cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree
FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This
assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The
label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file.
Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the
kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the
following:

bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:'

bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'

Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file
name to underscores when constructing the labels.

As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC
contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests
on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files
are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y,
or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it
admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a
separate issue).

<title>kasan: don't emit builtin calls when sanitization is off</title>

<content type='text'>
With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset).  KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required.  For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.

The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code.  They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.

The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.

Pull Kconfig updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "A pretty big batch of Kconfig updates.

  I have to mention the lexer and parser of Kconfig are now built from
  real .l and .y sources. So, flex and bison are the requirement for
  building the kernel. Both of them (unlike gperf) have been stable for
  a long time. This change has been tested several weeks in linux-next,
  and I did not receive any problem report about this.

  Summary:

   - add checks for mistakes, like the choice default is not in choice,
     help is doubled

   - document data structure and complex code

   - fix various memory leaks

   - change Makefile to build lexer and parser instead of using
     pre-generated C files

   - drop 'boolean' keyword, which is equivalent to 'bool'

   - use default 'yy' prefix and remove unneeded Make variables

   - fix gettext() check for xconfig

   - announce that oldnoconfig will be finally removed

   - make 'Selected by:' and 'Implied by' readable in help and search
     result

   - hide silentoldconfig from 'make help' to stop confusing people

   - fix misc things and cleanups"

<title>kbuild: fix W= option checks for extra DTC warnings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f759625ad270898efdf8c153c74021a8a919312b</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild supports 3 levels of extra warnings, and multiple levels can
be combined, like W=12, W=123.  It was added by commit a6de553da01c
("kbuild: Allow to combine multiple W= levels").

From the log of commit 8654cb8d0371 ("dtc: update warning settings
for new bus and node/property name checks"), I assume:

 - unit_address_vs_reg, simple_bus_reg, etc. belong to level 1
 - node_name_chars_strict, property_name_chars_strict belong to level 2

However, the level 1 warnings are displayed by any argument to W=.
On the other hand, the level 2 warnings are displayed by W=2, but
not by W=12, or W=123.

Use $(findstring ...) like scripts/Makefile.extrawarn.

Kconfig was the only user of these.  With Kconfig converted to use
the default 'yy' prefix, we do not need them any more.

<title>kbuild: prepare to remove C files pre-generated by flex and bison</title>

<id>urn:sha1:033dba2ec06c47a9fe1b190bc3281058fb20738d</id>
<content type='text'>
In Linux build system convention, pre-generated files are version-
controlled with a "_shipped" suffix.  During the kernel building,
they are simply shipped (copied) removing the suffix.

This approach can reduce external tool dependency for the kernel build,
but it is tedious to manually regenerate such artifacts from developers'
point of view.  (We need to do "make REGENERATE_PARSERS=1" every time
we touch real source files such as *.l, *.y)

Some months ago, I sent out RFC patches to run flex, bison, and gperf
during the build.

In the review and test, Linus noticed gperf-3.1 had changed the lookup
function prototype.  Then, the use of gperf in kernel was entirely
removed by commit bb3290d91695 ("Remove gperf usage from toolchain").

This time, I tested several versions of flex and bison, and I was not
hit by any compatibility issue except a flaw in flex-2.6.3; if you
generate lexer for dtc and genksyms with flex-2.6.3, you will see
"yywrap redefined" warning.  This was not intentional, but a bug,
fixed by flex-2.6.4.  Otherwise, both flex and bison look fairly
stable for a long time.

This commit prepares some build rules to remove the _shipped files.
Also, document minimal requirement for flex and bison.

Rationale for the minimal version:
The -Wmissing-prototypes option of GCC warns "no previous prototype"
for lexers generated by flex-2.5.34 or older, so I chose 2.5.35 as the
required version for flex.  Flex-2.5.35 was released in 2008.  Bison
looks more stable.  I did not see any problem with bison-2.0, released
in 2004.  I did not test bison-1.x, but bison-2.0 should be old enough.

Tested flex versions:
  2.5.35
  2.5.36
  2.5.37
  2.5.39
  2.6.0
  2.6.1
  2.6.2
  2.6.3   (*)
  2.6.4

 (*) flex-2.6.3 causes "yywrap redefined" warning

Tested bison versions:
  2.0
  2.1
  2.2
  2.3
  2.4
  2.4.1
  2.5.1
  2.6
  2.6.1
  2.6.2
  2.6.3
  2.6.4
  2.6.5
  2.7
  2.7.1
  3.0
  3.0.1
  3.0.2
  3.0.3

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
 "One of the most remarkable improvements in this cycle is, Kbuild is
  now able to cache the result of shell commands. Some variables are
  expensive to compute, for example, $(call cc-option,...) invokes the
  compiler. It is not efficient to redo this computation every time,
  even when we are not actually building anything. Kbuild creates a
  hidden file ".cache.mk" that contains invoked shell commands and their
  results. The speed-up should be noticeable.

  Summary:

   - Fix arch build issues (hexagon, sh)

   - Clean up various Makefiles and scripts

   - Fix wrong usage of {CFLAGS,LDFLAGS}_MODULE in arch Makefiles

   - Cache variables that are expensive to compute

For the out-of-tree build, scripts/Makefile.build creates output
directories, but this operation is not efficient.

scripts/Makefile.lib calculates obj-dirs as follows:

  obj-dirs := $(dir $(multi-objs) $(obj-y))

Please notice $(sort ...) is not used here.  Usually the result is
as many "./" as objects here.

For a lot of duplicated paths, the following command is invoked.

  _dummy := $(foreach d,$(obj-dirs), $(shell [ -d $(d) ] || mkdir -p $(d)))

Then, the costly shell command is run over and over again.

I see many points for optimization:

[1] Use $(sort ...) to cut down duplicated paths before passing them
    to system call
[2] Use single $(shell ...) instead of repeating it with $(foreach ...)
    This will reduce forking.
[3] We can calculate obj-dirs more simply.  Most of objects are already
    accumulated in $(targets).  So, $(dir $(targets)) is fine and more
    comprehensive.

I also removed ugly code in arch/x86/entry/vdso/Makefile.  This is now
really unnecessary.
