commit 87c4e1459e80bf65066f864c762ef4dc932fad4b upstream.
After commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update assembler calls to use proper
flags and language target"), which updated as-instr to use the
'assembler-with-cpp' language option, the Kbuild version of as-instr
always fails internally for arch/arm with
<command-line>: fatal error: asm/unified.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
because '-include' flags are now taken into account by the compiler
driver and as-instr does not have '$(LINUXINCLUDE)', so unified.h is not
found.
This went unnoticed at the time of the Kbuild change because the last
use of as-instr in Kbuild that arch/arm could reach was removed in 5.7
by commit 541ad0150ca4 ("arm: Remove 32bit KVM host support") but a
stable backport of the Kbuild change to before that point exposed this
potential issue if one were to be reintroduced.
Follow the general pattern of '-include' paths throughout the tree and
make unified.h absolute using '$(srctree)' to ensure KBUILD_AFLAGS can
be used independently.

From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
commit d5c8d6e0fa61401a729e9eb6a9c7077b2d3aebb0 upstream.
as-instr uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, but as-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. This can
cause as-option to fail unexpectedly when CONFIG_WERROR is set, because
clang will emit -Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument for various -m
and -f flags in KBUILD_CFLAGS for assembler sources.
Callers of as-option and as-instr should be adding flags to
KBUILD_AFLAGS / aflags-y, not KBUILD_CFLAGS / cflags-y. Use
KBUILD_AFLAGS in all macros to clear up the initial problem.
Unfortunately, -Wunused-command-line-argument can still be triggered
with clang by the presence of warning flags or macro definitions because
'-x assembler' is used, instead of '-x assembler-with-cpp', which will
consume these flags. Switch to '-x assembler-with-cpp' in places where
'-x assembler' is used, as the compiler is always used as the driver for
out of line assembler sources in the kernel.
Finally, add -Werror to these macros so that they behave consistently
whether or not CONFIG_WERROR is set.
[nathan: Reworded and expanded on problems in commit message
Use '-x assembler-with-cpp' in a couple more places]

A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing.
When that occurs, the following error appears when building ARCH=mips
with clang (tip of tree error shown):
clang: error: unsupported option '-mabi=' for target 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu'
Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS in the CHECKFLAGS invocation to keep everything
working after the move.

commit cff6e7f50bd315e5b39c4e46c704ac587ceb965f upstream.
A future change will move CLANG_FLAGS from KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS so that '--target' is available while preprocessing.
When that occurs, the following errors appear multiple times when
building ARCH=powerpc powernv_defconfig:
ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12d4): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717520 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__start___soft_mask_table'
ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o):(.text+0x12e8): relocation R_PPC64_ADDR16_HI out of range: -4611686018409717392 is not in [-2147483648, 2147483647]; references '__stop___soft_mask_table'
Diffing the .o.cmd files reveals that -DHAVE_AS_ATHIGH=1 is not present
anymore, because as-instr only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, which will no longer
contain '--target'.
Mirror Kconfig's as-instr and add CLANG_FLAGS explicitly to the
invocation to ensure the target information is always present.

From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
commit feb843a469fb0ab00d2d23cfb9bcc379791011bb upstream.
When preprocessing arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, the target triple is
not passed to $(CPP) because we add it only to KBUILD_{C,A}FLAGS.
As a result, the linker script is preprocessed with predefined macros
for the build host instead of the target.
Assuming you use an x86 build machine, compare the following:
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null -target aarch64-linux-gnu
There is no actual problem presumably because our linker scripts do not
rely on such predefined macros, but it is better to define correct ones.
Move $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, so that all *.c, *.S, *.lds.S
will be processed with the proper target triple.
[Note]
After the patch submission, we got an actual problem that needs this
commit. (CBL issue 1859)

commit 43fc0a99906e04792786edf8534d8d58d1e9de0c upstream.
After commit feb843a469fb ("kbuild: add $(CLANG_FLAGS) to
KBUILD_CPPFLAGS"), there is an error while building certain PowerPC
assembly files with clang:
arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S: Assembler messages:

arch/powerpc/lib/copypage_power7.S:40: Error: junk at end of line: `0b01010'
clang: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
as-option only uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, so after removing CLANG_FLAGS from
KBUILD_AFLAGS, there is no more '--target=' or '--prefix=' flags. As a
result of those missing flags, the host target
will be tested during as-option calls and likely fail, meaning necessary
flags may not get added when building assembly files, resulting in
errors like seen above.
Add KBUILD_CPPFLAGS to as-option invocations to clear up the errors.
This should have been done in commit d5c8d6e0fa61 ("kbuild: Update
assembler calls to use proper flags and language target"), which
switched from using the assembler target to the assembler-with-cpp
target, so flags that affect preprocessing are passed along in all
relevant tests. as-option now mirrors cc-option.
