Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build
on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such
an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a
risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on
!COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on
allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who
just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'.
While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it
explicitly should see it.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

In ThinPro, we use the convention <upstream_ver>+hp<patchlevel> for
the kernel package. This does not have a dash in the name or version.
This is built by editing ".version" before a build, and setting
EXTRAVERSION="+hp" and KDEB_PKGVERSION make variables:
echo 68 > .version
make -j<n> EXTRAVERSION="+hp" bindeb-pkg KDEB_PKGVERSION=6.12.2+hp69
.deb name: linux-image-6.12.2+hp_6.12.2+hp69_amd64.deb
Since commit 7d4f07d5cb ("kbuild: deb-pkg: squash
scripts/package/deb-build-option to debian/rules"), this no longer
works. The deb build logic changed, even though, the commit message
implies that the logic should be unmodified.
Before, KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION was not set if the KDEB_PKGVERSION did
not contain a dash. After the change KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION is always
set to KDEB_PKGVERSION. Since this determines UTS_VERSION, the uname
output to look off:
(now) uname -a: version 6.12.2+hp ... #6.12.2+hp69
(expected) uname -a: version 6.12.2+hp ... #69
Update the debian/rules logic to restore the original behavior.

'man dpkg-deb' describes as follows:
DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE
Sets the compressor type to use (since dpkg 1.21.10).
The -Z option overrides this value.
When commit 1a7f0a34ea ("builddeb: allow selection of .deb compressor")
was applied, dpkg-deb did not support this environment variable.
Later, dpkg commit c10aeffc6d71 ("dpkg-deb: Add support for
DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE/LEVEL") introduced support for
DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE, which provides the same functionality as
KDEB_COMPRESS.
KDEB_COMPRESS is still useful for users of older dpkg versions, but I
would like to remove this redundant functionality in the future.

encourage migration to DPKG_DEB_COMPRESSOR_TYPE where possible.

When loading symbols from kernel modules we used to iterate
from 0 to module_sect_attrs::nsections, in order to
retrieve their name and address.
However module_sect_attrs::nsections has been removed from
the struct by a previous commit.
Re-arrange the iteration by accessing all items in
module_sect_attrs::grp::bin_attrs[] until NULL is found
(it's a NULL terminated array).
At the same time the symbol address cannot be extracted
from module_sect_attrs::attrs[]::address anymore because
it has also been deleted. Fetch it from
module_sect_attrs::grp::bin_attrs[]::private as described
in 4b2c11e4aa.

Objtool warnings can be indicative of crashes, broken live patching, or
even boot failures. Ignoring them is not recommended.
Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR to upgrade objtool warnings to errors by
enabling the objtool --Werror option. Also set --backtrace to print the
branches leading up to the warning, which can help considerably when
debugging certain warnings.
To avoid breaking bots too badly for now, make it the default for real

We currently have $lx_per_cpu() which works fine for stuff that kernel
code would access via per_cpu(). But this doesn't work for stuff that
kernel code accesses via per_cpu_ptr():
(gdb) p $lx_per_cpu(node_data[1].node_zones[2]->per_cpu_pageset)
Cannot access memory at address 0xffff11105fbd6c28
This is because we take the address of the pointer and use that as the
offset, instead of using the stored value.
Add a GDB version that mirrors the kernel API, which uses the pointer
value.
To be consistent with per_cpu_ptr(), we need to return the pointer value
instead of dereferencing it for the user. Therefore, move the existing
dereference out of the per_cpu() Python helper and do that only in the
$lx_per_cpu() implementation.

Patch series "get_maintainer: report subsystem status separately", v2.
The subsystem status (S: field) can inform a patch submitter if the
subsystem is well maintained or e.g. maintainers are missing. In
get_maintainer, it is currently reported with --role(stats) by adjusting
the maintainer role for any status different from Maintained. This has
two downsides:
- if a subsystem has only reviewers or mailing lists and no maintainers,
the status is not reported. For example Orphan subsystems typically
have no maintainers so there's nobody to report as orphan minder.
- the Supported status means that someone is paid for maintaining, but
it is reported as "supporter" for all the maintainers, which can be
incorrect (only some of them may be paid). People (including myself)
have been also confused about what "supporter" means.
The second point has been brought up in 2022 and the discussion in the end
resulted in adjusting documentation only [1]. I however agree with Ted's
points that it's misleading to take the subsystem status and apply it to
all maintainers [2].
The attempt to modify get_maintainer output was retracted after Joe
objected that the status becomes not reported at all [3]. This series
addresses that concern by reporting the status (unless it's the most
common Maintained one) on separate lines that follow the reported emails,
using a new --substatus parameter. Care is taken to reduce the noise to
minimum by not reporting the most common Maintained status, by default
require no opt-in that would need the users to discover the new parameter,
and at the same time not to break existing git --cc-cmd usage.

This patch (of 2):
The subsystem status is currently reported with --role(stats) by adjusting
the maintainer role for any status different from Maintained. This has
two downsides:
- if a subsystem has only reviewers or mailing lists and no maintainers,
the status is not reported (i.e. typically, Orphan subsystems have no
maintainers)
- the Supported status means that someone is paid for maintaining, but
it is reported as "supporter" for all the maintainers, which can be
incorrect. People have been also confused about what "supporter"
means.
This patch introduces a new --substatus option and functionality aimed to
report the subsystem status separately, without adjusting the reported
maintainer role. After the e-mails are output, the status of subsystems
will follow, for example:
...
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list:LIBRARY CODE)
LIBRARY CODE status: Supported
In order to allow replacing the role rewriting seamlessly, the new
option works as follows:
- it is automatically enabled when --email and --role are enabled
(the defaults include --email and --rolestats which implies --role)
- usages with --norolestats e.g. for git's --cc-cmd will thus need no
adjustments
- the most common Maintained status is not reported at all, to reduce
unnecessary noise
- THE REST catch-all section (contains lkml) status is not reported
- the existing --subsystem and --status options are unaffected so their
users will need no adjustments

There is currently no tool to extract a firmware blob that is built-in
on vmlinux to the best of my knowledge. So if we have a kernel image
containing the blobs, and we want to rebuild the kernel with some debug
patches for example (and given that the image also has IKCONFIG=y), we
currently can't do that for the same versions for all the firmware
blobs, _unless_ we have exact commits of linux-firmware for the
specific versions for each firmware included.
Through the options CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE{_DIR} one is able to build a
kernel including firmware blobs in a built-in fashion. This is usually
the case of built-in drivers that require some blobs in order to work
properly, for example, like in non-initrd based systems.
Add hereby a script to extract these blobs from a non-stripped vmlinux,
similar to the idea of "extract-ikconfig". The firmware loader interface
saves such built-in blobs as rodata entries, having a field for the FW
name as "_fw_<module_name>_<firmware_name>_bin"; the tool extracts files
named "<module_name>_<firmware_name>" for each rodata firmware entry
detected. It makes use of awk, bash, dd and readelf, pretty standard
tooling for Linux development.
With this tool, we can blindly extract the FWs and easily re-add them
in the new debug kernel build, allowing a more deterministic testing
without the burden of "hunting down" the proper version of each
firmware binary.

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.

Commit 5cc1247204 ("kbuild: add CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP expert option")
mentioned that "the .map file can be rather large (several MB), and
that's a waste of space when one isn't interested in these things."
If that is the case, generating map files for the intermediate
tmp_vmlinux* files is also a waste of space. It is unlikely that
anyone would be interested in the .tmp_vmlinux*.map files.
This commit stops passing the -Map= option when linking the .tmp_vmlinux*
intermediates.
I also hard-coded the file name 'vmlinux.map' instead of ${output}.map
because a later commit will introduce vmlinux.unstripped but I want to
keep the current name of the map file.

The .rodata.(cst|str)* sections are often resized during the final
linking and since these sections do not cover actual symbols there is
no need to include them in the modules.builtin.ranges data.
When these sections were included in processing and resizing occurred,
modules were reported with ranges that extended beyond their true end,
causing subsequent symbols (in address order) to be associated with
the wrong module.

Kernel build commands can sometimes be long, particularly when
cross-compiling, making them tedious to type and prone to mistypes.
This commit introduces bash completion support for common variables
and targets in Kbuild.
For installation instructions, please refer to the documentation in
Documentation/kbuild/bash-completion.rst.
The following examples demonstrate how this saves typing.
[Example 1] a long command line for cross-compiling
$ make A<TAB>
-> completes 'A' to 'ARCH='
$ make ARCH=<TAB>
-> displays all supported architectures
$ make ARCH=arm64 CR<TAB>
-> completes 'CR' to 'CROSS_COMPILE='
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=<TAB>
-> displays installed toolchains
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aa<TAB>
-> completes 'CROSS_COMPILE=aa' to 'CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-'
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- def<TAB>
-> completes 'def' to 'defconfig'
[Example 2] a single build target
$ make f<TAB>
-> completes 'f' to 'fs/'
$ make fs/<TAB>
-> displays objects and sub-directories in fs/
$ make fs/xf<TAB>
-> completes 'fs/xf' to 'fs/xfs/'
$ make fs/xfs/l<TAB>
-> completes 'fs/xfs/l' to 'fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_'
$ make fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_g<TAB>
-> completes 'fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_g' to 'fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_group.o'
This does not aim to provide a complete list of variables and targets,
as there are too many. However, it covers variables and targets used
in common scenarios, and I hope this is useful enough.
