[ Upstream commit 824927e88456331c7a999fdf5d9d27923b619590 ]

ARC GCC compiler is packaged starting from Fedora 39i and the GCC
variant of cross compile tools has arc-linux-gnu- prefix and not
arc-linux-. This is causing that CROSS_COMPILE variable is left unset.

This change allows builds without need to supply CROSS_COMPILE argument
if distro package is used.

Before this change:
$ make -j 128 ARCH=arc W=1 drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/
  gcc: warning: ‘-mcpu=’ is deprecated; use ‘-mtune=’ or ‘-march=’ instead
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mmedium-calls’
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-mlock’
  gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option ‘-munaligned-access’

cc-option-yn can be replaced with cc-option. ie.
Checking for support:
ifeq ($(call cc-option-yn,$(FLAG)),y)
becomes:
ifneq ($(call cc-option,$(FLAG)),)

Checking for lack of support:
ifeq ($(call cc-option-yn,$(FLAG)),n)
becomes:
ifeq ($(call cc-option,$(FLAG)),)

This allows us to pursue removing cc-option-yn.

arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild is useful for Makefile cleanups because you can
use the obj-y syntax.

Add an empty file if it is missing in arch/$(SRCARCH)/.

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.

<title>ARC: build: move symlink creation to arch/arc/Makefile to avoid race</title>

<content type='text'>
If you run 'make uImage uImage.gz' with the parallel option, uImage.gz
will be created by two threads simultaneously.

This is because arch/arc/Makefile does not specify the dependency
between uImage and uImage.gz. Hence, GNU Make assumes they can be
built in parallel. One thread descends into arch/arc/boot/ to create
uImage, and another to create uImage.gz.

Please notice the same log is displayed twice in the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arc uImage uImage.gz
  [ snip ]
    LD      vmlinux
    SORTTAB vmlinux
    SYSMAP  System.map
    OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin
    OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin
    GZIP    arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
    GZIP    arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
    UIMAGE  arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz
    UIMAGE  arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz
  Image Name:   Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044
  Created:      Sun Nov 22 02:52:26 2020
  Image Type:   ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  Data Size:    2109376 Bytes = 2059.94 KiB = 2.01 MiB
  Load Address: 80000000
  Entry Point:  80004000
    Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready
  Image Name:   Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044
  Created:      Sun Nov 22 02:52:26 2020
  Image Type:   ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  Data Size:    2815455 Bytes = 2749.47 KiB = 2.69 MiB
  Load Address: 80000000
  Entry Point:  80004000

This is a race between the two threads trying to write to the same file
arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz. This is a potential problem that can generate
a broken file.

I fixed a similar problem for ARM by commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1:
add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images").

I highly recommend to avoid such build rules that cause a race condition.

Move the uImage rule to arch/arc/Makefile.

Another strangeness is that arch/arc/boot/Makefile compares the
timestamps between $(obj)/uImage and $(obj)/uImage.*:

  $(obj)/uImage: $(obj)/uImage.$(suffix-y)
          @ln -sf $(notdir $&lt;) $@
          @echo '  Image $@ is ready'

This does not work as expected since $(obj)/uImage is a symlink.
The symlink should be created in a phony target rule.

I used $(kecho) instead of echo to suppress the message
'Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready' when the -s option is given.

<title>ARC: build: add boot_targets to PHONY</title>

<content type='text'>
The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony
targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create
files there.

If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot
image will not be created.

You can confirm it by the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all   # vmlinux will be built
  $ touch uImage.gz
  $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created

Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

<title>ARC: build: add uImage.lzma to the top-level target</title>

arch/arc/boot/Makefile supports uImage.lzma, but you cannot do
'make uImage.lzma' because the corresponding target is missing
in arch/arc/Makefile. Add it.

I also changed the assignment operator '+=' to ':=' since this is the
only place where we expect this variable to be set.

The deb-pkg builds for ARCH=arc fail.

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arc bindeb-pkg
  SORTTAB vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  MODPOST Module.symvers
  make KERNELRELEASE=5.10.0-rc4 ARCH=arc KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=2 -f ./Makefile intdeb-pkg
  sh ./scripts/package/builddeb
  cp: cannot stat 'arch/arc/boot/bootpImage': No such file or directory
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:87: intdeb-pkg] Error 1
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:1527: intdeb-pkg] Error 2
  make[2]: *** [debian/rules:13: binary-arch] Error 2
  dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:83: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:1527: bindeb-pkg] Error 2

The reason is obvious; arch/arc/Makefile sets $(boot)/bootpImage as
the default image, but there is no rule to build it.

Remove the meaningless KBUILD_IMAGE assignment so it will fallback
to the default vmlinux. With this change, you can build the deb package.

I removed the 'bootpImage' target as well. At best, it provides
'make bootpImage' as an alias of 'make vmlinux', but I do not see
much sense in doing so.
