Zhan XushengandJonathan Corbet 2c1ccd9a1d docs: changes.rst: restore pahole 1.26 minimum (regressed by sort)
Commit 9edd04c418 ("docs: Raise minimum pahole version to 1.26 for
KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS kfuncs") raised the minimum required pahole version
from 1.22 to 1.26 in the requirements table and added a paragraph
explaining the failure mode for distributions still shipping pahole
v1.25 (e.g. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS).

The next day, commit ece7e57afd ("docs: changes.rst and ver_linux:
sort the lists") came through a different tree (docs vs sched_ext) and
re-flowed the table alphabetically, but its base did not include
9edd04c418.  When the two commits met in mainline, the textual rewrite
of the table won and the version bump was lost.  The added "Since Linux
7.0..." paragraph also disappeared.

The result is that changes.rst on master (v7.1-rc5) lists pahole 1.22
again, even though sched_ext kfuncs annotated with KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS
genuinely require v1.26 to produce a correct vmlinux BTF.  Users on
distributions with pahole v1.25 hit "func_proto incompatible with
vmlinux" when loading any sched_ext BPF program (scx_simple,
scx_qmap, ...) and have no documentation pointing them at the version
gap.

Restore both changes from 9edd04c418.

Nathan Chancellor ce3267a39a kbuild: Bump minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 17.0.1
The current minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel is 15.0.0.
However, there are two deficiencies compared to GCC that were fixed in
LLVM 17 that are starting to become more noticeable.

The first was a bug in LLVM's scope checker [1], where all labels in a
function were validated as potential targets of an asm goto statement,
even if they were not listed in the asm goto statement as targets. This
becomes particularly problematic when the cleanup attribute is used, as

  asm goto(... : label_a);
  ...
label_a:
  ...
  int var __free(foo);
  asm goto(... : label_b);
  ...
label_b:
  ...

will trigger an error since the scope checker will complain that the
cleanup variable would be skipped when jumping from the first asm goto
to label_b (which obviously cannot happen). This issue was the catalyst
for commit e2ffa15b9b ("kbuild: Disable CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT on
clang < 17"). Unfortunately, this issue is reproducible with regular asm
goto in addition to asm goto with outputs, so that change was not
entirely sufficient to avoid the issue altogether. As asm goto has
effectively been required since commit a0a12c3ed0 ("asm goto:
eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO") and the usage of the cleanup attribute
continues to grow across the tree, raising the minimum to a version that
avoids this issue altogether is a better long term solution than
attempting to workaround it at every spot where it happens.

The second issue is an incompatibility with GCC 8.1+ around variables
marked with const being valid constant expressions for _Static_assert
and other macros [2]. With GCC 8.1 being the minimum supported version
since commit 118c40b7b5 ("kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30"),
this incompatibility becomes more of a maintenance burden since only
clang-15 and clang-16 are affected by it.

Looking at the clang version of various major distributions through
Docker images, no one should be left behind as a result of this bump, as
the old ones cannot clear the current minimum of 15.0.0.

  ubuntu:resolute               Ubuntu clang version 21.1.8 (6ubuntu1)

17.0.1 is chosen as the minimum instead of 17.0.0 to ensure that the
particular version of LLVM 17 has the two aforementioned bugs fixed, as
the second was fixed during the 17.0.0 release candidate phase and it
was not until LLVM 18 that LLVM adopted the scheme of x.0.0 being a
prerelease version and x.1.0 is a release version [3] to help with
scenarios such as this.

Miguel Ojeda c3a00a3f31 rust: bump bindgen minimum supported version to 0.71.1 (Debian Trixie)
As proposed in the past in e.g. LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1],
we are going to follow Debian Stable's `bindgen` versions as our minimum
supported version.

Debian Trixie was released with `bindgen` 0.71.1, which it still uses
to this day [2].

Debian Trixie's release happened on 2025-08-09 [3], which means that a
fair amount of time has passed since its release for kernel developers
to upgrade.

Thus bump the minimum to the new version.

Then, in later commits, clean up most of the workarounds and other bits
that this upgrade of the minimum allows us.

Ubuntu 25.10 also has a recent enough `bindgen` [4] (even the already
unsupported Ubuntu 25.04 had it), and they also provide versioned packages
with `bindgen` 0.71.1 back to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS [5].

Miguel Ojeda f32fb9c58a rust: bump Rust minimum supported version to 1.85.0 (Debian Trixie)
As proposed in the past in e.g. LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1],
we are going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
supported version.

Debian Trixie was released with a Rust 1.85.0 toolchain [2], which it
still uses to this day [3] (i.e. no update to Rust 1.85.1).

Debian Trixie's release happened on 2025-08-09 [4], which means that a
fair amount of time has passed since its release for kernel developers
to upgrade.

Thus bump the minimum to the new version.

Then, in later commits, clean up most of the workarounds and other bits
that this upgrade of the minimum allows us.

pin-init was left as-is since the patches come from upstream. And the
vendored crates are unmodified, since we do not want to change those.

Note that the minimum LLVM major version for Rust 1.85.0 is LLVM 18 (the
Rust upstream binaries use LLVM 19.1.7), thus e.g. `RUSTC_LLVM_VERSION`
tests can also be updated, but there are no suitable ones to simplify.

Ubuntu 25.10 also has a recent enough Rust toolchain [5], and they also
provide versioned packages with a Rust 1.85.1 toolchain even back to
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS [6].

Nathan Chancellor 20c0989283 kbuild: Bump minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0
s390 and x86 have required LLVM 15 since

  30d17fac6a ("scripts/min-tool-version.sh: raise minimum clang version to 15.0.0 for s390")
  7861640aac ("x86/build: Raise the minimum LLVM version to 15.0.0")

respectively but most other architectures allow LLVM 13.0.1 or newer. In
accordance with the recent minimum supported version of GCC bump that
happened in

  118c40b7b5 ("kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30")

do the same for LLVM to 15.0.0.

Of the supported releases of Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE
surveyed in evaluating this bump, this only leaves behind Debian
Bookworm (14.0.6) and Ubuntu Jammy (14.0.0). Debian Trixie has 19.1.7
and Ubuntu Noble has 18.1.3 (so there are viable upgrade paths) or users
can use apt.llvm.org, which provides even newer packages for those
distributions.

Mauro Carvalho ChehabandJonathan Corbet bc20c56e98 docs: changes: better document Python needs
Python is listed as an optional dependency, but this is not
true, as:

1) arm (multi_v7_defconfig and other defconfigs) and arm64 defconfig
   needs it due to DRM_MSM dependencies;

2) CONFIG_LTO_CLANG runs a python script at scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o;

3) kernel-doc is called during compilation when some DRM options
   like CONFIG_DRM_I915_WERROR are enabled;

4) allyesconfig/allmodconfig will enable CONFIG_* dependencies
   that needs it;

5) besides DRM, other subsystems seem to have logic calling *.py
   scripts.

So, better document that and change the dependency from optional
to mandatory to reflect the current needs.

Arnd Bergmann 118c40b7b5 kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30
Commit a3e8fe814a ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1")
raised the minimum compiler version as enforced by Kbuild to gcc-8.1
and clang-15 for x86.

This is actually the same gcc version that has been discussed as the
minimum for all architectures several times in the past, with little
objection. A previous concern was the kernel for SLE15-SP7 needing to
be built with gcc-7. As this ended up still using linux-6.4 and there
is no plan for an SP8, this is no longer a problem.

Change it for all architectures and adjust the documentation accordingly.
A few version checks can be removed in the process.  The binutils
version 2.30 is the lowest version used in combination with gcc-8 on
common distros, so use that as the corresponding minimum.

Masahiro Yamada 82a1978d0f kheaders: use 'tar' instead of 'cpio' for copying files
The 'cpio' command is used solely for copying header files to the
temporary directory. However, there is no strong reason to use 'cpio'
for this purpose. For example, scripts/package/install-extmod-build
uses the 'tar' command to copy files.

This commit replaces the use of 'cpio' with 'tar' because 'tar' is
already used in this script to generate kheaders_data.tar.xz anyway.

Performance-wide, there is no significant difference between 'cpio'
and 'tar'.

[Before]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | cpio --quiet -pd kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.148s
  user    0m0.021s
  sys     0m0.140s

[After]

  $ rm -fr kheaders; mkdir kheaders
  $ time sh -c '
  for f in include arch/x86/include
  do
          find "$f" -name "*.h"
  done | tar -c -f - -T - | tar -xf - -C kheaders
  '
  real    0m0.098s
  user    0m0.024s
  sys     0m0.131s

Revert commit 69ef0920bd ("Docs: Add cpio requirement to changes.rst")
because 'cpio' is not used anywhere else during the kernel build.
Please note that the built-in initramfs is created by the in-tree tool,
usr/gen_init_cpio, so it does not rely on the external 'cpio' command
at all.

Remove 'cpio' from the package build dependencies as well.

Kris Van HeesandMasahiro Yamada 5f5e734432 kbuild: generate offset range data for builtin modules
Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.

The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
 - modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
 - vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
    per section
 - vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
 - .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE

The generated data will look like:

.text 00000000-00000000 = _text
.text 0000baf0-0000cb10 amd_uncore
.text 0009bd10-0009c8e0 iosf_mbi
...
.text 00b9f080-00ba011a intel_skl_int3472_discrete
.text 00ba0120-00ba03c0 intel_skl_int3472_discrete intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
.text 00ba03c0-00ba08d6 intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
...
.data 00000000-00000000 = _sdata
.data 0000f020-0000f680 amd_uncore

For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol.  This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.

Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules.  Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.

The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.

How it works:

 1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
    module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
    the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
    referred to as <kmodfile>).  This object name can be used to
    identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
    code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
    -DKBUILD_MODFILE=<kmodfile> present in its build command, and those
    can be found in the .<obj>.cmd file in the kernel build tree.

    If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
    in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.

    This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
    kernel build belong to any modules, and which.

 2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
    top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
    turned into offsets.  This makes it possible to handle sections
    getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.

    We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
    section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
    a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).

    We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
    level section.  This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
    because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
    know what object a symbol is found in.

    And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
    (or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:

      vmlinux.map:
        <top level section>
          <included section>  -- might be same as top level section)
            <object>          -- built-in association known
              <symbol>        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:

      vmlinux.map:
        <top level section>
          <included section>  -- might be same as top level section)
            vmlinux.o         -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
              <symbol>        -- ignored
              ...

      vmlinux.o.map:
        <section>
            <object>          -- built-in association known
              <symbol>        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

 3. As sections, objects, and symbols are processed, offset ranges are
    constructed in a straight-forward way:

      - If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:
          - If we were working on the same module(s), extend the range
            to include this object
          - If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
            and start the new one
      - If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:
          - If we were working on a module(s) range, close that range

Linus Torvalds 910bfc26d1 Merge tag 'rust-6.11' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux
Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
  toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.

  The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
  we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
  Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
  plus beta, plus nightly.

  This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
  that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
  Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
  Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
  openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.

  In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
  CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
  compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
  passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
  their CI too.

  Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
  unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
  in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
  need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
  compiler versions should generally work.

  In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
  stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
  flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].

  I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
  promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support several Rust toolchain versions.

   - Support several bindgen versions.

   - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
     'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.

   - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.

   - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.

   - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
     macro.

  'macros' crate:

   - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.

   - Improve 'module!' macro documentation.

  Documentation:

   - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
     the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.

   - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.

   - Explain '#[no_std]'.

  And a few other small bits"
