"xargs echo" is not a safe way to remove line breaks because the input
may exceed the command line limit and xargs may break it up into
multiple invocations of echo. This should never happen because
scripts/gen_autoksyms.sh expects all undefined symbols are placed in
the second line of .mod files.

One possible way is to replace "xargs echo" with
"sed ':x;N;$!bx;s/\n/ /g'" or something, but I rewrote the code by
using awk because it is more readable.

This issue was reported by Sami Tolvanen; in his Clang LTO patch set,
$(multi-used-m) is no longer an ELF object, but a thin archive that
contains LLVM bitcode files. llvm-nm prints out symbols for each
archive member separately, which results a lot of dupications, in some
places, beyond the system-defined limit.

This problem must be fixed irrespective of LTO, and we must ensure
zero possibility of having this issue.

This change removes all instances of DISABLE_LTO from
Makefiles, as they are currently unused, and the preferred
method of disabling LTO is to filter out the flags instead.

Note added by Masahiro Yamada:
DISABLE_LTO was added as preparation for GCC LTO, but GCC LTO was
not pulled into the mainline. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

The conditional:

  ifneq ($(hostprogs),)

... is evaluated to true if $(hostprogs) does not contain any word but
whitespace characters.

  ifneq ($(strip $(hostprogs)),)

... is a safe way to avoid interpreting whitespace as a non-empty value,
but I'd rather want to use the side-effect of $(sort ...) to do the
equivalent.

$(sort ...) is used in scripts/Makefile.host in order to drop duplication
in $(hostprogs). It is also useful to strip excessive spaces.

Move $(sort ...) before evaluating the ifneq.

The host shared library rules are currently implemented in
scripts/Makefile.host, but actually GCC-plugin is the only user of
them. (The VDSO .so files are built for the target by different
build rules) Hence, they do not need to be treewide available.

Move all the relevant build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile.

I also optimized the build steps so *.so is directly built from .c
because every upstream plugin is compiled from a single source file.

I am still keeping the multi-file plugin support, which Kees Cook
mentioned might be needed by out-of-tree plugins.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/11/1107)

If the plugin, foo.so, is compiled from two files foo.c and foo2.c,
then you can do like follows:

  foo-objs := foo.o foo2.o

Single-file plugins do not need the *-objs notation.

Currently, the directories of objects are automatically created
only for O= builds.

It should not hurt to cater to this for in-tree builds too.

Since the pre-git time the checker is run first, before the compiler.
But if the source file contains some syntax error, the warnings from
the compiler are more useful than those from sparse (and other
checker most probably too).

So move the 'check' command to run after the compiler.

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.

Remove lib-target, builtin-target, modorder-target, and modtargets.

Instead, add targets-for-builtin and targets-for-modules.

built-in.a contains the built-in object paths from the current and sub
directories.

module.order collects the module paths from the current and sub
directories.

Make their build rules look more symmetrical.

I think subdir-builtin is clearer.

While I was here, I made its build rule explicit.
