This is a re-commit of

  da05b143a308 ("x86/boot: Don't add the EFI stub to targets")

after the tagged patch incorrectly reverted it.

vmlinux-objs-y is added to targets, with an assumption that they are all
relative to $(obj); adding a $(objtree)/drivers/...  path causes the
build to incorrectly create a useless
arch/x86/boot/compressed/drivers/...  directory tree.

Fix this just by using a different make variable for the EFI stub.

<title>x86/boot: Address clang -Wimplicit-fallthrough in vsprintf()</title>

After enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough for the x86 boot code, clang
warns:

  arch/x86/boot/printf.c:257:3: warning: unannotated fall-through between switch labels [-Wimplicit-fallthrough]
    257 |                 case 'u':
        |                 ^

Clang is a little more pedantic than GCC, which does not warn when
falling through to a case that is just break or return. Clang's version
is more in line with the kernel's own stance in deprecated.rst, which
states that all switch/case blocks must end in either break,
fallthrough, continue, goto, or return. Add the missing break to silence
the warning.

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/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>

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).
