Since commit 251cc826be7d ("ARM: 9154/1: decompressor: do not copy source
files while building"), the following three are rebuilt every time.

  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/ashldi3.o
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/bswapsdi2.o

Move the "OBJS += ..." line up so these objects are added to 'targets'.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
 "Updates for IRQ stacks and virtually mapped stack support, and ftrace:

   - Support for IRQ and vmap'ed stacks

     This covers all the work related to implementing IRQ stacks and
     vmap'ed stacks for all 32-bit ARM systems that are currently
     supported by the Linux kernel, including RiscPC and Footbridge. It
     has been submitted for review in four different waves:

      - IRQ stacks support for v7 SMP systems [0]

      - vmap'ed stacks support for v7 SMP systems[1]

      - extending support for both IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks for all
        remaining configurations, including v6/v7 SMP multiplatform
        kernels and uniprocessor configurations including v7-M [2]

      - fixes and updates in [3]

   - ftrace fixes and cleanups

     Make all flavors of ftrace available on all builds, regardless of
     ISA choice, unwinder choice or compiler [4]:

      - use ADD not POP where possible

      - fix a couple of Thumb2 related issues

      - enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST for robustness

      - enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder

      - avoid clobbering frame pointer registers to make Clang happy

   - Fixes for the above"

<id>urn:sha1:7ce7e984ab2b218d6e92d5165629022fe2daf9ee</id>
<content type='text'>
GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size
of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel)
exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's
trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}.
Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended
size data is only useful for the decompressors.

There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored.
In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data.
That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op.

To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames
the existing macros as follows:

  cmd_bzip2   --&gt; cmd_bzip2_with_size
  cmd_lzma    --&gt; cmd_lzma_with_size
  cmd_lzo     --&gt; cmd_lzo_with_size
  cmd_lz4     --&gt; cmd_lz4_with_size
  cmd_xzkern  --&gt; cmd_xzkern_with_size
  cmd_zstd22  --&gt; cmd_zstd22_with_size

To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles
accordingly:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile

I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce
the compressed data in the proper format.

I did not touch the following:

  arch/arc/boot/Makefile
  arch/arm64/boot/Makefile
  arch/csky/boot/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/Makefile
  arch/riscv/boot/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/Makefile
  kernel/Makefile

This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data.

I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile.

As commit 7ae4a78daacf ("ARM: 8969/1: decompressor: simplify libfdt
builds") stated, copying source files during the build time may not
end up with as clean code as expected.

Do similar for the other library files for further cleanups of the
Makefile and .gitignore.

<content type='text'>
Enabling the stack protector in the decompressor is of dubious value,
given that it uses a fixed value for the canary, cannot print any output
unless CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is enabled (which relies on board specific build
time settings), and is already disabled for a good chunk of the code
(libfdt).

So let's just disable it in the decompressor. This will make it easier
in the future to manage the command line options that would need to be
removed again in this context for the TLS register based stack
protector.

<id>urn:sha1:b30d0289de72c62516df03fdad8d53f552c69839</id>
<content type='text'>
The merge_fdt_bootargs() function by definition consumes more than 1024
bytes of stack because it has a 1024 byte command line on the stack,
meaning that we always get a warning when building this file:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c: In function 'merge_fdt_bootargs':
arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c:98:1: warning: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

However, as this is the decompressor and we know that it has a very shallow
call chain, and we do not actually risk overflowing the kernel stack
at runtime here.

This just shuts up the warning by disabling the warning flag for this
file.

Tested on Nexus 7 2012 builds.

Kbuild cleans up files listed in 'targets'.

'piggy_data' is already added to 'targets' a few lines above.

Adding it to 'clean-files' is redundant.
