commit f62700ce63a315b4607cc9e97aa15ea409a677b9 upstream.

selftests/bpf/Makefile includes tools/scripts/Makefile.include.
With the following command
  make -j60 LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1  &lt;=== compile kernel
  make -j60 -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 V=1
some files are still compiled with gcc. This patch
fixed the case if CC/AR/LD/CXX/STRIP is allowed to be
overridden, it will be written to clang/llvm-ar/..., instead of
gcc binaries. The definition of CC_NO_CLANG is also relocated
to the place after the above CC is defined.

commit c8a950d0d3b926a02c7b2e713850d38217cec3d1 upstream.

Several Makefiles in tools/ need to define the host toolchain variables.
Move their definition to tools/scripts/Makefile.include

<title>bpftool: Introduce "prog profile" command</title>

<id>urn:sha1:47c09d6a9f6794caface4ad50930460b82d7c670</id>
<content type='text'>
With fentry/fexit programs, it is possible to profile BPF program with
hardware counters. Introduce bpftool "prog profile", which measures key
metrics of a BPF program.

bpftool prog profile command creates per-cpu perf events. Then it attaches
fentry/fexit programs to the target BPF program. The fentry program saves
perf event value to a map. The fexit program reads the perf event again,
and calculates the difference, which is the instructions/cycles used by
the target program.

Example input and output:

  ./bpftool prog profile id 337 duration 3 cycles instructions llc_misses

        4228 run_cnt
     3403698 cycles                                              (84.08%)
     3525294 instructions   #  1.04 insn per cycle               (84.05%)
          13 llc_misses     #  3.69 LLC misses per million isns  (83.50%)

This command measures cycles and instructions for BPF program with id
337 for 3 seconds. The program has triggered 4228 times. The rest of the
output is similar to perf-stat. In this example, the counters were only
counting ~84% of the time because of time multiplexing of perf counters.

Note that, this approach measures cycles and instructions in very small
increments. So the fentry/fexit programs introduce noticeable errors to
the measurement results.

The fentry/fexit programs are generated with BPF skeletons. Therefore, we
build bpftool twice. The first time _bpftool is built without skeletons.
Then, _bpftool is used to generate the skeletons. The second time, bpftool
is built with skeletons.

<title>tools: Let O= makes handle a relative path with -C option</title>

<id>urn:sha1:be40920fbf1003c38ccdc02b571e01a75d890c82</id>
<content type='text'>
When I tried to compile tools/perf from the top directory with the -C
option, the O= option didn't work correctly if I passed a relative path:

  $ make O=BUILD -C tools/perf/
  make: Entering directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  ../scripts/Makefile.include:4: *** O=/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/BUILD does not exist.  Stop.
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'

The O= directory existence check failed because the check script ran in
the build target directory instead of the directory where I ran the make
command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O= directory,
since the PWD is set to where the make command runs.

Fixes: c883122acc0d ("perf tools: Let O= makes handle relative paths")

As it is too strict, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/28/253 and
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html, that takes into account
Linus's comments (search for Wshadow) for the reasoning about -Wshadow
not being interesting before gcc 4.8.

<title>Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9564a8cf422d7b58f6e857e3546d346fa970191e</id>
<content type='text'>
I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but
already the objtool build broke with

orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’:
orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
  if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &amp;nr_sections)) {

Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp
didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and
-DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS.

Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file:

  * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
    Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation
    no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes:
    thus a call such as:
      foo := $(shell echo '#')
    is legal.  Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example:
      foo := $(shell echo '\#')
    Now this latter will resolve to "\#".  If you want to write makefiles
    portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable:
      C := \#
      foo := $(shell echo '$C')
    This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason.
    To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable.

This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound)
rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need
similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains
the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the
new make.

<title>arch: remove tile port</title>

<content type='text'>
The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.

There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.

Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

<title>tools: fix cross-compile var clobbering</title>
<updated>2018-02-21T23:35:42Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://universe.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel/commit/?id=7ed1c1901fe52e6c5828deb155920b44b0adabb1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:7ed1c1901fe52e6c5828deb155920b44b0adabb1</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently a number of Makefiles break when used with toolchains that
pass extra flags in CC and other cross-compile related variables (such
as --sysroot).

Thus we get this error when we use a toolchain that puts --sysroot in
the CC var:

  ~/src/linux/tools$ make iio
  [snip]
  iio_event_monitor.c:18:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
    #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
             ^~~~~~~~~~

This occurs because we clobber several env vars related to
cross-compiling with lines like this:

  CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc

Although this will point to a valid cross-compiler, we lose any extra
flags that might exist in the CC variable, which can break toolchains
that rely on them (for example, those that use --sysroot).

This easily shows up using a Yocto SDK:

  $ . [snip]/sdk/environment-setup-cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CC
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard
  -mcpu=cortex-a8
  --sysroot=[snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

  $ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
  arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

  $ echo ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc
  krm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc

Although arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc is a cross-compiler, we've lost the
--sysroot and other flags that enable us to find the right libraries to
link against, so we can't find unistd.h and other libraries and headers.
Normally with the --sysroot flag we would find unistd.h in the sdk
directory in the sysroot:

  $ find [snip]/sdk/sysroots -path '*/usr/include/unistd.h'
  [snip]/sdk/sysroots/cortexa8hf-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/unistd.h

The perf Makefile adds CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc if and only if CC is not
already set, and it compiles correctly with the above toolchain.

So, generalize the logic that perf uses in the common Makefile and
remove the manual CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc lines from each Makefile.

Note that this patch does not fix cross-compile for all the tools (some
have other bugs), but it does fix it for all except usb and acpi, which
still have other unrelated issues.

I tested both with and without the patch on native and cross-build and
there appear to be no regressions.

Create two targets to remove executable and documentation that would
have been previously installed with `make install` and `make
doc-install`.

Also create a "QUIET_UNINST" helper in tools/scripts/Makefile.include.

Do not attempt to remove directories /usr/local/sbin and
/usr/share/bash-completions/completions, even if they are empty, as
those specific directories probably already existed on the system before
we installed the program, and we do not wish to break other makefiles
that might assume their existence. Do remvoe /usr/local/share/man/man8
if empty however, as this directory does not seem to exist by default.
