Masahiro Yamada 0da4fabdf4 kbuild: test --build-id linker flag by ld-option instead of cc-ldoption
'--build-id' is passed to $(LD), so it should be tested by 'ld-option'.

This seems a kind of misconversion when ld-option was renamed to
cc-ldoption.

Commit f86fd30660 ("kbuild: rename ld-option to cc-ldoption") renamed
all instances of 'ld-option' to 'cc-ldoption'.

Then, commit 691ef3e7fd ("kbuild: introduce ld-option") re-added
'ld-option' as a new implementation.

Luc Van Oostenryck 6c49f359ca kbuild: disable sparse warnings about unknown attributes
Currently, sparse issues warnings on code using an attribute
it doesn't know about.

One of the problem with this is that these warnings have no
value for the developer, it's just noise for him. At best these
warnings tell something about some deficiencies of sparse itself
but not about a potential problem with code analyzed.

A second problem with this is that sparse release are, alas,
less frequent than new attributes are added to GCC.

So, avoid the noise by asking sparse to not warn about
attributes it doesn't know about.

Ulf Magnusson 61277981dd Makefile: Fix lying comment re. silentoldconfig
The comment above the silentoldconfig invocation is outdated.
'make oldconfig' updates just .config and doesn't touch the
include/config/ tree.

This came up in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/2/12/415.

While fixing the comment, make it more informative by explaining the
purpose of the unfortunately named silentoldconfig.

I can't make sense of the comment re. auto.conf.cmd and a cleaned tree.
include/config/auto.conf and include/config/auto.conf.cmd are both
created simultaneously by silentoldconfig (in
scripts/kconfig/confdata.c, by conf_write_autoconf()), and nothing seems
to remove auto.conf.cmd that wouldn't remove auto.conf. Remove that part
of the comment rather than blindly copying it. It might be a leftover
from an older way of doing things.

The include/config/auto.conf.cmd prerequisite might be there to ensure
that silentoldconfig gets rerun if conf_write_autoconf() fails between
writing out auto.conf.cmd and auto.conf (a comment in the function
indicates that auto.conf is deliberately written out last to mark
completion of the operation). It seems the Makefile dependency between
include/config/auto.conf and .config would already take care of that
though, since include/config/auto.conf would still be out of date re.
.config if the operation fails.

Cop out and leave the prerequisite in for now.

 "Yet another pile of melted spectrum related changes:

     overengineered array_index_nospec_mask_check() magic and allow
     const-qualified types as index to avoid temporary storage in a
     non-const local variable.

   - make the microcode loader more robust by properly propagating error
     codes. Provide information about new feature bits after micro code
     was updated so administrators can act upon.

   - optimizations of the entry ASM code which reduce code footprint and
     make the code simpler and faster.

   - fix the {pmd,pud}_{set,clear}_flags() implementations to work
     properly on paravirt kernels by removing the address translation
     operations.

   - revert the harmful vmexit_fill_RSB() optimization

   - use IBRS around firmware calls

   - teach objtool about retpolines and add annotations for indirect
     jumps and calls.

   - explicitly disable jumplabel patching in __init code and handle
     patching failures properly instead of silently ignoring them.

   - remove indirect paravirt calls for writing the speculation control
     MSR as these calls are obviously proving the same attack vector
     which is tried to be mitigated.

Kees Cook 44c6dc940b Makefile: introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
Nearly all modern compilers support a stack-protector option, and nearly
all modern distributions enable the kernel stack-protector, so enabling
this by default in kernel builds would make sense.  However, Kconfig does
not have knowledge of available compiler features, so it isn't safe to
force on, as this would unconditionally break builds for the compilers or
architectures that don't have support.  Instead, this introduces a new
option, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO, which attempts to discover the best
possible stack-protector available, and will allow builds to proceed even
if the compiler doesn't support any stack-protector.

This option is made the default so that kernels built with modern
compilers will be protected-by-default against stack buffer overflows,
avoiding things like the recent BlueBorne attack.  Selection of a specific
stack-protector option remains available, including disabling it.

Additionally, tiny.config is adjusted to use CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, since
that's the option with the least code size (and it used to be the default,
so we have to explicitly choose it there now).

Kees Cook 2bc2f688fd Makefile: move stack-protector availability out of Kconfig
Various portions of the kernel, especially per-architecture pieces,
need to know if the compiler is building with the stack protector.
This was done in the arch/Kconfig with 'select', but this doesn't
allow a way to do auto-detected compiler support. In preparation for
creating an on-if-available default, move the logic for the definition of
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR into the Makefile.

Andrey Konovalov 0e410e158e kasan: don't emit builtin calls when sanitization is off
With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset).  KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required.  For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.

The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code.  They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.

The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.

Sodagudi Prasad 0a5f417674 kbuild: clang: disable unused variable warnings only when constant
Currently, GCC disables -Wunused-const-variable, but not
-Wunused-variable, so warns unused variables if they are
non-constant.

While, Clang does not warn unused variables at all regardless of
the const qualifier because -Wno-unused-const-variable is implied
by the stronger option -Wno-unused-variable.

Disable -Wunused-const-variable instead of -Wunused-variable so that
GCC and Clang work in the same way.

Linus Torvalds 562f36ed28 Kconfig updates for v4.16
A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates. I have to mention the lexer
 and parser of Kconfig are now built from real .l and .y sources.
 So, flex and bison are the requirement for building the kernel.
 Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for a long time. This
 change has been tested several weeks in linux-next, and I did not
 receive any problem report about this.
 
 Summary:
 
 - Add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in
   choice, help is doubled
 
 - Document data structure and complex code
 
 - Fix various memory leaks
 
 - Change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
   pre-generated C files
 
 - Drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'
 
 - Use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables
 
 - Fix gettext() check for xconfig
 
 - Announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed
 
 - Make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and
   search result
 
 - Hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people
 
 - Fix misc things and cleanups

Linus Torvalds 3ce120b16c kbuild: add '-fno-stack-check' to kernel build options
It appears that hardened gentoo enables "-fstack-check" by default for
gcc.

That doesn't work _at_all_ for the kernel, because the kernel stack
doesn't act like a user stack at all: it's much smaller, and it doesn't
auto-expand on use.  So the extra "probe one page below the stack" code
generated by -fstack-check just breaks the kernel in horrible ways,
causing infinite double faults etc.

[ I have to say, that the particular code gcc generates looks very
  stupid even for user space where it works, but that's a separate
  issue.  ]

Geert reported commit ae6b289a37 ("kbuild: Set KBUILD_CFLAGS before
incl. arch Makefile") broke cross-compilation using a cross-compiler
that supports less compiler options than the host compiler.

For example,

  cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable"

This problem happens on architectures that setup CROSS_COMPILE in their
arch/*/Makefile.

Move the cc-option and cc-disable-warning back to the original position,
but keep the Clang target options untouched.

Masahiro Yamada f7adc3124d kbuild: create built-in.o automatically if parent directory wants it
"obj-y += foo/" syntax requires Kbuild to visit the "foo" subdirectory
and link built-in.o from that directory.  This means foo/Makefile is
responsible for creating built-in.o even if there is no object to
link (in this case, built-in.o is an empty archive).

We have had several fixups like commit 4b024242e8 ("kbuild: Fix
linking error built-in.o no such file or directory"), then ended up
with a complex condition as follows:

  ifneq ($(strip $(obj-y) $(obj-m) $(obj-) $(subdir-m) $(lib-target)),)
  builtin-target := $(obj)/built-in.o
  endif

We still have more cases not covered by the above, so we need to add
  obj- := dummy.o
in several places just for creating empty built-in.o.

A key point is, the parent Makefile knows whether built-in.o is needed
or not.  If a subdirectory needs to create built-in.o, its parent can
tell the fact when descending.

If non-empty $(need-builtin) flag is passed from the parent, built-in.o
should be created.  $(obj-y) should be still checked to support the
single target "%/".  All of ugly tricks will go away.

Most places use pwd and rely on $PATH lookup. Moving the remaining
absolute path /bin/pwd users over for consistency.

Also, a reason for doing /bin/pwd -> pwd instead of the other way around
is because I believe build systems should make little assumptions on
host filesystem layout. Case in point, we do this kind of patching
already in NixOS.

Linus Torvalds 09bd7c75e5 Kbuild updates for v4.15
One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
 now able to cache the result of shell commands.  Some variables are
 expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
 compiler.  It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
 even when we are not actually building anything.  Kbuild creates a
 hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and
 their results.  The speed-up should be noticeable.
 
 Summary:
 
 - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)
 
 - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts
 
 - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles
 
 - Cache variables that are expensive to compute

Linus Torvalds b293fca43b RISC-V Port for Linux 4.15 v9
This tag contains the core RISC-V Linux port, which has been through
 nine rounds of review on various mailing lists.  The port is not
 complete: there's some cleanup patches moving through the review
 process, a whole bunch of drivers that need some work, and a lot of
 feature additions that will be needed.
 
 The patches contained in this tag have been through nine rounds of
 review on the various mailing lists.  I have some outstanding cleanup
 patches, but since there's been so much review on these patches I
 thought it would be best to submit them as-is and then submit explicit
 cleanup patches so everyone can review them.  This first patch set is
 big enough that it's a bit of a pain to constantly rewrite, and it's
 caused a few headaches with various contributors.
 
 The port is definately a work in progress.  While what's there builds
 and boots with 4.14, it's a bit hard to actually see anything happen
 because there are no device drivers yet.  I maintain a staging branch
 that contains all the device drivers and cleanup that actually works,
 but those patches won't all be ready for a while.  I'd like to get what
 we currently have into your tree so everyone can start working from a
 single base -- of particular importance is allowing the glibc
 upstreaming process to proceed so we can sort out any possibly lingering
 user-visible ABI problems we might have.
 
 Copied below is the ChangeLog that contains the history of this patch
 set:
 
 (v9) As per suggestions on our v8 patch set, I've split the core architecture code
 out from our drivers and would like to submit this patch set to be included
 into linux-next, with the goal being to be merged in during the next merge
 window.  This patch set is based on 4.14-rc2, but if it's better to have it
 based on something else then I can change it around.
 
 This patch set contains just the core arch code for RISC-V, so while it builds
 an nominally boots, you can't print or take an interrupt so it's not that
 useful.  If you're looking to actually boot a system it would probably be
 better to use the full patch set listed below.
 
 We've collected a handful of tags from reviewers, and the remainder of the
 patch set only got minimal feedback last time.  Here's what changed:
 
  * We now use the device tree to initialize the timer driver so it's less
    tighly coupled with the arch port.
  * I cleaned up the defconfigs -- there's actually now just one, and it's
    empty.  For now I think we're OK with what the kernel sets as defaults, but
    I anticipate we'll begin to expand this as people start to use the port
    more.
  * The VDSO symbols version is sane.
  * We WFI while spinning in the boot loop.
  * A handful of comments have been added.
 
 While there are still a handful of FIXMEs in this patch set, we've started to
 get enough interest from various users and contributors that maintaining an out
 of tree patch set is starting to become a big burden.  Hopefully the patches
 are good enough to merge now, which will at least get everyone working in a
 more reasonable manner as we clean up the remaining issues.
 
 This patch set is also availiable on github
 
   https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/riscv-for-submission-v9-arch
 
 as is the entire patch set necessary to get a more functional RISC-V system up
 and running, including a handful of patches that aren't ready for upstream yet.
 
   https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/riscv-for-submission-v9
 
 Hopefully I've managed to get everyone's feedback
 
 Here's the change highlights from the whole patch set:
 
 (v8) I know it may not be the ideal time to submit a patch set right now, as
 it's the middle of the merge window, but things have calmed down quite a bit in
 the last month so I thought it would be good to get everyone on the same page.
 There's been a handful of changes since the last patch set, but most of them
 are fairly minor:
 
 * We changed PAGE_OFFSET to allowing mapping more physical memory on 64-bit
   systems.  This is user configurable, as it triggers a different code model
   that generates slightly less efficient code.
 * The device tree binding documentation is back, I'd managed to lose it at some
   point.
 * We now pass the atomic64 test suite.  The SBI timer driver has been
 * refactored.
 
 (v7) It's been a while since my last patch set, but the changes han been fairly
 minimal:
 
  * The PCI cleanup patches have been dropped, we'll do them as a separate patch
    set later.
  * We've the Kconfig entries from CONFIG_ISA_* to CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_*, to make
    grep easier.
  * There have been a handful of memory model related tweaks in I/O land,
    particularly relating the PCI and the upcoming platform specification.
    There are significant comments in the relevant files.  This is still a WIP,
    but I think we're close to getting as good as we're going to get until we
    end up with some more specifications.
 
 (v6) As it's been only a day since the v5 patch set, the changes are pretty
 minimal:
 
  * The patch set is now based on linux-next/master, which I believe is a better
    base now that we're getting closer to upstream.
  * EARLY_PRINTK is no longer an option.  Since the SBI console is reasonable,
    there's no penalty to enabling it (and thus no benefit to disabling it).
  * The mmap syscalls were refactored a bit.
 
 (v5) Things have really started to calm down, so this is fairly similar to the
 v4 patch set.  The most interesting changes include:
 
  * We've moved back to a single patch set.
 
  * SMP support has been fixed, I was accidentally running on a non-SMP
    configuration.  There were various mistakes all over the tree as a result of
    this.
 
  * The cmpxchg syscalls have been removed, as they were deemed a bad idea.  As
    a result, RISC-V Linux systems mandate the A extension.  The corresponding
    Kconfig entry to enable builds on non-A systems has been removed.
 
  * A few more atomic fixes: mostly fence changes, but those resulted in a
    handful of additional macros that were no longer necessary.
 
  * riscv_early_sie has been removed.
 
 (v4) There have only been a few changes since the v3 patch set:
 
  * The cmpxchg64 syscall is no longer enabled on 32-bit systems.  It's not
    possible to provide this on SMP systems, and it's not necessary as glibc
    knows not to call it.
 
  * We provide a ELF_HWCAP so users can determine the ISA of the machine the
    kernel is running on.
 
  * The multi-line comments are in a better form.
 
  * There were a handful of headers that could be replaced with the asm-generic
    versions, and a few unnecessary definitions.
 
  * We no longer use printk, but instead use pr_*.
 
  * A few Kconfig and defconfig entries have been cleaned up.
 
 (v3) A highlight of the changes since the v2 patch set includes:
 
  * We've split out all our drivers into separate patch sets, which I've already
    sent out to the relevant maintainers.  I haven't included those patches in
    this patch set, but some of them are necessary to build our port.  A git
    tree that contains all our patch sets merged together lives at
    <https://github.com/riscv/riscv-linux/tree/riscv-for-submission-v3>.
 
  * The patch set is now split up differently: rather than being split per
    directory it is split per topic.  Hopefully this will make it easier to
    review the port on the mailing list.  The split is a bit rough, so you
    probably still want to look at the patch set as a whole.
 
  * atomic.h has been completely rewritten and is hopefully now correct.  I've
    attempted to sanitize the various other memory model related code as well,
    and I think it should all be sane now aside from a handful of FIXMEs
    commented in the code.
 
  * We've changed the cmpexchg syscall to always exist and to not be
    multiplexed.  There is also a VDSO entry for compare and exchange, which
    allows kernels with the A extension to execute user code without the A
    extension reasonably fast.
 
  * Our user-visible register state now contains enough space for the Q
    extension for 128-bit floating point, as well as a few words to allow
    extensibility to future ISA extensions like the eventual V extension for
    vectors.
 
  * A handful of driver cleanups, but these have been split into separate patch
    sets now so I won't duplicate them here.
 
 (v2) A highlight of the changes since the v1 patch set includes:
 
   * We've split out our drivers into the right places, which means now there's
     a lot more patches.  I'll be submitting these patches to various subsystem
     maintainers and including them in any future RISC-V patch sets until
     they've been merged.
 
   * The SBI console driver has been completely rewritten to use the HVC helpers
     and is now significantly smaller.
 
   * We've begun to use weaker barriers as opposed to just the big "fence".
     There's still some work to do here, specifically:
     - We need fences in the relaxed MMIO functions.
     - The non-relaxed MMIO functions are missing R/W bits on their fences.

Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-4.15-arch-v9-premerge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux

Pull RISC-V architecture support from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains the core RISC-V Linux port, which has been through nine
  rounds of review on various mailing lists. The port is not complete:
  there's some cleanup patches moving through the review process, a
  whole bunch of drivers that need some work, and a lot of feature
  additions that will be needed.

  The patches contained in this tag have been through nine rounds of
  review on the various mailing lists. I have some outstanding cleanup
  patches, but since there's been so much review on these patches I
  thought it would be best to submit them as-is and then submit explicit
  cleanup patches so everyone can review them. This first patch set is
  big enough that it's a bit of a pain to constantly rewrite, and it's
  caused a few headaches with various contributors.

  The port is definately a work in progress. While what's there builds
  and boots with 4.14, it's a bit hard to actually see anything happen
  because there are no device drivers yet. I maintain a staging branch
  that contains all the device drivers and cleanup that actually works,
  but those patches won't all be ready for a while. I'd like to get what
  we currently have into your tree so everyone can start working from a
  single base -- of particular importance is allowing the glibc
  upstreaming process to proceed so we can sort out any possibly
  lingering user-visible ABI problems we might have.

  Copied below is the ChangeLog that contains the history of this patch
  set:

   (v9) As per suggestions on our v8 patch set, I've split the core
        architecture code out from our drivers and would like to submit
        this patch set to be included into linux-next, with the goal
        being to be merged in during the next merge window. This patch
        set is based on 4.14-rc2, but if it's better to have it based on
        something else then I can change it around.

        This patch set contains just the core arch code for RISC-V, so
        while it builds an nominally boots, you can't print or take an
        interrupt so it's not that useful. If you're looking to actually
        boot a system it would probably be better to use the full patch
        set listed below.

        We've collected a handful of tags from reviewers, and the
        remainder of the patch set only got minimal feedback last time.
        Here's what changed:

         - We now use the device tree to initialize the timer driver so
           it's less tighly coupled with the arch port.

         - I cleaned up the defconfigs -- there's actually now just one,
           and it's empty. For now I think we're OK with what the kernel
           sets as defaults, but I anticipate we'll begin to expand this
           as people start to use the port more.

         - The VDSO symbols version is sane.

         - We WFI while spinning in the boot loop.

         - A handful of comments have been added.

        While there are still a handful of FIXMEs in this patch set,
        we've started to get enough interest from various users and
        contributors that maintaining an out of tree patch set is
        starting to become a big burden. Hopefully the patches are good
        enough to merge now, which will at least get everyone working in
        a more reasonable manner as we clean up the remaining issues.

   (v8) I know it may not be the ideal time to submit a patch set right
        now, as it's the middle of the merge window, but things have
        calmed down quite a bit in the last month so I thought it would
        be good to get everyone on the same page. There's been a handful
        of changes since the last patch set, but most of them are fairly
        minor:

         - We changed PAGE_OFFSET to allowing mapping more physical
           memory on 64-bit systems. This is user configurable, as it
           triggers a different code model that generates slightly less
           efficient code.

         - The device tree binding documentation is back, I'd managed to
           lose it at some point.

         - We now pass the atomic64 test suite

         - The SBI timer driver has been refactored.

   (v7) It's been a while since my last patch set, but the changes han
        been fairly minimal:

         - The PCI cleanup patches have been dropped, we'll do them as a
           separate patch set later.

         - We've the Kconfig entries from CONFIG_ISA_* to
           CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_*, to make grep easier.

         - There have been a handful of memory model related tweaks in
           I/O land, particularly relating the PCI and the upcoming
           platform specification. There are significant comments in the
           relevant files. This is still a WIP, but I think we're close
           to getting as good as we're going to get until we end up with
           some more specifications.

   (v6) As it's been only a day since the v5 patch set, the changes are
        pretty minimal:

         - The patch set is now based on linux-next/master, which I
           believe is a better base now that we're getting closer to
           upstream.

         - EARLY_PRINTK is no longer an option. Since the SBI console is
           reasonable, there's no penalty to enabling it (and thus no
           benefit to disabling it).

         - The mmap syscalls were refactored a bit.

   (v5) Things have really started to calm down, so this is fairly
        similar to the v4 patch set. The most interesting changes
        include:

         - We've moved back to a single patch set.

         - SMP support has been fixed, I was accidentally running on a
           non-SMP configuration. There were various mistakes all over
           the tree as a result of this.

         - The cmpxchg syscalls have been removed, as they were deemed a
           bad idea. As a result, RISC-V Linux systems mandate the A
           extension. The corresponding Kconfig entry to enable builds
           on non-A systems has been removed.

         - A few more atomic fixes: mostly fence changes, but those
           resulted in a handful of additional macros that were no
           longer necessary.

         - riscv_early_sie has been removed.

   (v4) There have only been a few changes since the v3 patch set:

         - The cmpxchg64 syscall is no longer enabled on 32-bit systems.
           It's not possible to provide this on SMP systems, and it's
           not necessary as glibc knows not to call it.

         - We provide a ELF_HWCAP so users can determine the ISA of the
           machine the kernel is running on.

         - The multi-line comments are in a better form.

         - There were a handful of headers that could be replaced with
           the asm-generic versions, and a few unnecessary definitions.

         - We no longer use printk, but instead use pr_*.

         - A few Kconfig and defconfig entries have been cleaned up.

   (v3) A highlight of the changes since the v2 patch set includes:

         - We've split out all our drivers into separate patch sets,
           which I've already sent out to the relevant maintainers. I
           haven't included those patches in this patch set, but some of
           them are necessary to build our port.

         - The patch set is now split up differently: rather than being
           split per directory it is split per topic. Hopefully this
           will make it easier to review the port on the mailing list.
           The split is a bit rough, so you probably still want to look
           at the patch set as a whole.

         - atomic.h has been completely rewritten and is hopefully now
           correct. I've attempted to sanitize the various other memory
           model related code as well, and I think it should all be sane
           now aside from a handful of FIXMEs commented in the code.

         - We've changed the cmpexchg syscall to always exist and to not
           be multiplexed. There is also a VDSO entry for compare and
           exchange, which allows kernels with the A extension to
           execute user code without the A extension reasonably fast.

         - Our user-visible register state now contains enough space for
           the Q extension for 128-bit floating point, as well as a few
           words to allow extensibility to future ISA extensions like
           the eventual V extension for vectors.

         - A handful of driver cleanups, but these have been split into
           separate patch sets now so I won't duplicate them here.

   (v2) A highlight of the changes since the v1 patch set includes:

         - We've split out our drivers into the right places, which
           means now there's a lot more patches. I'll be submitting
           these patches to various subsystem maintainers and including
           them in any future RISC-V patch sets until they've been
           merged.

         - The SBI console driver has been completely rewritten to use
           the HVC helpers and is now significantly smaller.

         - We've begun to use weaker barriers as opposed to just the big
           "fence". There's still some work to do here, specifically:
            - We need fences in the relaxed MMIO functions.
            - The non-relaxed MMIO functions are missing R/W bits on their fences.
            - Many AMOs need the aq and rl bits set.

         - We now have thread_info in task_struct. As a result, sscratch
           now contains TP instead of SP. This was necessary because
           thread_info is no longer on the stack.

         - A few shared routines have been added that we use instead of
           creating another arch copy"

Linus Torvalds d6ec9d9a4d Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Note that in this cycle most of the x86 topics interacted at a level
  that caused them to be merged into tip:x86/asm - but this should be a
  temporary phenomenon, hopefully we'll back to the usual patterns in
  the next merge window.

  The main changes in this cycle were:

  Hardware enablement:

   - Add support for the Intel UMIP (User Mode Instruction Prevention)
     CPU feature. This is a security feature that disables certain
     instructions such as SGDT, SLDT, SIDT, SMSW and STR. (Ricardo Neri)

     [ Note that this is disabled by default for now, there are some
       smaller enhancements in the pipeline that I'll follow up with in
       the next 1-2 days, which allows this to be enabled by default.]

   - Add support for the AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) CPU
     feature, on top of SME (Secure Memory Encryption) support that was
     added in v4.14. (Tom Lendacky, Brijesh Singh)

   - Enable new SSE/AVX/AVX512 CPU features: AVX512_VBMI2, GFNI, VAES,
     VPCLMULQDQ, AVX512_VNNI, AVX512_BITALG. (Gayatri Kammela)

  Other changes:

   - A big series of entry code simplifications and enhancements (Andy
     Lutomirski)

   - Make the ORC unwinder default on x86 and various objtool
     enhancements. (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - 5-level paging enhancements (Kirill A. Shutemov)

   - Micro-optimize the entry code a bit (Borislav Petkov)

   - Improve the handling of interdependent CPU features in the early
     FPU init code (Andi Kleen)

   - Build system enhancements (Changbin Du, Masahiro Yamada)

Masahiro Yamada 433dc2ebe7 kbuild: do not call cc-option before KBUILD_CFLAGS initialization
Some $(call cc-option,...) are invoked very early, even before
KBUILD_CFLAGS, etc. are initialized.

The returned string from $(call cc-option,...) depends on
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, KBUILD_CFLAGS, and GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS.

Since they are exported, they are not empty when the top Makefile
is recursively invoked.

The recursion occurs in several places.  For example, the top
Makefile invokes itself for silentoldconfig.  "make tinyconfig",
"make rpm-pkg" are the cases, too.

In those cases, the second call of cc-option from the same line
runs a different shell command due to non-pristine KBUILD_CFLAGS.

To get the same result all the time, KBUILD_* and GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS
must be initialized before any call of cc-option.  This avoids
garbage data in the .cache.mk file.

Move all calls of cc-option below the config targets because target
compiler flags are unnecessary for Kconfig.

Douglas Anderson 4e56207130 kbuild: Cache a few more calls to the compiler
These are a few stragglers that I left out of the original patch to
cache calls to the C compiler ("kbuild: Add a cache for generated
variables") because they bleed out into the main Makefile and thus
uglify things a little bit.  The idea is the same here, though.

Douglas Anderson 3298b690b2 kbuild: Add a cache for generated variables
While timing a "no-op" build of the kernel (incrementally building the
kernel even though nothing changed) in the Chrome OS build system I
found that it was much slower than I expected.

Digging into things a bit, I found that quite a bit of the time was
spent invoking the C compiler even though we weren't actually building
anything.  Currently in the Chrome OS build system the C compiler is
called through a number of wrappers (one of which is written in
python!) and can take upwards of 100 ms to invoke even if we're not
doing anything difficult, so these invocations of the compiler were
taking a lot of time.  Worse the invocations couldn't seem to take
advantage of the multiple cores on my system.

Certainly it seems like we could make the compiler invocations in the
Chrome OS build system faster, but only to a point.  Inherently
invoking a program as big as a C compiler is a fairly heavy
operation.  Thus even if we can speed the compiler calls it made sense
to track down what was happening.

It turned out that all the compiler invocations were coming from
usages like this in the kernel's Makefile:

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option,-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks,)

Due to the way cc-option and similar statements work the above
contains an implicit call to the C compiler.  ...and due to the fact
that we're storing the result in KBUILD_CFLAGS, a simply expanded
variable, the call will happen every time the Makefile is parsed, even
if there are no users of KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Rather than redoing this computation every time, it makes a lot of
sense to cache the result of all of the Makefile's compiler calls just
like we do when we compile a ".c" file to a ".o" file.  Conceptually
this is quite a simple idea.  ...and since the calls to invoke the
compiler and similar tools are centrally located in the Kbuild.include
file this doesn't even need to be super invasive.

Implementing the cache in a simple-to-use and efficient way is not
quite as simple as it first sounds, though.  To get maximum speed we
really want the cache in a format that make can natively understand
and make doesn't really have an ability to load/parse files. ...but
make _can_ import other Makefiles, so the solution is to store the
cache in Makefile format.  This requires coming up with a valid/unique
Makefile variable name for each value to be cached, but that's
solvable with some cleverness.

After this change, we'll automatically create a ".cache.mk" file that
will contain our cached variables.  We'll load this on each invocation
of make and will avoid recomputing anything that's already in our
cache.  The cache is stored in a format that it shouldn't need any
invalidation since anything that might change should affect the "key"
and any old cached value won't be used.

Masahiro Yamada 74ce1896c6 kbuild: clean up *.dtb and *.dtb.S patterns from top-level Makefile
We need to add "clean-files" in Makfiles to clean up DT blobs, but we
often miss to do so.

Since there are no source files that end with .dtb or .dtb.S, so we
can clean-up those files from the top-level Makefile.
