commit a0d1c951ef08ed24f35129267e3595d86f57f5d3 upstream.
As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.
Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.
Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.
We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43
Some items discussed, but not adopted:
- LLVM_DIR
When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.
CC = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
LD = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
...
However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
this.
- LLVM_SUFFIX
Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.
CC = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
LD = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
...
will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
/usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

commit 7e20e47c70f810d678d02941fa3c671209c4ca97 upstream.
The 'AS' variable is unused for building the kernel. Only the remaining
usage is to turn on the integrated assembler. A boolean flag is a better
fit for this purpose.
AS=clang was added for experts. So, I replaced it with LLVM_IAS=1,
breaking the backward compatibility.

This patch removes the need of subdir-y. Now all files/directories under
arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ are exported.
The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make
headers_install_all': directories asm-<arch> are replaced by arch-<arch>/.
Those new directories contains all files/directories of the specified arch.
Note that only cris and tile have more directories than only asm:
- arch-v[10|32] for cris;
- arch for tile.

Originally, generated-y and genhdr-y had different meaning, like
follows:
- generated-y: generated headers (other than asm-generic wrappers)
- header-y : headers to be exported
- genhdr-y : generated headers to be exported (generated-y + header-y)
Since commit fcc8487d477a ("uapi: export all headers under uapi
directories"), headers under UAPI directories are all exported.
So, there is no more difference between generated-y and genhdr-y.
We see two users of genhdr-y, arch/{arm,x86}/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild.
They generate some headers in arch/{arm,x86}/include/generated/uapi/asm
directories, which are obviously exported.
Replace them with generated-y, and abolish genhdr-y.

Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.
In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.
After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
exported (with make headers_install_all):

Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside
generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories.
Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the
purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen
hypercalls.
This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale
wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing
these headers which are generated separately.

scripts/Makefile.clean: clean also $(extra-m) and $(extra-)
'headers_install.txt' from Documentation/make/ is related to Kbuild
so it must be moved in Documentation/kbuild/ directory.
As Documentation/make/ directory has only one file, it will be removed
as a consequence of moving 'headers_install.txt'.

The shared library feature in Makefile.host is no longer used.
Rip it off to keep the build infrastucture simple.
Update Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt too.
The section "4.3 Definition shared libraries" should be removed
and the following sections should be re-numbered.

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.
However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.
To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

Previously, it was possible to have more than one symbol with the
'option modules' attached to them, although only the last one would
in fact control tristates.
Since this does not make much sense, only allow at most one symbol to
control tristates.
Note: it is still possible to have more than one symbol that control
tristates, but indirectly:
config MOD1
bool "mod1"
select MODULES
config MOD2
bool "mod2"
select MODULES
config MODULES
bool
option modules

Re-phrase the explanations on the sorting of search results, in a more
concise and complete way.
Drop reference to the user's locale when sorting alphabetically, since
this is implicit.

When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance.
Sorting is done as thus:
- first, symbols that match exactly
- then, alphabetical sort
Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol
matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we
fallback to alphabeticall sort.
Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.

- drop the previous, complex heuristic in favour of a simpler heuristic
that is both easier to understand, *and* to maintain (Jean)
- explain sorting heuristic in the doc (Jean)
Ever since commit 45f035ab9b ("CONFIG_HOTPLUG should be always on"),
it has been basically impossible to build a kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG
turned off. Remove all the remaining references to it.

Pull misc kbuild updates from Michal Marek:
"Non-critical kbuild changes:
- make coccicheck improvements, but no new semantic patches this time
- make rpm improvements
- make tar-pkg change to include the architecture in the filename.
This is a deliberate incompatibility, but nobody has complained so
far and it is useful if you build for different architectures. It
also matches what the deb-pkg and rpm-pkg targets produce.
- kbuild documentation fix"

Currently the odds to set each symbol is (rounded):
booleans: y: 50% n: 50%
tristates: y: 33% m: 33% n: 33%
Introduce a KCONFIG_PROBABILITY environment variable to tweak the
probabilities (in percentage), as such:
KCONFIG_PROBABILITY y:n split yⓂ️n split
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[1] unset or empty 50 : 50 33 : 33 : 34
[2] N N : 100-N N/2 : N/2 : 100-N
N:M N+M : 100-(N+M) N : M : 100-(N+M)
N:M:L N : 100-N M : L : 100-(M+L)

For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the
seed to use to seed the RNG.
Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to
the seed to use:
$ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
$ sha1sum .config
70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config
$ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
$ sha1sum .config
70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config
It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.

The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because
the command
$(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO"
does not create object file!
I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler
and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact
but the results are the same.
EXAMPLE:
$ rm /tmp/1.o
$ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done
$ ls -la /tmp/1.o
ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory
We can easily fix the problem by adding
the '-x c' compiler option.
EXAMPLE:
$ rm /tmp/1.o
$ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
$ ls -la /tmp/1.o
-rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr 2 20:40 /tmp/1.o
Also fix wrong ld-option example.

Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek:
"I forgot to send a pull request in time for the v3.8-rc1 merge window,
so the list is a bit longer this time:
- menuconfig enables extended colors in ncurses if the wide-character
version is used.
- CONFIG_ prefix can be specified in the environment to make life
easier for people using kconfig multiple times in a single tree (no
functional change in the kernel kconfig usage).
- kconfig aborts on OOM.
- inputboxes in menuconfig allow to move the cursor.
- menuconfig has Save/Load buttons now.
- xconfig build fix with new g++ and Qt3.
- nconfig color scheme fix and help text update.
- make oldconfig prints newlines when output is redirected.
- some other minor fixes."
