commit c8a950d0d3b926a02c7b2e713850d38217cec3d1 upstream.

Several Makefiles in tools/ need to define the host toolchain variables.
Move their definition to tools/scripts/Makefile.include

<title>kbuild: support LLVM=1 to switch the default tools to Clang/LLVM</title>

<id>urn:sha1:62353048e2d4e398cfc22dbee3e1a7f6f535dcc1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a0d1c951ef08ed24f35129267e3595d86f57f5d3 upstream.

As Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst implies, building the kernel with a
full set of LLVM tools gets very verbose and unwieldy.

Provide a single switch LLVM=1 to use Clang and LLVM tools instead
of GCC and Binutils. You can pass it from the command line or as an
environment variable.

Please note LLVM=1 does not turn on the integrated assembler. You need
to pass LLVM_IAS=1 to use it. When the upstream kernel is ready for the
integrated assembler, I think we can make it default.

We discussed what we need, and we agreed to go with a simple boolean
flag that switches both target and host tools:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/28/494
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/3/43

Some items discussed, but not adopted:

- LLVM_DIR

  When multiple versions of LLVM are installed, I just thought supporting
  LLVM_DIR=/path/to/my/llvm/bin/ might be useful.

  CC      = $(LLVM_DIR)clang
  LD      = $(LLVM_DIR)ld.lld
    ...

  However, we can handle this by modifying PATH. So, we decided to not do
  this.

- LLVM_SUFFIX

  Some distributions (e.g. Debian) package specific versions of LLVM with
  naming conventions that use the version as a suffix.

  CC      = clang$(LLVM_SUFFIX)
  LD      = ld.lld(LLVM_SUFFIX)
    ...

  will allow a user to pass LLVM_SUFFIX=-11 to use clang-11 etc.,
  but the suffixed versions in /usr/bin/ are symlinks to binaries in
  /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin/, so this can also be handled by PATH.

<title>objtool: Fix ARCH=x86_64 build error</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a4f6948e57f02359dfacccabe35179d65e17fcb7</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8580bed7e751e6d4f17881e059daf3cb37ba4717 ]

Building objtool with ARCH=x86_64 fails with:

   $make ARCH=x86_64 -C tools/objtool
   ...
     CC       arch/x86/decode.o
   arch/x86/decode.c:10:22: fatal error: asm/insn.h: No such file or directory
    #include &lt;asm/insn.h&gt;
                         ^
   compilation terminated.
   mv: cannot stat ‘arch/x86/.decode.o.tmp’: No such file or directory
   make[2]: *** [arch/x86/decode.o] Error 1
   ...

The root cause is that the command-line variable 'ARCH' cannot be
overridden.  It can be replaced by 'SRCARCH', which is defined in
'tools/scripts/Makefile.arch'.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Improved kbprobes robustness

   - Intel PEBS support for PT hardware tracing

   - Other Intel PT improvements: high order pages memory footprint
     reduction and various related cleanups

   - Misc cleanups

  The perf tooling side has been very busy in this cycle, with over 300
  commits. This is an incomplete high-level summary of the many
  improvements done by over 30 developers:

   - Lots of updates to the following tools:

      'perf c2c'
      'perf config'
      'perf record'
      'perf report'
      'perf script'
      'perf test'
      'perf top'
      'perf trace'

   - Updates to libperf and libtraceevent, and a consolidation of the
     proliferation of x86 instruction decoder libraries.

   - Vendor event updates for Intel and PowerPC CPUs,

   - Updates to hardware tracing tooling for ARM and Intel CPUs,

   - ... and lots of other changes and cleanups - see the shortlog and
     Git log for details"

If the build user has the CFLAGS variable set in their environment,
objtool blindly appends to it, which can cause unexpected behavior.

Clobber CFLAGS to ensure consistent objtool compilation behavior.

<content type='text'>
The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder.  Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel.  So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable.  However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.

<title>objtool: Allow AR to be overridden with HOSTAR</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8ea58f1e8b11cca3087b294779bf5959bf89cc10</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, this Makefile hardcodes GNU ar, meaning that if it is not
available, there is no way to supply a different one and the build will
fail.

  $ make AR=llvm-ar CC=clang LD=ld.lld HOSTAR=llvm-ar HOSTCC=clang \
         HOSTLD=ld.lld HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld defconfig modules_prepare
  ...
    AR       /out/tools/objtool/libsubcmd.a
  /bin/sh: 1: ar: not found
  ...

Follow the logic of HOST{CC,LD} and allow the user to specify a
different ar tool via HOSTAR (which is used elsewhere in other
tools/ Makefiles).
