51b563fc93 arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

8f7f5c9fc2 kbuild: set -fconserve-stack option for gcc 4.5
The upcomming gcc 4.5 has a new -fconserve-stack option that tells the

575543347b kbuild: save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernel
When building a kernel for a different architecture
kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and
CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line.

We use the asm symlink to detect if user forgets to
specify the correct ARCH value - but that symlink
is about to die. And we do now want to loose this check.

This patch save the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
in two files named:

    include/generated/kernel.arch
    include/generated/kernel.cross

The settings are saved during "make *config" time
and always read.

If user try to change the settings we error out.

This works both for plain builds and for O=...
builds.

So now you can do:
$ mkdir sparc64
$ make O=sparc64 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- defconfig
$ cd sparc64
$ make

Notice that you no longer need to tell kbuild
the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE when you type make
in the output directory.

Likewise for plain builds where you do not use O=...

caa27b66bd kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

  0f8e2d62fa
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

a3ca86aea5 Add '-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks' to gcc CFLAGS
Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away
some "useless" checks for null pointers.  Such bugs can sometimes become
exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html

An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672.

 static void __devexit agnx_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev)
 {
     struct ieee80211_hw *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev);
-    struct agnx_priv *priv = dev->priv;
+    struct agnx_priv *priv;
     AGNX_TRACE;

     if (!dev)
         return;
+    priv = dev->priv;

By reverting this patch, and compile it with and without
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag, we can see that the check for dev
is compiled away.

    call    printk  #
-   testq   %r12, %r12  # dev
-   je  .L94    #,
    movq    %r12, %rdi  # dev,

Clearly the 'fix' is to stop using dev before it is tested, but building
with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag at least makes it harder to
abuse.

a137802ee8 Don't use '-fwrapv' compiler option: it's buggy in gcc-4.1.x
This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain
broken gcc versions.

This fixes kernel bugzilla entry:
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012

I suspect the gcc problem is this:
	http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230

Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.

a8735821d1 Kbuild: Disable the -Wformat-security gcc flag
Some distributions have enabled the gcc flag -Wformat-security by default.
This results in a number of warnings about format arguments to functions,
sometimes in cases where fixing the warning is not likely to actually fix a
bug.  Instead of hand patching a dozens of places (possibly more) that produce
warnings that get ignored anyway we just turn off the flag in the Makefile.

2521f2c228 gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

b8b0618cf6 kbuild: remove extra ifdef/endif of top Makefile
The GNU make's origin function know undefined variable well,
so the outer ifdef/endif conditional checking is unneeded.

From `info make` documentation, origin will return

  `undefined'
     if VARIABLE was never defined.
  `command line'
     if VARIABLE was defined on the command line.
   ...

Therefore, $(origin V) will get a value anyway, killing ifdef/endif is
viable and safe.

Furthermore, I've checked the minimal requirements from
Documentation/Changes is GNU make 3.79.1, and that version of GNU make
has support of origin function well already, so now it's safe to kill
the outer conditional checking, without upgrading the minimal
requirements.

Linus suggested to spell it out.

This patch implement support for

    include/generated

All files in include/generated are ignored by git.
include/generated is removed during "make mrproper".

With this we are ready to implement support for include/generated
in the various architctures and in the base kernel.

5d7d18f5bc kbuild: make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux
Make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux as
they cause vmlinux to balloon when CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and they cause
dump_stack() and get_wchan() to produce useless information under some
circumstances.

With this we add a config option (CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS) that will cause
the build to supply -X to the linker to tell it to strip temporary local
symbols.

This doesn't seem to cause gdb any problems.

3cc000b583 sh: Plug in support for ARCH=sh64 using sh SRCARCH.
This adds in support for building with ARCH=sh64 using the sh SRCARCH.
This tidies up the randconfig generation somewhat to make sure that we
don't end up with impossible configurations, and without having to rely
on things like KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG to detect the proper CPU support subset.

003086497f Build with -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm
With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't
previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to.  Certain
architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation
formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading.

While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the
previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

(This was reported against Fedora, which appears to be the only distro
doing any building against gcc-4.4 at present: RH bz#486545.)

d0115552cd Move cc-option to below arch-specific setup
Sam Ravnborg says:
 "We have several architectures that plays strange games with $(CC) and
  $(CROSS_COMPILE).

  So we need to postpone any use of $(call cc-option..) until we have
  included the arch specific Makefile so we try with the correct $(CC)
  version."

68df3755e3 Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGS
This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping
arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie
things like

	if (ptr + offset < ptr)

which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597

for details.

Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional
(it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).
