Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.18-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild

2022-03-31T18:59:03+00:00

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Add new environment variables, USERCFLAGS and USERLDFLAGS to allow
   additional flags to be passed to user-space programs.

 - Fix missing fflush() bugs in Kconfig and fixdep

 - Fix a minor bug in the comment format of the .config file

 - Make kallsyms ignore llvm's local labels, .L*

 - Fix UAPI compile-test for cross-compiling with Clang

 - Extend the LLVM= syntax to support LLVM= form for using a
   particular version of LLVm, and LLVM= form for using custom
   LLVM in a particular directory path.

 - Clean up Makefiles

* tag 'kbuild-v5.18-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
  kbuild: Make $(LLVM) more flexible
  kbuild: add --target to correctly cross-compile UAPI headers with Clang
  fixdep: use fflush() and ferror() to ensure successful write to files
  arch: syscalls: simplify uapi/kapi directory creation
  usr/include: replace extra-y with always-y
  certs: simplify empty certs creation in certs/Makefile
  certs: include certs/signing_key.x509 unconditionally
  kallsyms: ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'
  kconfig: fix missing '# end of' for empty menu
  kconfig: add fflush() before ferror() check
  kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)
  kbuild: Add environment variables for userprogs flags
  kbuild: unify cmd_copy and cmd_shipped

arch: syscalls: simplify uapi/kapi directory creation

2022-03-31T03:03:46+00:00

$(shell ...) expands to empty. There is no need to assign it to _dummy.

x86: Remove toolchain check for X32 ABI capability

2022-03-15T09:32:48+00:00

Commit 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than error if
binutils too old") added a small test in arch/x86/Makefile because
binutils 2.22 or newer is needed to properly support elf32-x86-64. This
check is no longer necessary, as the minimum supported version of
binutils is 2.23, which is enforced at configuration time with
scripts/min-tool-version.sh.

Remove this check and replace all uses of CONFIG_X86_X32 with
CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI, as two symbols are no longer necessary.

[nathan: Rebase, fix up a few places where CONFIG_X86_X32 was still
         used, and simplify commit message to satisfy -tip requirements]

compat: remove some compat entry points

2021-09-08T22:32:35+00:00

These are all handled correctly when calling the native system call entry
point, so remove the special cases.

exit/bdflush: Remove the deprecated bdflush system call

2021-07-12T20:17:47+00:00

The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time.
Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known
caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal.

Since the code is not needed delete it.
