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.

This was triggered by one of my mis-uses causing odd build warnings on
sparc in linux-next, but while figuring out why the "obviously correct"
use of cc-option caused such odd breakage, I found eight other cases of
the same thing in the tree.
The root cause is that 'cc-option' doesn't work for checking negative
warning options (ie things like '-Wno-stringop-overflow') because gcc
will silently accept options it doesn't recognize, and so 'cc-option'
ends up thinking they are perfectly fine.
And it all works, until you have a situation where _another_ warning is
emitted. At that point the compiler will go "Hmm, maybe the user
intended to disable this warning but used that wrong option that I
didn't recognize", and generate a warning for the unrecognized negative
option.
Which explains why we have several cases of this in the tree: the
'cc-option' test really doesn't work for this situation, but most of the
time it simply doesn't matter that ity doesn't work.
The reason my recently added case caused problems on sparc was pointed
out by Thomas Weißschuh: the sparc build had a previous explicit warning
that then triggered the new one.
I think the best fix for this would be to make 'cc-option' a bit smarter
about this sitation, possibly by adding an intentional warning to the
test case that then triggers the unrecognized option warning reliably.
But the short-term fix is to replace 'cc-option' with an existing helper
designed for this exact case: 'cc-disable-warning', which picks the
negative warning but uses the positive form for testing the compiler
support.

%p4cc is designed for DRM/V4L2 FourCCs with their specific quirks, but
it's useful to be able to print generic 4-character codes formatted as
an integer. Extend it to add format specifiers for printing generic
32-bit FourCCs with various endian semantics:
%p4ch Host byte order
%p4cn Network byte order
%p4cl Little-endian
%p4cb Big-endian
The endianness determines how bytes are interpreted as a u32, and the
FourCC is then always printed MSByte-first (this is the opposite of
V4L/DRM FourCCs). This covers most practical cases, e.g. %p4cn would
allow printing LSByte-first FourCCs stored in host endian order
(other than the hex form being in character order, not the integer
value).

Introduce git-resolve.sh, a tool that resolves short git commit IDs to their
full SHA-1 hash. This is particularly useful for navigating references in commit
messages and verifying Fixes tags.
When faced with ambiguous commit IDs or imprecise references in messages,
this tool can help by resolving commit hashes based on not just the ID
itself but also the commit subject, making it more robust than standard
git rev-parse.
This is especially valuable for maintainers who need to verify Fixes tags
or cross-reference commits. Unlike proposals to add dates to Fixes tags
(which would break existing tooling), this script provides a way to
disambiguate commits without changing the established tag format.
The script includes several features:
- Resolves short commit IDs to full SHA-1 hashes
- Uses commit subjects to disambiguate between multiple potential matches
- Supports wildcard patterns in subjects with ellipsis (...)
- Provides a force mode to attempt resolution by subject when ID lookup fails
- Includes comprehensive self-tests

GNU Make 4.3 changed the behavior of `#` inside commands in commit
c6966b323811 ("[SV 20513] Un-escaped # are not comments in function
invocations"):
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
thus a call such as:
foo := $(shell echo '#')
is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
foo := $(shell echo '\#')
Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles
portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
H := \#
foo := $(shell echo '$H')
This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.
Unlike other commits in the kernel about this issue, such as commit
633174a704 ("lib/raid6/test/Makefile: Use $(pound) instead of \#
for Make 4.3"), that fixed the issue for newer GNU Makes, in our case
it was the opposite, i.e. we need to fix it for the older ones: someone
building with e.g. 4.2.1 gets the following error:
scripts/Makefile.compiler:81: *** unterminated call to function 'call': missing ')'. Stop.
Thus use the existing variable to fix it.

If KASAN is enabled, and one runs in a clean repository e.g.:
make LLVM=1 prepare
make LLVM=1 prepare
Then the Rust code gets rebuilt, which should not happen.
The reason is some of the LLVM KASAN `rustc` flags are added in the
second run:
-Cllvm-args=-asan-instrumentation-with-call-threshold=10000
-Cllvm-args=-asan-stack=0
-Cllvm-args=-asan-globals=1
-Cllvm-args=-asan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1
Further runs do not rebuild Rust because the flags do not change anymore.
Rebuilding like that in the second run is bad, even if this just happens
with KASAN enabled, but missing flags in the first one is even worse.
The root issue is that we pass, for some architectures and for the moment,
a generated `target.json` file. That file is not ready by the time `rustc`
gets called for the flag test, and thus the flag test fails just because
the file is not available, e.g.:
$ ... --target=./scripts/target.json ... -Cllvm-args=...
error: target file "./scripts/target.json" does not exist
There are a few approaches we could take here to solve this. For instance,
we could ensure that every time that the config is rebuilt, we regenerate
the file and recompute the flags. Or we could use the LLVM version to
check for these flags, instead of testing the flag (which may have other
advantages, such as allowing us to detect renames on the LLVM side).
However, it may be easier than that: `rustc` is aware of the `-Cllvm-args`
regardless of the `--target` (e.g. I checked that the list printed
is the same, plus that I can check for these flags even if I pass
a completely unrelated target), and thus we can just eliminate the
dependency completely.
Thus filter out the target.
This does mean that `rustc-option` cannot be used to test a flag that
requires the right target, but we don't have other users yet, it is a
minimal change and we want to get rid of custom targets in the future.
We could only filter in the case `target.json` is used, to make it work
in more cases, but then it would be harder to notice that it may not
work in a couple architectures.

DCCP was orphaned in 2021 by commit 054c4610bd ("MAINTAINERS: dccp:
move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"), which noted that the last maintainer
had been inactive for five years.
In recent years, it has become a playground for syzbot, and most changes
to DCCP have been odd bug fixes triggered by syzbot. Apart from that,
the only changes have been driven by treewide or networking API updates
or adjustments related to TCP.
Thus, in 2023, we announced we would remove DCCP in 2025 via commit
b144fcaf46 ("dccp: Print deprecation notice.").
Since then, only one individual has contacted the netdev mailing list. [0]
There is ongoing research for Multipath DCCP. The repository is hosted
on GitHub [1], and development is not taking place through the upstream
community. While the repository is published under the GPLv2 license,
the scheduling part remains proprietary, with a LICENSE file [2] stating:
"This is not Open Source software."
The researcher mentioned a plan to address the licensing issue, upstream
the patches, and step up as a maintainer, but there has been no further
communication since then.
Maintaining DCCP for a decade without any real users has become a burden.
Therefore, it's time to remove it.
Removing DCCP will also provide significant benefits to TCP. It allows
us to freely reorganize the layout of struct inet_connection_sock, which
is currently shared with DCCP, and optimize it to reduce the number of
cachelines accessed in the TCP fast path.
Note that we keep DCCP netfilter modules as requested. [3]

The filtering logic was seeking for the DOC name to check for
symbols, but such data is stored only inside a section. Add it
to the output_declaration, as it is quicker/easier to check
the declaration name than to check inside each section.
While here, make sure that the output for both ReST and man
after filtering will be similar to what kernel-doc Perl
version does.

Instead of setting file lists at __init__ time, move it to
the actual parsing function. This allows adding more files
to be parsed in real time, by calling parse function multiple
times.
With the new way, the export_files logic was rewritten to
avoid parsing twice EXPORT_SYMBOL for partial matches.
Please notice that, with this logic, it can still read the
same file twice when export_file is used.

Handing nested parenthesis with regular expressions is not an
easy task. It is even harder with Python's re module, as it
has a limited subset of regular expressions, missing more
advanced features.
We might use instead Python regex module, but still the
regular expressions are very hard to understand. So, instead,
add a logic to properly match delimiters.

Maintaining kernel-doc has been a challenge, as there aren't many
perl developers among maintainers. Also, the logic there is too
complex. Having lots of global variables and using pure functions
doesn't help.
Rewrite the script in Python, placing most global variables
inside classes. This should help maintaining the script in long
term.
It also allows a better integration with kernel-doc Sphinx
extension in the future.
I opted to keep this version as close as possible to what we
have already in Perl. There are some differences though:
1. There is one regular expression that required a rewrite:
/\bSTRUCT_GROUP(\(((?:(?>[^)(]+)|(?1))*)\))[^;]*;/
As this one uses two features that aren't available by the native
Python regular expression module (re):
- recursive patterns: ?1
- atomic grouping (?>...)
Rewrite it to use a much simpler regular expression:
/\bSTRUCT_GROUP\(([^\)]+)\)[^;]*;/
Extra care should be taken when validating this script, as such
replacement might cause some regressions.
2. The filters are now applied only during output generation.
In particular, "nosymbol" argument is only handled there.
It means that, if the same file is processed twice for
different symbols, the warnings will be duplicated.
I opted to use this behavior as it allows the Sphinx extension
to read the file(s) only once, and apply the filtering only
when producing the ReST output. This hopefully will help
to speed up doc generation
3. This version can handle multiple files and multiple directories.
So, if one just wants to produce a big output with everything
inside a file, this could be done with
$ time ./scripts/kernel-doc.py -man . 2>/dev/null >new
real 0m54.592s
user 0m53.345s
sys 0m0.997s
4. I tried to replicate as much as possible the same arguments
from kernel-doc, with about the same behavior, for the
command line parameters starting with a single dash (-parameter).
I also added one letter aliases for each parameter, and a
--parameter (sometimes with a better name).
5. There are some sutile nuances between how Perl handles
certain regular expressions. In special, the qr operatior,
which compiles a regular expression also works as a
non-capturing group. It means that some regexes like
this one:
my $type1 = qr{[\w\s]+};
needs to be mapped as:
type1 = r'(?:[\w\s]+)?'
