2026-01-06scripts/gen-btf.sh: Ensure initial object in gen_btf_o is ELF with correct ↵Nathan Chancellor1-1/+1
endianness After commit 600605853f87 ("scripts/gen-btf.sh: Fix .btf.o generation when compiling for RISCV"), there is an error from llvm-objcopy when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled: llvm-objcopy: error: '.tmp_vmlinux1.btf.o': The file was not recognized as a valid object file Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux KBUILD_CFLAGS includes CC_FLAGS_LTO, which makes clang emit an LLVM IR object, rather than an ELF one as expected by llvm-objcopy. Most areas of the kernel deal with this by filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO from KBUILD_CFLAGS for the particular object or directory but this is not so easy to do in bash. Just include '-fno-lto' after KBUILD_CFLAGS to ensure an ELF object is consistently created as the initial .o file. Additionally, while there is no reported or discovered bug yet, the absence of KBUILD_CPPFLAGS from this command could result in incorrect endianness because KBUILD_CPPFLAGS typically contains '-mbig-endian' and '-mlittle-endian' so that biendian toolchains can be used. Include it in this ${CC} command to hopefully limit necessary changes to this command for the foreseeable future.

2026-01-06kconfig: Support conditional deps using "depends on X if Y"Nicolas Pitre11-5/+111
Extend the "depends on" syntax to support conditional dependencies using "depends on X if Y". While functionally equivalent to "depends on X || (Y == n)", "depends on X if Y" is much more readable and makes the kconfig language uniform in supporting the "if <expr>" suffix. This also improves readability for "optional" dependencies, which are the subset of conditional dependencies where X is Y. Previously such optional dependencies had to be expressed as the counterintuitive "depends on X || !X", now this can be represented as "depends on X if X". The change is implemented by converting the "X if Y" syntax into the "X || (Y == n)" syntax during "depends on" token processing.

2026-01-05kbuild: remove gcc's -Wtype-limitsVincent Mailhol1-1/+3
W=2 builds are heavily polluted by the -Wtype-limits warning. Here are some W=12 statistics on Linux v6.19-rc1 for an x86_64 defconfig (with just CONFIG_WERROR set to "n") using gcc 14.3.1: Warning name count percent ------------------------------------------------- -Wlogical-op 2 0.00 % -Wmaybe-uninitialized 138 0.20 % -Wunused-macros 869 1.24 % -Wmissing-field-initializers 1418 2.02 % -Wshadow 2234 3.19 % -Wtype-limits 65378 93.35 % ------------------------------------------------- Total 70039 100.00 % As we can see, -Wtype-limits represents the vast majority of all warnings. The reason behind this is that these warnings appear in some common header files, meaning that some unique warnings are repeated tens of thousands of times (once per header inclusion). Add to this the fact that each warning is coupled with a dozen lines detailing some macro expansion. The end result is that the W=2 output is just too bloated and painful to use. Three years ago, I proposed in [1] modifying one such header to silence that noise. Because the code was not faulty, Linus rejected the idea and instead suggested simply removing that warning. At that time, I could not bring myself to send such a patch because, despite its problems, -Wtype-limits would still catch the below bug: unsigned int ret; ret = check(); if (ret < 0) error(); Meanwhile, based on another suggestion from Linus, I added a new check to sparse [2] that would catch the above bug without the useless spam. With this, remove gcc's -Wtype-limits. People who still want to catch incorrect comparisons between unsigned integers and zero can now use sparse instead. On a side note, clang also has a -Wtype-limits warning but: * it is not enabled in the kernel at the moment because, contrary to gcc, clang did not include it under -Wextra. * it does not warn if the code results from a macro expansion. So, if activated, it would not cause as much spam as gcc does. * -Wtype-limits is split into four sub-warnings [3] meaning that if it were to be activated, we could select which one to keep. So there is no present need to explicitly disable -Wtype-limits in clang.

This demonstrates a larger conversion to use Clang's context analysis. The benefit is additional static checking of locking rules, along with better documentation. Notably, kernel/sched contains sufficiently complex synchronization patterns, and application to core.c & fair.c demonstrates that the latest Clang version has become powerful enough to start applying this to more complex subsystems (with some modest annotations and changes).

2026-01-05compiler-context-analysis: Introduce header suppressionsMarco Elver2-0/+36
While we can opt in individual subsystems which add the required annotations, such subsystems inevitably include headers from other subsystems which may not yet have the right annotations, which then result in false positive warnings. Making compatible by adding annotations across all common headers currently requires an excessive number of __no_context_analysis annotations, or carefully analyzing non-trivial cases to add the correct annotations. While this is desirable long-term, providing an incremental path causes less churn and headaches for maintainers not yet interested in dealing with such warnings. Rather than clutter headers unnecessary and mandate all subsystem maintainers to keep their headers working with context analysis, suppress all -Wthread-safety warnings in headers. Explicitly opt in headers with context-enabled primitives. With this in place, we can start enabling the analysis on more complex subsystems in subsequent changes.

2026-01-05compiler-context-analysis: Add infrastructure for Context Analysis with ClangMarco Elver2-0/+17
Context Analysis is a language extension, which enables statically checking that required contexts are active (or inactive), by acquiring and releasing user-definable "context locks". An obvious application is lock-safety checking for the kernel's various synchronization primitives (each of which represents a "context lock"), and checking that locking rules are not violated. Clang originally called the feature "Thread Safety Analysis" [1]. This was later changed and the feature became more flexible, gaining the ability to define custom "capabilities". Its foundations can be found in "Capability Systems" [2], used to specify the permissibility of operations to depend on some "capability" being held (or not held). Because the feature is not just able to express "capabilities" related to synchronization primitives, and "capability" is already overloaded in the kernel, the naming chosen for the kernel departs from Clang's "Thread Safety" and "capability" nomenclature; we refer to the feature as "Context Analysis" to avoid confusion. The internal implementation still makes references to Clang's terminology in a few places, such as `-Wthread-safety` being the warning option that also still appears in diagnostic messages. [1] https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html [2] https://www.cs.cornell.edu/talc/papers/capabilities.pdf See more details in the kernel-doc documentation added in this and subsequent changes.

2025-12-31resolve_btfids: Implement --patch_btfidsIhor Solodrai2-2/+2
Recent changes in BTF generation [1] rely on ${OBJCOPY} command to update .BTF_ids section data in target ELF files. This exposed a bug in llvm-objcopy --update-section code path, that may lead to corruption of a target ELF file. Specifically, because of the bug st_shndx of some symbols may be (incorrectly) set to 0xffff (SHN_XINDEX) [2][3]. While there is a pending fix for LLVM, it'll take some time before it lands (likely in 22.x). And the kernel build must keep working with older LLVM toolchains in the foreseeable future. Using GNU objcopy for .BTF_ids update would work, but it would require changes to LLVM-based build process, likely breaking existing build environments as discussed in [2]. To work around llvm-objcopy bug, implement --patch_btfids code path in resolve_btfids as a drop-in replacement for: ${OBJCOPY} --update-section .BTF_ids=${btf_ids} ${elf} Which works specifically for .BTF_ids section: ${RESOLVE_BTFIDS} --patch_btfids ${btf_ids} ${elf} This feature in resolve_btfids can be removed at some point in the future, when llvm-objcopy with a relevant bugfix becomes common.

Since commit e7e2941300d2 ("kbuild: split device tree build rules into scripts/Makefile.dtbs"), it is no longer possible to compile a device tree blob that is not specified in a make rule like: dtb-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.dtb Before the mentioned commit, one could copy a dts file to e.g. arch/arm64/boot/dts/ (or a new subdirectory) and then convert it to a dtb file using: make ARCH=arm64 foo.dtb In this scenario, both 'dtb-y' and 'dtb-' are empty, and the inclusion of scripts/Makefile.dtbs relies on 'targets' to contain the MAKECMDGOALS. The value of 'targets', however, is only final later in the code. Move the conditional include of scripts/Makefile.dtbs down to where the value of 'targets' is final. Since Makefile.dtbs updates 'always-y' which is used as a prerequisite in the build rule, the build rule also needs to move down.

Dmitry Vyukov reported that commit 9362d34acf91 ("scripts/clang-tools: Handle included .c files in gen_compile_commands") generates false entries in some cases for C files that are included in other C files but not meant for standalone compilation. For properly supporting clangd, including .c files is discouraged.

2025-12-22sign-file: Use only the OpenSSL CMS API for signingPetr Pavlu1-63/+3
The USE_PKCS7 code in sign-file utilizes PKCS7_sign(), which allows signing only with SHA-1. Since SHA-1 support for module signing has been removed, drop the use of the OpenSSL PKCS7 API by the tool in favor of using only the newer CMS API. The use of the PKCS7 API is selected by the following: #if defined(LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER) || \ OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10000000L || \ defined(OPENSSL_NO_CMS) #define USE_PKCS7 #endif Looking at the individual ifdefs: * LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER: LibreSSL added the CMS API implementation from OpenSSL in 3.1.0, making the ifdef no longer relevant. This version was released on April 8, 2020. * OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10000000L: OpenSSL 1.0.0 was released on March 29, 2010. Supporting earlier versions should no longer be necessary. The file Documentation/process/changes.rst already states that at least version 1.0.0 is required to build the kernel. * OPENSSL_NO_CMS: OpenSSL can be configured with "no-cms" to disable CMS support. In this case, sign-file will no longer be usable. The CMS API support is now required. In practice, since distributions now typically sign modules with SHA-2, for which sign-file already required CMS API support, removing the USE_PKCS7 code shouldn't cause any issues.

2025-12-21scripts: coccicheck: filter *.cocci files by MODESongwei Chai1-1/+5
Enhance the coccicheck script to filter *.cocci files based on the specified MODE (e.g., report, patch). This ensures that only compatible semantic patch files are executed, preventing errors such as: "virtual rule report not supported" This error occurs when a .cocci file does not define a 'virtual <MODE>' rule, yet is executed in that mode. For example: make coccicheck M=drivers/hwtracing/coresight/ MODE=report In this case, running "secs_to_jiffies.cocci" would trigger the error because it lacks support for 'report' mode. With this change, such files are skipped automatically, improving robustness and developer experience.

2025-12-19kbuild: Add top-level target for building gen_init_cpioNicolas Schier1-1/+0
Add a top-level target for building gen_init_cpio to prevent re-entering kbuild for 'modules-cpio-pkg'. The recently introduced target 'modules-cpio-pkg' depends on gen_init_cpio but there is no simple way to add this dependency as a prerequisite that can be built in parallel to other recipes. Introducing the top-level target, enables fixing this and also prepares a possible move of gen_init_cpio from usr/ to scripts/.

2025-12-19kconfig: move XPM icons to separate filesRostislav Krasny18-385/+345
Replace deprecated gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data() with gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file() and update both GTK and QT frontends to load XPM icons from separate files in scripts/kconfig/icons/ instead of from the code. xpm_menu_inv and xpm_void were removed and not converted into xpm files because they are not used since commit 64285dc5c41f ("kconfig: gconf: inline fill_row() into set_node()"). This eliminates the GTK deprecation warnings at compile time and improves memory usage and code organization.

2025-12-19resolve_btfids: Change in-place update with raw binary outputIhor Solodrai5-45/+173
Currently resolve_btfids updates .BTF_ids section of an ELF file in-place, based on the contents of provided BTF, usually within the same input file, and optionally a BTF base. Change resolve_btfids behavior to enable BTF transformations as part of its main operation. To achieve this, in-place ELF write in resolve_btfids is replaced with generation of the following binaries: * ${1}.BTF with .BTF section data * ${1}.BTF_ids with .BTF_ids section data if it existed in ${1} * ${1}.BTF.base with .BTF.base section data for out-of-tree modules The execution of resolve_btfids and consumption of its output is orchestrated by scripts/gen-btf.sh introduced in this patch. The motivation for emitting binary data is that it allows simplifying resolve_btfids implementation by delegating ELF update to the $OBJCOPY tool [1], which is already widely used across the codebase. There are two distinct paths for BTF generation and resolve_btfids application in the kernel build: for vmlinux and for kernel modules. For the vmlinux binary a .BTF section is added in a roundabout way to ensure correct linking. The patch doesn't change this approach, only the implementation is a little different. Before this patch it worked as follows: * pahole consumed .tmp_vmlinux1 [2] and added .BTF section with llvm-objcopy [3] to it * then everything except the .BTF section was stripped from .tmp_vmlinux1 into a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object [2], later linked into vmlinux * resolve_btfids was executed later on vmlinux.unstripped [4], updating it in-place After this patch gen-btf.sh implements the following: * pahole consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and produces a *detached* file with raw BTF data * resolve_btfids consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and detached BTF to produce (potentially modified) .BTF, and .BTF_ids sections data * a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object is then produced with objcopy copying BTF output of resolve_btfids * .BTF_ids data gets embedded into vmlinux.unstripped in link-vmlinux.sh by objcopy --update-section For kernel modules, creating a special .bpf.o file is not necessary, and so embedding of sections data produced by resolve_btfids is straightforward with objcopy. With this patch an ELF file becomes effectively read-only within resolve_btfids, which allows deleting elf_update() call and satellite code (like compressed_section_fix [5]). Endianness handling of .BTF_ids data is also changed. Previously the "flags" part of the section was bswapped in sets_patch() [6], and then Elf_Type was modified before elf_update() to signal to libelf that bswap may be necessary. With this patch we explicitly bswap entire data buffer on load and on dump.

2025-12-16modpost: drop '*_probe' from section check whitelistJohan Hovold1-1/+1
Several symbol patterns used to be whitelisted to allow drivers to refer to functions annotated with __devinit and __devexit, which have since been removed. Commit e1dc1bfe5b27 ("modpost: remove more symbol patterns from the section check whitelist") removed most of these patterns but left '*_probe' after a reported warning in an irqchip driver. Turns out that was indeed an incorrect reference which has now been fixed by commit 9b685058ca93 ("irqchip/qcom-irq-combiner: Fix section mismatch"). A recently added clocksource driver also relies on this suffix to suppress another valid warning, and that is being fixed separately. [1] Note that drivers with valid reasons for suppressing the warnings can use the __ref macros.

If not, it errors out which fails the build. In most cases this the way things work. A tracepoint can't be used if it is not defined. There is one exception; If a module only uses tracepoints that are defined in other modules or the vmlinux proper, where the tracepoints are exported. In this case, the tracepoint-update.c code thinks tracepoints are used but not defined and errors out, failing the build. When tracepoint-update.c detects this case, if it is a module that is being processed, exit out normally as it is a legitimate case. - Add tracepoint-update.c to MAINTAINERS file The tracepoint-update.c file is specific to tracing so add it to the tracing subsystem in the MAINTAINERS file. * tag 'trace-v6.19-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: MAINTAINERS: Add tracepoint-update.c to TRACING section tracing: Fix unused tracepoints when module uses only exported ones

The tracepoint-update.c code fails the build if a tracepoint is used, but there's no tracepoints defined. But this is acceptable in modules if the tracepoints are defined in the vmlinux proper or another module and exported. Do not fail to build if a tracepoint is used but no tracepoints are defined if the code is a module. This should still never happen for the vmlinux itself.
