Heiko Carstens c0a80c0c27 ftrace: allow architectures to specify ftrace compile options
If the kernel is compiled with function tracer support the -pg compile option
is passed to gcc to generate extra code into the prologue of each function.

This patch replaces the "open-coded" -pg compile flag with a CC_FLAGS_FTRACE
makefile variable which architectures can override if a different option
should be used for code generation.

Michal Marek 90ac086bca Makefile: include arch/*/include/generated/uapi before .../generated
The introduction of the uapi directories in v3.7-rc1 moved some of the
generated headers from arch/*/include/generated to the uapi directory,
keeping the #include directives intact.

This creates a problem when bisecting, because the unversioned files are
not cleaned automatically by git and the compiler might include stale
headers as a result.  Instead of cleaning them in the Makefiles, promote
arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the search path.  Under normal
circumstances, there is no overlap between this uapi subdirectory and
its parent, so the include choices remain the same.  We keep
arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the USERINCLUDE variable so that it is
usable standalone.

Note that we cannot completely swap the order of the uapi and
kernel-only directories, since the headers in include/uapi/asm-generic
are meant to be wrapped by their include/asm-generic counterparts when
building kernel code.

Michal Marek 223c24a7db kbuild: Automatically remove stale <linux/version.h> file
In 3.7, the file moved from include/linux/ to
include/generated/uapi/linux/. The path in the #include directive
remained the same for compatibility reasons, but this created a problem
when bisecting. Commit 9c8cdb71 (kbuild: unconditionally clobber
include/linux/version.h on distclean) fixes this, provided the user does
make distclean between builds. Better not rely on the user and delete
the stale file each time make is invoked.

Masahiro Yamada 371fdc77af kbuild: collect shorthands into scripts/Kbuild.include
The shorthand "clean" is defined in both the top Makefile and
scripts/Makefile.clean.  Likewise, the "hdr-inst" is defined in
both the top Makefile and scripts/Makefile.headersinst.

To reduce code duplication, this commit collects them into
scripts/Kbuild.include like the "build" and "modbuiltin" shorthands.
It requires scripts/Makefile.clean to include scripts/Kbuild.include,
but its impact on the performance of "make clean" should be
negligible.

Kirill A. Shutemov 51b97e354b kernel: use the gnu89 standard explicitly
Sasha Levin reports:
 "gcc5 changes the default standard to c11, which makes kernel build
  unhappy

  Explicitly define the kernel standard to be gnu89 which should keep
  everything working exactly like it was before gcc5"

There are multiple small issues with the new default, but the biggest
issue seems to be that the old - and very useful - GNU extension to
allow a cast in front of an initializer has gone away.

Patch updated by Kirill:
 "I'm pretty sure all gcc versions you can build kernel with supports
  -std=gnu89.  cc-option is redunrant.

  We also need to adjust HOSTCFLAGS otherwise allmodconfig fails for me"

Note by Andrew Pinski:
 "Yes it was reported and both problems relating to this extension has
  been added to gnu99 and gnu11.  Though there are other issues with the
  kernel dealing with extern inline have different semantics between
  gnu89 and gnu99/11"

End result: we may be able to move up to a newer stdc model eventually,
but right now the newer models have some annoying deficiencies, so the
traditional "gnu89" model ends up being the preferred one.

Bertrand Jacquin beb50df39e kbuild: handle module compression while running 'make modules_install'.
Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.

This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.

Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.

On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :

       |           time                |
       +-------------+-----------------+
       | manual .ko  |       make      | size | percent
       | compression | modules_install |      | gain
       +-------------+-----------------+------+--------
  -    |             |     18.61s      | 378M |
  GZIP |   3m16s     |     3m37s       | 102M | 73.41%
  XZ   |   5m22s     |     5m39s       |  77M | 79.83%

The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.

This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

Shuah Khan 5a5da78b3a kbuild: kselftest - new make target to build and run kernel selftests
Add a new make target "kselftest" to enable kernel testing. This
new target builds and runs kernel selftests. Running as root is
recommended for a complete test run as some tests don't run when
run by non-root user. Build, install, and boot kernel before
running kselftest on it.

Jiri Kosina 69102311a5 ./Makefile: tell gcc optimizer to never introduce new data races
We have been chasing a memory corruption bug, which turned out to be
caused by very old gcc (4.3.4), which happily turned conditional load
into a non-conditional one, and that broke correctness (the condition
was met only if lock was held) and corrupted memory.

This particular problem with that particular code did not happen when
never gccs were used.  I've brought this up with our gcc folks, as I
wanted to make sure that this can't really happen again, and it turns
out it actually can.

Quoting Martin Jambor <mjambor@suse.cz>:
 "More current GCCs are more careful when it comes to replacing a
  conditional load with a non-conditional one, most notably they check
  that a store happens in each iteration of _a_ loop but they assume
  loops are executed.  They also perform a simple check whether the
  store cannot trap which currently passes only for non-const
  variables.  A simple testcase demonstrating it on an x86_64 is for
  example the following:

  $ cat cond_store.c

  int g_1 = 1;

  int g_2[1024] __attribute__((section ("safe_section"), aligned (4096)));

  int c = 4;

  int __attribute__ ((noinline))
  foo (void)
  {
    int l;
    for (l = 0; (l != 4); l++) {
      if (g_1)
        return l;
      for (g_2[0] = 0; (g_2[0] >= 26); ++g_2[0])
        ;
    }
    return 2;
  }

  int main (int argc, char* argv[])
  {
    if (mprotect (g_2, sizeof(g_2), PROT_READ) == -1)
      {
        int e = errno;
        error (e, e, "mprotect error %i", e);
      }
    foo ();
    __builtin_printf("OK\n");
    return 0;
  }
  /* EOF */
  $ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=0
  $ ./a.out
  OK
  $ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=1
  $ ./a.out
  Segmentation fault

  The testcase fails the same at least with 4.9, 4.8 and 4.7.  Therefore
  I would suggest building kernels with this parameter set to zero. I
  also agree with Jikos that the default should be changed for -O2.  I
  have run most of the SPEC 2k6 CPU benchmarks (gamess and dealII
  failed, at -O2, not sure why) compiled with and without this option
  and did not see any real difference between respective run-times"

Hopefully the default will be changed in newer gccs, but let's force it
for kernel builds so that we are on a safe side even when older gcc are
used.

The code in question was out-of-tree printk-in-NMI (yeah, surprise
suprise, once again) patch written by Petr Mladek, let me quote his
comment from our internal bugzilla:

 "I have spent few days investigating inconsistent state of kernel ring buffer.
  It went out that it was caused by speculative store generated by
  gcc-4.3.4.

  The problem is in assembly generated for make_free_space(). The functions is
  called the following way:

  + vprintk_emit();
      + log = MAIN_LOG; // with logbuf_lock
         or
         log = NMI_LOG; // with nmi_logbuf_lock
         cont_add(log, ...);
          + cont_flush(log, ...);
              + log_store(log, ...);
                    + log_make_free_space(log, ...);

  If called with log = NMI_LOG then only nmi_log_* global variables are safe to
  modify but the generated code does store also into (main_)log_* global
  variables:

  It stores log_first_seq when edi == NMI_LOG. This instructions are used also
  when edi == MAIN_LOG but the store is done speculatively before the condition
  is decided.  It is unsafe because we do not have "logbuf_lock" in NMI context
  and some other process migh modify "log_first_seq" in parallel"

I believe that the best course of action is both

 - building kernel (and anything multi-threaded, I guess) with that
   optimization turned off
 - persuade gcc folks to change the default for future releases
