commit 87c4e1459e80bf65066f864c762ef4dc932fad4b upstream.

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.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/CACo-S-1qbCX4WAVFA63dWfHtrRHZBTyyr2js8Lx=Az03XHTTHg@mail.gmail.com/

<title>ARM: 9156/1: drop cc-option fallbacks for architecture selection</title>

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>ARM: 8961/2: Fix Kbuild issue caused by per-task stack protector GCC plugin</title>

commit 89604523a76eb3e13014b2bdab7f8870becee284 upstream.

When using plugins, GCC requires that the -fplugin= options precedes
any of its plugin arguments appearing on the command line as well.
This is usually not a concern, but as it turns out, this requirement
is causing some issues with ARM's per-task stack protector plugin
and Kbuild's implementation of $(cc-option).

When the per-task stack protector plugin is enabled, and we tweak
the implementation of cc-option not to pipe the stderr output of
GCC to /dev/null, the following output is generated when GCC is
executed in the context of cc-option:

  cc1: error: plugin arm_ssp_per_task_plugin should be specified before \
         -fplugin-arg-arm_ssp_per_task_plugin-tso=1 in the command line
  cc1: error: plugin arm_ssp_per_task_plugin should be specified before \
         -fplugin-arg-arm_ssp_per_task_plugin-offset=24 in the command line

These errors will cause any option passed to cc-option to be treated
as unsupported, which is obviously incorrect.

The cause of this issue is the fact that the -fplugin= argument is
added to GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS, whereas the arguments above are added
to KBUILD_CFLAGS, and the contents of the former get filtered out of
the latter before being passed to the GCC running the cc-option test,
and so the -fplugin= option does not appear at all on the GCC command
line.

Adding the arguments to GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS
would be the correct approach here, if it weren't for the fact that we
are using $(eval) to defer the moment that they are added until after
asm-offsets.h is generated, which is after the point where the contents
of GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS are added to KBUILD_CFLAGS. So instead, we have
to add our plugin arguments to both.

For similar reasons, we cannot append DISABLE_ARM_SSP_PER_TASK_PLUGIN
to KBUILD_CFLAGS, as it will be passed to GCC when executing in the
context of cc-option, whereas the other plugin arguments will have
been filtered out, resulting in a similar error and false negative
result as above. So add it to ccflags-y instead.

   exported symbols

<title>ARM: 8905/1: Emit __gnu_mcount_nc when using Clang 10.0.0 or newer</title>

Currently, multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER fails to build
with clang:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `_local_bh_enable':
softirq.c:(.text+0x504): undefined reference to `mcount'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `__local_bh_enable_ip':
softirq.c:(.text+0x58c): undefined reference to `mcount'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `do_softirq':
softirq.c:(.text+0x6c8): undefined reference to `mcount'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `irq_enter':
softirq.c:(.text+0x75c): undefined reference to `mcount'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o: in function `irq_exit':
softirq.c:(.text+0x840): undefined reference to `mcount'
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: kernel/softirq.o:softirq.c:(.text+0xa50): more undefined references to `mcount' follow

clang can emit a working mcount symbol, __gnu_mcount_nc, when
'-meabi gnu' is passed to it. Until r369147 in LLVM, this was
broken and caused the kernel not to boot with '-pg' because the
calling convention was not correct. Always build with '-meabi gnu'
when using clang but ensure that '-pg' (which is added with
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER and its prereq CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER)
cannot be added with it unless this is fixed (which means using
clang 10.0.0 and newer).

The stackframe setup when compiled with clang is different.
Since the stack unwinder expects the gcc stackframe setup it
fails to print backtraces. This patch adds support for the
clang stackframe setup.

This brings the secondary CPU into Linux. It depends on the setup
performed by ASPEED's u-boot.

<title>ARM: 8895/1: visit mach-* and plat-* directories when cleaning</title>

When you run "make clean" for arm, it never visits mach-* or plat-*
directories because machine-y and plat-y are just empty.

When cleaning, all machine, plat directories are accumulated to
machine-, plat-, respectively. So, let's pass them to core- to
clean up those directories.
