commit 9feeb638cde083c737e295c0547f1b4f28e99583 upstream.

In 2016 GNU Make made a backwards incompatible change to the way '#'
characters were handled in Makefiles when used inside functions or
macros:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c6966b323811c37acedff05b57

Due to this change, when attempting to run `make prepare' I get a
spurious make syntax error:

    /home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool/.fixdep.o.cmd:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

When inspecting `.fixdep.o.cmd' it includes two lines which use
unescaped comment characters at the top:

    \# cannot find fixdep (/home/earnest/linux/tools/objtool//fixdep)
    \# using basic dep data

This is because `tools/build/Build.include' prints these '\#'
characters:

    printf '\# cannot find fixdep (%s)\n' $(fixdep) &gt; $(dot-target).cmd; \
    printf '\# using basic dep data\n\n' &gt;&gt; $(dot-target).cmd;           \

This completes commit 9564a8cf422d ("Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files
for future Make").

commit 9564a8cf422d7b58f6e857e3546d346fa970191e upstream.

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.

commit 9fb523363f6e3984457fee95bb7019395384ffa7 upstream.

Some Atom CPUs can produce FUP packets that contain NLIP (next linear
instruction pointer) instead of CLIP (current linear instruction
pointer).  That will result in "Unexpected indirect branch" errors. Fix
by comparing IP to NLIP in that case.

commit dd27b87ab5fcf3ea1c060b5e3ab5d31cc78e9f4c upstream.

On some platforms, overflows will clear before MTC wraparound, and there
is no following TSC/TMA packet. In that case the previous TMA is valid.
Since there will be a valid TMA either way, stop setting 'have_tma' to
false upon overflow.

commit dbcb82b93f3e8322891e47472c89e63058b81e99 upstream.

sync_switch is a facility to synchronize decoding more closely with the
point in the kernel when the context actually switched.

In one case, INTEL_PT_SS_NOT_TRACING state was not correctly
transitioning to INTEL_PT_SS_TRACING state due to a missing case clause.
Add it.

With the recent sync with objtool from 4.14.y, the objtool .gitignore
file was forgotten.  Fix that up now to properly handle the change in
where the autogenerated files live.
