Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - allow users to invoke 'make' out of the source tree

 - refactor scripts/mkmakefile

 - deprecate KBUILD_SRC, which was used to track the source tree
   location for O= build.

 - fix recordmcount.pl in case objdump output is localized

 - turn unresolved symbols in external modules to errors from warnings
   by default; pass KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN=1 to get them back to warnings

 - generate modules.builtin.modinfo to collect .modinfo data from
   built-in modules

 - misc Makefile cleanups

<title>objtool: Add UACCESS validation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ea24213d8088f9da73e1b6aadf7abd2435b70397</id>
<content type='text'>
It is important that UACCESS regions are as small as possible;
furthermore the UACCESS state is not scheduled, so doing anything that
might directly call into the scheduler will cause random code to be
ran with UACCESS enabled.

Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.

Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers
must have an otherwise redundant UACCESS disable instruction;
therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers
are not normal functions).

<title>kbuild: use $(srctree) instead of KBUILD_SRC to check out-of-tree build</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9a49c2ad9b9b8ee20668c15ca2b806dbed8ea40</id>
<content type='text'>
KBUILD_SRC was conventionally used for some different purposes:
 [1] To remember the source tree path
 [2] As a flag to check if sub-make is already done
 [3] As a flag to check if Kbuild runs out of tree

For [1], we do not need to remember it because the top Makefile
can compute it by $(realpath $(dir $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))

[2] has been replaced with self-commenting 'sub_make_done'.

For [3], we can distinguish in-tree/out-of-tree by comparing
$(srctree) and '.'

This commit converts [3] to prepare for the KBUILD_SRC removal.

<title>kbuild: strip whitespace in cmd_record_mcount findstring</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a49b2fd8f58dd397043a17de9b3c421ccf8eda7</id>
<content type='text'>
CC_FLAGS_FTRACE may contain trailing whitespace that interferes with
findstring.

For example, commit 6977f95e63b9 ("powerpc: avoid -mno-sched-epilog on
GCC 4.9 and newer") introduced a change such that on my ppc64le box,
CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel ".  (Note the trailing space.)
When cmd_record_mcount is now invoked, findstring fails as the ftrace
flags were found at very end of _c_flags, without the trailing space.

  _c_flags=" ... -pg -mprofile-kernel"
  CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel "
                                       ^
    findstring is looking for this extra space

Remove the redundant whitespaces from CC_FLAGS_FTRACE in
cmd_record_mcount to avoid this problem.

[masahiro.yamada: This issue only happens in the released versions
of GNU Make. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE will not contain the trailing space if
you use the latest GNU Make, which contains commit b90fabc8d6f3
("* NEWS: Do not insert a space during '+=' if the value is empty.") ]

scripts/Makefile.build and arch/s390/boot/Makefile use the same
command (thin archiving with symbol table creation).

Avoid the code duplication, and move it to scripts/Makefile.lib.

<title>kbuild: hardcode genksyms path and remove GENKSYMS variable</title>

<id>urn:sha1:88110713ca9dfbb0b6cb8bbb46ef6ecb313d6681</id>
<content type='text'>
The genksyms source was integrated into the kernel tree in 2003.

I do not expect anybody still using the external /sbin/genksyms.
Kbuild does not need to provide the ability to override GENKSYMS.

Let's remove the GENKSYMS variable, and use the hardcoded path.

Since it occurred in the pre-git era, I attached the commit message
in case somebody is interested in the historical background.

  |
  | kbuild: [PATCH] put genksyms in scripts dir
  |
  | This puts genksyms into scripts/genksyms/.
  |
  | genksyms used to be maintained externally, though the only possible user
  | was the kernel build. Moving it into the kernel sources makes it easier to
  | keep it uptodate, like for example updating it to generate linker scripts
  | directly instead of postprocessing the generated header file fragments
  | with sed, as we do currently.
  |
  | Also, genksyms does not handle __typeof__, which needs to be fixed since
  | some of the exported symbol in the kernel are defined using __typeof__.

<title>kbuild: Disable extra debugging info in .s output</title>

Modern gcc adds view assignments, reset assertion checking in .loc
directives and a couple more additional debug markers, which clutters
the asm output unnecessarily:

For example:

  bsp_resume:
  .LFB3466:
          .loc 1 1868 1 is_stmt 1 view -0
          .cfi_startproc
          .loc 1 1869 2 view .LVU73
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu-&gt;c_bsp_resume)
          .loc 1 1869 14 is_stmt 0 view .LVU74
          movq    this_cpu(%rip), %rax    # this_cpu, this_cpu
          movq    64(%rax), %rax  # this_cpu.94_1-&gt;c_bsp_resume, _2
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu-&gt;c_bsp_resume)
          .loc 1 1869 5 view .LVU75
          testq   %rax, %rax      # _2
          je      .L8     #,
          .loc 1 1870 3 is_stmt 1 view .LVU76
          movq    $boot_cpu_data, %rdi    #,
          jmp     __x86_indirect_thunk_rax

or
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU478
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU479
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU480
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU481
  .LBB1385:
  .LBB1383:
  .LBB1379:
  .LBB1377:
  .LBB1375:
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU482
        .loc 2 57 9 view .LVU483
        movl	%edi, %edx	# cpu, cpu
  .LVL87:
        .loc 2 57 9 is_stmt 0 view .LVU484

That MOV in there is drowned in debugging information and latter makes
it hard to follow the asm. And that DWARF info is not really needed for
asm output staring.

Disable the debug information generation which clutters the asm output
unnecessarily:

  bsp_resume:
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu-&gt;c_bsp_resume)
          movq    this_cpu(%rip), %rax    # this_cpu, this_cpu
          movq    64(%rax), %rax  # this_cpu.94_1-&gt;c_bsp_resume, _2
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1869:    if (this_cpu-&gt;c_bsp_resume)
          testq   %rax, %rax      # _2
          je      .L8     #,
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1870:            this_cpu-&gt;c_bsp_resume(&amp;boot_cpu_data);
          movq    $boot_cpu_data, %rdi    #,
          jmp     __x86_indirect_thunk_rax
  .L8:
  # arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1871: }
          rep ret
          .size   bsp_resume, .-bsp_resume

<title>kbuild: add real-prereqs shorthand for $(filter-out FORCE,$^)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:afa974b771281fd89e8fdcb71152152f17fb8303</id>
<content type='text'>
In Kbuild, if_changed and friends must have FORCE as a prerequisite.

Hence, $(filter-out FORCE,$^) or $(filter-out $(PHONY),$^) is a common
idiom to get the names of all the prerequisites except phony targets.

Add real-prereqs as a shorthand.

Note:
We cannot replace $(filter %.o,$^) in cmd_link_multi-m because $^ may
include auto-generated dependencies from the .*.cmd file when a single
object module is changed into a multi object module. Refer to commit
69ea912fda74 ("kbuild: remove unneeded link_multi_deps"). I added some
comment to avoid accidental breakage.
