dfc1b168a8 kbuild: userprogs: use correct lld when linking through clang
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.

1b71c2fb04 kbuild: userprogs: fix bitsize and target detection on clang
scripts/Makefile.clang was changed in the linked commit to move --target from
KBUILD_CFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, as that generally has a broader scope.
However that variable is not inspected by the userprogs logic,
breaking cross compilation on clang.

Use both variables to detect bitsize and target arguments for userprogs.

d1d0963121 tools: fix annoying "mkdir -p ..." logs when building tools in parallel
When CONFIG_OBJTOOL=y or CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, parallel builds
show awkward "mkdir -p ..." logs.

  $ make -j16
    [ snip ]
  mkdir -p /home/masahiro/ref/linux/tools/objtool && make O=/home/masahiro/ref/linux subdir=tools/objtool --no-print-directory -C objtool
  mkdir -p /home/masahiro/ref/linux/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids && make O=/home/masahiro/ref/linux subdir=tools/bpf/resolve_btfids --no-print-directory -C bpf/resolve_btfids

Defining MAKEFLAGS=<value> on the command line wipes out command line
switches from the resultant MAKEFLAGS definition, even though the command
line switches are active. [1]

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>.

0ad9617c78 Merge tag 'net-next-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "This is slightly smaller than usual, with the most interesting work
  being still around RTNL scope reduction.

  Core:

   - More core refactoring to reduce the RTNL lock contention, including
     preparatory work for the per-network namespace RTNL lock, replacing
     RTNL lock with a per device-one to protect NAPI-related net device
     data and moving synchronize_net() calls outside such lock.

   - Extend drop reasons usage, adding net scheduler, AF_UNIX, bridge
     and more specific TCP coverage.

   - Reduce network namespace tear-down time by removing per-subsystems
     synchronize_net() in tipc and sched.

   - Add flow label selector support for fib rules, allowing traffic
     redirection based on such header field.

  Netfilter:

   - Do not remove netdev basechain when last device is gone, allowing
     netdev basechains without devices.

   - Revisit the flowtable teardown strategy, dealing better with fin,
     reset and re-open events.

   - Scale-up IP-vs connection dumping by avoiding linear search on each
     restart.

  Protocols:

   - A significant XDP socket refactor, consolidating and optimizing
     several helpers into the core

   - Better scaling of ICMP rate-limiting, by removing false-sharing in
     inet peers handling.

   - Introduces netlink notifications for multicast IPv4 and IPv6
     address changes.

   - Add ipsec support for IP-TFS/AggFrag encapsulation, allowing
     aggregation and fragmentation of the inner IP.

   - Add sysctl to configure TIME-WAIT reuse delay for TCP sockets, to
     avoid local port exhaustion issues when the average connection
     lifetime is very short.

   - Support updating keys (re-keying) for connections using kernel TLS
     (for TLS 1.3 only).

   - Support ipv4-mapped ipv6 address clients in smc-r v2.

   - Add support for jumbo data packet transmission in RxRPC sockets,
     gluing multiple data packets in a single UDP packet.

   - Support RxRPC RACK-TLP to manage packet loss and retransmission in
     conjunction with the congestion control algorithm.

  Driver API:

   - Introduce a unified and structured interface for reporting PHY
     statistics, exposing consistent data across different H/W via
     ethtool.

   - Make timestamping selectable, allow the user to select the desired
     hwtstamp provider (PHY or MAC) administratively.

   - Add support for configuring a header-data-split threshold (HDS)
     value via ethtool, to deal with partial or buggy H/W
     implementation.

   - Consolidate DSA drivers Energy Efficiency Ethernet support.

   - Add EEE management to phylink, making use of the phylib
     implementation.

   - Add phylib support for in-band capabilities negotiation.

   - Simplify how phylib-enabled mac drivers expose the supported
     interfaces.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Make the YNL tool package-friendly to make it easier to deploy it
     separately from the kernel.

   - Increase TCP selftest coverage importing several packetdrill
     test-cases.

   - Regenerate the ethtool uapi header from the YNL spec, to ease
     maintenance and future development.

   - Add YNL support for decoding the link types used in net self-tests,
     allowing a single build to run both net and drivers/net.

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "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"

ceff0757f5 kbuild: rust: add PROCMACROLDFLAGS
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.

0730422bce rust: use host dylib naming convention to support macOS
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.

41d7ea3049 lib: packing: add pack_fields() and unpack_fields()
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().
