gcc-15 enabling -Wunterminated-string-initialization in -Wextra by
default was done with the best intentions, but the warning is still
quite broken.
What annoys me about the warning is that this is a very traditional AND
CORRECT way to initialize fixed byte arrays in C:
unsigned char hex[16] = "0123456789abcdef";
and we use this all over the kernel. And the warning is fine, but gcc
developers apparently never made a reasonable way to disable it. As is
(sadly) tradition with these things.
Yes, there's "__attribute__((nonstring))", and we have a macro to make
that absolutely disgusting syntax more palatable (ie the kernel syntax
for that monstrosity is just "__nonstring").
But that attribute is misdesigned. What you'd typically want to do is
tell the compiler that you are using a type that isn't a string but a
byte array, but that doesn't work at all:
warning: ‘nonstring’ attribute does not apply to types [-Wattributes]
and because of this fundamental mis-design, you then have to mark each
instance of that pattern.
This is particularly noticeable in our ACPI code, because ACPI has this
notion of a 4-byte "type name" that gets used all over, and is exactly
this kind of byte array.
This is a sad oversight, because the warning is useful, but really would
be so much better if gcc had also given a sane way to indicate that we
really just want a byte array type at a type level, not the broken "each
and every array definition" level.
So now instead of creating a nice "ACPI name" type using something like
typedef char acpi_name_t[4] __nonstring;
we have to do things like
char name[ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __nonstring;
in every place that uses this concept and then happens to have the
typical initializers.
This is annoying me mainly because I think the warning _is_ a good
warning, which is why I'm not just turning it off in disgust. But it is
hampered by this bad implementation detail.
[ And obviously I'm doing this now because system upgrades for me are
something that happen in the middle of the release cycle: don't do it
before or during travel, or just before or during the busy merge
window period. ]

rust: helpers: Add dma_alloc_attrs() and dma_free_attrs()
rust: helpers: Remove volatile qualifier from io helpers
rust: kbuild: use `pound` to support GNU Make < 4.3
objtool/rust: add one more `noreturn` Rust function for Rust 1.86.0

scripts: generate_rust_analyzer: Add ffi crate
Starting with Rust 1.86.0, Clippy's `needless_continue` lint complains
about the last statement of a loop [1], including cases like:
while ... {
match ... {
... if ... => {
...
return ...;
}
_ => continue,
}
}
as well as nested `match`es in a loop.
One solution is changing `continue` for `()` [2], but arguably using
`continue` shows the intent better when it is alone in an arm like that.
Moreover, I am not sure we want to force people to try to find other
ways to write the code either, in cases when that applies.
In addition, the help text does not really apply in the new cases the
lint has introduced, e.g. here one cannot simply "drop" the expression:
warning: this `continue` expression is redundant
--> rust/macros/helpers.rs:85:18
|
85 | _ => continue,
| ^^^^^^^^
|
= help: consider dropping the `continue` expression
= help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_continue
= note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::needless-continue`
The examples in the documentation do not show a case like this, either,
so the second "help" line does not help.
In addition, locally disabling the lint is not possible with `expect`,
since the behavior differs across versions. Using `allow` would be
possible, but, even then, an extra line just for this is a bit too much,
especially if there are other ways to satisfy the lint.
Finally, the lint is still in the "pedantic" category and disabled by
default by Clippy.
Thus disable the lint, at least for the time being.
Feedback was submitted to upstream Clippy, in case this can be improved
or perhaps the lint split into several [3].

A recent optimization change in LLVM [1] aims to transform certain loop
idioms into calls to strlen() or wcslen(). This change transforms the
first while loop in UniStrcat() into a call to wcslen(), breaking the
build when UniStrcat() gets inlined into alloc_path_with_tree_prefix():
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: wcslen
>>> referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
>>> vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)
>>> referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
>>> vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)
Disable this optimization with '-fno-builtin-wcslen', which prevents the
compiler from assuming that wcslen() is available in the kernel's C
library.
[ More to the point - it's not that we couldn't implement wcslen(), it's
that this isn't an optimization at all in the context of the kernel.
Replacing a simple inlined loop with a function call to the same loop
is just stupid and pointless if you don't have long strings and fancy
libraries with vectorization support etc.
For the regular 'strlen()' cases, we want the compiler to do this in
order to handle the trivial case of constant strings. And we do have
optimized versions of 'strlen()' on some architectures. But for
wcslen? Just no. - Linus ]

-fmacro-prefix-map only affects __FILE__ and __BASE_FILE__.
Other references, for example in debug information, are not affected.
This makes handling of file references in the compiler outputs harder to

Switch to -ffile-prefix map which affects all references.
Also drop the documentation section advising manual specification of
-fdebug-prefix-map for reproducible builds, as it is not necessary
anymore.

The imperative paradigm used to build vmlinux, extract some info from it
or perform some checks on it, and subsequently modify it again goes
against the declarative paradigm that is usually employed for defining
make rules.
In particular, the Makefile.postlink files that consume their input via
an output rule result in some dodgy logic in the decompressor makefiles
for RISC-V and x86, given that the vmlinux.relocs input file needed to
generate the arch-specific relocation tables may not exist or be out of
date, but cannot be constructed using the ordinary Make dependency based
rules, because the info needs to be extracted while vmlinux is in its
ephemeral, non-stripped form.
So instead, for architectures that require the static relocations that
are emitted into vmlinux when passing --emit-relocs to the linker, and
are subsequently stripped out again, introduce an intermediate vmlinux
target called vmlinux.unstripped, and organize the reset of the build
logic accordingly:
- vmlinux.unstripped is created only once, and not updated again
- build rules under arch/*/boot can depend on vmlinux.unstripped without
running the risk of the data disappearing or being out of date
- the final vmlinux generated by the build is not bloated with static
relocations that are never needed again after the build completes.

Some architectures build vmlinux with static relocations preserved, but
strip them again from the final vmlinux image. Arch specific tools
consume these static relocations in order to construct relocation tables
for KASLR.
The fact that vmlinux is created, consumed and subsequently updated goes
against the typical, declarative paradigm used by Make, which is based
on rules and dependencies. So as a first step towards cleaning this up,
introduce a Kconfig symbol to declare that the arch wants to consume the
static relocations emitted into vmlinux. This will be wired up further
in subsequent patches.

The userprog infrastructure links objects files through $(CC).
Either explicitly by manually calling $(CC) on multiple object files or
implicitly by directly compiling a source file to an executable.
The documentation at Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst indicates that ld.lld
would be used for linking if LLVM=1 is specified.
However clang instead will use either a globally installed cross linker
from $PATH called ${target}-ld or fall back to the system linker, which
probably does not support crosslinking.
For the normal kernel build this is not an issue because the linker is
always executed directly, without the compiler being involved.
Explicitly pass --ld-path to clang so $(LD) is respected.
As clang 13.0.1 is required to build the kernel, this option is available.

While WAIT_FOR_ENDBR is specified to be a full speculation stop; it
has been shown that some implementations are 'leaky' to such an extend
that speculation can escape even the FineIBT preamble.
To deal with this, add additional hardening to the FineIBT preamble.
Notably, using a new LLVM feature:
e223485c9b
which encodes the number of arguments in the kCFI preamble's register.
Using this register<->arity mapping, have the FineIBT preamble CALL
into a stub clobbering the relevant argument registers in the
speculative case.
Scott sayeth thusly:
Microarchitectural attacks such as Branch History Injection (BHI) and
Intra-mode Branch Target Injection (IMBTI) [1] can cause an indirect
call to mispredict to an adversary-influenced target within the same
hardware domain (e.g., within the kernel). Instructions at the
mispredicted target may execute speculatively and potentially expose
kernel data (e.g., to a user-mode adversary) through a
microarchitectural covert channel such as CPU cache state.
CET-IBT [2] is a coarse-grained control-flow integrity (CFI) ISA
extension that enforces that each indirect call (or indirect jump)
must land on an ENDBR (end branch) instruction, even speculatively*.
FineIBT is a software technique that refines CET-IBT by associating
each function type with a 32-bit hash and enforcing (at the callee)
that the hash of the caller's function pointer type matches the hash
of the callee's function type. However, recent research [3] has
demonstrated that the conditional branch that enforces FineIBT's hash
check can be coerced to mispredict, potentially allowing an adversary
to speculatively bypass the hash check:
__cfi_foo:
ENDBR64
SUB R10d, 0x01234567
JZ foo # Even if the hash check fails and ZF=0, this branch could still mispredict as taken
UD2
foo:
...
The techniques demonstrated in [3] require the attacker to be able to
control the contents of at least one live register at the mispredicted
target. Therefore, this patch set introduces a sequence of CMOV
instructions at each indirect-callable target that poisons every live
register with data that the attacker cannot control whenever the
FineIBT hash check fails, thus mitigating any potential attack.
The security provided by this scheme has been discussed in detail on
an earlier thread [4].

Defining MAKEFLAGS=<value> on the command line wipes out command line

MAKEFLAGS puts all single-letter options into the first word, and that
word will be empty if no single-letter options were given. [2]
However, this breaks if MAKEFLAGS=<value> is given on the command line.
The tools/ and tools/% targets set MAKEFLAGS=<value> on the command
line, which breaks the following code in tools/scripts/Makefile.include:
short-opts := $(firstword -$(MAKEFLAGS))
If MAKEFLAGS really needs modification, it should be done through the
environment variable, as follows:
MAKEFLAGS=<value> $(MAKE) ...
That said, I question whether modifying MAKEFLAGS is necessary here.
The only flag we might want to exclude is --no-print-directory, as the
tools build system changes the working directory. However, people might
find the "Entering/Leaving directory" logs annoying.
I simply removed the offending MAKEFLAGS=<value>.

Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Finish the move to custom FFI integer types started in the previous
cycle and finally map 'long' to 'isize' and 'char' to 'u8'. Do a few
cleanups on top thanks to that.
- Start to use 'derive(CoercePointee)' on Rust >= 1.84.0.
This is a major milestone on the path to build the kernel using only
stable Rust features. In particular, previously we were using the
unstable features 'coerce_unsized', 'dispatch_from_dyn' and 'unsize',
and now we will use the new 'derive_coerce_pointee' one, which is on
track to stabilization. This new feature is a macro that essentially
expands into code that internally uses the unstable features that we
were using before, without having to expose those.
With it, stable Rust users, including the kernel, will be able to
build custom smart pointers that work with trait objects, e.g.:
fn f(p: &Arc<dyn Display>) {
pr_info!("{p}\n");
}
let a: Arc<dyn Display> = Arc::new(42i32, GFP_KERNEL)?;
let b: Arc<dyn Display> = Arc::new("hello there", GFP_KERNEL)?;
f(&a); // Prints "42".
f(&b); // Prints "hello there".
Together with the 'arbitrary_self_types' feature that we started
using in the previous cycle, using our custom smart pointers like
'Arc' will eventually only rely in stable Rust.
- Introduce 'PROCMACROLDFLAGS' environment variable to allow to link
Rust proc macros using different flags than those used for linking
Rust host programs (e.g. when 'rustc' uses a different C library
than the host programs' one), which Android needs.
- Help kernel builds under macOS with Rust enabled by accomodating
other naming conventions for dynamic libraries (i.e. '.so' vs.
'.dylib') which are used for Rust procedural macros. The actual
support for macOS (i.e. the rest of the pieces needed) is provided
out-of-tree by others, following the policy used for other parts of
the kernel by Kbuild.
- Run Clippy for 'rusttest' code too and clean the bits it spotted.
- Provide Clippy with the minimum supported Rust version to improve
the suggestions it gives.
- Document 'bindgen' 0.71.0 regression.
'kernel' crate:
- 'build_error!': move users of the hidden function to the documented
macro, prevent such uses in the future by moving the function
elsewhere and add the macro to the prelude.
- 'types' module: add improved version of 'ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut'
(which was removed in the past since it was problematic); change
'ForeignOwnable' pointer type to '*mut'.
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Display' for 'Box' and align the 'Debug'
implementation to it; add example (doctest) for 'ArrayLayout::new()'.
- 'sync' module: document 'PhantomData' in 'Arc'; use
'NonNull::new_unchecked' in 'ForeignOwnable for Arc' impl.
- 'uaccess' module: accept 'Vec's with different allocators in
'UserSliceReader::read_all'.
- 'workqueue' module: enable run-testing a couple more doctests.
- 'error' module: simplify 'from_errno()'.
- 'block' module: fix formatting in code documentation (a lint to catch
these is being implemented).
- Avoid 'unwrap()'s in doctests, which also improves the examples by
showing how kernel code is supposed to be written.
- Avoid 'as' casts with 'cast{,_mut}' calls which are a bit safer.
And a few other cleanups.

These are flags to be passed when linking proc macros for the Rust
toolchain. If unset, it defaults to $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS).
This is needed because the list of flags to link hostprogs is not
necessarily the same as the list of flags used to link libmacros.so.
When we build proc macros, we need the latter, not the former (e.g. when
using a Rust compiler binary linked to a different C library than host
programs).
To distinguish between the two, introduce this new variable to stand
out from KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS used to link other host progs.

[ v3:
- `export`ed the variable. Otherwise it would not be visible in
`rust/Makefile`.
- Removed "additional" from the documentation and commit message,
since this actually replaces the other flags, unlike other cases.
- Added example of use case to documentation and commit message.
Thanks Alice for the details on what Google needs!
- Instead of `HOSTLDFLAGS`, used `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` as the fallback
to preserve the previous behavior as much as possible, as discussed
with Alice/Yifan. Thus moved the variable down too (currently we
do not modify `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` elsewhere) and avoided
mentioning `HOSTLDFLAGS` directly in the documentation.
- Fixed documentation header formatting.
- Reworded slightly.

Because the `macros` crate exposes procedural macros, it must be
compiled as a dynamic library (so it can be loaded by the compiler at
compile-time).
Before this change the resulting artifact was always named
`libmacros.so`, which works on hosts where this matches the naming
convention for dynamic libraries. However the proper name on macOS would
be `libmacros.dylib`.
This turns out to matter even when the dependency is passed with a path
(`--extern macros=path/to/libmacros.so` rather than `--extern macros`)
because rustc uses the file name to infer the type of the library (see
link). This is because there's no way to specify both the path to and
the type of the external library via CLI flags. The compiler could
speculatively parse the file to determine its type, but it does not do
so today.
This means that libraries that match neither rustc's naming convention
for static libraries nor the platform's naming convention for dynamic
libraries are *rejected*.
The only solution I've found is to follow the host platform's naming
convention. This patch does that by querying the compiler to determine
the appropriate name for the artifact. This allows the kernel to build
with CONFIG_RUST=y on macOS.

This is new API which caters to the following requirements:
- Pack or unpack a large number of fields to/from a buffer with a small
code footprint. The current alternative is to open-code a large number
of calls to pack() and unpack(), or to use packing() to reduce that
number to half. But packing() is not const-correct.
- Use unpacked numbers stored in variables smaller than u64. This
reduces the rodata footprint of the stored field arrays.
- Perform error checking at compile time, rather than runtime, and return
void from the API functions. Because the C preprocessor can't generate
variable length code (loops), this is a bit tricky to do with macros.
To handle this, implement macros which sanity check the packed field
definitions based on their size. Finally, a single macro with a chain of
__builtin_choose_expr() is used to select the appropriate macros. We
enforce the use of ascending or descending order to avoid O(N^2) scaling
when checking for overlap. Note that the macros are written with care to
ensure that the compilers can correctly evaluate the resulting code at
compile time. In particular, care was taken with avoiding too many nested
statement expressions. Nested statement expressions trip up some
compilers, especially when passing down variables created in previous
statement expressions.
There are two key design choices intended to keep the overall macro code
size small. First, the definition of each CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_N macro is
implemented recursively, by calling the N-1 macro. This avoids needing
the code to repeat multiple times.
Second, the CHECK_PACKED_FIELD macro enforces that the fields in the
array are sorted in order. This allows checking for overlap only with
neighboring fields, rather than the general overlap case where each field
would need to be checked against other fields.
The overlap checks use the first two fields to determine the order of the
remaining fields, thus allowing either ascending or descending order.
This enables drivers the flexibility to keep the fields ordered in which
ever order most naturally fits their hardware design and its associated
documentation.
The CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS macro is directly called from within pack_fields
and unpack_fields, ensuring that all drivers using the API receive the
benefits of the compile-time checks. Users do not need to directly call
any of the macros directly.
The CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS and its helper macros CHECK_PACKED_FIELDS_(0..50)
are generated using a simple C program in scripts/gen_packed_field_checks.c
This program can be compiled on demand and executed to generate the
macro code in include/linux/packing.h. This will aid in the event that a
driver needs more than 50 fields. The generator can be updated with a new
size, and used to update the packing.h header file. In practice, the ice
driver will need to support 27 fields, and the sja1105 driver will need
to support 0 fields. This on-demand generation avoids the need to modify
Kbuild. We do not anticipate the maximum number of fields to grow very
often.
- Reduced rodata footprint for the storage of the packed field arrays.
To that end, we have struct packed_field_u8 and packed_field_u16, which
define the fields with the associated type. More can be added as
needed (unlikely for now). On these types, the same generic pack_fields()
and unpack_fields() API can be used, thanks to the new C11 _Generic()
selection feature, which can call pack_fields_u8() or pack_fields_16(),
depending on the type of the "fields" array - a simplistic form of
polymorphism. It is evaluated at compile time which function will actually
be called.
Over time, packing() is expected to be completely replaced either with
pack() or with pack_fields().
