<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
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").

<title>tools build: Add tools tree support for 'make -s'</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e572d0887137acfc53f18175522964ec19d88175 upstream.

When doing a kernel build with 'make -s', everything is silenced except
the objtool build.  That's because the tools tree support for silent
builds is some combination of missing and broken.

Three changes are needed to fix it:

- Makefile: propagate '-s' to the sub-make's MAKEFLAGS variable so the
  tools Makefiles can see it.

- tools/scripts/Makefile.include: fix the tools Makefiles' ability to
  recognize '-s'.  The MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are copied from
  the top-level Makefile.  This silences the "DESCEND objtool" message.

- tools/build/Makefile.build: add support to the tools Build files for
  recognizing '-s'.  Again the MAKE_VERSION and MAKEFLAGS checks are
  copied from the top-level Makefile.  This silences all the object
  compile/link messages.

<title>tools build: Fix libiberty feature detection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3af6ed84eb43c587beb5f3252222e39e65d08c61</id>
<content type='text'>
Any CFLAGS or LDFLAGS set by the user need to be passed to the feature
build command.  This many include for example -I or -L to point to
libraries and include files in custom paths.

In most of the test-*.bin rules in build/feature/Makefile, we use the BUILD
macro which always sends in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  The libiberty build line
however doesn't use the BUILD macro and thus needs to send in CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS explicitly.  Without this, when using custom CFLAGS/LDFLAGS, libiberty
fails to be detected and the perf link fails with something like:

   LINK     perf
  libbfd.a(bfd.o): In function `bfd_errmsg':
  bfd.c:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to `xstrerror'
  bbfd.a(opncls.o): In function `_bfd_new_bfd':
  opncls.c:(.text+0xe8): undefined reference to `objalloc_create'
  ...

<title>perf tools: Make perf depend on libbpf</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed63f34c026e9a60d17fa750ecdfe3f600d49393</id>
<content type='text'>
By adding libbpf into perf's Makefile, this patch enables perf to build
libbpf if libelf is found and neither NO_LIBELF nor NO_LIBBPF is set.

The newly introduced code is similar to how libapi and libtraceevent
are wired into Makefile.perf.

MANIFEST is also updated for 'make perf-*-src-pkg'.

Append make_no_libbpf to tools/perf/tests/make.

The 'bpf' feature check is appended into default FEATURE_TESTS and
FEATURE_DISPLAY, so perf will check the API version of bpf in
/path/to/kernel/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h. Which should not fail except
when we are trying to port this code to an old kernel.

Error messages are also updated to notify users about the lack of BPF
support in 'perf record' if libelf is missing or the BPF API check
failed.

tools/lib/bpf is added to TAG_FOLDERS to allow us to navigate libbpf
files when working on perf using tools/perf/tags.

He Kuang the new fixdep tool breaks cross compiling. The reason is it
wouldn't get compiled under host arch, but under cross arch and failed
to run.

We need to add support for host side tools build, meanwhile disabling
fixdep usage for cross arch builds.

Adding the fixdep target into the Makefile.include to ease up building of

Making the fixdep helper to be invoked within dep-cmd.

Each user of the build framework needs to make sure fixdep exists before
executing the build itself.

If the build doesn't find fixdep, it falls back to the old style
dependency tracking.
