays, so naturally no magic
* GDA_MAGIC is defined but unused, and it's been this way
since start-of-git
* M3_CARD_MAGIC isn't defined, because
commit d56b9b9c46 ("[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS
drivers") removed the entire driver in 2006
* CS_CARD_MAGIC likewise since
commit b5d425c97f ("more scheduled OSS driver removal") in 2007
* KMALLOC_MAGIC and VMALLOC_MAGIC were removed in
commit e38e0cfa48 ("[ALSA] Remove kmalloc wrappers"),
six months after start of git
* SLAB_C_MAGIC has never even appeared in git
(removed in 2.4.0-test3pre6)

misleading cruft at worst, so start with cleaning out ones that only
appear therein

One of the "legitimate" uses of strncpy() is copying a NUL-terminated
string into a fixed-size non-NUL-terminated character array. To avoid
the weaknesses and ambiguity of intent when using strncpy(), provide
replacement functions that explicitly distinguish between trailing
padding and not, and require the destination buffer size be discoverable
by the compiler.
For example:
struct obj {
int foo;
char small[4] __nonstring;
char big[8] __nonstring;
int bar;
};
struct obj p;
/* This will truncate to 4 chars with no trailing NUL */
strncpy(p.small, "hello", sizeof(p.small));
/* p.small contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l' */
/* This will NUL pad to 8 chars. */
strncpy(p.big, "hello", sizeof(p.big));
/* p.big contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0', '\0', '\0' */
When the "__nonstring" attributes are missing, the intent of the
programmer becomes ambiguous for whether the lack of a trailing NUL
in the p.small copy is a bug. Additionally, it's not clear whether
the trailing padding in the p.big copy is _needed_. Both cases
become unambiguous with:
strtomem(p.small, "hello");
strtomem_pad(p.big, "hello", 0);
See also https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90
Expand the memcpy KUnit tests to include these functions.

GnuPG does not use the word "master key" when referring to the subkey
marked with the "certification" capability. Our use of this term was not
only inconsistent, but also misleading, because in real life "master
keys" are able to open multiple locks made for different keys, while PGP
Certify key has no such capability.

As diffstat shows, we've had lots of developments in a wide range
at this time; the majority of changes are about ASoC, including
subsystem-wide cleanups, continued SOF / Intel updates and a
bunch of new drivers (as usual), while there have been some
significant (but almost invisible) improvements in ALSA core
side, too. Below are some highlights:
Core:
- Faster lookups of control elements with Xarray; normal user
won't notice, but on the devices with tons of control elements,
it can be visibly faster
- Support for input validation for controls; this will harden
for badly written drivers in general with a slight overhead
- Deferred async signal handling for working around the potential
deadlocks
- Cleanup / refactoring raw MIDI locking code
ASoC:
- Restructing of the set_fmt() callbacks for making things clearer
in situations like CODEC to CODEC links
- Clean up and modernizing the DAI naming scheme setups
- Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some
board integrations
- New version 4 mechanism for communication with SOF DSPs
- Suppoort for dynamically selecting the PLL to use at runtime on
i.MX platforms
- Improvements for CODEC to CODEC support in the generic cards
- Support for AMD Jadeite and various machines, AMD RPL, Intel
MetorLake DSPs, Mediatek MT8186 DSPs and MT6366, nVidia Tegra
MDDRC, OPE and PEQ, NXP TFA9890, Qualcomm SDM845, WCD9335 and
WAS883x, and Texas Instruments TAS2780

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"This was a moderately busy cycle for documentation, but nothing
all that earth-shaking:
- More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian
translations.
The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations
are more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.
- Some build-system performance improvements.
- The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document,
with the movement of what useful material that remained into
other docs.
- Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more
useful suggestions.
- A number of build-warning fixes
Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more"

This is a big release thus far and there will probably be more changes

- Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some board

Commit 31b24bee33 ("docs: add a warning to submitting-drivers.rst")
in October 2016 already warns "This (...) should maybe just be deleted,
but I'm not quite ready to do that yet".
Maybe, six years ago, we were not ready but let us remove old content
for the better now and structure and maintain less content in the kernel
documentation with a better result.
Drop this already outdated document and adjust all textual references.
Here is an argument why deleting the content will not remove any useful
information to the existing kernel documentation, individually broken down
for each section.
Section "Allocating Device Numbers" refers to https://www.lanana.org/, and
then refers to Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst.
However, the devices.rst clearly states:
"The version of this document at lanana.org is no longer maintained."
Everything needed for submitting drivers is already stated in devices.rst
and the reference to https://www.lanana.org/ is outdated, and should be
just deleted.
Section "Who To Submit Drivers To" is all about Linux 2.0 - 2.6, before
the new release version scheme; the mentioned developers are still around,
but actually not the first developers to contact anymore.
Section "What Criteria Determine Acceptance" has a few bullet points:
Licensing and Copyright is well-covered in process/kernel-license.rst.
Interfaces, Code, Portability, Clarity state some obvious things about
ensuring kernel code quality.
Control suggests to add a MAINTAINERS entry, which is already mentioned in
6.Followthrough.rst: "... added yourself to the MAINTAINERS file..."
PM support states a bit about implementing and testing power management of
a driver, it remains an open question where to place that in the process
documents. Driver developers interested in power management will find the
corresponding part on power management in the kernel documentation anyway.
In section "What Criteria Do Not Determine Acceptance", the points Vendor
and Author states something basic consequence of the kernel being an
open-source community software development. Probably no need to mention it
nowadays.
Section "Resources" lists resources that are also mentioned elsewhere more
central.

Bash 4.4, released in 2016, supports 'wait $!' to check the exit status
of a process substitution, but it seems too new.
Some people using older bash versions (on CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, etc.)
reported an error like this:
./scripts/check-local-export: line 54: wait: pid 17328 is not a child of this shell
I used the process substitution to avoid a pipeline, which executes each
command in a subshell. If the while-loop is executed in the subshell
context, variable changes within are lost after the subshell terminates.
Fortunately, Bash 4.2, released in 2011, supports the 'lastpipe' option,
which makes the last element of a pipeline run in the current shell process.
Switch to the pipeline with 'lastpipe' solution, and also set 'pipefail'
to catch errors from ${NM}.
Add the bash requirement to Documentation/process/changes.rst.

Not much here, primarily it was a bunch of cleanups and small updates:
- kobj_type cleanups for default_groups
- documentation updates
- firmware loader minor changes
- component common helper added and take advantage of it in many
drivers (the largest part of this pull request).
There will be a merge conflict in drivers/power/supply/ab8500_chargalg.c
with your tree, the merge conflict should be easy (take all the
changes).
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
problems.

Linus pointed out the benefits of C99 some years ago, especially variable
declarations in loops [1]. At that time, we were not ready for the
migration due to old compilers.
Recently, Jakob Koschel reported a bug in list_for_each_entry(), which
leaks the invalid pointer out of the loop [2]. In the discussion, we
agreed that the time had come. Now that GCC 5.1 is the minimum compiler
version, there is nothing to prevent us from going to -std=gnu99, or even
straight to -std=gnu11.
Discussions for a better list iterator implementation are ongoing, but
this patch set must land first.

- Convert overflow selftest to KUnit
- Convert stackinit selftest to KUnit
- Implement size_t saturating arithmetic helpers

In recent times, the review cycle for stable releases have been changed.
In particular, there is release candidate phase between ACKing patches
and new stable release. Also, in case of failed submissions (fail to
apply to stable tree), manual backport (Option 3) have to be submitted
instead.
Update the release cycle documentation on stable-kernel-rules.rst to
reflect the above.
