glibc ≥ 2.42 (GCC 15) defaults to -std=gnu23, which promotes -Wdiscarded-qualifiers to an error. In C23, strstr() and strchr() return "const char *". Change variable types to const char * where the pointers are never modified (res, sym_sfx, next_path).

That work should slow down from here on out. - The various scripts and tools for documentation were spread out in several directories; now they are (almost) all coalesced under tools/docs/. The holdout is the kernel-doc script, which cannot be easily moved without some further thought. - As the amount of Python code increases, we are accumulating modules that are imported by multiple programs.

There is other Python code in the tree that might eventually want to move toward this organization. - The Perl kernel-doc.pl script has been removed. It is no longer used by default, and nobody has missed it, least of all anybody who actually had to look at it. - The docs build was controlled by a complex mess of makefilese that few dared to touch. Mauro has moved that logic into a new program (tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper) that, with any luck at all, will be far easier to understand and maintain. - The get_feat.pl program, used to access information under Documentation/features/, has been rewritten in Python, bringing an end to the use of Perl in the docs subsystem. - The top-level README file has been reorganized into a more reader-friendly presentation. - A lot of Chinese translation additions - Typo fixes and documentation updates as usual" * tag 'docs-6.19' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (164 commits) docs: makefile: move rustdoc check to the build wrapper README: restructure with role-based documentation and guidelines docs: kdoc: various fixes for grammar, spelling, punctuation docs: kdoc_parser: use '@' for Excess enum value docs: submitting-patches: Clarify that removal of Acks needs explanation too docs: kdoc_parser: add data/function attributes to ignore docs: MAINTAINERS: update Mauro's files/paths docs/zh_CN: Add wd719x.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add libsas.rst translation get_feat.pl: remove it, as it got replaced by get_feat.py Documentation/sphinx/kernel_feat.py: use class directly tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to Python Documentation/admin-guide: fix typo and comment in cscope example docs/zh_CN: Add data-integrity.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add blk-mq.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Add block/index.rst translation docs/zh_CN: Update the Chinese translation of kbuild.rst docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchy docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python Documentation/kernel-parameters: Move the kernel build options ...

2025-12-02perf tools: Minimal DEFERRED_CALLCHAIN supportNamhyung Kim1-0/+13
Add a new event type for deferred callchains and a new callback for the struct perf_tool. For now it doesn't actually handle the deferred callchains but it just marks the sample if it has the PERF_CONTEXT_ USER_DEFFERED in the callchain array.

2025-11-21tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to PythonMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+494
As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension, convert get_feat.pl to Python. The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl version, with two exceptions: 1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set to a non-existing value; 2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the table delimiters are wrong. Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion. Additionally, another caveat was solved: the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.

2025-11-14libbpf: Fix BTF dedup to support recursive typedef definitionsPaul Houssel1-16/+55
Handle recursive typedefs in BTF deduplication Pahole fails to encode BTF for some Go projects (e.g. Kubernetes and Podman) due to recursive type definitions that create reference loops not representable in C. These recursive typedefs trigger a failure in the BTF deduplication algorithm. This patch extends btf_dedup_ref_type() to properly handle potential recursion for BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF, similar to how recursion is already handled for BTF_KIND_STRUCT. This allows pahole to successfully generate BTF for Go binaries using recursive types without impacting existing C-based workflows.

For v4 instruction set LLVM is allowed to generate indirect jumps for switch statements and for 'goto *rX' assembly. Every such a jump will be accompanied by necessary metadata, e.g. (`llvm-objdump -Sr ...`): 0: r2 = 0x0 ll 0000000000000030: R_BPF_64_64 BPF.JT.0.0 Here BPF.JT.1.0 is a symbol residing in the .jumptables section: Symbol table: 4: 0000000000000000 240 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 4 BPF.JT.0.0 The -bpf-min-jump-table-entries llvm option may be used to control the minimal size of a switch which will be converted to an indirect jumps.

Rename bpf_stream_vprintk() to bpf_stream_vprintk_impl(). This makes bpf_stream_vprintk() follow the already established "_impl" suffix-based naming convention for kfuncs with the bpf_prog_aux argument provided by the verifier implicitly. This convention will be taken advantage of with the upcoming KF_IMPLICIT_ARGS feature to preserve backwards compatibility to BPF programs.

2025-11-04libbpf: Fix parsing of multi-split BTFAlan Maguire1-2/+2
When creating multi-split BTF we correctly set the start string offset to be the size of the base string section plus the base BTF start string offset; the latter is needed for multi-split BTF since the offset is non-zero there. Unfortunately the BTF parsing case needed that logic and it was missed.
