arch/sh/Makefile defines and exports ld-bfd to be used by
arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile and arch/sh/boot/romimage/Makefile.
However some shells, including dash, will not pass through environment
variables whose name includes a hyphen.  Usually GNU make does not use
a shell to recurse, but if e.g. $(srctree) contains '~' it will use a
shell here.

Other instances of this problem were previously fixed by commits
2bfbe7881ee0 "kbuild: Do not use hyphen in exported variable name"
and 82977af93a0d "sh: rename suffix-y to suffix_y".

Rename the variable to ld_bfd.

 - Avoid 'constexpr', which is a keyword in C23

 - Allow 'dtbs_check' and 'dt_compatible_check' run independently of
   'dt_binding_check'

 - Fix weak references to avoid GOT entries in position-independent code
   generation

 - Convert the last use of 'optional' property in arch/sh/Kconfig

 - Remove support for the 'optional' property in Kconfig

 - Remove support for Clang's ThinLTO caching, which does not work with
   the .incbin directive

 - Change the semantics of $(src) so it always points to the source
   directory, which fixes Makefile inconsistencies between upstream and
   downstream

 - Fix 'make tar-pkg' for RISC-V to produce a consistent package

 - Provide reasonable default coverage for objtool, sanitizers, and
   profilers

 - Remove redundant OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc.

 - Remove the last use of tristate choice in drivers/rapidio/Kconfig

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/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - 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.

<id>7ce7e984ab2b218d6e92d5165629022fe2daf9ee</id>
<content type='text'>
GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size
of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel)
exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's
trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}.
Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended
size data is only useful for the decompressors.

There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored.
In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data.
That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op.

To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames
the existing macros as follows:

  cmd_bzip2   --&gt; cmd_bzip2_with_size
  cmd_lzma    --&gt; cmd_lzma_with_size
  cmd_lzo     --&gt; cmd_lzo_with_size
  cmd_lz4     --&gt; cmd_lz4_with_size
  cmd_xzkern  --&gt; cmd_xzkern_with_size
  cmd_zstd22  --&gt; cmd_zstd22_with_size

To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles
accordingly:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile

I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce
the compressed data in the proper format.

I did not touch the following:

  arch/arc/boot/Makefile
  arch/arm64/boot/Makefile
  arch/csky/boot/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/Makefile
  arch/riscv/boot/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/Makefile
  kernel/Makefile

This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data.

I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile.

'export suffix-y' does not work reliably because hyphens are disallowed
in shell variables.

A similar issue was fixed by commit 2bfbe7881ee0 ("kbuild: Do not use
hyphen in exported variable name").

If I do similar in dash, ARCH=sh fails to build.

  $ mv linux linux~
  $ cd linux~
  $ dash
  $ make O=foo/bar ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu- defconfig all
  make[1]: Entering directory '/home/masahiro/linux~/foo/bar'
    [ snip ]
  make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/sh/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.', needed by 'arch/sh/boot/compressed/piggy.o'.  Stop.
  make[3]: *** [/home/masahiro/linux~/arch/sh/boot/Makefile:40: arch/sh/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
  make[2]: *** [/home/masahiro/linux~/arch/sh/Makefile:194: zImage] Error 2
  make[1]: *** [/home/masahiro/linux~/Makefile:350: __build_one_by_one] Error 2
  make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/masahiro/linux~/foo/bar'
  make: *** [Makefile:219: __sub-make] Error 2

The maintainer of GNU Make stated that there is no consistent way to
export variables that do not meet the shell's naming criteria.

Consequently, you cannot use hyphens in exported variables.

<title>sh: boot: avoid unneeded rebuilds under arch/sh/boot/compressed/</title>

Even if none of source code is updated, the following are every time
rebuilt:

  CC      arch/sh/boot/compressed/cache.o
  SHIPPED arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashiftrt.S
  AS      arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashiftrt.o
  SHIPPED arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashldi3.c
  CC      arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashldi3.o
  SHIPPED arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashrsi3.S
  AS      arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashrsi3.o
  SHIPPED arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashlsi3.S
  AS      arch/sh/boot/compressed/ashlsi3.o
  SHIPPED arch/sh/boot/compressed/lshrsi3.S
  AS      arch/sh/boot/compressed/lshrsi3.o
  LD      arch/sh/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  OBJCOPY arch/sh/boot/zImage

Add build artifacts to 'targets' as needed.

I turned the library files to check-in files. It is simpler than
copying from arch/sh/lib/ at build-time.
