Anbernic RG-DS AW87391 Speaker AmpsMerge series from Chris Morgan :Add support for the Anbernic RG-DS Speaker Amplifiers. The AnbernicRG-DS uses two AW87391 ICs at 0x58 and 0x5B on i2c2. However, themanufacturer did not provide a firmware file, only a sequence ofregister writes to each device to enable and disable them.Add support for this *specific* configuration in the AW87390 driver.Since we are relying on a device specific sequence I am using adevice specific compatible string. This driver does not currentlysupport the aw87391 for any other device as I have none to testwith valid firmware. Attempts to create firmware with the AwinicSCPv4have not been successful.

522397d05e7d4a7c30b91841492360336b24f833 - resolve_btfids: Change in-place update with raw binary output

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 19:18:25 +0100

resolve_btfids: Change in-place update with raw binary outputCurrently resolve_btfids updates .BTF_ids section of an ELF filein-place, based on the contents of provided BTF, usually within thesame input file, and optionally a BTF base.Change resolve_btfids behavior to enable BTF transformations as partof its main operation. To achieve this, in-place ELF write inresolve_btfids is replaced with generation of the following binaries: * ${1}.BTF with .BTF section data * ${1}.BTF_ids with .BTF_ids section data if it existed in ${1} * ${1}.BTF.base with .BTF.base section data for out-of-tree modulesThe execution of resolve_btfids and consumption of its output isorchestrated by scripts/gen-btf.sh introduced in this patch.The motivation for emitting binary data is that it allows simplifyingresolve_btfids implementation by delegating ELF update to the $OBJCOPYtool [1], which is already widely used across the codebase.There are two distinct paths for BTF generation and resolve_btfidsapplication in the kernel build: for vmlinux and for kernel modules.For the vmlinux binary a .BTF section is added in a roundabout way toensure correct linking. The patch doesn't change this approach, onlythe implementation is a little different.Before this patch it worked as follows: * pahole consumed .tmp_vmlinux1 [2] and added .BTF section with llvm-objcopy [3] to it * then everything except the .BTF section was stripped from .tmp_vmlinux1 into a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object [2], later linked into vmlinux * resolve_btfids was executed later on vmlinux.unstripped [4], updating it in-placeAfter this patch gen-btf.sh implements the following: * pahole consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and produces a *detached* file with raw BTF data * resolve_btfids consumes .tmp_vmlinux1 and detached BTF to produce (potentially modified) .BTF, and .BTF_ids sections data * a .tmp_vmlinux1.bpf.o object is then produced with objcopy copying BTF output of resolve_btfids * .BTF_ids data gets embedded into vmlinux.unstripped in link-vmlinux.sh by objcopy --update-sectionFor kernel modules, creating a special .bpf.o file is not necessary,and so embedding of sections data produced by resolve_btfids isstraightforward with objcopy.With this patch an ELF file becomes effectively read-only withinresolve_btfids, which allows deleting elf_update() call and satellitecode (like compressed_section_fix [5]).Endianness handling of .BTF_ids data is also changed. Previously the"flags" part of the section was bswapped in sets_patch() [6], and thenElf_Type was modified before elf_update() to signal to libelf thatbswap may be necessary. With this patch we explicitly bswap entiredata buffer on load and on dump.[1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/131b4190-9c49-4f79-a99d-c00fac97fa44@linux.dev/[2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh?h=v6.18#n110[3] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/tree/btf_encoder.c?h=v1.31#n1803[4] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh?h=v6.18#n284[5] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20200819092342.259004-1-jolsa@kernel.org/[6] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1707223196.git.vmalik@redhat.com/Signed-off-by: Ihor Solodrai Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Tested-by: Alan Maguire Acked-by: Eduard Zingerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20251219181825.1289460-3-ihor.solodrai@linux.dev List of files: /linux/scripts/Makefile.vmlinux

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 07:37:51 +0100

kbuild: Fix permissions of modules.builtin.modinfoCurrently, modules.builtin.modinfo is created with executable permissions(0755). This is because after commit 39cfd5b12160 ("kbuild: extractmodules.builtin.modinfo from vmlinux.unstripped"), modules.builtin.modinfois extracted from vmlinux.unstripped using objcopy. When extractingsections, objcopy inherits attributes from the source ELF file.Since modules.builtin.modinfo is a data file and not an executable,it should have regular file permissions (0644). The executable bitcan trigger warnings in Debian's Lintian tool.Explicitly remove the executable bit after generation.Fixes: 39cfd5b12160 ("kbuild: extract modules.builtin.modinfo from vmlinux.unstripped")Signed-off-by: Ethan Zuo Link: https://patch.msgid.link/SY0P300MB0609F6916B24ADF65502940B9C91A@SY0P300MB0609.AUSP300.PROD.OUTLOOK.COMSigned-off-by: Nicolas Schier List of files: /linux/scripts/Makefile.vmlinux
