7cc395312a docs/howto: Replace abundoned URL of gmane.org
Somehow, there remains a link to gmane.org, which stopped working
in 2016, in howto.rst. Replace it with the one at lore.kernel.org.
Do the same changes under translations/ as well.

8afc66e8d4 Kbuild updates for v6.1
- 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.

 	  finally get this work done
 	- tty serial transmit cleanups in various drivers in preparation
 	  for more cleanup and unification in future releases (that work
 	  was not ready for this release.)
 	- n_gsm fixes and updates
 	- ktermios cleanups and code reductions
 	- dt bindings json conversions and updates for new devices
 	- some serial driver updates for new devices
 	- lots of other tiny cleanups and janitorial stuff.  Full

0715fdb03e docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.82
GNU Make 3.81 fails in CONFIG_RUST=y builds.

  rust/Makefile:105: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.
  make[1]: *** [prepare] Error 2
  make: *** [__sub-make] Error 2

The error message is unclear, but the reason is because the 'private'
keyword is only supported since GNU Make 3.82.

GNU Make 3.81 is still able to build the kernel when CONFIG_RUST is
disabled, but it might be a good timing to raise the minimal GNU Make
version. Perhaps, I am the last person who was testing GNU Make 3.81.

GNU Make 3.81 was released in 2006, GNU Make 3.82 in 2010.

Merge tag 'hardening-v6.1-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

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 54d9469bc5 ("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.

8aebac8293 Rust introduction for v6.1-rc1
The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
 
 - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
 
 - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
 
 - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
 
 - Rust kernel documentation and samples
 
 Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
 short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have contributed
 both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to
 support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people, and many more,

Merge tag 'rust-v6.1-rc1' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux

Pull Rust introductory support from Kees Cook:
 "The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next
  for a year and a half[1]. It's been updated based on feedback from the
  Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags.

  Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted.
  Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing
  practice once this initial infrastructure series lands.

  The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the
  kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1
  GPU[5]) on the way.

  The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:

   - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)

   - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)

   - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build

   - Rust kernel documentation and samples

  Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
  short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have
  contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream
  Rust side to support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people,
  and many more, who have been involved in all kinds of ways:

1cfd9d7e43 coding-style.rst: document BUG() and WARN() rules ("do not crash the kernel")
Linus notes [1] that the introduction of new code that uses VM_BUG_ON()
is just as bad as BUG_ON(), because it will crash the kernel on
distributions that enable CONFIG_DEBUG_VM (like Fedora):

    VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
    no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
    because these are less important". [2]

This resulted in a more generic discussion about usage of BUG() and
friends. While there might be corner cases that still deserve a BUG_ON(),
most BUG_ON() cases should simply use WARN_ON_ONCE() and implement a
recovery path if reasonable:

    The only possible case where BUG_ON can validly be used is "I have
    some fundamental data corruption and cannot possibly return an
    error". [2]

As a very good approximation is the general rule:

    "absolutely no new BUG_ON() calls _ever_" [2]

... not even if something really shouldn't ever happen and is merely for
documenting that an invariant always has to hold. However, there are sill
exceptions where BUG_ON() may be used:

    If you have a "this is major internal corruption, there's no way we can
    continue", then BUG_ON() is appropriate. [3]

There is only one good BUG_ON():

    Now, that said, there is one very valid sub-form of BUG_ON():
    BUILD_BUG_ON() is absolutely 100% fine. [2]

While WARN will also crash the machine with panic_on_warn set, that's
exactly to be expected:

    So we have two very different cases: the "virtual machine with good
    logging where a dead machine is fine" - use 'panic_on_warn'. And
    the actual real hardware with real drivers, running real loads by
    users. [4]

The basic idea is that warnings will similarly get reported by users
and be found during testing. However, in contrast to a BUG(), there is a
way to actually influence the expected behavior (e.g., panic_on_warn)
and to eventually keep the machine alive to extract some debug info.

Ingo notes that not all WARN_ON_ONCE cases need recovery. If we don't ever
expect this code to trigger in any case, recovery code is not really
helpful.

    I'd prefer to keep all these warnings 'simple' - i.e. no attempted
    recovery & control flow, unless we ever expect these to trigger.
    [5]

There have been different rules floating around that were never properly
documented. Let's try to clarify.

d07479b211 docs: add Rust documentation
Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.

However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.

It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

766c5a3ecb Documentation: remove nonexistent magic numbers
The entire file blames back to the start of git
(minus whitespace from the RST translation and a typo fix):
  * there are changelog comments for March 1994 through to Linux 2.5.74
  * struct tty_ldisc is two pointers nowadays, so naturally no magic
  * GDA_MAGIC is defined but unused, and it's been this way
    since start-of-git
  * M3_CARD_MAGIC isn't defined, because
    commit d56b9b9c46 ("[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS
    drivers") removed the entire driver in 2006
  * CS_CARD_MAGIC likewise since
    commit b5d425c97f ("more scheduled OSS driver removal") in 2007
  * KMALLOC_MAGIC and VMALLOC_MAGIC were removed in
    commit e38e0cfa48 ("[ALSA] Remove kmalloc wrappers"),
    six months after start of git
  * SLAB_C_MAGIC has never even appeared in git
    (removed in 2.4.0-test3pre6)

magic-number.rst is a low-value historial relic at best and
misleading cruft at worst, so start with cleaning out ones that only
appear therein

dfbafa70bd string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad()
One of the "legitimate" uses of strncpy() is copying a NUL-terminated
string into a fixed-size non-NUL-terminated character array. To avoid
the weaknesses and ambiguity of intent when using strncpy(), provide
replacement functions that explicitly distinguish between trailing
padding and not, and require the destination buffer size be discoverable
by the compiler.

For example:

struct obj {
	int foo;
	char small[4] __nonstring;
	char big[8] __nonstring;
	int bar;
};

struct obj p;

/* This will truncate to 4 chars with no trailing NUL */
strncpy(p.small, "hello", sizeof(p.small));
/* p.small contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l' */

/* This will NUL pad to 8 chars. */
strncpy(p.big, "hello", sizeof(p.big));
/* p.big contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0', '\0', '\0' */

When the "__nonstring" attributes are missing, the intent of the
programmer becomes ambiguous for whether the lack of a trailing NUL
in the p.small copy is a bug. Additionally, it's not clear whether
the trailing padding in the p.big copy is _needed_. Both cases
become unambiguous with:

strtomem(p.small, "hello");
strtomem_pad(p.big, "hello", 0);

See also https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90

Expand the memcpy KUnit tests to include these functions.

97024e159f maintainer-pgp-guide: use key terminology consistent with upstream
GnuPG does not use the word "master key" when referring to the subkey
marked with the "certification" capability. Our use of this term was not
only inconsistent, but also misleading, because in real life "master
keys" are able to open multiple locks made for different keys, while PGP
Certify key has no such capability.

668c3c237f sound updates for 6.0-rc1
As diffstat shows, we've had lots of developments in a wide range
 at this time; the majority of changes are about ASoC, including
 subsystem-wide cleanups, continued SOF / Intel updates and a
 bunch of new drivers (as usual), while there have been some
 significant (but almost invisible) improvements in ALSA core
 side, too.  Below are some highlights:
 
 Core:
 - Faster lookups of control elements with Xarray; normal user
   won't notice, but on the devices with tons of control elements,
   it can be visibly faster
 - Support for input validation for controls; this will harden
   for badly written drivers in general with a slight overhead
 - Deferred async signal handling for working around the potential
   deadlocks
 - Cleanup / refactoring raw MIDI locking code
 
 ASoC:
 - Restructing of the set_fmt() callbacks for making things clearer
   in situations like CODEC to CODEC links
 - Clean up and modernizing the DAI naming scheme setups
 - Merge of more of the Intel AVS driver stack, including some
   board integrations
 - New version 4 mechanism for communication with SOF DSPs
 - Suppoort for dynamically selecting the PLL to use at runtime on
   i.MX platforms
 - Improvements for CODEC to CODEC support in the generic cards
 - Support for AMD Jadeite and various machines, AMD RPL, Intel
   MetorLake DSPs, Mediatek MT8186 DSPs and MT6366, nVidia Tegra
   MDDRC, OPE and PEQ, NXP TFA9890, Qualcomm SDM845, WCD9335 and
   WAS883x, and Texas Instruments TAS2780
 
 HD- and USB-audio:
 - Continued improvement for CS35L41 (sub)codec support
 - More quirks for various devices (HP, Lenovo, Dell, Clevo)

aad26f55f4 This was a moderately busy cycle for documentation, but nothing all that
earth-shaking:
 
 - More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian translations.
   The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations are
   more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.
 
 - Some build-system performance improvements.
 
 - The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document, with the
   movement of what useful material that remained into other docs.
 
 - Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more useful
   suggestions.
 
 - A number of build-warning fixes

Merge tag 'docs-6.0' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This was a moderately busy cycle for documentation, but nothing
  all that earth-shaking:

   - More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian
     translations.

     The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations
     are more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.

   - Some build-system performance improvements.

   - The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document,
     with the movement of what useful material that remained into
     other docs.

   - Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more
     useful suggestions.

   - A number of build-warning fixes

  Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more"
