Pull Kbuild fixes from Masahiro Yamada:

When CROSS_COMPILE is set (e.g. aarch64-linux-gnu-), if
$(CROSS_COMPILE)elfedit is found at /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-elfedit,
GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR will be set to /usr/bin/. --prefix= will be set to
/usr/bin/ and Clang as of 11 will search for both
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu-$needle and $(prefix)$needle.
GCC searchs for $(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$version/$needle,
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle and $(prefix)$needle. In practice,
$(prefix)aarch64-linux-gnu/$needle rarely contains executables.
To better model how GCC's -B/--prefix takes in effect in practice, newer
Clang (since
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/3452a0d8c17f7166f479706b293caf6ac76ffd90)
only searches for $(prefix)$needle. Currently it will find /usr/bin/as
instead of /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-as.
Set --prefix= to $(GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(notdir $(CROSS_COMPILE))
(/usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-) so that newer Clang can find the
appropriate cross compiling GNU as (when -no-integrated-as is in
effect).

Programs added 'userprogs' should be compiled for the target
architecture i.e. the same architecture as the kernel.
GCC does this correctly since the target architecture is implied
by the toolchain prefix.
Clang builds userspace programs always for the host architecture
because the target triple is currently missing.
Fix this.

This reverts commit e0b250b57dcf403529081e5898a9de717f96b76b,
which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain
path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'.
$ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied
Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed
make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1
While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change
in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install"
can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas
originally suggested.
Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.

In addition to -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern (used by
CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL now) Clang also supports zero initialization for
locals enabled by -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero. The future of this flag
is still being debated (see https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45497).
Right now it is guarded by another flag,
-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang,
which means it may not be supported by future Clang releases. Another
possible resolution is that -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero will persist
(as certain users have already started depending on it), but the name
of the guard flag will change.
In the meantime, zero initialization has proven itself as a good
production mitigation measure against uninitialized locals. Unlike pattern
initialization, which has a higher chance of triggering existing bugs,
zero initialization provides safe defaults for strings, pointers, indexes,
and sizes. On the other hand, pattern initialization remains safer for
return values. Chrome OS and Android are moving to using zero
initialization for production builds.
Performance-wise, the difference between pattern and zero initialization
is usually negligible, although the generated code for zero
initialization is more compact.
This patch renames CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL to CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN
and introduces another config option, CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO, that
enables zero initialization for locals if the corresponding flags are
supported by Clang.

Commit
10e68b02c861 ("Makefile: support compressed debug info")
added support for compressed debug sections.
Support is detected by checking
- does the compiler support -gz=zlib
- does the assembler support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib
- does the linker support --compressed-debug-sections=zlib
However, the gcc driver's support for this option is somewhat
convoluted. The driver's builtin specs are set based on the version of
binutils that it was configured with. It reports an error if the
configure-time linker/assembler (i.e., not necessarily the actual
assembler that will be run) do not support the option, but only if the
assembler (or linker) is actually invoked when -gz=zlib is passed.
The cc-option check in scripts/Kconfig.include does not invoke the
assembler, so the gcc driver reports success even if it does not support
the option being passed to the assembler.
Because the as-option check passes the option directly to the assembler
via -Wa,--compressed-debug-sections=zlib, the gcc driver does not see
this option and will never report an error.
Combined with an installed version of binutils that is more recent than
the one the compiler was built with, it is possible for all three tests
to succeed, yet an actual compilation with -gz=zlib to fail.
Moreover, it is unnecessary to explicitly pass
--compressed-debug-sections=zlib to the assembler via -Wa, since the
driver will do that automatically when it supports -gz=zlib.
Convert the as-option to just -gz=zlib, simplifying it as well as
performing a better test of the gcc driver's capabilities.

Redefine GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP variables as KGZIP, KBZIP2, KLZOP resp.
GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP env variables are reserved by the tools. The original
attempt to redefine them internally doesn't work in makefiles/scripts
intercall scenarios, e.g., "make GZIP=gzip bindeb-pkg" and results in
broken builds. There can be other broken build commands because of this,
so the universal solution is to use non-reserved env variables for the
compression tools.

Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools,
such as pigz, pbzip2, pxz. For example, multi-threaded tools to
speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2
Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env
vars are reserved by the tools. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete
since 2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) still rely
on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent.
The credit goes to @grsecurity.
As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use:
$ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0"

Many applications check for available kernel features via:
- /proc/modules (loaded modules, present if CONFIG_MODULES=y)
- $(MODLIB)/modules.builtin (builtin modules)
They fail to detect features if the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODULES=n
and modules.builtin isn't installed.
Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and
"modules_install" depend on it.
Tests results:
- make install: kernel image is copied as before, modules.builtin copied
- make modules_install: (CONFIG_MODULES=n) nothing is copied, exit 1

If modpost fails to load a symbol dump file, it cannot check unresolved
symbols, hence module dependency will not be added. Nor CRCs can be added.
Currently, external module builds check only $(objtree)/Module.symvers,
but it should check files specified by KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS as well.
Move the warning message from the top Makefile to scripts/Makefile.modpost
and print the warning if any dump file is missing.

The full build runs modpost twice, first for vmlinux.o and second for
modules.
The first pass dumps all the vmlinux symbols into Module.symvers, but
the second pass parses vmlinux again instead of reusing the dump file,
presumably because it needs to avoid accumulating stale symbols.
Loading symbol info from a dump file is faster than parsing an ELF object.
Besides, modpost deals with various issues to parse vmlinux in the second
pass.
A solution is to make the first pass dumps symbols into a separate file,
vmlinux.symvers. The second pass reads it, and parses module .o files.
The merged symbol information is dumped into Module.symvers in the same
way as before.
This makes further modpost cleanups possible.
Also, it fixes the problem of 'make vmlinux', which previously overwrote
Module.symvers, throwing away module symbols.
I slightly touched scripts/link-vmlinux.sh so that vmlinux is re-linked
when you cross this commit. Otherwise, vmlinux.symvers would not be
generated.

Make modules.order depend on $(obj-m), and use if_changed to build it.
This will avoid unneeded update of modules.order, which will be useful
to optimize the modpost stage.
Currently, the second pass of modpost is always invoked. By checking the
timestamp of modules.order, we can avoid the unneeded modpost.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.
Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support
Branch Target Identification (BTI):
- Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.
- Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.
- BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
- Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
- Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.
Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
- Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
- Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
- Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.
- SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
CPU feature detection:
- Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.
- Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
Hardware errata:
- Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
- Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
- Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
- Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
- Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
- Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
Pointer authentication:
- Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
- Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
BPF backend:
- Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
vDSO:
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
ACPI:
- Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
the "num_ids" field.
- Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
root complexes.
- Minor other IORT-related fixes.
Miscellaneous:
- Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
deadlock.
- Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).
- Refactoring and cleanup"

As debug information gets larger and larger, it helps significantly save
the size of vmlinux images to compress the information in the debug
information sections. Note: this debug info is typically split off from
the final compressed kernel image, which is why vmlinux is what's used
in conjunction with GDB. Minimizing the debug info size should have no
impact on boot times, or final compressed kernel image size.
All of the debug sections will have a `C` flag set.

$(firstword ...) in scripts/Makefile.modpost was added by commit
3f3fd3c05585 ("[PATCH] kbuild: allow multi-word $M in Makefile.modpost")
to build multiple external module directories.
It was a solution to resolve symbol dependencies when an external
module depends on another external module.
Commit 0d96fb20b7ed ("kbuild: Add new Kbuild variable
KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS") introduced another solution by passing symbol
info via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, then broke the multi-word M= support.
include $(if $(wildcard $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild), \
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Kbuild, $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Makefile)
... does not work if KBUILD_EXTMOD contains multiple words.
This feature has been broken for more than a decade. Remove the
bitrotten code, and stop parsing if M or KBUILD_EXTMOD contains
multiple words.
As Documentation/kbuild/modules.rst explains, if your module depends
on another one, there are two solutions:
- add a common top-level Kbuild file
- use KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS

I think all the warnings have been fixed by now. Make it a fatal error.
Check it before modpost because we need to stop building *.ko files.
Also, pass modules.order via a script parameter.

Some targets are internal-use only.
It is tedious to care about "what if __build_one_by_one is contained
in $(MAKECMDGOALS)?" etc.
Prefix internal targets with double underscores. Stop parsing Makefile
if they are directly run.

Merge {CLEAN,MRPROPER,DISTCLEAN}_DIRS into {CLEAN,MRPROPER,DISTCLEAN}_FILES
because the difference is just the -r option passed to the 'rm' command.
Do likewise as commit 1634f2bfdb84 ("kbuild: remove clean-dirs syntax").

This comment was added by commit ("kbuild: Restore build nr, improve
vmlinux link") [1].
It was talking about if_changed_rule at that time. Now, it is unclear
what to fix.

If include/generated/autoconf.h is accidentally lost somehow,
there is no clear way to fix it. Make it self-healing.

Kbuild supports the infrastructure to build host programs, but there
was no support to build userspace programs for the target architecture
(i.e. the same architecture as the kernel).
Sam Ravnborg worked on this in 2014 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/154),
but it was not merged. One problem at that time was, there was no good way
to know whether $(CC) can link standalone programs. In fact, pre-built
kernel.org toolchains [1] are often used for building the kernel, but they
do not provide libc.
Now, we can handle this cleanly because the compiler capability is
evaluated at the Kconfig time. If $(CC) cannot link standalone programs,
the relevant options are hidden by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'.
The implementation just mimics scripts/Makefile.host
The userspace programs are compiled with the same flags as the host
programs. In addition, it uses -m32 or -m64 if it is found in
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS).
This new syntax has two usecases.
- Sample programs
Several userspace programs under samples/ include UAPI headers
installed in usr/include. Most of them were previously built for
the host architecture just to use the 'hostprogs' syntax.
However, 'make headers' always works for the target architecture.
This caused the arch mismatch in cross-compiling. To fix this
distortion, sample code should be built for the target architecture.
- Bpfilter
net/bpfilter/Makefile compiles bpfilter_umh as the user mode helper,
and embeds it into the kernel. Currently, it overrides HOSTCC with
CC to use the 'hostprogs' syntax. This hack should go away.

This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack,
which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being
overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html
Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading
and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack
control flow by modifying the stacks.
