[ Upstream commit 2b694fc96fe33a7c042e3a142d27d945c8c668b0 ]

When building the boot wrapper assembly files with clang after
commit 648a1783fe25 ("powerpc/boot: Fix boot wrapper code generation
with CONFIG_POWER10_CPU"), the following warnings appear for each file
built:

  '-prefixed' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)
  '-pcrel' is not a recognized feature for this target (ignoring feature)

While it is questionable whether or not LLVM should be emitting a
warning when passed negative versions of code generation flags when
building assembly files (since it does not emit a warning for the
altivec and vsx flags), it is easy enough to work around this by just
moving the disabled flags to BOOTCFLAGS after the assignment of
BOOTAFLAGS, so that they are not added when building assembly files.
Do so to silence the warnings.

[ Upstream commit abaa02fc944f2f9f2c2e1925ddaceaf35c48528c ]

Freescale PCIe controllers on their PCIe Root Ports do not have any
mappable PCI BAR allocate from PCIe MEM.

Information about 1MB window on BAR0 of PCIe Root Port was misleading
because Freescale PCIe controllers have at BAR0 position different register
PEXCSRBAR, and kernel correctly skipts BAR0 for these Freescale PCIe Root
Ports.

So update comment about P2020 PCIe Root Port and decrease PCIe MEM size
required for PCIe controller (pci2 node) on which is on-board xHCI
controller.

lspci confirms that on P2020 PCIe Root Port is no PCI BAR and /proc/iomem
sees that only c0000000-c000ffff and c0010000-c0011fff ranges are used.

commit 648a1783fe2551f5a091c9a5f8f463cb2cbf8745 upstream.

-mcpu=power10 will generate prefixed and pcrel code by default, which
we do not support. The general kernel disables these with cflags, but
those were missed for the boot wrapper.

commit ff7c76f66d8bad4e694c264c789249e1d3a8205d upstream.

When CONFIG_TARGET_CPU is specified then pass its value to the compiler
-mcpu option. This fixes following build error when building kernel with
powerpc e500 SPE capable cross compilers:

    BOOTAS  arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o
  powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-mcpu=powerpc’
  powerpc-linux-gnuspe-gcc: note: valid arguments to ‘-mcpu=’ are: 8540 8548 native
  make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:231: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1

Similar change was already introduced for the main powerpc Makefile in
commit 446cda1b21d9 ("powerpc/32: Don't always pass -mcpu=powerpc to the
compiler").

It looks like U-Boot fails to start the kernel properly when the

from the rev-a.dts.

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.

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.

<title>kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once</title>

Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.

When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.

However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.

To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:

[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
    include/generated/compile.h

    include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
    vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
    some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.

[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
    from init/version.c

    init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
    directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
    determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
    they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
    timestamp.
