Add a new command cpp_its_S introduced in commit cf2a5e0bb4c6 ("MIPS:
Support generating Flattened Image Trees (.itb)") to ksym_dep_filter
handler - otherwise a warning is produced during the build of MIPS
platforms (when vmlinux.*.itb target is chosen).

The gcc-plugins arguments should not be included when performing
cc-option tests.

Steps to reproduce:
1) make mrproper
2) make defconfig
3) enable GCC_PLUGINS, GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
4) enable FUNCTION_TRACER (it will select other options as well)
5) make &amp;&amp; make modules

Build errors:

When building with separate object directories and driver specific
Makefiles that add additional header include paths, Kbuild adjusts
the gcc flags so that we include both the directory in the source
tree and in the object tree.

However, due to another bug I fixed earlier, this did not actually
include the correct directory in the object tree, so we know that
we only really need the source tree here. Also, including the
object tree sometimes causes warnings about nonexisting directories
when the include path only exists in the source.

This changes the logic to only emit the -I argument for the srctree,
not for objects. We still need both $(srctree)/$(src) and $(obj)
though, so I'm adding them manually.

When we build with O=objdir and objdir is directly below the source tree,
$(srctree) becomes '..'.

When a Makefile adds a CFLAGS option like -Ipath/to/headers and
we are building with a separate object directory, Kbuild tries to
add two -I options, one for the source tree and one for the object
tree. An absolute path is treated as a special case, and don't add
this one twice. This also normally catches -I$(srctree)/$(src)
as $(srctree) usually is an absolute directory like /home/arnd/linux/.

The combination of the two behaviors however results in an invalid
path name to be included: we get both ../$(src) and ../../$(src),
the latter one pointing outside of the source tree, usually to a
nonexisting directory. Building with 'make W=1' makes this obvious:

cc1: error: ../../arch/arm/mach-s3c24xx/include: No such file or directory [-Werror=missing-include-dirs]

This adds another special case, treating path names starting with ../
like those starting with / so we don't try to prefix that with
$(srctree).

<title>kbuild: fix if_change and friends to consider argument order</title>

<id>9c8fa9bc08f60ac657751daba9fccf828a36cfed</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, arg-check is implemented as follows:

  arg-check = $(strip $(filter-out $(cmd_$(1)), $(cmd_$@)) \
                      $(filter-out $(cmd_$@),   $(cmd_$(1))) )

This does not care about the order of arguments that appear in
$(cmd_$(1)) and $(cmd_$@).  So, if_changed and friends never rebuild
the target if only the argument order is changed.  This is a problem
when the link order is changed.

Apparently,

  obj-y += foo.o
  obj-y += bar.o

and

  obj-y += bar.o
  obj-y += foo.o

should be distinguished because the link order determines the probe
order of drivers.  So, built-in.o should be rebuilt when the order
of objects is changed.

This commit fixes arg-check to compare the old/current commands
including the argument order.

Of course, this change has a side effect; Kbuild will react to the
change of compile option order.  For example, "-DFOO -DBAR" and
"-DBAR -DFOO" should give no difference to the build result, but
false positive should be better than false negative.

I am moving space_escape to the top of Kbuild.include just for a
matter of preference.  In practical terms, space_escape can be
defined after arg-check because arg-check uses "=" flavor, not ":=".
Having said that, collecting convenient variables in one place makes
sense from the point of readability.

Chaining "%%%SPACE%%%" to "_-_SPACE_-_" is also a matter of taste
at this point.  Actually, it can be arbitrary as long as it is an
unlikely used string.  The only problem I see in "%%%SPACE%%%" is
that "%" is a special character in "$(patsubst ...)" context.  This
commit just uses "$(subst ...)" for arg-check, but I am fixing it now
in case we might want to use it in $(patsubst ...) context in the
future.

<title>kbuild: fix ksym_dep_filter when multiple EXPORT_SYMBOL() on the same line</title>

In kernel/cgroup.c there is:

    #define SUBSYS(_x)                                             \
        DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_enabled_key);    \
        DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_on_dfl_key);     \
        EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_enabled_key);         \
        EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_x ## _cgrp_subsys_on_dfl_key);

The expansion of this macro causes multiple EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() instances
to appear on the same preprocessor line output, confusing the sed script
expecting only one of them per line.  Unfortunately this can't be fixed
nicely in the sed script as sed's regexp can't do non greedy matching.

Fix this by turning any semicolon into a line break before filtering.

<title>kbuild: add fine grained build dependencies for exported symbols</title>

<id>c1a95fda2a40ae8c7aad3fa44fa7718a3710eb2d</id>
<content type='text'>
Like with kconfig options, we now have the ability to compile in and
out individual EXPORT_SYMBOL() declarations based on the content of
include/generated/autoksyms.h.  However we don't want the entire
world to be rebuilt whenever that file is touched.

Let's apply the same build dependency trick used for CONFIG_* symbols
where the time stamp of empty files whose paths matching those symbols
is used to trigger fine grained rebuilds. In our case the key is the
symbol name passed to EXPORT_SYMBOL().

However, unlike config options, we cannot just use fixdep to parse
the source code for EXPORT_SYMBOL(ksym) because several variants exist
and parsing them all in a separate tool, and keeping it in synch, is
not trivially maintainable.  Furthermore, there are variants such as

	EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_user_read_config_##size);

that are instanciated via a macro for which we can't easily determine
the actual exported symbol name(s) short of actually running the
preprocessor on them.

Storing the symbol name string in a special ELF section doesn't work
for targets that output assembly or preprocessed source.

So the best way is really to leverage the preprocessor by having it
output actual symbol names anchored by a special sequence that can be
easily filtered out. Then the list of symbols is simply fed to fixdep
to be merged with the other dependencies.

That implies the preprocessor is executed twice for each source file.
A previous attempt relied on a warning pragma for each EXPORT_SYMBOL()
instance that was filtered apart from stderr by the build system with
a sed script during the actual compilation pass. Unfortunately the
preprocessor/compiler diagnostic output isn't stable between versions
and this solution, although more efficient, was deemed too fragile.

Because of the lowercasing performed by fixdep, there might be name
collisions triggering spurious rebuilds for similar symbols. But this
shouldn't be a big issue in practice. (This is the case for CONFIG_*
symbols and I didn't want to be different here, whatever the original
reason for doing so.)

To avoid needless build overhead, the exported symbol name gathering is
performed only when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is selected.

The generation and postprocessing of automatic dependency rules is
duplicated in rule_cc_o_c, rule_as_o_S and if_changed_dep. Since
this is not a trivial one-liner action, it is now abstracted under
cmd_and_fixdep to simplify things and make future changes in this area
easier.

In the rule_cc_o_c and rule_as_o_S cases that means the order of some
commands has been altered, namely fixdep and related file manipulations
are executed earlier, but they didn't depend on those commands that now
execute later.

<title>kbuild: suppress annoying "... is up to date." message</title>

Under certain conditions, Kbuild shows "... is up to date" where
if_changed or friends are used.

For example, the incremental build of ARM64 Linux shows this message
when the kernel image has not been updated.

  $ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
    CHK     include/config/kernel.release
    CHK     include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
    CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
    CHK     include/generated/bounds.h
    CHK     include/generated/timeconst.h
    CHK     include/generated/asm-offsets.h
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    CHK     include/generated/compile.h
    CHK     kernel/config_data.h
  make[1]: `arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz' is up to date.
    Building modules, stage 2.
    MODPOST 0 modules

The following is the build rule in arch/arm64/boot/Makefile:

  $(obj)/Image.gz: $(obj)/Image FORCE
          $(call if_changed,gzip)

If the Image.gz is newer than the Image and the command line has not
changed (i.e., $(any-prereq) and $(arg-check) are both empty), the
build rule $(call if_changed,gzip) is evaluated to be empty, then
GNU Make reports the target is up to date.  In order to make GNU Make
quiet, we need to give it something to do, for example, "@:".  This
should be fixed in the Kbuild core part rather than in each Makefile.
