`rustc` outputs by default the temporary files (i.e. the ones saved
by `-Csave-temps`, such as `*.rcgu*` files) in the current working
directory when `-o` and `--out-dir` are not given (even if
`--emit=x=path` is given, i.e. it does not use those for temporaries).

Since out-of-tree modules are compiled from the `linux` tree,
`rustc` then tries to create them there, which may not be accessible.

Thus pass `--out-dir` explicitly, even if it is just for the temporary
files.

Similarly, do so for Rust host programs too.

rustc may put comments in dep-info, so sed is used to drop them before
passing it to fixdep.

Now that fixdep can remove comments, Makefiles do not need to run sed.

<title>kbuild: specify output names separately for each emission type from rustc</title>

<content type='text'>
In Kbuild, two different rules must not write to the same file, but
it happens when compiling rust source files.

For example, set CONFIG_SAMPLE_RUST_MINIMAL=m and run the following:

  $ make -j$(nproc) samples/rust/rust_minimal.o samples/rust/rust_minimal.rsi \
                    samples/rust/rust_minimal.s samples/rust/rust_minimal.ll
    [snip]
    RUSTC [M] samples/rust/rust_minimal.o
    RUSTC [M] samples/rust/rust_minimal.rsi
    RUSTC [M] samples/rust/rust_minimal.s
    RUSTC [M] samples/rust/rust_minimal.ll
  mv: cannot stat 'samples/rust/rust_minimal.d': No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:334: samples/rust/rust_minimal.ll] Error 1
  make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  mv: cannot stat 'samples/rust/rust_minimal.d': No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:309: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o] Error 1
  mv: cannot stat 'samples/rust/rust_minimal.d': No such file or directory
  make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:326: samples/rust/rust_minimal.s] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:504: samples/rust] Error 2
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:504: samples] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:2008: .] Error 2

The reason for the error is that 4 threads running in parallel renames
the same file, samples/rust/rust_minimal.d.

This does not happen when compiling C or assembly files because
-Wp,-MMD,$(depfile) explicitly specifies the dependency filepath.
$(depfile) is a unique path for each target.

Currently, rustc is only given --out-dir and --emit=&lt;list-of-types&gt;
So, all the rust build rules output the dep-info into the default
&lt;CRATE_NAME&gt;.d, which causes the path conflict.

Fortunately, the --emit option is able to specify the output path
individually, with the form --emit=&lt;type&gt;=&lt;path&gt;.

Add --emit=dep-info=$(depfile) to the common part. Also, remove the
redundant --out-dir because the output path is specified for each type.

The code gets much cleaner because we do not need to rename *.d files.

the Rust configuration printer and a few other bits.

The conditional:

  ifneq ($(hostprogs),)

... is evaluated to true if $(hostprogs) does not contain any word but
whitespace characters.

  ifneq ($(strip $(hostprogs)),)

... is a safe way to avoid interpreting whitespace as a non-empty value,
but I'd rather want to use the side-effect of $(sort ...) to do the
equivalent.

$(sort ...) is used in scripts/Makefile.host in order to drop duplication
in $(hostprogs). It is also useful to strip excessive spaces.

Move $(sort ...) before evaluating the ifneq.

<title>kbuild: move host .so build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile</title>

The host shared library rules are currently implemented in
scripts/Makefile.host, but actually GCC-plugin is the only user of
them. (The VDSO .so files are built for the target by different
build rules) Hence, they do not need to be treewide available.

Move all the relevant build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile.

I also optimized the build steps so *.so is directly built from .c
because every upstream plugin is compiled from a single source file.

I am still keeping the multi-file plugin support, which Kees Cook
mentioned might be needed by out-of-tree plugins.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/11/1107)

If the plugin, foo.so, is compiled from two files foo.c and foo2.c,
then you can do like follows:

  foo-objs := foo.o foo2.o

Single-file plugins do not need the *-objs notation.

<title>kbuild: use -MMD instead of -MD to exclude system headers from dependency</title>

This omits system headers from the generated header dependency.

System headers are not updated unless you upgrade the compiler. Nor do
they contain CONFIG options, so fixdep does not need to parse them.

Having said that, the effect of this optimization will be quite small
because the kernel code generally does not include system headers
except &lt;stdarg.h&gt;. Host programs include a lot of system headers,
but there are not so many in the kernel tree.

At first, keeping system headers in .*.cmd files might be useful to
detect the compiler update, but there is no guarantee that &lt;stdarg.h&gt;
is included from every file. So, I implemented a more reliable way in
the previous commit.

This omits system headers from the generated header dependency.

System headers are not updated unless you upgrade the compiler. Nor do
they contain CONFIG options, so fixdep does not need to parse them.

Nobody was opposed to raising minimum GCC version to 4.8 [1]
So, we will drop GCC &lt;= 4.7 support sooner or later.

We always use C++ compiler for building plugins for GCC &gt;= 4.8.

This commit drops the plugin support for GCC &lt;= 4.7 a bit earlier,
which allows us to dump lots of code.

<title>kbuild: rename hostprogs-y/always to hostprogs/always-y</title>

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.
