To enable the new Clang randstruct implementation[1], move
randstruct into its own Makefile and split the CFLAGS from
GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS into RANDSTRUCT_CFLAGS.

<content type='text'>
This change removes all instances of DISABLE_LTO from
Makefiles, as they are currently unused, and the preferred
method of disabling LTO is to filter out the flags instead.

Note added by Masahiro Yamada:
DISABLE_LTO was added as preparation for GCC LTO, but GCC LTO was
not pulled into the mainline. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

ld's --build-id defaults to "sha1" style, while lld defaults to "fast".
The build IDs are very different between the two, which may confuse
programs that reference them.

<title>kbuild: remove cc-option test of -fno-stack-protector</title>

<id>urn:sha1:893ab00439a45513cae55781fc8e3b7108ee1cda</id>
<content type='text'>
Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.

No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.

GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)

Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.

Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.

Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

<title>sparc,x86: vdso: remove meaningless undefining CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING</title>
<updated>2020-04-07T17:43:42Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Masahiro Yamada</name>
<email>masahiroy@kernel.org</email>

<published>2020-04-07T03:09:30Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=12a5b00a5366467e95a25f55da751794e5fe6788'/>
<id>urn:sha1:12a5b00a5366467e95a25f55da751794e5fe6788</id>
<content type='text'>
The code, #undef CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, is not working as expected
because &lt;linux/compiler_types.h&gt; is parsed before vclock_gettime.c since
28128c61e08e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct
attributes").

Since then, &lt;linux/compiler_types.h&gt; is included really early by using the
'-include' option.  So, you cannot negate the decision of
&lt;linux/compiler_types.h&gt; in this way.

You can confirm it by checking the pre-processed code, like this:

  $ make arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/vclock_gettime.i

There is no difference with/without CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

It is about two years since 28128c61e08e.  Nobody has reported a problem
(or, nobody has even noticed the fact that this code is not working).

It is ugly and unreliable to attempt to undefine a CONFIG option from C
files, and anyway the inlining heuristic is up to the compiler.

Just remove the broken code.

<title>kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y</title>
<updated>2020-02-03T16:53:07Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Masahiro Yamada</name>
<email>masahiroy@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2020-02-01T16:49:24Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=5f2fb52fac15a8a8e10ce020dd532504a8abfc4e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5f2fb52fac15a8a8e10ce020dd532504a8abfc4e</id>
<content type='text'>
In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.

It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.

This commit renames like follows:

  always       -&gt;  always-y
  hostprogs-y  -&gt;  hostprogs

So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:

  always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
  always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS)    += ...
      ...
  hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)

I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.

The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

Pull y2038 cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
 "y2038 syscall implementation cleanups

  This is a series of cleanups for the y2038 work, mostly intended for
  namespace cleaning: the kernel defines the traditional time_t, timeval
  and timespec types that often lead to y2038-unsafe code. Even though
  the unsafe usage is mostly gone from the kernel, having the types and
  associated functions around means that we can still grow new users,
  and that we may be missing conversions to safe types that actually
  matter.

  There are still a number of driver specific patches needed to get the
  last users of these types removed, those have been submitted to the
  respective maintainers"

<content type='text'>
In order to remove 'timespec' completely from the kernel, all
internal uses should be converted to a y2038-safe type, while
those that are only for compatibity with existing user space
should be marked appropriately.

Change vdso to use __kernel_old_timespec in order to avoid
the deprecated type and mark these interfaces as outdated.
