After building the VDSO, there is a verification that it contains
no dynamic relocation, see commit aff69273af61 ("vdso: Improve
cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations").

This verification uses readelf -r and doesn't work if rela sections
are discarded.

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and
profilers.

Remove redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV

  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV

I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel
space objects.

<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>

<id>b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

<title>powerpc/vdso: No need to undef powerpc for 64-bit build</title>

The vdso Makefile adds -U$(ARCH) to CPPFLAGS for the vdso64.lds linker
script. ARCH is always powerpc, so it becomes -Upowerpc, which means
undefine the "powerpc" symbol.

But the 64-bit compiler doesn't define powerpc in the first place,
compare:

  $ gcc-5.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc -m32 -E -dM - &lt;/dev/null | grep -w powerpc
  #define powerpc 1
  $ gcc-5.1.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc -m64 -E -dM - &lt;/dev/null | grep -w powerpc
  $

So there's no need to undefine it for the 64-bit linker script.

A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing.
When that occurs, the following error appears when building the compat
PowerPC vDSO:

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for building the kernel using PC-relative addressing on
   Power10.

 - Allow HV KVM guests on Power10 to use prefixed instructions.

 - Unify support for the P2020 CPU (85xx) into a single machine
   description.

 - Always build the 64-bit kernel with 128-bit long double.

 - Drop support for several obsolete 2000's era development boards as
   identified by Paul Gortmaker.

 - A series fixing VFIO on Power since some generic changes.

 - Various other small features and fixes.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add support for building the kernel using PC-relative addressing on
   Power10.

 - Allow HV KVM guests on Power10 to use prefixed instructions.

 - Unify support for the P2020 CPU (85xx) into a single machine
   description.

 - Always build the 64-bit kernel with 128-bit long double.

 - Drop support for several obsolete 2000's era development boards as
   identified by Paul Gortmaker.

 - A series fixing VFIO on Power since some generic changes.

 - Various other small features and fixes.

This macro is to be used in assembly where C functions are called.
pcrel addressing mode requires branches to functions with a
localentry value of 1 to have either a trailing nop or @notoc.
This macro permits the latter without changing callers.
