[PATCH v5 bpf-next 00/15] samples: bpf: improve/fix cross-compilation

This series contains mainly fixes/improvements for cross-compilation
but not only, tested for arm, arm64, and intended for any arch.
Also verified on native build (not cross compilation) for x86_64
and arm, arm64.

Initial RFC link:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/8/29/1665

Prev. version:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/9/1045

Besides the patches given here, the RFC also contains couple patches
related to llvm clang
arm: include: asm: swab: mask rev16 instruction for clang
arm: include: asm: unified: mask .syntax unified for clang
They are necessarily to verify arm 32 build.

Also, couple more fixes were added but are not merged in bpf-next yet,
they can be needed for verification/configuration steps, if not in
your tree the fixes can be taken here:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg601714.html
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-kbuild/msg23468.html

Now, to build samples, SAMPLE_BPF should be enabled in config.

The change touches not only cross-compilation and can have impact on
other archs and build environments, so might be good idea to verify
it in order to add appropriate changes, some warn options could be
tuned also.

All is tested on x86-64 with clang installed (has to be built containing
targets for arm, arm64..., see llc --version, usually it's present already)

Instructions to test native on x86_64
=================================================
Native build on x86_64 is done in usual way and shouldn't have difference
except HOSTCC is now printed as CC wile building the samples.

Instructions to test cross compilation on arm64
=================================================

Based on bpf-next/master

v5..v4:
- any changes, only missed SOBs are added

v4..v3:
- renamed CLANG_EXTRA_CFLAGS on BPF_EXTRA_CFLAGS
- used filter for ARCH_ARM_SELECTOR
- omit "-fomit-frame-pointer" and use same flags for native and "cross"
- used sample/bpf prefixes
- use C instead of C++ compiler for test_libbpf target

v3..v2:
- renamed makefile.progs to makeifle.target, as more appropriate
- left only __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ for D options for arm
- for host build - left options from KBUILD_HOST for compatibility reasons
- split patch adding c/cxx/ld flags to libbpf by modules
- moved readme change to separate patch
- added patch setting options for cross-compile
- fixed issue with option error for syscall_nrs.S,
avoiding overlap for ccflags-y.

v2..v1:
- restructured patches order
- split "samples: bpf: Makefile: base progs build on Makefile.progs"
to make change more readable. It added couple nice extra patches.
- removed redundant patch:
"samples: bpf: Makefile: remove target for native build"
- added fix:
"samples: bpf: makefile: fix cookie_uid_helper_example obj build"
- limited -D option filter only for arm
- improved comments
- added couple instructions to verify cross compilation for arm and
arm64 arches based on TI am57xx and am65xx sdks.
- corrected include a little order
