Commit 25b146c5 ("kbuild: allow Kbuild to start from any directory")
deprecated KBUILD_SRCTREE.

It is only used in tools/testing/selftest/ to distinguish out-of-tree
build. Replace it with a new boolean flag, building_out_of_srctree.

I also replaced the conditional ($(srctree),.) because the next commit
will allow an absolute path to be used for $(srctree) even when building
in the source tree.

header-test-y does not work with headers in sub-directories.

For example, you may want to write a Makefile, like this:

include/linux/Kbuild:

  header-test-y += mtd/nand.h

This entry will create a wrapper include/linux/mtd/nand.hdrtest.c
with the following content:

  #include "mtd/nand.h"

To make this work, we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux to the
header search path. It would be tedious to add ccflags-y.

Instead, we could change the *.hdrtest.c rule to wrap:

  #include "nand.h"

This works for in-tree build since #include "..." searches in the
relative path from the header with this directive. For O=... build,
we need to add $(srctree)/include/linux/mtd to the header search path,
which will be even more tedious.

After all, I thought it would be handier to compile headers directly
without creating wrappers.

I added a new build rule to compile %.h into %.h.s

The target is %.h.s instead of %.h.o because it is slightly faster.
Also, as for GCC, an empty assembly is smaller than an empty object.

I wrote the build rule:

  $(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c /dev/null -include $<

instead of:

  $(CC) $(c_flags) -S -o $@ -x c $<

Both work fine with GCC, but the latter is bad for Clang.

This comes down to the difference in the -Wunused-function policy.
GCC does not warn about unused 'static inline' functions at all.
Clang does not warn about the ones in included headers, but does
about the ones in the source. So, we should handle headers as
headers, not as source files.

In fact, this has been hidden since commit abb2ea7d ("compiler,
clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions"), but we
should not rely on that.

Sometimes it's useful to be able to explicitly ensure certain headers
remain self-contained, i.e. that they are compilable as standalone
units, by including and/or forward declaring everything they depend on.

Add special target header-test-y where individual Makefiles can add
headers to be tested if CONFIG_HEADER_TEST is enabled. This will
generate a dummy C file per header that gets built as part of extra-y.

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).

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.

CC_FLAGS_FTRACE may contain trailing whitespace that interferes with

CC_FLAGS_FTRACE="-pg -mprofile-kernel ".  (Note the trailing space.)
When cmd_record_mcount is now invoked, findstring fails as the ftrace

In commit 54a702f7 ("kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and
remove .PRECIOUS markers"), I missed one important feature of the
.SECONDARY target:

    .SECONDARY with no prerequisites causes all targets to be
    treated as secondary.

... which agrees with the policy of Kbuild.

Let's move it to scripts/Kbuild.include, with no prerequisites.

Note:
If an intermediate file is generated by $(call if_changed,...), you
still need to add it to "targets" so its .*.cmd file is included.

The arm/arm64 crypto files are generated by $(call cmd,shipped),
so they do not need to be added to "targets", but need to be added
to "clean-files" so "make clean" can properly clean them away.

With the change of rule_cc_o_c / rule_as_o_S in the last commit, each

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

The 'define' ... 'endef' directive is useful to confine a series of
shell commands into a single macro:

  define foo
          [action1]
          [action2]
          [action3]
  endif

Each action is executed in a separate subshell.

However, rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S in scripts/Makefile.build are
written as follows (with a trailing semicolon in each cmd_*):

  define rule_cc_o_c
          [action1] ; \
          [action2] ; \
          [action3] ;
  endef

All shell commands are concatenated with '; \' so that it looks like
a single command from the Makefile point of view. This does not
exploit the benefits of 'define' ... 'endef' form because a single
shell command can be more simply written, like this:

  rule_cc_o_c = \
          [action1] ; \
          [action2] ; \
          [action3] ;

I guess the intention for the command concatenation was to let the
'@set -e' in if_changed_rule cover all the commands.

We can improve the readability by moving '@set -e' to the 'cmd' macro.
The combo of $(call echo-cmd,*) $(cmd_*) in rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S
have been replaced with $(call cmd,*). The trailing back-slashes have
been removed.

Here is a note about the performance: the commands in rule_cc_o_c and
rule_as_o_S were previously executed all together in a single subshell,
but now each line in a separate subshell. This means Make will spawn
extra subshells [1]. I measured the build performance for
  x86_64_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS + CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
and I saw slight performance regression, but I believe code readability
and maintainability wins.

[1] Precisely, GNU Make may optimize this by executing the command
    directly instead of forking a subshell, if no shell special
    characters are found in the command line and omitting the subshell
    will not change the behavior.

My main motivation of this commit is to clean up scripts/Kbuild.include
and scripts/Makefile.build.

Currently, CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS works with a tricky gimmick;
possibly exported symbols are detected by letting $(CPP) replace
EXPORT_SYMBOL* with a special string '=== __KSYM_*===', which is
post-processed by sed, and passed to fixdep. The extra preprocessing
is costly, and hacking cmd_and_fixdep is ugly.

I came up with a new way to find exported symbols; insert a dummy
symbol __ksym_marker_* to each potentially exported symbol. Those
dummy symbols are picked up by $(NM), post-processed by sed, then
appended to .*.cmd files. I collected the post-process part to a
new shell script scripts/gen_ksymdeps.sh for readability. The dummy
symbols are put into the .discard.* section so that the linker
script rips them off the final vmlinux or modules.

A nice side-effect is building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS will
be much faster.

Let $(CC) compile objects into normal files *.o instead of .tmp_*.o
whether CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is enabled or not. With this, the input
file for objtool is always *.o so objtool_o can go away.

I guess the reason of using .tmp_*.o for intermediate objects was
to avoid leaving incomplete *.o file (, whose timestamp says it is
up-to-date) when the genksyms tool failed for some reasons.

This is executed inside the if_changed_rule, which already sets

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Currently, fixdep writes dependencies to .*.tmp, which is renamed to
.*.cmd after everything succeeds. This is a very safe way to avoid
corrupted .*.cmd files. The if_changed_dep has carried this safety
mechanism since it was added in 2002.

If fixdep fails for some reasons or a user terminates the build while
fixdep is running, the incomplete output from the fixdep could be
troublesome.

This is my insight about some bad scenarios:

[1] If the compiler succeeds to generate *.o file, but fixdep fails
    to write necessary dependencies to .*.cmd file, Make will miss
    to rebuild the object when headers or CONFIG options are changed.
    In this case, fixdep should not generate .*.cmd file at all so
    that 'arg-check' will surely trigger the rebuild of the object.

[2] A partially constructed .*.cmd file may not be a syntactically
    correct makefile. The next time Make runs, it would include it,
    then fail to parse it. Once this happens, 'make clean' is be the
    only way to fix it.

In fact, [1] is no longer a problem since commit 9c2af1c7 ("kbuild:
add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"). Make deletes a target file on
any failure in its recipe. Because fixdep is a part of the recipe of
*.o target, if it fails, the *.o is deleted anyway. However, I am a
bit worried about the slight possibility of [2].

So, here is a solution. Let fixdep directly write to a .*.cmd file,
but allow makefiles to include it only when its corresponding target
exists.

This effectively reverts commit 2982c953 ("kbuild: remove redundant
$(wildcard ...) for cmd_files calculation"), and commit 00d78ab2
("kbuild: remove dead code in cmd_files calculation in top Makefile")
because now we must check the presence of targets.

Please note $(filter-out FORCE,$^) does not work here. When a single

Non gcc-5 builds with CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y and
SKIP_STACK_VALIDATION=1 fail.
Example output:
  /bin/sh: init/.tmp_main.o: Permission denied

commit 96f60dfa ("trace: Use -mcount-record for dynamic ftrace"),
added a mismatched endif.  This causes cmd_objtool to get mistakenly
set.

Relocate endif to balance the newly added -record-mcount check.

gcc 5 supports a new -mcount-record option to generate ftrace
tables directly. This avoids the need to run record_mcount
manually.

Use this option when available.

So far doesn't use -mcount-nop, which also exists now.

This is needed to make ftrace work with LTO because the
normal record-mcount script doesn't run over the link
time output.

It should also improve build times slightly in the general
case.

CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX was selected by BLACKFIN, METAG.
They were removed by commit 4ba66a97 ("arch: remove blackfin port"),
commit bb6fb6df ("metag: Remove arch/metag/"), respectively.

No more architecture enables CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
Clean up the rest of scripts, and remove the Kconfig entry.

hence the -s (--symbol-prefix) option is unnecessary.
