There are 11 copies of arch/*/kernel/syscalls/Makefile that all implement
the same basic logic in a somewhat awkward way.
I tried out various ways of unifying the existing copies and ended up
with something that hooks into the logic for generating the redirections
to asm-generic headers. This gives a nicer syntax of being able to list
the generated files in $(syscall-y) inside of arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild
instead of both $(generated-y) in that place and also in another
Makefile.
The configuration for which syscall.tbl file to use and which ABIs to
enable is now done in arch/*/kernel/Makefile.syscalls. I have done
patches for all architectures and made sure that the new generic
rules implement a superset of all the architecture specific corner
cases.
ince the header file is not specific to asm-generic/*.h redirects
now, I ended up renaming the file to scripts/Makefile.asm-headers.

Since the header file stringpool.h was added in GCC 4.9 and the kernel

Including the header file only once removes the following warning
reported by make includecheck:

The asm-generic/unistd.h header still follows the old style of defining
system call numbers and the table. Most architectures got the new
syscall.tbl format as part of the y2038 conversion back in 2018, but
the newer architectures that share a single table never did.
I did a semi-automated conversion of the asm-generic/unistd.h contents
into a syscall.tbl format, using the ABI field to take care of all
the relevant differences that are encoded using #ifdef checks in the
existing header.
Conversion of the architectures is done one at a time in order to
be able to review or revert them as needed.

Rather than invoking a separate addr2line process for each address, invoke
a single addr2line coprocess, and pass each address to its stdin. Previous
work [0] applied a similar change to perf, leading to a ~60x speed-up [1].
If using an object file that is _not_ vmlinux, faddr2line passes a section
name argument to addr2line. Because we do not know until runtime which
section names will be passed to addr2line, we cannot apply this change to
non-vmlinux object files. Hence, it only applies to vmlinux.

sed is different on NixOS.
The shebang can't use the env command, otherwise the "sed -f" command
would be treated as a single argument. This can be solved with the -S

expr_trans_bool() performs an incorrect transformation.
[Test Code]
config MODULES
def_bool y

config A
def_bool y
select C if B != n
config B
def_tristate m
config C
tristate
[Result]
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_A=y
CONFIG_B=m
CONFIG_C=m
This output is incorrect because CONFIG_C=y is expected.
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst clearly explains the function
of the '!=' operator:
If the values of both symbols are equal, it returns 'n',
otherwise 'y'.
Therefore, the statement:
select C if B != n
should be equivalent to:
select C if y
Or, more simply:
select C
Hence, the symbol C should be selected by the value of A, which is 'y'.
However, expr_trans_bool() wrongly transforms it to:
select C if B
Therefore, the symbol C is selected by (A && B), which is 'm'.
The comment block of expr_trans_bool() correctly explains its intention:
* bool FOO!=n => FOO
^^^^
If FOO is bool, FOO!=n can be simplified into FOO. This is correct.
However, the actual code performs this transformation when FOO is
tristate:
if (e->left.sym->type == S_TRISTATE) {
^^^^^^^^^^
While it can be fixed to S_BOOLEAN, there is no point in doing so
because expr_tranform() already transforms FOO!=n to FOO when FOO is
bool. (see the "case E_UNEQUAL" part)
expr_trans_bool() is wrong and unnecessary.

The resulting vmlinux is correct, but it always requires an additional
linking step.
The symbols produced by kallsyms are excluded from kallsyms itself
because they were previously missing in step 1. With those symbols
excluded, the symbol lists matched between step 1 and step 2,
eliminating the need for step 3. Now, this has a negative effect.
Since 951bcae6c5, the PROVIDE() directives provide the fallback
definitions, which are not trimmed from the sysbol list in step 1
because ${kallsymso_prev} is empty at this point.
In step 2, ${kallsymso_prev} is set, and the kallsyms_* symbols are
trimmed from the symbol list.
Due to the table size difference between step 1 and step 2 (the former
is larger due to the presence of kallsyms_*), step 3 is triggered.
Now that the kallsyms_* symbols are always linked, let's stop omitting
them from kallsyms. This avoids unnecessary step 3.

The check for 'sym1 == sym2' is redundant here because it has already
been done a few lines above:
if (sym1 != sym2)
return NULL;

Currently, comparisons to 'm' or 'n' result in incorrect output.
[Test Code]
config MODULES
def_bool y
modules
config A
def_tristate m
config B
def_bool A > n
CONFIG_B is unset, while CONFIG_B=y is expected.
The reason for the issue is because Kconfig compares the tristate values
as strings.
Currently, the .type fields in the constant symbol definitions,
symbol_{yes,mod,no} are unspecified, i.e., S_UNKNOWN.
When expr_calc_value() evaluates 'A > n', it checks the types of 'A' and
'n' to determine how to compare them.
The left-hand side, 'A', is a tristate symbol with a value of 'm', which
corresponds to a numeric value of 1. (Internally, 'y', 'm', and 'n' are
represented as 2, 1, and 0, respectively.)
The right-hand side, 'n', has an unknown type, so it is treated as the
string "n" during the comparison.
expr_calc_value() compares two values numerically only when both can
have numeric values. Otherwise, they are compared as strings.
symbol numeric value ASCII code
-------------------------------------
y 2 0x79
m 1 0x6d
n 0 0x6e
'm' is greater than 'n' if compared numerically (since 1 is greater
than 0), but smaller than 'n' if compared as strings (since the ASCII
code 0x6d is smaller than 0x6e).
Specifying .type=S_TRISTATE for symbol_{yes,mod,no} fixes the above
test code.
Doing so, however, would cause a regression to the following test code.
[Test Code 2]
config MODULES
def_bool n
modules
config A
def_tristate n
config B
def_bool A = m
You would get CONFIG_B=y, while CONFIG_B should not be set.
The reason is because sym_get_string_value() turns 'm' into 'n' when the
module feature is disabled. Consequently, expr_calc_value() evaluates
'A = n' instead of 'A = m'. This oddity has been hidden because the type
of 'm' was previously S_UNKNOWN instead of S_TRISTATE.
sym_get_string_value() should not tweak the string because the tristate
value has already been correctly calculated. There is no reason to
return the string "n" where its tristate value is mod.
