few touchups to the recently added Kexec Handover feature.
- The 10 patch series "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all
arches" from Lorenzo Stoakes turns mm_struct.flags into a bitmap. To
end the constant struggle with space shortage on 32-bit conflicting with
64-bit's needs.

cleans up some swap code.
- The 7 patch series "selftests/mm: Fix false positives and skip
unsupported tests" from Donet Tom fixes a few things in our selftests
code.

THPs when advised" from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes
to opt-out of THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other
workloads on the system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations.
- The 11 patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox
gets us started on the memdesc project. Please see
https://kernelnewbies.org/MatthewWilcox/Memdescs and
https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/introducing-memdesc.

permits btrfs to account its metadata pages to the root cgroup, rather
than to the cgroups of random inappropriate tasks.
- The 2 patch series "mm/pageblock: improve readability of some
pageblock handling" from Wei Yang provides some readability improvements
to the page allocator code.
- The 11 patch series "mm/damon: support ARM32 with LPAE" from SeongJae
Park teaches DAMON to understand arm32 highmem.

arch-specific implementations" from Sabyrzhan Tasbolatov moves KASAN
arch-specific initialization code into a common arch-neutral
implementation.

zspool - an indirection layer which now only redirects to a single thing
(zsmalloc).
- The 2 patch series "mm: task_stack: Stack handling cleanups" from
Pasha Tatashin makes a couple of cleanups in the fork code.
- The 37 patch series "mm: remove nth_page()" from David Hildenbrand
makes rather a lot of adjustments at various nth_page() callsites,
eventually permitting the removal of that undesirable helper function.
- The 2 patch series "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from
Yeoreum Yun creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that
architecture's memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode

from Kefeng Wang does some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code.
- The 12 patch series "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer
parameters" from Max Kellermann makes quite a number of the MM API
functions more accurate about the constness of their arguments. This
was getting in the way of subsystems (in this case CEPH) when they
attempt to improving their own const/non-const accuracy.
- The 7 patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse" from Vishal Moola
fixes a number of code sites which were confused over when to use
free_pages() vs __free_pages().

split_pte_mapped_thp improvements" from David Hildenbrand adds a fix and
some cleanups to the thp selftesting code.
- The 14 patch series "mm, swap: introduce swap table as swap cache
(phase I)" from Chris Li and Kairui Song is the first step along the
path to implementing "swap tables" - a new approach to swap allocation
and state tracking which is expected to yield speed and space
improvements. This patchset itself yields a 5-20% performance benefit
in some situations.
- The 3 patch series "Some ptdesc cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox utilizes
the new memdesc layer to clean up the ptdesc code a little.
- The 3 patch series "Fix va_high_addr_switch.sh test failure" from
Chunyu Hu fixes some issues in our 5-level pagetable selftesting code.
- The 2 patch series "Minor fixes for memory allocation profiling" from
Suren Baghdasaryan addresses a couple of minor issues in relatively new
memory allocation profiling feature.
- The 3 patch series "Small cleanups" from Matthew Wilcox has a few
cleanups in preparation for more memdesc work.

DAMON_RECLAIM" from Quanmin Yan makes some changes to DAMON in
furtherance of supporting arm highmem.
- The 2 patch series "selftests/mm: Add -Wunreachable-code and fix
warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.
- The 10 patch series "Improvements to Victim Process Thawing and OOM
Reaper Traversal Order" from zhongjinji makes a number of improvements
in the OOM killer: mainly thawing a more appropriate group of victim
threads so they can release resources.
- The 5 patch series "mm/damon: misc fixups and improvements for 6.18"
from SeongJae Park is a bunch of small and unrelated fixups for DAMON.
- The 7 patch series "mm/damon: define and use DAMON initialization
check function" from SeongJae Park implement reliability and
maintainability improvements to a recently-added bug fix.
- The 2 patch series "mm/damon/stat: expose auto-tuned intervals and
non-idle ages" from SeongJae Park provides additional transparency to
userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
- The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
an anon vma.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.
- The 2 patch series "mm/ksm: Fix incorrect accounting of KSM counters
during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these
counters.
- The 2 patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry" from Wei
Yang addresses some potential but presently benign issues in KSM's
mm_slot handling.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the

WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
system_wq is a per-CPU worqueue (replaced by system_percpu_wq), but the
current code does not benefit from it. Because of that, system_wq has been
replaced by system_dfl_wq, the new unbound workqueue.

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.
For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.
In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".
And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

Alexey Gladkov says:
The modules.builtin.modinfo file is used by userspace (kmod to be specific) to
get information about builtin modules. Among other information about the module,
information about module aliases is stored. This is very important to determine
that a particular modalias will be handled by a module that is inside the
kernel.
There are several mechanisms for creating modalias for modules:
The first is to explicitly specify the MODULE_ALIAS of the macro. In this case,
the aliases go into the '.modinfo' section of the module if it is compiled
separately or into vmlinux.o if it is builtin into the kernel.
The second is the use of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE followed by the use of the
modpost utility. In this case, vmlinux.o no longer has this information and
does not get it into modules.builtin.modinfo.
For example:
$ modinfo pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30
modinfo: ERROR: Module pci:v00008086d0000A36Dsv00001043sd00008694bc0Csc03i30 not found.
$ modinfo xhci_pci
name: xhci_pci
filename: (builtin)
license: GPL
file: drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci
description: xHCI PCI Host Controller Driver
The builtin module is missing alias "pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc0Csc03i30*" which will be
generated by modpost if the module is built separately.
To fix this it is necessary to add the generated by modpost modalias to
modules.builtin.modinfo. Fortunately modpost already generates .vmlinux.export.c
for exported symbols. It is possible to add `.modinfo` for builtin modules and
modify the build system so that `.modinfo` section is extracted from the
intermediate vmlinux after modpost is executed.

In the upcoming changes, the ELF_DETAILS macro will be extended with
the ".modinfo" section, which will cause an error:
>> s390x-linux-ld: .tmp_vmlinux1: warning: allocated section `.modinfo' not in segment
>> s390x-linux-ld: .tmp_vmlinux2: warning: allocated section `.modinfo' not in segment
>> s390x-linux-ld: vmlinux.unstripped: warning: allocated section `.modinfo' not in segment
This happens because the .vmlinux.info use :NONE to override the default
segment and tell the linker to not put the section in any segment at all.
To avoid this, we need to change the sections order that will be placed
in the default segment.

Patch series "Add and use memdesc_flags_t".
At some point struct page will be separated from struct slab and struct
folio. This is a step towards that by introducing a type for the 'flags'
word of all three structures. This gives us a certain amount of type
safety by establishing that some of these unsigned longs are different
from other unsigned longs in that they contain things like node ID,
section number and zone number in the upper bits. That lets us have
functions that can be easily called by anyone who has a slab, folio or
page (but not easily by anyone else) to get the node or zone.
There's going to be some unusual merge problems with this as some odd bits
of the kernel decide they want to print out the flags value or something
similar by writing page->flags and now they'll need to write page->flags.f
instead. That's most of the churn here. Maybe we should be removing
these things from the debug output?
This patch (of 11):
Wrap the unsigned long flags in a typedef. In upcoming patches, this will
provide a strong hint that you can't just pass a random unsigned long to
functions which take this as an argument.

The kexec_buf structure was previously declared without initialization.
commit bf454ec31a ("kexec_file: allow to place kexec_buf randomly")
added a field that is always read but not consistently populated by all
architectures. This un-initialized field will contain garbage.
This is also triggering a UBSAN warning when the uninitialized data was
accessed:
------------[ cut here ]------------
UBSAN: invalid-load in ./include/linux/kexec.h:210:10
load of value 252 is not a valid value for type '_Bool'
Zero-initializing kexec_buf at declaration ensures all fields are
cleanly set, preventing future instances of uninitialized memory being
used.

Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during
their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to
the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of
the highest NUMA domain.
tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the
global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is
set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains()
calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane().
Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from
build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips
when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps.
Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of
it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level"
object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future.
sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of
relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into
sched_domains_numa_masks[].
The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology
reported by Leon:
$ sudo numactl -H

node 0 cpus: 0 1
node 0 size: 2927 MB

With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd3 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.
While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.
Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

- Enable THP swapping and THP migration
- Unmask SLCF bit ("stateless command filtering") introduced with CEX8
cards, so that user space applications like lszcrypt could evaluate
and list this feature
- Fix the value of high_memory variable, so it considers possible
tailing offline memory blocks
- Make vmem_pte_alloc() consistent and always allocate memory of
PAGE_SIZE for page tables. This ensures a page table occupies the
whole page, as the rest of the code assumes

- The 2 patch series "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references" from
Matthew Wilcox gets us closer to being able to remove page->mapping.
- The 5 patch series "relayfs: misc changes" from Jason Xing does some
maintenance and minor feature addition work in relayfs.
- The 5 patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA" from Jiri
Bohac switches us from static preallocation of the kdump crashkernel's
working memory over to dynamic allocation. So the difficulty of
a-priori estimation of the second kernel's needs is removed and the
first kernel obtains extra memory.
- The 5 patch series "generalize panic_print's dump function to be used
by other kernel parts" from Feng Tang implements some consolidation and
rationalizatio of the various ways in which a faiing kernel splats
information at the operator.

The value of high_memory variable is set by set_high_memory() function
to a value returned by memblock_end_of_DRAM(). The latter function
returns by default the upper bound of the last online memory block,
not the upper bound of the directly mapped memory region. As result,
in case the end of memory happens to be offline, high_memory variable
is set to a value that is short on the last offline memory blocks size:
RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK
0x0000000000000000-0x000000ffffffffff 1T online yes 0-511
0x0000010000000000-0x0000011fffffffff 128G offline 512-575
Memory block size: 2G
Total online memory: 1T
Total offline memory: 128G
crash> p/x vm_layout
$1 = {
kaslr_offset = 0x3453e918000,
kaslr_offset_phys = 0xa534218000,
identity_base = 0x0,
identity_size = 0x12000000000
}
crash> p/x high_memory
$2 = 0x10000000000
In the past the value of high_memory was derived from max_low_pfn,
which in turn was derived from the identity_size. Since identity_size
accommodates the whole memory size - including tailing offline blocks,
the offlined blocks did not impose any problem. But since commit
e120d1bc12 ("arch, mm: set high_memory in free_area_init()") the
value of high_memory is derived from the last memblock online region,
and that is where the problem comes from.
The value of high_memory is used by several drivers and by external
tools (e.g. crash tool aborts while loading a dump).
Similarily to ARM, use the override path provided by set_high_memory()
function and set the value of high_memory at the end of the identity
mapping early. That forces set_high_memory() to leave in high_memory
the correct value, even when the end of available memory is offline.
Fixes: e120d1bc12 ("arch, mm: set high_memory in free_area_init()")

around 200 #ifdef/[#else]/#endif blocks from the

In preparation for adding Clang sanitizer coverage stack depth tracking
that can support stack depth callbacks:
- Add the new top-level CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE option which will be
implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,
since that's the only place it is referenced from.

Patch series "kdump: crashkernel reservation from CMA", v5.
This series implements a way to reserve additional crash kernel memory
using CMA.
Currently, all the memory for the crash kernel is not usable by the 1st
(production) kernel. It is also unmapped so that it can't be corrupted by
the fault that will eventually trigger the crash. This makes sense for
the memory actually used by the kexec-loaded crash kernel image and initrd
and the data prepared during the load (vmcoreinfo, ...). However, the
reserved space needs to be much larger than that to provide enough
run-time memory for the crash kernel and the kdump userspace. Estimating
the amount of memory to reserve is difficult. Being too careful makes
kdump likely to end in OOM, being too generous takes even more memory from
the production system. Also, the reservation only allows reserving a
single contiguous block (or two with the "low" suffix). I've seen systems
where this fails because the physical memory is fragmented.
By reserving additional crashkernel memory from CMA, the main crashkernel
reservation can be just large enough to fit the kernel and initrd image,
minimizing the memory taken away from the production system. Most of the
run-time memory for the crash kernel will be memory previously available
to userspace in the production system. As this memory is no longer
wasted, the reservation can be done with a generous margin, making kdump
more reliable. Kernel memory that we need to preserve for dumping is
normally not allocated from CMA, unless it is explicitly allocated as
movable. Currently this is only the case for memory ballooning and zswap.
Such movable memory will be missing from the vmcore. User data is
typically not dumped by makedumpfile. When dumping of user data is
intended this new CMA reservation cannot be used.
There are five patches in this series:
The first adds a new ",cma" suffix to the recenly introduced generic
crashkernel parsing code. parse_crashkernel() takes one more argument to
store the cma reservation size.
The second patch implements reserve_crashkernel_cma() which performs the
reservation. If the requested size is not available in a single range,
multiple smaller ranges will be reserved.
The third patch updates Documentation/, explicitly mentioning the
potential DMA corruption of the CMA-reserved memory.
The fourth patch adds a short delay before booting the kdump kernel,
allowing pending DMA transfers to finish.
The fifth patch enables the functionality for x86 as a proof of
concept. There are just three things every arch needs to do:
- call reserve_crashkernel_cma()
- include the CMA-reserved ranges in the physical memory map
- exclude the CMA-reserved ranges from the memory available
through /proc/vmcore by excluding them from the vmcoreinfo
PT_LOAD ranges.
Adding other architectures is easy and I can do that as soon as this
series is merged.
With this series applied, specifying
crashkernel=100M craskhernel=1G,cma
on the command line will make a standard crashkernel reservation
of 100M, where kexec will load the kernel and initrd.
An additional 1G will be reserved from CMA, still usable by the production
system. The crash kernel will have 1.1G memory available. The 100M can
be reliably predicted based on the size of the kernel and initrd.
The new cma suffix is completely optional. When no
crashkernel=size,cma is specified, everything works as before.
This patch (of 5):
Add a new cma_size parameter to parse_crashkernel(). When not NULL, call
__parse_crashkernel to parse the CMA reservation size from
"crashkernel=size,cma" and store it in cma_size.
Set cma_size to NULL in all calls to parse_crashkernel().

When an stp sync check is handled on a system with multiple
cpus each cpu gets a machine check but only the first one
actually handles the sync operation. All other CPUs spin
waiting for the first one to finish with a short udelay().
But udelay can't be used here as the first CPU modifies tod_clock_base
before performing the sync op. During this timeframe
get_tod_clock_monotonic() might return a non-monotonic time.
The time spent waiting should be very short and udelay is a busy loop
anyways, therefore simply remove the udelay.

In case of an early crash the early program check handler also prints the
last breaking event address which is contained within the pt_regs
structure. However it is not initialized, and therefore a more or less
random value is printed in case of a crash.
Copy the last breaking event address from lowcore to pt_regs in case of an
early program check to address this. This also makes it easier to analyze
early crashes.

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.
This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.
This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.

pcpu_ec_call() uses either the external call or emergency signal order
code to signal (aka send an IPI) to a remote CPU. If the remote CPU is
not running the emergency signal order is used.
Measurements show that always using the external order code is at least
as good, and sometimes even better, than the existing code.
Therefore remove emergency signal order code usage from pcpu_ec_call().

Heiko Carstens says:
===================
A rather large series which is supposed to fix the crash below[1], which was
seen when running the memop kernel kvm selftest.
Problem is that cmpxchg_user_key() is executing code with a non-default
key. If a system is IPL'ed with "LOAD NORMAL", and in addition the previous
system used storage keys where the fetch-protection bit is set for some pages,
and the cmpxchg_user_key() is located within such page a protection exception
will happen when executing such code.
Idea of this series is to register all code locations running with a
non-default key at compile time. All functions, which run with a non-default
key, then must explicitly call an init function which initializes the storage
key of all pages containing such code locations with default key, which
prevents such protection exceptions.
Furthermore all functions containing code which may be executed with a
non-default access key must be marked with __kprobes to prevent out-of-line
execution of any instruction of such functions, which would result in the same
problem.
By default the kernel will not issue any storage key changing instructions
like before, which will preserve the keyless-subset mode optimizations in
hosts.
Other possible implementations which I discarded:
- Moving the code to an own section. This would require an s390 specific
change to modpost.c, which complains about section mismatches (EX_TABLE
entries in non-default text section). No other architecture has something
similar, so let's keep this architecture specific hack local.
- Just apply the default storage key to the whole kprobes text
section. However this would add special s390 semantics to the kprobes text
section, which no other architecture has. History has shown that such hacks
fire back sooner or later.
Furthermore, and to keep this whole stuff quite simple, this only works for
code locations in core kernel code, not within modules. After this series
there is no module code left with such code, and as of now I don't see any new
kernel code which runs with a non-default access key.
Note: the original crash can be reproduced by replacing
page_set_storage_key(real, PAGE_DEFAULT_KEY, 1);
with
page_set_storage_key(real, 8, 1);
in arch/s390/kernel/skey.c:__skey_regions_initialize()
And then run tools/testing/selftests/kvm/s390/memop from the kernel selftests.

The current assumption is that kernel code is always executed with access
key zero, which means that storage key protection does not apply.
However this assumption is not correct: cmpxchg_user_key() may be executed
with a non-zero key; if then the storage key of the page which belongs to
the cmpxchg_user_key() code contains a key with fetch-protection enabled
the result is a protection exception.
For several performance optimizations storage keys are not initialized on
system boot. To keep these optimizations add infrastructure which allows to
define code ranges within functions which are executed with a non-default
key. When such code is executed such functions must explicitly call
skey_regions_initialize().
This will initialize all storage keys belonging to such code ranges in a
way that no protection exceptions happen when the code is executed with a
non-default access key.

Merge tag 'kbuild-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- Add support for the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES() macro, which
exports a symbol only to specified modules
- Improve ABI handling in gendwarfksyms
- Forcibly link lib-y objects to vmlinux even if CONFIG_MODULES=n
- Add checkers for redundant or missing <linux/export.h> inclusion

- Fix a genksyms bug when including enum constants from *.symref files
* tag 'kbuild-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (28 commits)
genksyms: Fix enum consts from a reference affecting new values
arch: use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN) for vmlinux.lds
kbuild: set y instead of 1 to KBUILD_{BUILTIN,MODULES}
efi/libstub: use 'targets' instead of extra-y in Makefile
module: make __mod_device_table__* symbols static
scripts/misc-check: check unnecessary #include <linux/export.h> when W=1
scripts/misc-check: check missing #include <linux/export.h> when W=1
scripts/misc-check: add double-quotes to satisfy shellcheck
kbuild: move W=1 check for scripts/misc-check to top-level Makefile
scripts/tags.sh: allow to use alternative ctags implementation
kconfig: introduce menu type enum
docs: symbol-namespaces: fix reST warning with literal block
kbuild: link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly even when CONFIG_MODULES=n
tinyconfig: enable CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
docs/core-api/symbol-namespaces: drop table of contents and section numbering
modpost: check forbidden MODULE_IMPORT_NS("module:") at compile time
kbuild: move kbuild syntax processing to scripts/Makefile.build
Makefile: remove dependency on archscripts for header installation
Documentation/kbuild: Add new gendwarfksyms kABI rules
Documentation/kbuild: Drop section numbers
...
The extra-y syntax is deprecated. Instead, use always-$(KBUILD_BUILTIN),
which behaves equivalently.
