There has been a long-standing request to support building external
modules in a separate build directory.
This commit introduces a new environment variable, KBUILD_EXTMOD_OUTPUT,
and its shorthand Make variable, MO.
A simple usage:
$ make -C <kernel-dir> M=<module-src-dir> MO=<module-build-dir>

With the previous changes, $(extmod_prefix), $(MODORDER), and
$(MODULES_NSDEPS) are constant. (empty, modules.order, and
modules.nsdeps, respectively).
Remove these variables and hard-code their values.

Currently, Kbuild always operates in the output directory of the kernel,
even when building external modules. This increases the risk of external
module Makefiles attempting to write to the kernel directory.
This commit switches the working directory to the external module
directory, allowing the removal of the $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/ prefix from
some build artifacts.
The command for building external modules maintains backward
compatibility, but Makefiles that rely on working in the kernel
directory may break. In such cases, $(objtree) and $(srctree) should
be used to refer to the output and source directories of the kernel.
The appearance of the build log will change as follows:
[Before]
$ make -C /path/to/my/linux M=/path/to/my/externel/module
make: Entering directory '/path/to/my/linux'
CC [M] /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.o
MODPOST /path/to/my/externel/module/Module.symvers
CC [M] /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.mod.o
CC [M] /path/to/my/externel/module/.module-common.o
LD [M] /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.ko
make: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/linux'
[After]
$ make -C /path/to/my/linux M=/path/to/my/externel/module
make: Entering directory '/path/to/my/linux'
make[1]: Entering directory '/path/to/my/externel/module'
CC [M] helloworld.o
MODPOST Module.symvers
CC [M] helloworld.mod.o
CC [M] .module-common.o
LD [M] helloworld.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/externel/module'
make: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/linux'
Printing "Entering directory" twice is cumbersome. This will be
addressed later.

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
- The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!
- Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

- Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.
- Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.
- We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:

If you want to help avoid Linux kernel modules regressions, now its
simple, just add a new Linux modules sefltests under
tools/testing/selftests/module/ That is it. All new selftests will be
used and leveraged automatically by the CI.

$(objtree) refers to the top of the output directory of kernel builds.
This commit adds the explicit $(objtree)/ prefix to build artifacts
needed for building external modules.
This change has no immediate impact, as the top-level Makefile
currently defines:
objtree := .
This commit prepares for supporting the building of external modules
in a different directory.

Kernels built without CONFIG_MODULES might still want to create -dbg deb
packages but install_linux_image_dbg() assumes modules.order always
exists. This obviously isn't true if no modules were built, so we should
skip reading modules.order in that case.

Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like
AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information
about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a
binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's
optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary.
The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the
create_llvm_prof tool
(https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This
commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features
like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS.
Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller
optimized kernel:
1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller
build config
CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
then
$ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile>
“<autofdo_profile>” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller
AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization
level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block
information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized
kernel.
2) Install the kernel on test/production machines.
3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number,
like 500009, for this purpose.
For Intel platforms:
$ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
-o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
For AMD platforms:
The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
# To see if Zen3 support LBR:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
# To see if Zen4 support LBR:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
# If the result is yes, then collect the profile using:
$ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
-N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.
5) Generate Propeller profile:
$ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
--format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \
--out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt \
--propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt
“create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt
binary for linux can be found on
https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1 (can also build
from source).
"<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like
"/home/user/dir/any_string".
This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles:
"<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and
"<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt".
6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.
CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
and
$ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile> \
CLANG_PROPELLER_PROFILE_PREFIX=<propeller_profile_prefix>

Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang.
Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that
splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all
cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code
fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization.
MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.

Enable -ffunction-sections by default for the AutoFDO build.
With -ffunction-sections, the compiler places each function in its own
section named .text.function_name instead of placing all functions in
the .text section. In the AutoFDO build, this allows the linker to
utilize profile information to reorganize functions for improved
utilization of iCache and iTLB.

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a
frequent source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide
new developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very
nice.
- Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
_not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up
locally ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).
- Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance,
our first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
importantly, enabling the checking of private items.
- Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.
- Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is
the support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e.
as receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc'
that common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has
been accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps
required to get there.
- Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.
- Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.
- Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize'
instead of 32/64-bit integers.
- Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.
- Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some
distributions backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All
major distributions we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.
'macros' crate:
- Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and
clean up and enable the corresponding doctests.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove
the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the
extension traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags.
Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'.
Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type
'T' that is also generic over an allocator and considers the
kernel's GFP flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add
'ArrayLayout' type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type)
and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator
support.
For instance, now we may write code such as:
let mut v = KVec::new();
v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?;
assert_eq!(&v, &[1]);
Treewide, move as well old users to these new types.
- 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the
'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types
and the 'global_lock!' macro. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method.
- 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make
conversion functions public.
- 'page' module: add 'page_align' function.
- Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes'
traits.
- 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation.
- 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple
examples for the 'Either' types.
drm/panic:
- Clean up a series of Clippy warnings.
Documentation:
- Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature.
- Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.

"sysctl ctl_table constification:
- Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of
proc_handler function pointers. All ctl_table struct arguments are
const qualified in the sysctl API in such a way that the ctl_table
arrays being defined elsewhere and passed through sysctl can be
constified one-by-one.

kernel/ucount.c and expect all the ctl_tables to be constified in
the coming releases.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.
This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are
called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can
sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault
in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been
made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space
parameters and record them.
Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers
(perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow
faults.
- Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
- Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
- Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
- Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
- Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
- Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
- Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
- Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with
atomic64_inc_return(counter)
- Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
- Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
- Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph
tracer is also running.
When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the
parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
"return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
- Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
- Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack
function filter.
echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update for timekeeping and timers:
- The final step to get rid of auto-rearming posix-timers
posix-timers are currently auto-rearmed by the kernel when the
signal of the timer is ignored so that the timer signal can be
delivered once the corresponding signal is unignored.
This requires to throttle the timer to prevent a DoS by small
intervals and keeps the system pointlessly out of low power states
for no value. This is a long standing non-trivial problem due to
the lock order of posix-timer lock and the sighand lock along with
life time issues as the timer and the sigqueue have different life
time rules.
Cure this by:
- Embedding the sigqueue into the timer struct to have the same
life time rules. Aside of that this also avoids the lookup of
the timer in the signal delivery and rearm path as it's just a
always valid container_of() now.
- Queuing ignored timer signals onto a seperate ignored list.
- Moving queued timer signals onto the ignored list when the
signal is switched to SIG_IGN before it could be delivered.
- Walking the ignored list when SIG_IGN is lifted and requeue the
signals to the actual signal lists. This allows the signal
delivery code to rearm the timer.
This also required to consolidate the signal delivery rules so they
are consistent across all situations. With that all self test
scenarios finally succeed.
- Core infrastructure for VFS multigrain timestamping
This is required to allow the kernel to use coarse grained time
stamps by default and switch to fine grained time stamps when inode
attributes are actively observed via getattr().
These changes have been provided to the VFS tree as well, so that
the VFS specific infrastructure could be built on top.
- Cleanup and consolidation of the sleep() infrastructure
- Move all sleep and timeout functions into one file
- Rework udelay() and ndelay() into proper documented inline
functions and replace the hardcoded magic numbers by proper
defines.
- Rework the fsleep() implementation to take the reality of the
timer wheel granularity on different HZ values into account.
Right now the boundaries are hard coded time ranges which fail
to provide the requested accuracy on different HZ settings.
- Update documentation for all sleep/timeout related functions
and fix up stale documentation links all over the place
- Fixup a few usage sites
- Rework of timekeeping and adjtimex(2) to prepare for multiple PTP
clocks
A system can have multiple PTP clocks which are participating in
seperate and independent PTP clock domains. So far the kernel only
considers the PTP clock which is based on CLOCK TAI relevant as
that's the clock which drives the timekeeping adjustments via the
various user space daemons through adjtimex(2).
The non TAI based clock domains are accessible via the file
descriptor based posix clocks, but their usability is very limited.
They can't be accessed fast as they always go all the way out to
the hardware and they cannot be utilized in the kernel itself.
As Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) gains traction it is required to
provide fast user and kernel space access to these clocks.
The approach taken is to utilize the timekeeping and adjtimex(2)
infrastructure to provide this access in a similar way how the
kernel provides access to clock MONOTONIC, REALTIME etc.
Instead of creating a duplicated infrastructure this rework
converts timekeeping and adjtimex(2) into generic functionality
which operates on pointers to data structures instead of using
static variables.
This allows to provide time accessors and adjtimex(2) functionality
for the independent PTP clocks in a subsequent step.
- Consolidate hrtimer initialization
hrtimers are set up by initializing the data structure and then
seperately setting the callback function for historical reasons.
That's an extra unnecessary step and makes Rust support less
straight forward than it should be.
Provide a new set of hrtimer_setup*() functions and convert the
core code and a few usage sites of the less frequently used
interfaces over.
The bulk of the htimer_init() to hrtimer_setup() conversion is
already prepared and scheduled for the next merge window.
- Drivers:
- Ensure that the global timekeeping clocksource is utilizing the
cluster 0 timer on MIPS multi-cluster systems.
Otherwise CPUs on different clusters use their cluster specific
clocksource which is not guaranteed to be synchronized with
other clusters.
- Mostly boring cleanups, fixes, improvements and code movement"

Currently if an fopen fails the error exit path is via code that
checks if fp is not null and closes the file, however, fp is null
so this check and close is redundant. Since the only use of the
err exit label is on the fopen check, remove it and replace the
code with a simple return of errno. Also remove variable rc since
it's no longer required.

Pull selinux updates from Paul Moore:
- Add support for netlink xperms
Some time ago we added the concept of "xperms" to the SELinux policy
so that we could write policy for individual ioctls, this builds upon
this by using extending xperms to netlink so that we can write
SELinux policy for individual netlnk message types and not rely on
the fairly coarse read/write mapping tables we currently have.
There are limitations involving generic netlink due to the
multiplexing that is done, but it's no worse that what we currently
have. As usual, more information can be found in the commit message.
- Deprecate /sys/fs/selinux/user
We removed the only known userspace use of this back in 2020 and now
that several years have elapsed we're starting down the path of
deprecating it in the kernel.
- Cleanup the build under scripts/selinux
A couple of patches to move the genheaders tool under
security/selinux and correct our usage of kernel headers in the tools
located under scripts/selinux. While these changes originated out of
an effort to build Linux on different systems, they are arguably the

When testing a `clang` upgrade with Rust Binder, Alice encountered [1] a
build failure caused by `bindgen` not translating some symbols related to
tracepoints. This was caused by commit 2e770edd8ce1 ("[libclang] Compute
the right spelling location") changing the behavior of a function exposed
by `libclang`. `bindgen` fixed the regression in commit 600f63895f73
("Use clang_getFileLocation instead of clang_getSpellingLocation").
However, the regression fix is only available in `bindgen` versions
0.69.5 or later (it was backported for 0.69.x). This means that when
older bindgen versions are used with new versions of `libclang`, `bindgen`
may do the wrong thing, which could lead to a build failure.
Alice encountered the bug with some header files related to tracepoints,
but it could also cause build failures in other circumstances. Thus,
always emit a warning when using an old `bindgen` with a new `libclang`
so that other people do not have to spend time chasing down the same
bug.
However, testing just the version is inconvenient, since distributions
do patch their packages without changing the version, so I reduced the
issue into the following piece of code that can trigger the issue:
#define F(x) int x##x
F(foo);
In particular, an unpatched `bindgen` will ignore the macro expansion
and thus not provide a declaration for the exported `int`.
Thus add a build test to `rust_is_available.sh` using the code above
(that is only triggered if the versions appear to be affected), following
what we did for the 0.66.x issue.
Moreover, I checked the status in the major distributions we have
instructions for:
- Fedora 41 was affected but is now OK, since it now ships `bindgen`
0.69.5.
Thanks Ben for the quick reply on the updates that were ongoing.
Fedora 40 and earlier are OK (older `libclang`, and they also now
carry `bindgen` 0.69.5).
- Debian Sid was affected but is now OK, since they now ship a patched
`bindgen` binary (0.66.1-7+b3). The issue was reported to Debian by
email and then as a bug report [2].
Thanks NoisyCoil and Matthias for the quick replies. NoisyCoil handled
the needed updates. Debian may upgrade to `bindgen` 0.70.x, too.
Debian Testing is OK (older `libclang` so far).
- Ubuntu non-LTS (oracular) is affected. The issue was reported to Ubuntu
by email and then as a bug report [3].
Ubuntu LTS is not affected (older `libclang` so far).
- Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux and openSUSE should be OK (newer `bindgen` is
provided). Nix as well (older `libclang` so far).
This issue was also added to our "live list" that tracks issues around
distributions [4].

Pass the value of make's -j/--jobs argument to pahole, to avoid out of
memory errors and make pahole respect the "jobs" value of make.
On systems with little memory but many cores, invoking pahole using -j
without argument potentially creates too many pahole instances,
causing an out-of-memory situation. Instead, we should pass make's
"jobs" value as an argument to pahole's -j, which is likely configured
to be (much) lower than the actual core count on such systems.
If make was invoked without -j, either via cmdline or MAKEFLAGS, then

When a module gets unloaded there is a possibility that some of the
allocations it made are still used and therefore the allocation tags
corresponding to these allocations are still referenced. As such, the
memory for these tags can't be freed. This is currently handled as an
abnormal situation and module's data section is not being unloaded. To
handle this situation without keeping module's data in memory, allow
codetags with longer lifespan than the module to be loaded into their own
separate memory. The in-use memory areas and gaps after module unloading
in this separate memory are tracked using maple trees. Allocation tags
arrange their separate memory so that it is virtually contiguous and that
will allow simple allocation tag indexing later on in this patchset. The
size of this virtually contiguous memory is set to store up to 100000
allocation tags.

Add the four syscalls setxattrat(), getxattrat(), listxattrat() and
removexattrat(). Those can be used to operate on extended attributes,
especially security related ones, either relative to a pinned directory
or on a file descriptor without read access, avoiding a
/proc/<pid>/fd/<fd> detour, requiring a mounted procfs.
One use case will be setfiles(8) setting SELinux file contexts
("security.selinux") without race conditions and without a file
descriptor opened with read access requiring SELinux read permission.
Use the do_{name}at() pattern from fs/open.c.
Pass the value of the extended attribute, its length, and for
setxattrat(2) the command (XATTR_CREATE or XATTR_REPLACE) via an added
struct xattr_args to not exceed six syscall arguments and not
merging the AT_* and XATTR_* flags.
[AV: fixes by Christian Brauner folded in, the entire thing rebased on
top of {filename,file}_...xattr() primitives, treatment of empty
pathnames regularized. As the result, AT_EMPTY_PATH+NULL handling
is cheap, so f...(2) can use it]

Add the build support for using Clang's AutoFDO. Building the kernel
with AutoFDO does not reduce the optimization level from the
compiler. AutoFDO uses hardware sampling to gather information about
the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary.
This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization
decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. Experiments
showed that the kernel can improve up to 10% in latency.
The support requires a Clang compiler after LLVM 17. This submission
is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on
Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Support for SPE on ARM 1,
and BRBE on ARM 1 is part of planned future work.
Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel:
1) Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled, for example,
$ make menuconfig LLVM=1
Turn on AutoFDO build config:
CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
With a configuration that has LLVM enabled, use the following
command:
scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG
After getting the config, build with
$ make LLVM=1
2) Install the kernel on the test machine.
3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number,
like 500009, for this purpose.
For Intel platforms:
$ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
-o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
For AMD platforms:
The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
For Zen3:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
For Zen4:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
$ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
-N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.
5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available:
create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part
of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub
(https://github.com/google/autofdo), version v0.30.1 or later. The
llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's
important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to
match the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release or
later, or from the LLVM trunk.
$ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> \
-o <profile_file>
or
$ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
--format=extbinary --out=<profile_file>
Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via:
$ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file> <profile_1> ... <profile_n>
6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config
as step 1, (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled):
$ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file>

decode_stacktrace.sh adds a trailing space at the end of the decoded stack
if the module is not set (in most of the lines), which makes the some
lines of the stack having trailing space and some others not.
Do not add an extra space at the end of the line if module is not set,
adding consistency in output formatting.

When the ESC key is pressed, the parentSelected() signal is currently
emitted for singleMode, menuMode, and symbolMode.
However, parentSelected() signal is functional only for singleMode.
In menuMode, the signal is connected to the goBack() slot, but nothing
occurs because configList->rootEntry is always &rootmenu.
In symbolMode (in the right pane), the parentSelected() signal is not
connected to any slot.
This commit prevents the unnecessary emission of the parentSelected()
signal.
