[PATCH v2 0/5] uapi: fix remaining kconfig leaks in UAPI headers

[PATCH v2 0/5] uapi: fix remaining kconfig leaks in UAPI headers

[Thomas Weißschuh]

A few UAPI headers still contained references to kconfig symbols.
Clean them all up and afterwards remove the now useless exception
machinery in headers_install.sh.

Intended to be routed through the kbuild tree.

Changes in v2:
- Drop ARC_HAS_SWAPE kconfig option, use ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
- Drop PSR_ENDSTATE from the ARM ptrace.h header.
- Drop nios2 uapi asm/swab.h.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251230-headers_install-config-leak-v1-0-efba5c58073d@linutronix.de

[PATCH v2 1/5] ARC: Always use SWAPE instructions and enable ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP

[Thomas Weißschuh]

Since commit 67a697e7576 ("ARC: retire ARC750 support") all supported
CPUs have the 'swape' instruction.

Replace the custom logic with ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP which makes
use of 'swape'.

As as side-effect, remove a leak of an internal kconfig symbol through
the UAPI headers.

[PATCH v2 2/5] ARM: uapi: Drop PSR_ENDSTATE

[Thomas Weißschuh]

The symbol PSR_ENDSTATE is pointless for userspace. Drop it from the
UAPI headers and instead inline it into the only two callers.

As as side-effect, remove a leak of an internal kconfig symbol through
the UAPI headers.

[PATCH v2 3/5] nios2: uapi: Remove custom asm/swab.h from UAPI

[Thomas Weißschuh]

UAPI headers are not supposed to leak references to kconfig symbols.
They are undefined there in any case. As all actual definitions of this
header are guarded behind a kconfig symbol, for userspace the header is
always identical to its asm-generic variant.

Make the custom UAPI header a kernel-internal one, so the leaks of
kconfig symbols are fixed and userspace will instead use
asm-generic/swab.h directly.

[PATCH v2 4/5] x86/uapi: Stop leaking kconfig references to userspace

[Thomas Weißschuh]

UAPI headers are not supposed to leak references to kconfig symbols.
These won't be set when building userspace. Hide the kconfig reference
behind 'if defined(__KERNEL__)', so it will be stripped by
headers_install.sh. The result for userspace will be the same, but the
exceptions in headers_install.sh can also be removed.

I would have preferred cleaning up the x86 auxvec.h header
more, but we can always do that later and your patch not
a regression.

Should I take the series through the asm-generic tree if there
are no other concerns, or do you have other plans for merging it?

Thanks!

I had the kbuild tree in mind, but asm-generic sounds equally good.
The asm-generic tree will also be a better fit for my follow-up auxvec.h
series. So let's use that.
