Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6):
$ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py -
FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in <module>
parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-')
File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines
line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and
the line can be dropped.
/usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3. So this would indeed be worth
going into 4.19.

Commit 37c8a5fafa3b ("kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules")
moved the location of 'dtbs_install' target which caused dtbs to not be
installed when building debian package with 'bindeb-pkg' target. Update
the builddeb script to use the same logic that determines if there's a
'dtbs_install' target which is presence of the arch dts directory. Also,
use CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE instead of CONFIG_OF as that's a better
indication of whether we are building dtbs.
This commit will also have the side effect of installing dtbs on any
arch that has dts files. Previously, it was dependent on whether the
arch defined 'dtbs_install'.

This reverts commit 6147b1cf19651c7de297e69108b141fb30aa2349.
The reverted patch results in attempted write access to the source
repository, even if that repository is mounted read-only.
Output from "strace git status -uno --porcelain":
getcwd("/tmp/linux-test", 129) = 16
open("/tmp/linux-test/.git/index.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) =
-1 EROFS (Read-only file system)
While git appears to be able to handle this situation, a monitored
build environment (such as the one used for Chrome OS kernel builds)
may detect it and bail out with an access violation error. On top of
that, the attempted write access suggests that git _will_ write to the
file even if a build output directory is specified. Users may have the
reasonable expectation that the source repository remains untouched in
that situation.

Since commit b41d920acff8 ("kbuild: deb-pkg: split generating packaging
and build"), the build version of the kernel contained in a deb package
is too low by 1.
Prior to the bad commit, the kernel was built first, then the number
in .version file was read out, and written into the debian control file.
Now, the debian control file is created before the kernel is actually
compiled, which is causing the version number mismatch.
Let the mkdebian script pass KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=${revision} to require
the build system to use the specified version number.

The current SED_CONFIG_EXP could match to comment lines in config
fragment files, especially when CONFIG_PREFIX_ is empty. For example,
Buildroot uses empty prefixing; starting symbols with BR2_ is just
convention.
Make the sed expression more robust against false positives from
comment lines. The new sed expression matches to only valid patterns.

There is one more user of $(cc-name) in the top Makefile. It is supposed
to detect Clang before invoking Kconfig, so it should still be there
in the $(shell ...) form. All the other users of $(cc-name) have been

Evaluating cc-name invokes the compiler every time even when you are
not compiling anything, like 'make help'. This is not efficient.

Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
and bring them up to date.
The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
(i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.
Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
only guarding a few non-attribute macros).
This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.
The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this
series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
__has_attribute on its own.
Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
"Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
against at least two classes of flaws:
- Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).
- Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
provides the coverage for stacks.
The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).
With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

There are some projects which use kconfig with different prefixes (e.g.
buildroot: BR2_ prefix). CONFIG_ variable is already used for this

This warning was there to avoid the use of 0bxxx values as they are not
supported by gcc prior to v4.3
Since cafa0010cd51f ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6"),
it's not an issue anymore and using such values can increase readability
of code.

Since commit c8589d1e9e01 ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency
appropriately"), $^ really represents all the prerequisite of the
composite object being built.
Hence, $(filter %.o,$^) contains all the objects to link together,
which is much simpler than link_multi_deps calculation.
Please note $(filter-out FORCE,$^) does not work here. When a single
object module is turned into a multi object module, $^ will contain
header files that were previously included for building the single
object, and recorded in the .*.cmd file. To filter out such headers,
$(filter %.o,$^) should be used here.

Make declaration type determination more robust.
When scripts/kernel-doc is deciding if some kernel-doc notation
contains an enum, a struct, a union, a typedef, or a function,
it does a pattern match on the beginning of the string, looking
for a match with one of "struct", "union", "enum", or "typedef",
and otherwise defaults to a function declaration type.
However, if a function or a function-like macro has a name that
begins with "struct" (e.g., struct_size()), then kernel-doc
incorrectly decides that this is a struct declaration.
Fix this by looking for the declaration type keywords having an
ending word boundary (\b), so that "struct_size" will not match
a struct declaration.
I compared lots of html before/after output from core-api, driver-api,
and networking. There were no differences in any of the files that
I checked.

As on x86-64 and other architectures, the boot kernel on parisc (vmlinuz
and bzImage) contains a full compressed copy of the final kernel
executable (vmlinux.bin.gz), which one should be able to extract with
the extract-vmlinux script.
But on parisc extracting the kernel with extract-vmlinux fails.
Currently the script first checks if the given file is an ELF file
(which is true on parisc) and if so returns it. Thus on parisc we
unexpectedly get back the vmlinuz boot file instead of the uncompressed
vmlinux image.
This patch fixes this issue by reverting the logic. It now first tries
to find a compression signature in the given file and if that fails it
checks the file itself as fallback.

This line was added by commit fd5f0cd6b0ce ("kbuild: Do not overwrite
makefile as anohter user"). Its commit description says the intention
was to prevent $(objtree)/Makefile from being owned by root when e.g.
running 'make install'.
However, as commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make "make install" not
depend on vmlinux") stated, installation targets must not modify the
source tree in the first place. If they do, we are already screwed up.
We must fix the root cause.
Installation targets should just copy files verbatim, hence we never
expect $(objtree)/Makefile is touched by root. The user ID check in
scripts/mkmakefile is unneeded.

around asm() related GCC inlining bugs
Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs
in GCC's inlining decisions.
Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files.
Currently only x86 will use it.
Background:
The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware
of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes,
or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data
due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ...
Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of
certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source
code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute
for "code size and complexity".
Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain
common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent
practice of putting useful information into alternative sections.
As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions
are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm()
blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in
reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine
instructions.
This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm()
blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance
overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make
frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the
way when running on baremetal hardware.
Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro
and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the
inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.)
This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount
related changes have this impact:
Makefile | 9 +++++++--
arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++
arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++
scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++-
scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++
5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read
and maintain ...
We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding
our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.
The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.
This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

Commit 217c3e019675 ("disable stringop truncation warnings for now")
disabled -Wstringop-truncation since it was too noisy.
Having __nonstring available allows us to let GCC know that a string
is not meant to be NUL-terminated, which helps suppressing some
-Wstringop-truncation warnings.
Note that using __nonstring actually triggers other warnings
(-Wstringop-overflow, which is on by default) which may be real
problems. Therefore, cleaning up -Wstringop-truncation warnings
also buys us the ability to uncover further potential problems.
To encourage the use of __nonstring, we put the warning back at W=1.
In the future, if we end up with a fairly warning-free tree,
we might want to enable it by default.
