In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

calc_vmlinuz_load_addr.c requires SZ_64K to be defined for alignment
purposes. It included "../../../../include/linux/sizes.h" to define
that size, however "sizes.h" tries to include <linux/const.h> which
assumes linux system headers. These may not exist eg. the following
error was encountered when building Linux for OpenWrt under macOS:
In file included from arch/mips/boot/compressed/calc_vmlinuz_load_addr.c:16:
arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../include/linux/sizes.h:11:10: fatal error: 'linux/const.h' file not found

Change makefile to force building on local linux headers instead of
system headers. Also change eye-watering relative reference in include

For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally

In preparation for removing some of the MIPS compiler intrinsics from
arch/mips/lib, first update the build of vmlinuz to use the generic
ashldi3 from lib.
Both ashldi3 and bswapsi objects need to be built with different CFLAGS
for inclusion to vmlinuz rather than simply including the object built
for the main kernel image. The objects cannot be built directly from
source, since CONFIG_MODVERSIONS changes cmd_cc_o_c to prevent this.
Split the rule to ship ashldi3 and bswapsi from the relevant source
locations.
These files make no reference to other files in their directory, so the
additional CFLAGS are apparently unnecessary - remove them as well.

The make variables KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS both contain

This is harmless but pointless. So stop using $(LINUXINCLUDE) twice.

The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
- arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
defined by the platform) and passes it to
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
- arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
- arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
using nm.
Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.
The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

When building with -fstack-protector, gcc emits the __stack_chk_guard and
__stack_chk_fail symbols to check for stack stability. These symbols are
defined in vmlinux but the generated vmlinux.bin that is used to create
the compressed vmlinuz image has no symbol table so the linker can't find
these symbols during the final linking phase. As a result of which, we
need either to redefine these symbols just for the compressed image or drop
the -fstack-protector option when building the compressed image. This patch
implements the latter of two options.
Fixes the following linking problem:
dbg.c:(.text+0x7c): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0x80): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0xd4): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
dbg.c:(.text+0xec): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'
[ralf@linux-mips.org: I'm applying this before the patch that actually adds
stack protector support for MIPS. This means, it will not be possible
to trigger above error message with any commit from the tree but rather
they are what one would hit without this commit.]

POSIX requires $((<expression>)) arithmetic in sh only to have long
arithmetic so on 32-bit sh binaries might do only 32-bit arithmetic but
the arithmetic done in arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile needs 64-bit.
I play with the AR7 platform, so VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS is
0xffffffff94100000, and for an example 4MiB kernel
VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS is made out to be:
----
alex@berk:~$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
ffffffff94500000
alex@berk:~$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0xffffffff94100000 + 0x400000))'
80000000003fffff
----
The former is obviously correct whilst the later breaks things royally.
Fortunately working with only the lower 32bit's works for both bash and
dash:
----
$ bash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
94500000
$ dash -c 'printf "%x\n" $((0x94100000 + 0x400000))'
94500000
----
So, we can split the original 64bit string to two parts, and only
calculate the low 32bit part, which is big enough (1GiB kernel sizes
anyone?) for a normal Linux kernel image file, now, we calculate the
VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS like this:
1. if present, append top 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS" as a prefix
2. get the sum of the low 32bit of VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS + VMLINUX_SIZE
This patch fixes vmlinuz kernel builds on systems where only a
32bit-only math shell is available.
Patch Changelog:
Version 2
- simplified method by using 'expr' for 'substr' and making it work
with dash once again
Version 1
- Revert the removals of '-n "$(VMLINUX_SIZE)"' to avoid the error
of "make clean"
- Consider more cases of the VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS
