commit b2e1c26f0b62531636509fbcb6dab65617ed8331 upstream.

glibc recently did a sync up (94e73c95d9b5 "elf.h: Sync with the gabi
webpage") that added a #define for EM_METAG but did not add relocations

This triggers build errors:

scripts/recordmcount.c: In function 'do_file':
scripts/recordmcount.c:466:28: error: 'R_METAG_ADDR32' undeclared (first use in this function)
  case EM_METAG:  reltype = R_METAG_ADDR32;
                            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
scripts/recordmcount.c:466:28: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
scripts/recordmcount.c:468:20: error: 'R_METAG_NONE' undeclared (first use in this function)
     rel_type_nop = R_METAG_NONE;
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~

Work around this change with some more #ifdefery for the relocations.

commit c8b08ca558c0067bc9e15ce3f1e70af260410bb2 upstream.

mkspec is copying built kernel to temporrary location

	/boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm

and runs installkernel on it. This however directly leads to grub2
menuentry for this suffixed binary being generated as well during the run
of installkernel script.

Later in the process the temporary -rpm suffixed files are removed, and
therefore we end up with spurious (and non-functional) grub2 menu entries
for each installed kernel RPM.

Fix that by using a different temporary name (prefixed by '.'), so that
the binary is not recognized as an actual kernel binary and no menuentry
is created for it.

commit a78f70e8d65e88b9f631d073f68cb26dcd746298 upstream.

The reference files use spaces to separate tokens, however, we must
preserve spaces inside string literals. Currently the only case in the
tree is struct edac_raw_error_desc in &lt;linux/edac.h&gt;:

$ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes
$ mv drivers/edac/amd64_edac.{symtypes,symref}
$ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes

recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when
using ccache in hardlink mode.  Arrange for recordmcount to break a
hardlinked object.

commit 72214a24a7677d4c7501eecc9517ed681b5f2db2 upstream.

In Python3+ print is a function so the old syntax is not correct
anymore:

  $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.o vmlinux.o.old
    File "./scripts/bloat-o-meter", line 61
      print "add/remove: %s/%s grow/shrink: %s/%s up/down: %s/%s (%s)" % \
                                                                     ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Fix by calling print as a function.

In nop_mcount, shdr-&gt;sh_offset and welp-&gt;r_offset should handle
endianness properly, otherwise it will trigger Segmentation fault

<title>scripts/recordmcount.pl: support data in text section on powerpc</title>

commit 2e50c4bef77511b42cc226865d6bc568fa7f8769 upstream.

If a text section starts out with a data blob before the first
function start label, disassembly parsing doing in recordmcount.pl
gets confused on powerpc, leading to creation of corrupted module
objects.

This was not a problem so far since the compiler would never create
such text sections.  However, this has changed with a recent change
in GCC 6 to support distances of &gt; 2GB between a function and its
assoicated TOC in the ELFv2 ABI, exposing this problem.

There is already code in recordmcount.pl to handle such data blobs
on the sparc64 platform.  This patch uses the same method to handle
those on powerpc as well.
