  [option] is _one_ of the following:

    --helpnewconfig         List new options and help text
    --oldaskconfig          Start a new configuration using a line-oriented program

The reason is the '?' is missing in the short option list passed to
getopt_long().

While I fixed this issue, I also changed the option '?' to 'h'.
I prefer -h (or --help, if a long option is also desired).

Most of architectures generate syscall headers at the compile time
in a similar way.

The syscall table has the same format for all architectures. Each line
has up to 5 fields; syscall number, ABI, syscall name, native entry
point, and compat entry point. The syscall table is processed by
syscalltbl.sh script into header files.

Despite the same pattern, scripts are maintained per architecture,
which results in code duplication and bad maintainability.

If directories are passed to gen_compile_commands.py, os.walk() traverses
all the subdirectories to search for .cmd files, but we know some of them
are not worth traversing.

Use the 'topdown' parameter of os.walk to prune them.

Documentation about the 'topdown' option of os.walk:
  When topdown is True, the caller can modify the dirnames list
  in-place (perhaps using del or slice assignment), and walk() will
  only recurse into the subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames;
  this can be used to prune the search, impose a specific order of
  visiting, or even to inform walk() about directories the caller
  creates or renames before it resumes walk() again. Modifying
  dirnames when topdown is False has no effect on the behavior of
  the walk, because in bottom-up mode the directories in dirnames
  are generated before dirpath itself is generated.

This commit prunes four directories, .git, Documentation, include, and
tools.

The first three do not contain any C files, so skipping them makes this
script work slightly faster. My main motivation is the last one, tools/
directory.

Commit 6ca4c6d2 ("gen_compile_commands: do not support .cmd files
under tools/ directory") stopped supporting the tools/ directory.
The current code no longer picks up .cmd files from the tools/
directory.

If you run:

  ./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py --log_level=INFO

then, you will see several "File ... not found" log messages.

This is expected, and I do not want to support the tools/ directory.

might try to get it back. Clarify this.

DWARF v5 is the latest standard of the DWARF debug info format. GCC 11
will change the implicit default DWARF version, if left unspecified, to
DWARF v5.

Allow users of Clang and older versions of GCC that have not changed the
implicit default DWARF version to DWARF v5 to opt in. This can help
testing consumers of DWARF debug info in preparation of v5 becoming more
widespread, as well as result in significant binary size savings of the
pre-stripped vmlinux image.

DWARF5 wins significantly in terms of size when mixed with compression
(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED).

363M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5.compressed
434M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4.compressed
439M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2.compressed
457M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5
536M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4
548M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2

515M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5.compressed
599M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4.compressed
624M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2.compressed
630M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5
765M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4
809M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2

Though the quality of debug info is harder to quantify; size is not a
proxy for quality.

Jakub notes:
  One thing is GCC DWARF-5 support, that is whether the compiler will
  support -gdwarf-5 flag, and that support should be there from GCC 7
  onwards.

  All [GCC] 5.1 - 6.x did was start accepting -gdwarf-5 as experimental
  option that enabled some small DWARF subset (initially only a few
  DW_LANG_* codes newly added to DWARF5 drafts).  Only GCC 7 (released
  after DWARF 5 has been finalized) started emitting DWARF5 section
  headers and got most of the DWARF5 changes in...

  Another separate thing is whether the assembler does support
  the -gdwarf-5 option (i.e. if you can compile assembler files
  with -Wa,-gdwarf-5) ... That option is about whether the assembler
  will emit DWARF5 or DWARF2 .debug_line.  It is fine to compile C sources
  with -gdwarf-5 and use DWARF2 .debug_line for assembler files if as
  doesn't support it.

Version check GCC so that we don't need to worry about the difference in
command line args between GNU readelf and llvm-readelf/llvm-dwarfdump to
validate the DWARF Version in the assembler feature detection script.

Most issues with clang produced assembler were fixed in binutils 2.35.1,
but 2.35.2 fixed issues related to requiring the flag -Wa,-gdwarf-5
explicitly. The added shell script test checks for the latter, and is
only required when using clang without its integrated assembler, though
we use for clang regardless as we do not yet have a way to query the
assembler from Kconfig.

Disabled for now if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is set; pahole doesn't yet
recognize the new additions to the DWARF debug info.

This only modifies the DWARF version emitted by the compiler, not the
assembler.

The DWARF version of a binary can be validated with:
$ llvm-dwarfdump <object file> | head -n 4 | grep version
or
$ readelf --debug-dump=info <object file> 2>/dev/null | grep Version

Parts of the tree don't reuse DEBUG_CFLAGS as they should; such cleanup
is left as a follow up.

Adds a default CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT which allows
the implicit default version of DWARF emitted by the toolchain to
progress over time.

Modifies CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 to be a member of a choice, making it
mutually exclusive with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT. Users
may want to select this if they are using a newer toolchain, but have
consumers of the DWARF debug info that aren't yet ready for newer DWARF
versions' debug info.

Does so in a way that's forward compatible with existing
configs, and makes adding future versions more straightforward. This
patch does not change the current behavior or selection of DWARF
version for users upgrading to kernels with this patch.

GCC since ~4.8 has defaulted to DWARF v4 implicitly, and GCC 11 has
bumped this to v5.

Remove the Kconfig help text  about DWARF v4 being larger.  It's
empirically false for the latest toolchains for x86_64 defconfig, has no
point of reference (I suspect it was DWARF v2 but that's stil
empirically false), and debug info size is not a qualatative measure.

We expect toolchains to produce these new debug info sections as part of
DWARF v5. Add explicit placements to prevent the linker warnings from
--orphan-section=warn.

Compilers may produce such sections with explicit -gdwarf-5, or based on
the implicit default version of DWARF when -g is used via DEBUG_INFO.
This implicit default changes over time, and has changed to DWARF v5
with GCC 11.

.debug_sup was mentioned in review, but without compilers producing it
today, let's wait to add it until it becomes necessary.

Paul Gortmaker reported a regression in the GCC version check. [1]
If you use GCC 4.8, the build breaks before showing the error message
"error Sorry, your version of GCC is too old - please use 4.9 or newer."

I do not want to apply his fix-up since it implies we would not be able
to remove any cc-option test. Anyway, I admit checking the GCC version
in <linux/compiler-gcc.h> is too late.

Almost at the same time, Linus also suggested to move the compiler
version error to Kconfig time. [2]

I unified the two similar scripts, gcc-version.sh and clang-version.sh
into cc-version.sh. The old scripts invoked the compiler multiple times
(3 times for gcc-version.sh, 4 times for clang-version.sh). I refactored
the code so the new one invokes the compiler just once, and also tried
my best to use shell-builtin commands where possible.

The new script runs faster.

  $ time ./scripts/clang-version.sh clang
  120000

  real    0m0.029s
  user    0m0.012s
  sys     0m0.021s

  $ time ./scripts/cc-version.sh clang
  Clang 120000

  real    0m0.009s
  user    0m0.006s
  sys     0m0.004s

cc-version.sh also shows an error message if the compiler is too old:

  $ make defconfig CC=clang-9
  *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
  ***
  *** Compiler is too old.
  ***   Your Clang version:    9.0.1

The new script takes care of ICC because we have <linux/compiler-intel.h>
although I am not sure if building the kernel with ICC is well-supported.

Commit ccbef167 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion
macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO.

At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO
needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows:

    # We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not
    # support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object.
    # XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too
    # XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that?
    ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y)
        ...

However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by
commit 0d61ed17 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version
components").

Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros.

Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format
consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

The -gdwarf-4 flag is supported by GCC 4.5+, and also by Clang.

You can see it at https://godbolt.org/z/6ed1oW

  For gcc 4.5.3 pane,    line 37:    .value 0x4
  For clang 10.0.1 pane, line 117:   .short 4

Given Documentation/process/changes.rst stating GCC 4.9 is the minimal
version, this cc-option is unneeded.

Note
----

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 controls the DWARF version only for C files.

As you can see in the top Makefile, -gdwarf-4 is only passed to CFLAGS.

  ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4
  DEBUG_CFLAGS    += -gdwarf-4
  endif

This flag is used when compiling *.c files.

On the other hand, the assembler is always given -gdwarf-2.

  KBUILD_AFLAGS   += -Wa,-gdwarf-2

Hence, the debug info that comes from *.S files is always DWARF v2.
This is simply because GAS supported only -gdwarf-2 for a long time.

Recently, GAS gained the support for --gdwarf-[345] options. [1]
And, also we have Clang integrated assembler. So, the debug info
for *.S files might be improved in the future.

In my understanding, the current code is intentional, not a bug.

By default, xz without parameters uses a dictionary size of 8 MB.
However, most modules are much smaller than that.
The xz manpage states that 'increasing dictionary size usually improves
compression ratio, but a dictionary bigger than the uncompressed file
is waste of memory'.
Use a dictionary size of 2 MB for module compression, resulting in
slightly higher compression speed while still maintaining a good
compression ratio.

Randy reports the following warning when building ARCH=ia64 with
CONFIG_IA64_PALINFO=m:

../scripts/Makefile.build:68: 'arch/ia64/kernel/palinfo.ko' will not be built even though obj-m is specified.
../scripts/Makefile.build:69: You cannot use subdir-y/m to visit a module Makefile. Use obj-y/m instead.

This message is actually false-positive, and you can get palinfo.ko
correctly built. It is emitted in the archprepare stage, where Kbuild
descends into arch/ia64/kernel to generate include/generated/nr-irqs.h
instead of any kind of kernel objects.

arch/ia64/kernel/nr-irqs.c was introduced by commit 213060a4
("[IA64] pvops: paravirtualize NR_IRQS") to pre-calculate:

   NR_IRQS = max(IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS, XEN_NR_IRQS, FOO_NR_IRQS...)

Since commit d52eefb4 ("ia64/xen: Remove Xen support for ia64"), this
union contains just one field, making NR_IRQS and IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS
always match.

So, the following hard-coding now works:

  #define NR_IRQS                IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS

If you need to re-introduce NR_IRQS = max(...) gimmick in the future,
please try to implement it in asm-offsets.c instead of a separate file.
It will be possible because the header inclusion has been consolidated
to make asm-offsets.c independent of <asm/irqs.h>.

<asm/mca.h> includes too many unneeded headers.

This commit cuts off a lot of header includes.

What we need to include are:

 - <linux/percpu.h> for DECLARE_PER_CPU(u64, ia64_mca_pal_base)
 - <linux/threads.h> for NR_CPUS
 - <linux/types.h> for u8, u64, size_t, etc.
 - <asm/ptrace.h> for KERNEL_STACK_SIZE

The other header includes are actually unneeded.

<asm/mca.h> previously included 436 headers, and now it includes
only 138. I confirmed <asm/mca.h> is still self-contained.

Documentation/process/coding-style.rst says:

  Please don't use things like ``vps_t``.
  It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.

This commit converts as follows:

  struct pal_min_state_area_s  ->  struct pal_min_state_area
         pal_min_state_area_t  ->  struct pal_min_state_area

My main motivation for this is to slim down the include directives
of <asm/mca.h> in the next commit.

Currently, <asm/mca.h> is required to include <asm/pal.h> directly
or indirectly due to (pal_min_state_area_t *). Otherwise, it would
have no idea what pal_min_state_area_t is.

Replacing it with (struct pal_min_state_area *) will relax the header
dependency since it is enough to tell it is a pointer to a structure,
and to resolve the size of struct pal_min_state_area. It will make
<asm/mca.h> independent of <asm/pal.h>.

<asm/pal.h> typedef's a lot of structures, but it is trivial to
convert the others in the same way.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "A fix for a crash scenario that has been present since the initial
  merge, a minor regression in sysfs attribute visibility, and a fix for
  some flexible array warnings.

  The bulk of this pull is an update to the libnvdimm unit test
  infrastructure to test non-ACPI platforms. Given there is zero
  regression risk for test updates, and the tests enable validation of
  bits headed towards the next merge window, I saw no reason to hold the
  new tests back. Santosh originally submitted this before the v5.11
  window opened.

  Summary:

   - Fix a crash when sysfs accesses race 'dimm' driver probe/remove.

   - Fix a regression in 'resource' attribute visibility necessary for
     mapping badblocks and other physical address interrogations.

   - Fix some flexible array warnings

   - Expand the unit test infrastructure for non-ACPI platforms"
