<content type='text'>
The compiler is smart enough to insert a call to memset() in
riscv_vdso_get_cpus(), which generates a dynamic relocation.

So prevent this by using -fno-builtin option.

The vdso.so.dbg is a debug version of vdso and could be used for debugging
purpose. For example, perf-annotate requires debugging info to show source
lines. So let's keep its debugging info.

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/vdso32-setup.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

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

<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).

Such relocation causes crash of android linker similar to one
described in commit e05d57dcb8c7
("riscv: Fixup __vdso_gettimeofday broke dynamic ftrace").

Looks like this relocation is added by CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE which is
disabled in the default android kernel.

Before:

readelf -rW arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so:

Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0xd00 contains 1 entry:

There are no relocations in this file.

Introduce the first flag for the hwprobe syscall. The flag basically
reverses its behavior, i.e. instead of populating the values of keys
for a given set of cpus, the set of cpus after the call is the result
of finding a set which supports the values of the keys. In order to
do this, we implement a pair compare function which takes the type of
value (a single value vs. a bitmask of booleans) into consideration.
We also implement vdso support for the new flag.

The "count" parameter associated with the 'cpus' parameter of the
hwprobe syscall is the size in bytes of 'cpus'. Naming it 'cpu_count'
may mislead users (it did me) to think it's the number of CPUs that
are or can be represented by 'cpus' instead. This is particularly
easy (IMO) to get wrong since 'cpus' is documented to be defined by
CPU_SET(3) and CPU_SET(3) also documents a CPU_COUNT() (the number
of CPUs in set) macro. CPU_SET(3) refers to the size of cpu sets
with 'setsize'. Adopt 'cpusetsize' for the hwprobe parameter and
specifically state it is in bytes in Documentation/riscv/hwprobe.rst
to clarify.

<title>arch: vdso: consolidate gettime prototypes</title>

The VDSO functions are defined as globals in the kernel sources but intended
to be called from userspace, so there is no need to declare them in a kernel
side header.

Without a prototype, this now causes warnings such as

arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:14:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:28:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:36:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_getres' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:42:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime64' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:254:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:282:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:307:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding
declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should
really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs
64-bit variant and use that everywhere.

Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible
since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit
userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't
easily test it and it requires a larger rework.
