Building with clang-14 fails with:

AS      arch/mips/kernel/relocate_kernel.o
&lt;unknown&gt;:0: error: symbol 'kexec_args' is already defined
&lt;unknown&gt;:0: error: symbol 'secondary_kexec_args' is already defined

&lt;unknown&gt;:0: error: symbol 'kexec_indirection_page' is already defined
&lt;unknown&gt;:0: error: symbol 'relocate_new_kernel_size' is already defined

It turns out EXPORT defined in asm/asm.h expands to a symbol definition,
so there is no need to define these symbols again. Remove duplicated
symbol definitions.

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:

 - Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)

 - cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)

   This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
   allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
   at compile-time.

 - optimize find_bit() functions (me)

   Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
   macros.

 - add find_nth_bit() (me)

   Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
   for_each() loop:

	for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
		if (n-- == 0)
			return bit;

   Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:

	tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
	bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
	weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
	bitmap_free(tmp);

   with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.

 - repair cpumask_check() (me)

   After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
   generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.

 - Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
   Schneider)

   Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

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.

<id>urn:sha1:3216484550610470013b7ce1c9ed272da0a74589</id>
<content type='text'>
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

<content type='text'>
Nearly all other firmware environments have some way of passing a RNG
seed to initialize the RNG: DTB's rng-seed, EFI's RNG protocol, m68k's
bootinfo block, x86's setup_data, and so forth. This adds something
similar for MIPS, which will allow various firmware environments,
bootloaders, and hypervisors to pass an RNG seed to initialize the
kernel's RNG.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.
