      gcc-plugins: arm_ssp_per_task_plugin: Fix for older GCC < 6 · 259799ea
      Chris Packham authored 
      
Use gen_rtx_set instead of gen_rtx_SET. The former is a wrapper macro
that handles the difference between GCC versions implementing
the latter.

This fixes the following error on my system with g++ 5.4.0 as the host
compiler

      kconfig: make parent directories for the saved .config as needed · 580c5b3e
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      
With menuconfig / nconfig, users can input any file path from the
"Save" menu, but it fails if the parent directory does not exist.

Why not create the parent directory automatically. I think this is
a user-friendly behavior.

I changed the error messages in menuconfig / nconfig.

"Nonexistent directory" is no longer the most likely reason of the
failure. Perhaps, the user specified the existing directory, or
attempted to write to the location without write permission.

      kconfig: do not write .config if the content is the same · 67424f61
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      
Kconfig updates the .config when it exits even if its content is
exactly the same as before. Since its timestamp becomes newer than
that of other build artifacts, additional processing is invoked,
which is annoying.

- syncconfig is invoked to update include/config/auto.conf, etc.

- kernel/configs.o is recompiled if CONFIG_IKCONFIG is enabled,
  then vmlinux is relinked as well.

If the .config is not changed at all, we do not have to even
touch it. Just bail out showing "No change to .config".

  $ make allmodconfig
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --allmodconfig Kconfig
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #
  $ make allmodconfig
  scripts/kconfig/conf  --allmodconfig Kconfig

      kconfig: do not accept a directory for configuration output · ceb7f329
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      Currently, conf_write() can be called with a directory name instead
of a file name. As far as I see, this can happen for menuconfig,
nconfig, gconfig.

If it is given with a directory path, conf_write() kindly appends
getenv("KCONFIG_CONFIG"), but this ends up with hacky dir/basename
handling, and screwed up in corner-cases like "what if KCONFIG_CONFIG
is an absolute path?" as discussed before:

  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9910037/



Since conf_write() is already messed up, I'd say "do not do it".
Please pass a file path all the time. If a directory path is specified
for the configuration output, conf_write() will simply error out.

Now that the tmp file is created in the same directory as the .config,
the previously reported "what if KCONFIG_CONFIG points to a different
file system?" has been solved.

      moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file · 898490c0
      Alexey Gladkov authored 
      
Problem:

When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important
information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of
the module.  In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the
kernel, that information is not available.

Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases:

1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be
passed to the kernel at boot time.

2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in
the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image.

Proposal:

The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module
information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a
separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in
size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored
in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string
array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate
modules, we are not creating a new API.

It can be easily read in the userspace:

      unicode: refactor the rule for regenerating utf8data.h · 28ba53c0
      Masahiro Yamada authored 
      
scripts/mkutf8data is used only when regenerating utf8data.h,
which never happens in the normal kernel build. However, it is
irrespectively built if CONFIG_UNICODE is enabled.

Moreover, there is no good reason for it to reside in the scripts/
directory since it is only used in fs/unicode/.

Hence, move it from scripts/ to fs/unicode/.

In some cases, we bypass build artifacts in the normal build. The
conventional way to do so is to surround the code with ifdef REGENERATE_*.

For example,

 - 7373f4f8 ("kbuild: add implicit rules for parser generation")
 - 6aaf49b4 ("crypto: arm,arm64 - Fix random regeneration of S_shipped")

I rewrote the rule in a more kbuild'ish style.

In the normal build, utf8data.h is just shipped from the check-in file.

$ make
  [ snip ]
  SHIPPED fs/unicode/utf8data.h
  CC      fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o
  CC      fs/unicode/utf8-core.o
  CC      fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o
  AR      fs/unicode/built-in.a

If you want to generate utf8data.h based on UCD, put *.txt files into
fs/unicode/, then pass REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 from the command line.
The mkutf8data tool will be automatically compiled to generate the
utf8data.h from the *.txt files.

$ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1
  [ snip ]
  HOSTCC  fs/unicode/mkutf8data
  GEN     fs/unicode/utf8data.h
  CC      fs/unicode/utf8-norm.o
  CC      fs/unicode/utf8-core.o
  CC      fs/unicode/utf8-selftest.o
  AR      fs/unicode/built-in.a

I renamed the check-in utf8data.h to utf8data.h_shipped so that this
will work for the out-of-tree build.

You can update it based on the latest UCD like this:

$ make REGENERATE_UTF8DATA=1 fs/unicode/
$ cp fs/unicode/utf8data.h fs/unicode/utf8data.h_shipped

Also, I added entries to .gitignore and dontdiff.

      unicode: reduce the size of utf8data[] · a8384c68
      Olaf Weber authored 
      
Remove the Hangul decompositions from the utf8data trie, and do
algorithmic decomposition to calculate them on the fly. To store the
decomposition the caller of utf8lookup()/utf8nlookup() must provide a
12-byte buffer, which is used to synthesize a leaf with the
decomposition. This significantly reduces the size of the utf8data[]
array.

Changes made by Gabriel:
  Rebase to mainline
  Fix checkpatch errors
  Extract robustness fixes and merge back to original mkutf8data.c patch
  Regenerate utf8data.h

      unicode: introduce UTF-8 character database · 955405d1
      Gabriel Krisman Bertazi authored 
      The decomposition and casefolding of UTF-8 characters are described in a
prefix tree in utf8data.h, which is a generate from the Unicode
Character Database (UCD), published by the Unicode Consortium, and
should not be edited by hand.  The structures in utf8data.h are meant to
be used for lookup operations by the unicode subsystem, when decoding a
utf-8 string.

mkutf8data.c is the source for a program that generates utf8data.h. It
was written by Olaf Weber from SGI and originally proposed to be merged
into Linux in 2014.  The original proposal performed the compatibility
decomposition, NFKD, but the current version was modified by me to do
canonical decomposition, NFD, as suggested by the community.  The
changes from the original submission are:

  * Rebase to mainline.
  * Fix out-of-tree-build.
  * Update makefile to build 11.0.0 ucd files.
  * drop references to xfs.
  * Convert NFKD to NFD.
  * Merge back robustness fixes from original patch. Requested by
    Dave Chinner.

The original submission is archived at:

<https://linux-xfs.oss.sgi.narkive.com/Xx10wjVY/rfc-unicode-utf-8-support-for-xfs

>

The utf8data.h file can be regenerated using the instructions in
fs/unicode/README.utf8data.

- Notes on the update from 8.0.0 to 11.0:

The structure of the ucd files and special cases have not experienced
any changes between versions 8.0.0 and 11.0.0.  8.0.0 saw the addition
of Cherokee LC characters, which is an interesting case for
case-folding.  The update is accompanied by new tests on the test_ucd
module to catch specific cases.  No changes to mkutf8data script were
required for the updates.
