When using the -dtbs syntax, you need to list the base first, as
follows:
foo-dtbs := foo_base.dtb foo_overlay1.dtbo foo_overlay2.dtbo
dtb-y := foo.dtb
You cannot do this arrangement:
foo-dtbs := foo_overlay1.dtbo foo_overlay2.dtbo foo_base.dtb
This restriction comes from $(firstword ...) in the current
implementation, but it is unneeded to rely on the order in the
-dtbs syntax.
Instead, you can simply determine the base by the suffix because
the base (*.dtb) and overlays (*.dtbo) use different suffixes.

Change the script to match any number. To be filtered out stack sizes

To get the correct symbol address, the st_value must be added.
This issue has never been noticed since commit 93684d3b80 ("kbuild:

st_value becomes zero on most architectures when the referenced symbol
is looked up. It is not true for riscv or loongarch, at least.

Pull staging driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 6.7-rc1. A bit
bigger than 6.6 this time around, as it coincided with the Outreachy
and mentorship application process, so we got a bunch of new
developers sending in their first changes, which is nice to see.
Also in here is a removal of the qlge ethernet driver, and the
rtl8192u wireless driver. Both of these were very old and no one was
maintaining them, the wireless driver removal was due to no one using
it anymore, and no hardware to be found, and is part of a larger
effort to remove unused and old wifi drivers from the system.
The qlge ethernet driver did have one user pop up after it was
dropped, and we are working with the network mainainers to figure out
what tree it will come back in from and who will be responsible for
it, and if it really is being used or not. Odds are it will show up in
a network subsystem pull request after -rc1 is out, but we aren't sure
yet.
Other smaller changes in here are:
- Lots of vc04_services work by Umang to clean up the mess created by
the rpi developers long ago, bringing it almost into good enough
shape to get out of staging, hopefully next major release, it's
getting close.
- rtl8192e variable cleanups and removal of unused code and
structures
- vme_user coding style cleanups
- other small coding style cleanups to lots of the staging drivers
- octeon typedef removals, and then last-minute revert when it was
found to break the build in some configurations (it's a hard driver
to build properly, none of the normal automated testing catches
it.)

"Build:
- Compile BPF programs by default if clang (>= 12.0.1) is available
to enable more features like kernel lock contention, off-cpu
profiling, kwork, sample filtering and so on.
This can be disabled by passing BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0 to make.
- Produce better error messages for bison on debug build (make
DEBUG=1) by defining YYDEBUG symbol internally.
perf record:
- Track sideband events (like FORK/MMAP) from all CPUs even if perf
record targets a subset of CPUs only (using -C option). Otherwise
it may lose some information happened on a CPU out of the target
list.
- Fix checking raw sched_switch tracepoint argument using system BTF.
This affects off-cpu profiling which attaches a BPF program to the
raw tracepoint.
perf lock contention:
- Add --lock-cgroup option to see contention by cgroups. This should
be used with BPF only (using -b option).
$ sudo perf lock con -ab --lock-cgroup -- sleep 1
contended total wait max wait avg wait cgroup
835 14.06 ms 41.19 us 16.83 us /system.slice/led.service

1 491 ns 491 ns 491 ns /system.slice/connectd.service
- Add -G/--cgroup-filter option to see contention only for given
cgroups.
This can be useful when you identified a cgroup in the above
command and want to investigate more on it. It also works with
other output options like -t/--threads and -l/--lock-addr.
$ sudo perf lock con -ab -G /user.slice/user-657345.slice/session-c4.scope -- sleep 1

1 4.97 us 4.97 us 4.97 us spinlock futex_q_lock+0x2a
- Use per-cpu array for better spinlock tracking. This is to improve
performance of the BPF program and to avoid nested contention on a
lock in the BPF hash map.
- Update callstack check for PowerPC. To find a representative caller
of a lock, it needs to look up the call stacks. It ends the lookup
when it sees 0 in the call stack buffer. However, PowerPC call
stacks can have 0 values in the beginning so skip them when it
expects valid call stacks after.
perf kwork:
- Support 'sched' class (for -k option) so that it can see task
scheduling event (using sched_switch tracepoint) as well as irq and
workqueue items.
- Add perf kwork top subcommand to show more accurate cpu utilization
with sched class above. It works both with a recorded data (using
perf kwork record command) and BPF (using -b option). Unlike perf
top command, it does not support interactive mode (yet).
$ sudo perf kwork top -b -k sched

- Add -G/--cgroups option to perf bench sched pipe. The pipe bench is
good to measure context switch overhead. With this option, it puts
the reader and writer tasks in separate cgroups to enforce context
switch between two different cgroups.
Also it needs to set CPU affinity of the tasks in a CPU to
accurately measure the impact of cgroup context switches.
$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 0.307 [sec]
3.078180 usecs/op
324867 ops/sec
Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000':
200,026 context-switches
63 cgroup-switches
0.321637922 seconds time elapsed
You can see small number of cgroup-switches because both write and
read tasks are in the same cgroup.
$ sudo mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/{AAA,BBB}
$ sudo perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -- \
> taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 100000 pipe operations between two processes
Total time: 0.351 [sec]
3.512990 usecs/op
284657 ops/sec
Performance counter stats for 'taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 100000 -G AAA,BBB':
200,020 context-switches
200,019 cgroup-switches
0.365034567 seconds time elapsed
Now context-switches and cgroup-switches are almost same. And you
can see the pipe operation took little more.
- Kill child processes when perf bench sched messaging exited
abnormally. Otherwise it'd leave the child doing unnecessary work.
perf test:
- Fix various shellcheck issues on the tests written in shell script.
- Skip tests when condition is not satisfied:
- object code reading test for non-text section addresses.
- CoreSight test if cs_etm// event is not available.
- lock contention test if not enough CPUs.
Event parsing:
- Make PMU alias name loading lazy to reduce the startup time in the
event parsing code for perf record, stat and others in the general
case.
- Lazily compute PMU default config. In the same sense, delay PMU
initialization until it's really needed to reduce the startup cost.
- Fix event term values that are raw events. The event specification
can have several terms including event name. But sometimes it
clashes with raw event encoding which starts with 'r' and has
hex-digits.
For example, an event named 'read' should be processed as a normal
event but it was mis-treated as a raw encoding and caused a
failure.
$ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1
event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/'
\___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
Event metrics:
- Add "Compat" regex to match event with multiple identifiers.
- Usual updates for Intel, Power10, Arm telemetry/CMN and AmpereOne.
Misc:
- Assorted memory leak fixes and footprint reduction.
- Add "bpf_skeletons" to perf version --build-options so that users
can check whether their perf tools have BPF support easily.
- Fix unaligned access in Intel-PT packet decoder found by
undefined-behavior sanitizer.
- Avoid frequency mode for the dummy event. Surprisingly it'd impact
kernel timer tick handler performance by force iterating all PMU
events.
- Update bash shell completion for events and metrics"

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.
The lengthier patch series are
- 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling
- After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
the use of min_t() and max_t()
- A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
task_struct.thread_group"

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"The only thing worth highligthing is that gzip moves to use vmalloc()
instead of kmalloc just as we had a fix for this for zstd on v6.6-rc1.
The rest is regular house keeping, keeping things neat, tidy, and
boring"
[ The kmalloc -> vmalloc conversion is not the right approach.
Unless you know you need huge areas or know you need to use virtual
mappings for some reason (playing with protection bits or whatever),
you should use kvmalloc()/kvfree, which automatically picks the right
allocation model - Linus ]

vmap_area does not exist on no-MMU, therefore the GDB scripts fail to
load:

gdb.error: No struct type named vmap_area.
To fix this, disable the command and add an informative error message if
CONFIG_MMU is not defined, following the example of lx-slabinfo.
