Over the years we went from &gt; 1000 of warnings to under 100 earlier this
year, and I sent patches to address all the ones that I saw with compile
testing randcom configs on arm64, arm and x86 kernels.  This is a really
useful warning, as it catches real bugs when there are mismatched
prototypes.  In particular with kernel control flow integrity enabled,
those are no longer allowed.

I have done extensive testing to ensure that there are no new build errors
or warnings on any configuration of x86, arm and arm64 builds.  I also
made sure that at least both the normal defconfig and an allmodconfig
build is clean for arc, csky, loongarch, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, and xtensa, with the respective maintainers
doing most of the patches.

At this point, there are five architectures with a number of known
regressions: alpha, nios2, mips, sh and sparc.  In the previous version of
this patch, I had turned off the missing prototype warnings for the 15
architectures that still had issues, but since there are only five left, I
think we can leave the rest to the maintainers (Cc'd here) as well.

<title>kbuild: support W=c and W=e shorthands for Kconfig</title>

KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS=1 and KCONFIG_WERROR=1 are descriptive
and suitable in scripting, but typing them from the command line can
be tedious.

Associate them with KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN (and the W= shorthand).

Support a new letter 'c' to enable extra checks in Kconfig. You can
still manage compiler warnings (W=1) and Kconfig warnings (W=c)
independently.

Reuse the letter 'e' to turn Kconfig warnings into errors.

As usual, you can combine multiple letters in KCONFIG_EXTRA_WARN.

  $ KCONFIG_WARN_UNKNOWN_SYMBOLS=1 KCONFIG_WERROR=1 make defconfig

can be shortened to:

  $ KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN=ce make defconfig

or, even shorter:

  $ make W=ce defconfig

<title>extrawarn: enable format and stringop overflow warnings in W=1</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6d4ab2e97dcfbcd748ae71761a9d8e5e41cc732c</id>
<content type='text'>
The stringop and format warnings got disabled globally when they were
newly introduced in commit bd664f6b3e376 ("disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings
for now"), 217c3e0196758 ("disable stringop truncation warnings for now")
and 5a76021c2eff7 ("gcc-10: disable 'stringop-overflow' warning for now").

In all cases, the sentiment at the time was that the warnings are
useful, and we actually addressed a number of real bugs based on
them, but we never managed to eliminate them all because even the
build bots using W=1 builds only see the -Wstringop-truncation
warnings that are enabled at that level.

Move these into the W=1 section to give them a larger build coverage
and actually eliminate them over time.

Some warning options are disabled at one place and then conditionally
re-enabled later in scripts/Makefile.extrawarn.

For consistency, rework this file so each of those warnings only
gets etiher enabled or disabled based on the W= flags but not both.

Warning options are enabled and disabled in inconsistent ways and
inconsistent locations. Start rearranging those by moving all options
into Makefile.extrawarn.

This should not change any behavior, but makes sure we can group them
in a way that ensures that each warning that got temporarily disabled
is turned back on at an appropriate W=1 level later on.

<title>kbuild: add -Wundef to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS for W=1 builds</title>

<id>urn:sha1:80b6093b55e31c2c40ff082fb32523d4e852954f</id>
<content type='text'>
The use of an undefined macro in an #if directive is warned, but only
in *.c files. No warning from other files such as *.S, *.lds.S.

Since -Wundef is a preprocessor-related warning, it should be added to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS.

My previous attempt [1] uncovered several issues. I could not finish
fixing them all.

This commit adds -Wundef to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS for W=1 builds in order to
block new breakages. (The kbuild test robot tests with W=1)

We can fix the warnings one by one. After fixing all of them, we can
make it default in the top Makefile, and remove -Wundef from
KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
  various hardening features (details noted below).

  The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
  overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
  on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
  buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
  time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
  years (e.g. BleedingTooth).

  This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
  positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
  reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
  All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
  either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.

  The commit message in commit 54d9469bc515 ("fortify: Add run-time WARN
  for cross-field memcpy()") for the feature has extensive details, but
  I'll repeat here that this is a warning _only_, and is not intended to
  actually block overflows (yet). The many patches fixing array sizes
  and struct members have been landing for several years now, and we're
  finally able to turn this on to find any remaining stragglers.

  Summary:

  Various fixes across several hardening areas:

   - loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).

   - zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill
     Wendling).

   - CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van
     Assche).

   - Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes
     (Sami Tolvanen, Kees Cook).

   - fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.

  Improvements to existing features:

   - testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
     add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).

   - overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.

  New features:

   - string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
     strncpy() replacement needs.

   - um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.

   - fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning"
