[ Upstream commit 87c4e1459e80bf65066f864c762ef4dc932fad4b ]

After commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper
flags and language target"), which updated as-instr to use the
'assembler-with-cpp' language option, the Kbuild version of as-instr
always fails internally for arch/arm with

  &lt;command-line&gt;: fatal error: asm/unified.h: No such file or directory
  compilation terminated.

because '-include' flags are now taken into account by the compiler
driver and as-instr does not have '$(LINUXINCLUDE)', so unified.h is not
found.

This went unnoticed at the time of the Kbuild change because the last
use of as-instr in Kbuild that arch/arm could reach was removed in 5.7
by commit 541ad0150ca4 ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support") but a
stable backport of the Kbuild change to before that point exposed this
potential issue if one were to be reintroduced.

Follow the general pattern of '-include' paths throughout the tree and
make unified.h absolute using '$(srctree)' to ensure KBUILD_AFLAGS can
be used independently.

<content type='text'>
commit 418ace9992a7647c446ed3186df40cf165b67298 upstream.

Naresh and Antonio ran into a build failure with latest Debian
armhf compilers, with lots of output like

 tmp/ccY3nOAs.s:2215: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode

As it turns out, $(cc-option) fails early here when the FPU is not
selected before CPU architecture is selected, as the compiler
option check runs before enabling -msoft-float, which causes
a problem when testing a target architecture level without an FPU:

cc1: error: '-mfloat-abi=hard': selected architecture lacks an FPU

Passing e.g. -march=armv6k+fp in place of -march=armv6k would avoid this
issue, but the fallback logic is already broken because all supported
compilers (gcc-5 and higher) are much more recent than these options,
and building with -march=armv5t as a fallback no longer works.

The best way forward that I see is to just remove all the checks, which
also has the nice side-effect of slightly improving the startup time for
'make'.

The -mtune=marvell-f option was apparently never supported by any mainline
compiler, and the custom Codesourcery gcc build that did support is
now too old to build kernels, so just use -mtune=xscale unconditionally
for those.

This should be safe to apply on all stable kernels, and will be required
in order to keep building them with gcc-11 and higher.

<title>kbuild: Hoist '--orphan-handling' into Kconfig</title>

<id>urn:sha1:59612b24f78a0b61fe078ec9dff2e48e9cec52c0</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).

To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.

To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

Pull ARM SoC platform updates from Olof Johansson:
 "SoC changes, a substantial part of this is cleanup of some of the
  older platforms that used to have a bunch of board files.

  In particular:

   - Remove non-DT i.MX platforms that haven't seen activity in years,
     it's time to remove them.

   - A bunch of cleanup and removal of platform data for TI/OMAP
     platforms, moving over to genpd for power/reset control (yay!)

   - Major cleanup of Samsung S3C24xx and S3C64xx platforms, moving them
     closer to multiplatform support (not quite there yet, but getting
     close).

  There are a few other changes too, smaller fixlets, etc. For new
  platform support, the primary ones are:

   - New SoC: Hisilicon SD5203, ARM926EJ-S platform.

   - Cpufreq support for i.MX7ULP"

<title>kbuild: preprocess module linker script</title>

<id>urn:sha1:596b0474d3d9b1242eab713f84d8873f9887d980</id>
<content type='text'>
There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)

The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.

You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.

scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.

You can add arch-specific sections in &lt;asm/module.lds.h&gt;.

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly handled in the linker
script.

Specifically, this would have made a recently fixed bug very obvious:

ld: warning: orphan section `.fixup' from `arch/arm/lib/copy_from_user.o' being placed in section `.fixup'

With all sections handled, enable orphan section warning.
