EXPORT_SYMBOL from assembly code produces an unused symbol __kcrctab_*.

kcrctab is used as a section name (prefixed with three underscores),
but never used as a symbol.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

For EXPORT_SYMBOL from C files, <linux/export.h> defines __ksymtab_*
as local symbols.

For EXPORT_SYMBOL from assembly, in contrast, <asm-generic/export.h>
produces globally-visible __ksymtab_* symbols due to this .globl
directive.

I do not know why this must be global. It still works without this.

This script copies headers by the cpio command twice; first from
srctree, and then from objtree. However, when we building in-tree,
we know the srctree and the objtree are the same. That is, all the
headers copied by the first cpio are overwritten by the second one.

Skip the first cpio when we are building in-tree.

This script computes md5sum of headers in srctree and in objtree.
However, when we are building in-tree, we know the srctree and the
objtree are the same. That is, we end up with the same computation
twice. In fact, the first two lines of kernel/kheaders.md5 are always
the same for in-tree builds.

Unify the two md5sum calculations.

For in-tree builds ($building_out_of_srctree is empty), we check
only two directories, "include", and "arch/$SRCARCH/include".

For out-of-tree builds ($building_out_of_srctree is 1), we check
4 directories, "$srctree/include", "$srctree/arch/$SRCARCH/include",
"include", and "arch/$SRCARCH/include" since we know they are all
different.

The 'head' and 'tail' commands can take a file path directly.
So, you do not need to run 'cat'.

  cat kernel/kheaders.md5 | head -1

... is equivalent to:

  head -1 kernel/kheaders.md5

and the latter saves forking one process.

While I was here, I replaced 'head -1' with 'head -n 1'.

I also replaced '==' with '=' since we do not have a good reason to
use the bashism.

Since commit 040fcc81 ("kbuild: improved modversioning support for
external modules"), the external module build reads Module.symvers in
the directory of the module itself, then dumps symbols back into it.
It accumulates stale symbols in the file when you build an external
module incrementally.

The idea behind it was, as the commit log explained, you can copy
Modules.symvers from one module to another when you need to pass symbol
information between two modules. However, the manual copy of the file
sounds questionable to me, and containing stale symbols is a downside.

Some time later, commit 0d96fb20 ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced a saner approach.

So, this commit removes the former one. Going forward, the external
module build dumps symbols into Module.symvers to be carried via
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, but never reads it automatically.

With the -I option removed, there is no one to set the external_module
flag unless KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS is passed. Now the -i option does it
instead.
Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

When building external modules, $(objtree)/Module.symvers is scanned
for symbol information of vmlinux and in-tree modules.

Additionally, vmlinux is parsed if it exists in $(objtree)/.
This is totally redundant since all the necessary information is
contained in $(objtree)/Module.symvers.

Do not parse vmlinux at all for external module builds. This makes
sense because vmlinux is deleted by 'make clean'.

'make clean' leaves all the build artifacts for building external
modules. vmlinux is unneeded for that.

The comment line "When building external modules ..." explains

The comment "they may be used when building the .mod.c file" is no

Prior to commit 54b8ae66 ("kbuild: change *FLAGS_<basetarget>.o

flags to source files with the same basename. Now that this issue
was solved, you can split util.c out of parser.y and compile them

====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The need_wakeup flag for Tx might not be set for AF_XDP sockets that
are only used to send packets. This happens if there is at least one
outstanding packet that has not been completed by the hardware and we
get that corresponding completion (which will not generate an
interrupt since interrupts are disabled in the napi poll loop) between
the time we stopped processing the Tx completions and interrupts are
enabled again. In this case, the need_wakeup flag will have been
cleared at the end of the Tx completion processing as we believe we
will get an interrupt from the outstanding completion at a later point
in time. But if this completion interrupt occurs before interrupts
are enable, we lose it and should at that point really have set the
need_wakeup flag since there are no more outstanding completions that
can generate an interrupt to continue the processing. When this
happens, user space will see a Tx queue need_wakeup of 0 and skip
issuing a syscall, which means will never get into the Tx processing
again and we have a deadlock.

This patch introduces a quick fix for this issue by just setting the
need_wakeup flag for Tx to 1 all the time. I am working on a proper
fix for this that will toggle the flag appropriately, but it is more
challenging than I anticipated and I am afraid that this patch will
not be completed before the merge window closes, therefore this easier
fix for now. This fix has a negative performance impact in the range
of 0% to 4%. Towards the higher end of the scale if you have driver
and application on the same core and issue a lot of packets, and
towards no negative impact if you use two cores, lower transmission
speeds and/or a workload that also receives packets.
