f1b99392ca arm64: makefile: fix uname munging when setting ARCH on native machine
By popular demand, arch/aarch64 is now known as arch/arm64. However,
uname -m (and indeed the GNU triplet) still use aarch64 as the machine
string.

This patch fixes native builds of both the kernel and perf tools by
updating the relevant Makefiles to munge the output of uname -m and
set the ARCH variable appropriately.

d890f510c8 MODSIGN: Add modules_sign make target
If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG is set, and 'make modules_sign' is called then this
patch will cause the modules to get a signature appended.  The make target
is intended to be run after 'make modules_install', and will modify the
modules in-place in the installed location.  It can be used to produce
signed modules after they have been processed by distribution build
scripts.

bd1ee804af kbuild: Do not remove vmlinux when cleaning external module
Since commit 1f2bfbd00e "kbuild:
link of vmlinux moved to a script" make clean with M=<dir>
argument (so cleaning external module) removes vmlinux,
System.map and couple of other files from the *main* kernel
build directory! This not what was happening before and almost
certainly not what one would expect.

This patch moves makes the clean target of the script called
only when !KBUILD_EXTMOD.

bf35182ffc tools: Honour the O= flag when tool build called from a higher Makefile
Honour the O= flag that was passed to a higher level Makefile and then passed
down as part of a tool build.

To make this work, the top-level Makefile passes the original O= flag and
subdir=tools to the tools/Makefile, and that in turn passes
subdir=$(O)/$(subdir)/foodir when building tool foo in directory
$(O)/$(subdir)/foodir (where the intervening slashes aren't added if an
element is missing).

For example, take perf.  This is found in tools/perf/.  Assume we're building
into directory ~/zebra/, so we pass O=~/zebra to make.  Dependening on where
we run the build from, we see:

	make run in dir		$(OUTPUT) dir
	=======================	==================
	linux			~/zebra/tools/perf/
	linux/tools		~/zebra/perf/
	linux/tools/perf	~/zebra/

and if O= is not set, we get:

	make run in dir		$(OUTPUT) dir
	=======================	==================
	linux			linux/tools/perf/
	linux/tools		linux/tools/perf/
	linux/tools/perf	linux/tools/perf/

The output directories are created by the descend function if they don't
already exist.

10b63956fc UAPI: Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checking
Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checking system.
As the headers are split the entries will be transferred across from the old
Kbuild files to the UAPI Kbuild files.

The changes made in this commit are:

 (1) Exported generated files (of which there are currently four) are moved to
     uapi/ directories under the appropriate generated/ directory, thus we
     get:

	include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
	arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h
	arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h
	arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_x32.h

     These paths were added to the build as -I flags in a previous patch.

 (2) scripts/Makefile.headersinst is now given the UAPI path to install from
     rather than the old path.

     It then determines the old path from that and includes that Kbuild also
     if it exists, thus permitting the headers to exist in either directory
     during the changeover.

     I also renamed the "install" variable to "installdir" as it refers to a
     directory not the install program.

 (3) scripts/headers_install.pl is altered to take a list of source file paths
     instead of just their names so that the makefile can tell it exactly
     where to find each file.

     For the moment, files can be obtained from one of four places for each
     output directory:

	.../include/uapi/foo/
	.../include/generated/uapi/foo/
	.../include/foo/
	.../include/generated/foo/

     The non-UAPI paths will be dropped later.

abbf1590de UAPI: Partition the header include path sets and add uapi/ header directories
Partition the header include path flags into two sets, one for kernelspace
builds and one for userspace builds.

Add the following directories to build after the ordinary include directories
so that #include will pick up the UAPI header directly if the kernel header
has been moved there.

The userspace set (represented by the USERINCLUDE make variable) contains:

	-I $(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi
	-I arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/generated/uapi
	-I $(srctree)/include/uapi
	-I include/generated/uapi
	-include $(srctree)/include/linux/kconfig.h

and the kernelspace set (represented by the LINUXINCLUDE make variable)
contains:

	-I $(srctree)/arch/$(hdr-arch)/include
	-I arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/generated
	-I $(srctree)/include
	-I include		--- if not building in the source tree

plus everything in the USERINCLUDE set.

Then use USERINCLUDE in building the x86 boot code.

Pull perf update from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lots of changes in this cycle as well, with hundreds of commits from
  over 30 contributors.  Most of the activity was on the tooling side.

  Higher level changes:

   - New 'perf kvm' analysis tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - New 'perf trace' system-wide tracing tool

   - uprobes fixes + cleanups from Oleg Nesterov.

   - Lots of patches to make perf build on Android out of box, from
     Irina Tirdea

   - Extend ftrace function tracing utility to be more dynamic for its
     users.  It allows for data passing to the callback functions, as
     well as reading regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger at function
     entry.

     The main goal of this patch series was to allow kprobes to use
     ftrace as an optimized probe point when a probe is placed on an
     ftrace nop.  With lots of help from Masami Hiramatsu, and going
     through lots of iterations, we finally came up with a good
     solution.

   - Add cpumask for uncore pmu, use it in 'stat', from Yan, Zheng.

   - Various tracing updates from Steve Rostedt

   - Clean up and improve 'perf sched' performance by elliminating lots
     of needless calls to libtraceevent.

   - Event group parsing support, from Jiri Olsa

   - UI/gtk refactorings and improvements from Namhyung Kim

   - Add support for non-tracepoint events in perf script python, from
     Feng Tang

   - Add --symbols to 'script', similar to the one in 'report', from
     Feng Tang.

  Infrastructure enhancements and fixes:

   - Convert the trace builtins to use the growing evsel/evlist
     tracepoint infrastructure, removing several open coded constructs
     like switch like series of strcmp to dispatch events, etc.
     Basically what had already been showcased in 'perf sched'.

   - Add evsel constructor for tracepoints, that uses libtraceevent just
     to parse the /format events file, use it in a new 'perf test' to
     make sure the libtraceevent format parsing regressions can be more
     readily caught.

   - Some strange errors were happening in some builds, but not on the
     next, reported by several people, problem was some parser related
     files, generated during the build, didn't had proper make deps, fix
     from Eric Sandeen.

   - Introduce struct and cache information about the environment where
     a perf.data file was captured, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix handling of unresolved samples when --symbols is used in
     'report', from Feng Tang.

   - Add union member access support to 'probe', from Hyeoncheol Lee.

   - Fixups to die() removal, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Render fixes for the TUI, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Don't enable annotation in non symbolic view, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Fix pipe mode in 'report', from Namhyung Kim.

   - Move related stats code from stat to util/, will be used by the
     'stat' kvm tool, from Xiao Guangrong.

   - Remove die()/exit() calls from several tools.

   - Resolve vdso callchains, from Jiri Olsa

   - Don't pass const char pointers to basename, so that we can
     unconditionally use libgen.h and thus avoid ifdef BIONIC lines,
     from David Ahern

   - Refactor hist formatting so that it can be reused with the GTK
     browser, From Namhyung Kim

   - Fix build for another rbtree.c change, from Adrian Hunter.

   - Make 'perf diff' command work with evsel hists, from Jiri Olsa.

   - Use the only field_sep var that is set up: symbol_conf.field_sep,
     fix from Jiri Olsa.

   - .gitignore compiled python binaries, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Get rid of die() in more libtraceevent places, from Namhyung Kim.

   - Rename libtraceevent 'private' struct member to 'priv' so that it
     works in C++, from Steven Rostedt

   - Remove lots of exit()/die() calls from tools so that the main perf
     exit routine can take place, from David Ahern

   - Fix x86 build on x86-64, from David Ahern.

   - {int,str,rb}list fixes from Suzuki K Poulose

   - perf.data header fixes from Namhyung Kim

   - Allow user to indicate objdump path, needed in cross environments,
     from Maciek Borzecki

   - Fix hardware cache event name generation, fix from Jiri Olsa

   - Add round trip test for sw, hw and cache event names, catching the

   - Check the right variable for allocation failure, fix from Namhyung
     Kim

     already, fix from Namhyung Kim

   - Oprofile fixes from Robert Richter.

   - Remove perf_event_attr needless version inflation, from Jiri Olsa

   - Introduce libtraceevent strerror like error reporting facility,

4553f0b90e Merge branch 'core/rcu' into perf/core
Steve Rostedt asked for the merge of a single commit, into both
the RCU and the perf/tracing tree:

 | Josh made a change to the tracing code that affects both the
 | work Paul McKenney and I are currently doing. At the last
 | Kernel Summit back in August, Linus said when such a case
 | exists, it is best to make a separate branch based off of his
 | tree and place the change there. This way, the repositories
 | that need to share the change can both pull them in and the
 | SHA1 will match for both. Whichever branch is pulled in first
 | by Linus will also pull in the necessary change for the other
 | branch as well.

70cfe02682 kbuild: Remove useless warning while appending KCFLAGS
This is a respin of an older patch sent by Sam Ravnborg:
  http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1530602

This patch removes the annoying warning:

Makefile:708: "WARNING: Appending $KCFLAGS (-Wno-sign-compare) from command
line to kernel $CFLAGS"

which is printed every time I use KCFLAFS. The commit which introduced the
warning:

69ee0b3 kbuild: do not pick up CFLAGS from the environment

tells about the problems when people have CFLAGS in their environment,
then switches to KCFLAFS which should be enough to solve the issue, but
it anyway introduces a warning. Drop this warning.

a2546fae01 ftrace: Add -mfentry to Makefile on function tracer
Thanks to Andi Kleen, gcc 4.6.0 now supports -mfentry for x86
(and hopefully soon for other archs). What this does is to have
the function profiler start at the beginning of the function
instead of after the stack is set up. As plain -pg (mcount) is
called after the stack is set up, and in some cases can have issues
with the function graph tracer. It also requires frame pointers to
be enabled.

The -mfentry now calls __fentry__ at the beginning of the function.
This allows for compiling without frame pointers and even has the
ability to access parameters if needed.

If the architecture and the compiler both support -mfentry then
use that instead.
