Miguel Ojeda d4ef8d3ff0 clang-format: add configuration file
clang-format is a tool to format C/C++/...  code according to a set of
rules and heuristics.  Like most tools, it is not perfect nor covers
every single case, but it is good enough to be helpful.

In particular, it is useful for quickly re-formatting blocks of code
automatically, for reviewing full files in order to spot coding style
mistakes, typos and possible improvements.  It is also handy for sorting
``#includes``, for aligning variables and macros, for reflowing text and
other similar tasks.  It also serves as a teaching tool/guide for
newcomers.

The tool itself has been already included in the repositories of popular
Linux distributions for a long time.  The rules in this file are
intended for clang-format >= 4, which is easily available in most
distributions.

This commit adds the configuration file that contains the rules that the
tool uses to know how to format the code according to the kernel coding
style.  This gives us several advantages:

  * clang-format works out of the box with reasonable defaults;
    avoiding that everyone has to re-do the configuration.

  * Everyone agrees (eventually) on what is the most useful default
    configuration for most of the kernel.

  * If it becomes commonplace among kernel developers, clang-format
    may feel compelled to support us better. They already recognize
    the Linux kernel and its style in their documentation and in one
    of the style sub-options.

Some of clang-format's features relevant for the kernel are:

  * Uses clang's tooling support behind the scenes to parse and rewrite
    the code. It is not based on ad-hoc regexps.

  * Supports reasonably well the Linux kernel coding style.

  * Fast enough to be used at the press of a key.

  * There are already integrations (either built-in or third-party)
    for many common editors used by kernel developers (e.g. vim,
    emacs, Sublime, Atom...) that allow you to format an entire file
    or, more usefully, just your selection.

  * Able to parse unified diffs -- you can, for instance, reformat
    only the lines changed by a git commit.

  * Able to reflow text comments as well.

  * Widely supported and used by hundreds of developers in highly
    complex projects and organizations (e.g. the LLVM project itself,
    Chromium, WebKit, Google, Mozilla...). Therefore, it will be
    supported for a long time.

Masahiro Yamada fbfa9be990 kbuild: move include/config/ksym/* to include/ksym/*
The idea of using fixdep was inspired by Kconfig, but autoksyms
belongs to a different group.  So, I want to move those touched
files under include/config/ksym/ to include/ksym/.

The directory include/ksym/ can be removed by 'make clean' because
it is meaningless for the external module building.

Paolo Pisati 5704d4557f scripts/package: snap-pkg target
Following in footsteps of other targets like 'deb-pkg, 'rpm-pkg' and 'tar-pkg',
this patch adds a 'snap-pkg' target for the creation of a Linux kernel snap
package using the kbuild infrastructure.

A snap, in its general form, is a self contained, sandboxed, universal package
and it is intended to work across multiple distributions and/or devices. A snap
package is distributed as a single compressed squashfs filesystem.

A kernel snap is a snap package carrying the Linux kernel, kernel modules,
accessory files (DTBs, System.map, etc) and a manifesto file.  The purpose of a
kernel snap is to carry the Linux kernel during the creation of a system image,
eg. Ubuntu Core, and its subsequent upgrades.

For more information on snap packages: https://snapcraft.io/docs/

Luis R. Rodriguez dd951fc1b6 scripts: add Linux .cocciconfig for coccinelle
Coccinelle supports reading .cocciconfig, the order of precedence for
variables for .cocciconfig is as follows:

 o Your current user's home directory is processed first
 o Your directory from which spatch is called is processed next
 o The directory provided with the --dir option is processed last, if used

Since coccicheck runs through make, it naturally runs from the kernel
proper dir, as such the second rule above would be implied for picking up a
.cocciconfig when using 'make coccicheck'.

'make coccicheck' also supports using M= targets.If you do not supply
any M= target, it is assumed you want to target the entire kernel.
The kernel coccicheck script has:

    if [ "$KBUILD_EXTMOD" = "" ] ; then
        OPTIONS="--dir $srctree $COCCIINCLUDE"
    else
        OPTIONS="--dir $KBUILD_EXTMOD $COCCIINCLUDE"
    fi

KBUILD_EXTMOD is set when an explicit target with M= is used. For both cases
the spatch --dir argument is used, as such third rule applies when
whether M= is used or not, and when M= is used the target directory can
have its own .cocciconfig file. When M= is not passed as an argument to
coccicheck the target directory is the same as the directory from where
spatch was called.

If not using the kernel's coccicheck target, keep the above precedence order
logic of .cocciconfig reading. If using the kernel's coccicheck target,
override any of the kernel's .coccicheck's settings using SPFLAGS.

We help Coccinelle when used against Linux with a set of sensible defaults
options for Linux with our own Linux .cocciconfig. This hints to coccinelle
git can be used for 'git grep' queries over coccigrep. A timeout of 200
seconds should suffice for now.

The options picked up by coccinelle when reading a .cocciconfig do not appear
as arguments to spatch processes running on your system, to confirm what
options will be used by Coccinelle run:

  spatch --print-options-only

You can override with your own preferred index option by using SPFLAGS.
Coccinelle supports both glimpse and idutils. Glimpse had historically
provided the best performance, however recent benchmarks reveal idutils
is performing just as well. Due to some recent fixes however you however
will need at least coccinelle >= 1.0.6 if using idutils.

Coccinelle carries a script scripts/idutils_index.sh which creates the
idutils database with as follows:

    mkid -i C --output .id-utils.index

If using just "--use-idutils" coccinelle expects your idutils database to be
on the top level of the kernel as a file named ".id-utils.index". If you do
not use this you can symlink your database file to it, or you can specify the
database file following the "--use-idutils" argument. Examples:

    make SPFLAGS=--use-idutils coccicheck

This assumes you have $srctree/.id-utils.index, where $srctree is
the top level of the kernel.

    make SPFLAGS="--use-idutils /full-path/to/ID" coccicheck

Here you specify the full path of the idutils ID database. Using
.cocciconfig is possible, however given the order of precedence followed
by Coccinelle, and since the kernel now carries its own .cocciconfig,
you will need to use SPFLAGS to use idutils if desired.

v4:

o Recommend upgrade for using idutils with coccinelle due to some
  recent fixes.

o Refer to using --print-options-only for testing what options are
  picked up by .cocciconfig reading.

o Expand commit log considerably explaining *why* .cocconfig from
  two precedence rules are used when using coccicheck, and how to
  properly override these if needed.

o Expand Documentation/coccinelle.txt

v3: Expand commit log a bit more

Emese Revfy 6b90bd4ba4 GCC plugin infrastructure
This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from
grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and
building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too.
Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins.

The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory
there. The plugins compile with these options:
 * -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too
 * -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too
 * -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too
 * -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal
    errors)
 * -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h)
 * -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version
    variable, plugin-version.h)

The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It
supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script
chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).
This script also checks the availability of the included headers in
scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h.

The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins
and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions.

The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration
structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes.

Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper
targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules.

Based on work created by the PaX Team.

David Woodhouse fb11794991 modsign: Use single PEM file for autogenerated key
The current rule for generating signing_key.priv and signing_key.x509 is
a classic example of a bad rule which has a tendency to break parallel
make. When invoked to create *either* target, it generates the other
target as a side-effect that make didn't predict.

So let's switch to using a single file signing_key.pem which contains
both key and certificate. That matches what we do in the case of an
external key specified by CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_KEY anyway, so it's also
slightly cleaner.

Andi Kleen 866ced950b kbuild: Support split debug info v4
This is an alternative approach to lower the overhead of debug info
(as we discussed a few days ago)

gcc 4.7+ and newer binutils have a new "split debug info" debug info
model where the debug info is only written once into central ".dwo" files.

This avoids having to copy it around multiple times, from the object
files to the final executable. It lowers the disk space
requirements. In addition it defaults to compressed debug data.

More details here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission

This patch adds a new option to enable it. It has to be an option,
because it'll undoubtedly break everyone's debuginfo packaging scheme.
gdb/objdump/etc. all still work, if you have new enough versions.

I don't see big compile wins (maybe a second or two faster or so), but the
object dirs with debuginfo get significantly smaller. My standard kernel
config (slightly bigger than defconfig) shrinks from 2.9G disk space
to 1.1G objdir (with non reduced debuginfo). I presume if you are IO limited
the compile time difference will be larger.

Only problem I've seen so far is that it doesn't play well with older
versions of ccache (apparently fixed, see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10005)

Zhao, Gang 082722a0f1 .gitignore: ignore Module.symvers in all directories
When using `make M=/path/to/driver modules` to build a module, file
Module.symvers will be created in that directory, so it's better to
ignore it in all directories.

Slightly reordered, let specific file names behind general ones.

Jonathan Austin da01ee3c8e .gitignore: remove stale entry for generated version.h
Since userspace headers were moved to generated/uapi it possible to have a
stale copy of linux/version.h at that file's old location.  This causes
confusion after building an older kernel version, then checking out and
building a new one; the old (stale) version header will still get picked
up until it is manually removed.  This upsets the C library.

Since the uapi changes, include/linux/version.h is no longer generated and
should not be ignored, so this patch removes it from .gitignore.

Sam Ravnborg d8ecc5cd8e kbuild: asm-generic support
There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.

With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild

To use a generic file just add:

        generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h>

For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.

When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.

The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.

The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive
the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/

Romain Francoise 790e10ba6c .gitignore: ignore *.xz files
Building with CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ results in the following:

 # Untracked files:
 #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
 #
 #       arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.xz

So ignore xz-compressed files at the top level like we already do for
other compression types.

Linus Torvalds 6db823cf4b Fix up .gitignore for top-level file patterns
Some of the gitignore file patters were explicitly meant to be only for
the top level, but weren't marked that way, so they would trigger
recursively in subdirectories too.  Normally that was harmless, but at
least "linux" happened to trigger elsewhere too. Fix it up.

And other patterns in that section weren't necessarily top-level at all.

Michal Marek bc081dd6e9 kbuild: generate modules.builtin
To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to
distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional
config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y'
or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in
obj-Y.

We no longer use this directory for generated files and
all architectures has moved their header files so no
symlink tricks are needed either.

Drop the symlink and drop the ARCH check.

If we really need to check that the SRCARCH has not changed
when we build a kernel we can add this check back - but then we will
find a more convenient way to store the info.

The simplest method was to add an extra asm-offsets.h

We can now migrate the architectures one-by-one to reference
the generated file direct - and when done we can delete the
temporary arch/$ARCH/include/asm/asm-offsets.h file.
