Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

<content type='text'>
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

<title>sparc: share process creation helpers between sparc and sparc64</title>

<content type='text'>
As promised in the previous patch, this moves the process creation
helpers into a common process.c file that is shared between sparc and
sparc64. It allows us to get rid of quite a bit custom assembler and the
to remove the separe 32bit specific sparc_do_fork() call.

One thing to note, is that when clone() was called with a separate stack
for the child the assembler would align it. But copy_thread() has always
been doing that too so that line wasn't needed and can thus simply be
removed.

<title>jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".

The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:

  #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) &amp;&amp; defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
  # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
  #endif

We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.

Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

<content type='text'>
Most mainstream architectures are using 65536 entries, so lets stick to
that.  If someone is really desperate to override it that can still be
done through &lt;asm/dma-mapping.h&gt;, but I'd rather see a really good
rationale for that.

dma_debug_init is now called as a core_initcall, which for many
architectures means much earlier, and provides dma-debug functionality
earlier in the boot process.  This should be safe as it only relies
on the memory allocator already being available.

ADI feature on M7 and newer processors has three important properties
relevant to userspace apps using ADI capabilities - (1) Size of block of
memory an ADI version tag applies to, (2) Number of uppermost bits in
virtual address used to encode ADI tag, and (3) The value M7 processor
will force the ADI tags to if it detects uncorrectable error in an ADI
tagged cacheline. Kernel can retrieve these properties for a platform
through machine description provided by the firmware. This patch adds
code to retrieve these properties and report them to userspace through
auxiliary vectors.

<id>urn:sha1:9a08862a5d2e266ecea1865547463da2745fc687</id>
<content type='text'>
Following patch is based on work done by Nick Alcock on 64-bit vDSO for sparc
in Oracle linux. I have extended it to include support for 32-bit vDSO for sparc
on 64-bit kernel.

vDSO for sparc is based on the X86 implementation. This patch
provides vDSO support for both 64-bit and 32-bit programs on 64-bit kernel.
vDSO will be disabled on 32-bit linux kernel on sparc.

*) vclock_gettime.c contains all the vdso functions. Since data page is mapped
   before the vdso code page, the pointer to data page is got by subracting offset
   from an address in the vdso code page. The return address stored in
   %i7 is used for this purpose.
*) During compilation, both 32-bit and 64-bit vdso images are compiled and are
   converted into raw bytes by vdso2c program to be ready for mapping into the
   process. 32-bit images are compiled only if CONFIG_COMPAT is enabled. vdso2c
   generates two files vdso-image-64.c and vdso-image-32.c which contains the
   respective vDSO image in C structure.
*) During vdso initialization, required number of vdso pages are allocated and
   raw bytes are copied into the pages.
*) During every exec, these pages are mapped into the process through
   arch_setup_additional_pages and the location of mapping is passed on to the
   process through aux vector AT_SYSINFO_EHDR which is used by glibc.
*) A new update_vsyscall routine for sparc is added to keep the data page in
   vdso updated.
*) As vDSO cannot contain dynamically relocatable references, a new version of
   cpu_relax is added for the use of vDSO.

This change also requires a putback to glibc to use vDSO. For testing,
programs planning to try vDSO can be compiled against the generated
vdso(64/32).so in the source.

Testing:

========
[root@localhost ~]# cat vdso_test.c
int main() {
        struct timespec tv_start, tv_end;
        struct timeval tv_tmp;
	int i;

        diff += (tv_end.tv_nsec - tv_start.tv_nsec);
	printf("Start sec: %d\n", tv_start.tv_sec);
	printf("End sec  : %d\n", tv_end.tv_sec);
        printf("%d cycles in %lld ns = %f ns/cycle\n", count, diff,

V1 to V2 Changes:
=================
	Added hot patching code to switch the read stick instruction to read
tick instruction based on the hardware.

V2 to V3 Changes:
=================
	Merged latest changes from sparc-next and moved the initialization
of clocksource_tick.archdata.vclock_mode to time_init_early. Disabled
queued spinlock and rwlock configuration when simulating 32-bit config
to compile 32-bit VDSO.

V3 to V4 Changes:
=================
	Hardcoded the page size as 8192 in linker script for both 64-bit and
32-bit binaries. Removed unused variables in vdso2c.h. Added -mv8plus flag to
Makefile to prevent the generation of relocation entries for __lshrdi3 in 32-bit
vdso binary.
