This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv, m32r,
metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to ensure
that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely unused in
mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the respective
ports to start with and getting them included in upstream, but also saw
no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company
in charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It seems
that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not used the
custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In contrast,
CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively maintained
kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I made
sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile, mn10300,
and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old kernels,
but those products will never be updated to newer kernel releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing their
support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first place.
They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some degree, but
complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1. Csky posted
their first kernel patch set last week, their situation will be similar.

Backmerge tag 'v4.16-rc7' into drm-next
Linux 4.16-rc7
This was requested by Daniel, and things were getting
a bit hard to reconcile, most of the conflicts were
trivial though.
There is a change in how command line parsing is done in this version.
Excludes and includes are now ordered with the file list. Since
the spec file puts the file list before the exclude list it means newer
tar ignores the excludes and packs all the build output into the
kernel-devel RPM resulting in a huge package.
Simple argument re-ordering fixes the problem.

Some filesystems have timestamps with coarse precision that may allow
for a recently built object file to have the same timestamp as the
updated time on one of its dependency files. When that happens, the
object file doesn't get rebuilt as it should.
This is especially the case on filesystems that don't have sub-second
time precision, such as ext3 or Ext4 with 128B inodes.
Let's prevent that by making sure updated dependency files have a newer
timestamp than the first file we created (i.e. autoksyms.h.tmpnew).

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.
Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree
FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This
assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The
label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file.
Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the
kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the
following:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'

bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file
name to underscores when constructing the labels.
As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC
contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests
on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files
are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y,
or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it
admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a
separate issue).

kconfig.h was excluded from consideration by fixdep by
6a5be57f0f (fixdep: fix extraneous dependencies) to avoid some false
positive hits
(1) include/config/.h
(2) include/config/h.h
(3) include/config/foo.h
(1) occurred because kconfig.h contains the string CONFIG_ in a
comment. However, since dee81e9886 (fixdep: faster CONFIG_ search), we
have a check that the part after CONFIG_ is non-empty, so this does not
happen anymore (and CONFIG_ appears by itself elsewhere, so that check
is worthwhile).
(2) comes from the include guard, __LINUX_KCONFIG_H. But with the
previous patch, we no longer match that either.
That leaves (3), which amounts to one [1] false dependency (aka stat() call
done by make), which I think we can live with:
We've already had one case [2] where the lack of include/linux/kconfig.h in
the .o.cmd file caused a missing rebuild, and while I originally thought
we should just put kconfig.h in the dependency list without parsing it
for the CONFIG_ pattern, we actually do have some real CONFIG_ symbols
mentioned in it, and one can imagine some translation unit that just
does '#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN' but doesn't through some other header
actually depend on CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN - so changing the target
endianness could end up rebuilding the world, minus that small
TU. Quoting Linus,
... when missing dependencies cause a missed re-compile, the resulting
bugs can be _really_ subtle.
[1] well, two, we now also have CONFIG_BOOGER/booger.h - we could change
that to FOO if we care

The string CONFIG_ quite often appears after other alphanumerics,
meaning that that instance cannot be referencing a Kconfig
symbol. Omitting these means make has fewer files to stat() when
deciding what needs to be rebuilt - for a defconfig build, this seems to
remove about 2% of the (wildcard ...) lines from the .o.cmd files.

uml-config.h hasn't existed in this decade (87e299e5c7 - x86, um: get
rid of uml-config.h). The few remaining UML_CONFIG instances are defined
directly in terms of their real CONFIG symbol in common-offsets.h, so
unlike when the symbols got defined via a sed script, anything that uses
UML_CONFIG_FOO now should also automatically pick up a dependency on
CONFIG_FOO via the normal fixdep mechanism (since common-offsets.h
should at least recursively be a dependency). Hence I believe we should
actually be able to ignore the HELLO_CONFIG_BOOM cases.

The 'defconfig_list' is a weird attribute. If the '.config' is
missing, conf_read_simple() iterates over all visible defaults,
then it uses the first one for which fopen() succeeds.
config DEFCONFIG_LIST
string
depends on !UML
option defconfig_list
default "/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config"
default "/etc/kernel-config"
default "/boot/config-$UNAME_RELEASE"
default "$ARCH_DEFCONFIG"
default "arch/$ARCH/defconfig"
However, like other symbols, the first visible default is always
written out to the .config file. This might be different from what
has been actually used.
For example, on my machine, the third one "/boot/config-$UNAME_RELEASE"
is opened, like follows:
$ rm .config
$ make oldconfig 2>/dev/null
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
#
# using defaults found in /boot/config-4.4.0-112-generic
#
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* IRQ subsystem
*
Expose irq internals in debugfs (GENERIC_IRQ_DEBUGFS) [N/y/?] (NEW)
However, the resulted .config file contains the first one since it is
visible:
$ grep CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST .config
CONFIG_DEFCONFIG_LIST="/lib/modules/$UNAME_RELEASE/.config"
In order to stop confusing people, prevent this CONFIG option from
being written to the .config file.

If stdio is not tty, conf_askvalue() puts additional new line to
prevent prompts from being concatenated into a single line. This
care is missing in conf_choice(), so a 'choice' prompt and the next
prompt are shown in the same line.
Move the code into xfgets() to cater to all cases. To improve this
more, let's echo stdin to stdout. This clarifies what keys were
input from stdio and the stdout looks like as if it were from tty.
I removed the isatty(2) check since stderr is unrelated here.

We get a lot of very large stack frames using gcc-7.0.1 with the default
-fsanitize-address-use-after-scope --param asan-stack=1 options, which can
easily cause an overflow of the kernel stack, e.g.
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2434:1: warning: the frame size of 46176 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/rt2800lib.c:5650:1: warning: the frame size of 23632 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
lib/atomic64_test.c:250:1: warning: the frame size of 11200 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/handlers.c:2621:1: warning: the frame size of 9208 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv090x.c:3431:1: warning: the frame size of 6816 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
fs/fscache/stats.c:287:1: warning: the frame size of 6536 bytes is larger than 3072 bytes
To reduce this risk, -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope is now split out
into a separate CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA Kconfig option, leading to stack
frames that are smaller than 2 kilobytes most of the time on x86_64. An
earlier version of this patch also prevented combining KASAN_EXTRA with
KASAN_INLINE, but that is no longer necessary with gcc-7.0.1.
All patches to get the frame size below 2048 bytes with CONFIG_KASAN=y
and CONFIG_KASAN_EXTRA=n have been merged by maintainers now, so we can
bring back that default now. KASAN_EXTRA=y still causes lots of
warnings but now defaults to !COMPILE_TEST to disable it in
allmodconfig, and it remains disabled in all other defconfigs since it
is a new option. I arbitrarily raise the warning limit for KASAN_EXTRA
to 3072 to reduce the noise, but an allmodconfig kernel still has around
50 warnings on gcc-7.
I experimented a bit more with smaller stack frames and have another
follow-up series that reduces the warning limit for 64-bit architectures
to 1280 bytes (without CONFIG_KASAN).
With earlier versions of this patch series, I also had patches to address
the warnings we get with KASAN and/or KASAN_EXTRA, using a
"noinline_if_stackbloat" annotation.
That annotation now got replaced with a gcc-8 bugfix (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=81715) and a workaround for
older compilers, which means that KASAN_EXTRA is now just as bad as
before and will lead to an instant stack overflow in a few extreme
cases.
This reverts parts of commit 3f181b4d86 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: disable
-Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y"). Two patches in linux-next
should be merged first to avoid introducing warnings in an allmodconfig
build:
3cd890dbe2 ("media: dvb-frontends: fix i2c access helpers for KASAN")
16c3ada89c ("media: r820t: fix r820t_write_reg for KASAN")
Do we really need to backport this?
I think we do: without this patch, enabling KASAN will lead to
unavoidable kernel stack overflow in certain device drivers when built
with gcc-7 or higher on linux-4.10+ or any version that contains a
backport of commit c5caf21ab0. Most people are probably still on
older compilers, but it will get worse over time as they upgrade their
distros.
The warnings we get on kernels older than this should all be for code
that uses dangerously large stack frames, though most of them do not
cause an actual stack overflow by themselves.The asan-stack option was
added in linux-4.0, and commit 3f181b4d86 ("lib/Kconfig.debug:
disable -Wframe-larger-than warnings with KASAN=y") effectively turned
off the warning for allmodconfig kernels, so I would like to see this
fix backported to any kernels later than 4.0.
I have done dozens of fixes for individual functions with stack frames
larger than 2048 bytes with asan-stack, and I plan to make sure that
all those fixes make it into the stable kernels as well (most are
already there).
Part of the complication here is that asan-stack (from 4.0) was
originally assumed to always require much larger stacks, but that
turned out to be a combination of multiple gcc bugs that we have now
worked around and fixed, but sanitize-address-use-after-scope (from
v4.10) has a much higher inherent stack usage and also suffers from at
least three other problems that we have analyzed but not yet fixed
upstream, each of them makes the stack usage more severe than it should
be.

Similarly to type mismatch checks, new GCC 8.x and Clang also changed for
ABI for returns_nonnull checks. While we can update our code to conform
the new ABI it's more reasonable to just remove it. Because it's just
dead code, we don't have any single user of returns_nonnull attribute in
the whole kernel.
And AFAIU the advantage that this attribute could bring would be mitigated
by -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks cflag that we use to build the kernel.
So it's unlikely we will have a lot of returns_nonnull attribute in
future.
So let's just remove the code, it has no use.

Greg KH doesn't like this test so exclude the staging directory from the
implied --strict only test unless --strict is actually used on the
command-line.

DEVICE_ATTR is a declaration macro that has a few alternate and
preferred forms like DEVICE_ATTR_RW, DEVICE_ATTR_RO, and DEVICE_ATTR.
As well, many uses of DEVICE_ATTR could use the preferred forms when the
show or store functions are also named in a regular form.
Suggest the preferred forms when appropriate.
Also emit a permissions warning if the the permissions are not the
typical 0644, 0444, or 0200.
