commit 51b563fc93c8cb5bff1d67a0a71c374e4a4ea049 upstream.

Albin Tonnerre &lt;albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com&gt; reported:

    Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
    This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
    This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
    build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
    or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)

Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.

This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.

Notes for the different architectures touched:

arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
       [Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
       Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
       the linker script.
       [Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
          [not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
         [not build tested]

This patch also makes the frame pointer default to y only if
!ARM_UNWIND. LOCKDEP no longer selects FRAME_POINTER if ARM_UNWIND is

Add support for detecting non-executable stack binaries, and adjust
permissions to prevent execution from data and stack areas.  Also,
ensure that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is enabled for older CPUs where that
is true, and for any executable-stack binary.

This patch adds the ARCH=arm specific a kgdb backend, originally
written by Deepak Saxena &lt;dsaxena@plexity.net&gt; and George Davis
&lt;gdavis@mvista.com&gt;.  Geoff Levand &lt;geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com&gt;,
Nicolas Pitre, Manish Lachwani, and Jason Wessel have contributed
various fixups here as well.

The KGDB patch makes one change to the core ARM architecture such that
the traps are initialized early for use with the debugger or other
subsystems.
