commit bee08a9e6ab03caf14481d97b35a258400ffab8f upstream.

After fixing the HAVE_STACKPROTECTER checks for clang's in-progress
per-task stack protector support [1], the build fails during prepare0
because '-mstack-protector-guard-offset' has not been added to
KBUILD_CFLAGS yet but the other '-mstack-protector-guard' flags have.

  clang: error: '-mstack-protector-guard=tls' is used without '-mstack-protector-guard-offset', and there is no default
  clang: error: '-mstack-protector-guard=tls' is used without '-mstack-protector-guard-offset', and there is no default
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:229: scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 1
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:102: scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s] Error 1

Mirror other architectures and add all '-mstack-protector-guard' flags
to KBUILD_CFLAGS atomically during stack_protector_prepare, which
resolves the issue and allows clang's implementation to fully work with
the kernel.

[ Upstream commit dc5dac748af9087e9240bd2ae6ae7db48d5360ae ]

Add an option to build kernel and module with prefixed instructions if
the CPU and toolchain support it.

This is not related to kernel support for userspace execution of
prefixed instructions.

Building with prefixed instructions breaks some extended inline asm
memory addressing, for example it will provide immediates that exceed
the range of simple load/store displacement. Whether this is a
toolchain or a kernel asm problem remains to be seen. For now, these
are replaced with simpler and less efficient direct register addressing
when compiling with prefixed.

There is no more user for ld-ifversion. Remove it as well.

<title>powerpc: Fail build if using recordmcount with binutils v2.37</title>

<id>urn:sha1:16eceb395994f2eb004938d4b58e405e7dd4dd94</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 25ea739ea1d4d3de41acc4f4eb2d1a97eee0eb75 upstream.

binutils v2.37 drops unused section symbols, which prevents recordmcount
from capturing mcount locations in sections that have no non-weak
symbols. This results in a build failure with a message such as:
	Cannot find symbol for section 12: .text.perf_callchain_kernel.
	kernel/events/callchain.o: failed

The change to binutils was reverted for v2.38, so this behavior is
specific to binutils v2.37:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=c09c8b42021180eee9495bd50d8b35e683d3901b

Objtool is able to cope with such sections, so this issue is specific to
recordmcount.

Fail the build and print a warning if binutils v2.37 is detected and if
we are using recordmcount.

commit bfb03af71a3798b5a88a945a9c19ad67e1c4986d upstream.

Jan-Benedict reported issue with building ppc64e_defconfig
with mainline GCC work:

	make: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile:387: vdso_prepare] Error 2

This is due to assembler being called with -me500mc which is
a 32 bits target.

The problem comes from the fact that CONFIG_PPC_E500MC is selected for
both the e500mc (32 bits) and the e5500 (64 bits), and therefore the
following makefile rule is wrong:

  cpu-as-$(CONFIG_PPC_E500MC)    += $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-me500mc)

Today we have CONFIG_TARGET_CPU which provides the identification of the
expected CPU, it is used for GCC. Once GCC knows the target CPU, it adds
the correct CPU option to assembler, no need to add it explicitly.

With that change (And also commit 45f7091aac35 ("powerpc/64: Set default
CPU in Kconfig")), it now is:

commit 45f7091aac3546ef8112bf62836650ca0bbf0b79 upstream.

Since commit 0069f3d14e7a ("powerpc/64e: Tie PPC_BOOK3E_64 to
PPC_E500MC"), the only possible BOOK3E/64 are E500, so no need of a
default CPU over the E5500.

When the user selects book3e, they must have an e500 compatible
compiler, and it won't work anymore with the default -mcpu=power64, see
commit d6b551b8f90c ("powerpc/64e: Fix build failure with GCC
12 (unrecognized opcode: `wrteei')").

For book3s/64, replace GENERIC_CPU by POWERPC64_CPU to match the PPC32
POWERPC_CPU, and set a default mpcu value in Kconfig directly.

When a user selects a particular CPU, they must ensure the compiler has
the requested capability. Therefore, remove hidden fallback, instead
offer user the possibility to say they want to use the toolchain
default.

[ Upstream commit 31f48f16264bc70962fb3e7ec62da64d0a2ba04a ]

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that KBUILD_AFLAGS contains a linker flag, which will be
unused:

  clang: error: -Wl,-a32: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This was likely supposed to be '-Wa,-a$(BITS)'. However, this change is
unnecessary, as all supported versions of clang and gcc will pass '-a64'
or '-a32' to GNU as based on the value of '-m'; the behavior of the
latest stable release of the oldest supported major version of each
compiler is shown below and each compiler's latest release exhibits the
same behavior (GCC 12.2.0 and Clang 15.0.6).

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version | head -1

Remove this flag altogether to avoid future issues.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.

A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.

I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.

I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.
