[ Upstream commit be40920fbf1003c38ccdc02b571e01a75d890c82 ]

When I tried to compile tools/perf from the top directory with the -C
option, the O= option didn't work correctly if I passed a relative path:

  $ make O=BUILD -C tools/perf/
  make: Entering directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  ../scripts/Makefile.include:4: *** O=/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/BUILD does not exist.  Stop.
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'

The O= directory existence check failed because the check script ran in
the build target directory instead of the directory where I ran the make
command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O= directory,
since the PWD is set to where the make command runs.

<title>Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b5d7d7d919f1708f2645739d37dc19747ac0ab5b</id>
<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.

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

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 objtool build with ARCH=x86_64</title>

<id>urn:sha1:60cbdf5d051d4f4db23d267d511ca241d4be7c0d</id>
<content type='text'>
The objtool build fails in a cross-compiled environment on a non-x86
host with "ARCH=x86_64":

  tools/objtool/objtool-in.o: In function `decode_instructions':
  tools/objtool/builtin-check.c:276: undefined reference to `arch_decode_instruction'

We could override the ARCH environment variable and change it back to
x86, similar to what the objtool Makefile was doing before; but it's
tricky to override environment variables consistently.

Instead, take a similar approach used by the Linux top-level Makefile
and introduce a SRCARCH Makefile variable which evaluates to "x86" when
ARCH is either "x86_64" or "x86".

As it is used by several other tools, better move it outside tools/perf.

After this patch other directories can use this architecture detector
without directly including it from perf's directory. Libbpf would
utilize it to get proper $(ARCH) so it can receive correct uapi include
directory.

<title>tools: Harmonize the various build messages in perf, lib-traceevent, lib-lk</title>

<id>urn:sha1:65fb09922d4ca5da54fe18d7b44e5961caf169ad</id>
<content type='text'>
The various build lines from libtraceevent and perf mix up during a
parallel build and produce unaligned output like:

    CC builtin-buildid-list.o
    CC builtin-buildid-cache.o
    CC builtin-list.o
  CC FPIC            trace-seq.o
    CC builtin-record.o
  CC FPIC            parse-filter.o
    CC builtin-report.o
    CC builtin-stat.o
  CC FPIC            parse-utils.o
  CC FPIC            kbuffer-parse.o
    CC builtin-timechart.o
    CC builtin-top.o
    CC builtin-script.o
  BUILD STATIC LIB   libtraceevent.a
    CC builtin-probe.o
    CC builtin-kmem.o
    CC builtin-lock.o

To solve this, harmonize all the build message alignments to be similar
to the kernel's kbuild output: prefixed by two spaces and 11-char wide.

After the patch the output looks pretty tidy, even if output lines get
mixed up:

  CC      builtin-annotate.o
  FLAGS:  * new build flags or cross compiler
  CC      builtin-bench.o
  AR      liblk.a
  CC      bench/sched-messaging.o
  CC FPIC event-parse.o
  CC      bench/sched-pipe.o
  CC FPIC trace-seq.o
  CC      bench/mem-memcpy.o
  CC      bench/mem-memset.o
  CC FPIC parse-filter.o
  CC      builtin-diff.o
  CC      builtin-evlist.o
  CC      builtin-help.o
