[ Upstream commit 3430f65d6130ccbc86f0ff45642eeb9e2032a600 ]

In convention, short logs print the output file, not the input file.

Let's change the suffix for 'AS' since it assembles *.S into *.o.

[Before]

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  LD      vmlinux

[After]

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
  KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
  AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o

<title>kbuild: Fix changing ELF file type for output of gen_btf for big endian</title>

<id>04c0dbdba3b03bbbe35bfb36f93a771693a68857</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e3a9ee963ad8ba677ca925149812c5932b49af69 upstream.

Commit 90ceddcb4950 ("bpf: Support llvm-objcopy for vmlinux BTF")
changed the ELF type of .btf.vmlinux.bin.o to ET_REL via dd, which works
fine for little endian platforms:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  03 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|
  +00000010  01 00 b7 00 01 00 00 00  00 00 00 80 00 80 ff ff  |................|

However, for big endian platforms, it changes the wrong byte, resulting
in an invalid ELF file type, which ld.lld rejects:

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|
  +00000010  01 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|

  Type:                              &lt;unknown&gt;: 103

  ld.lld: error: .btf.vmlinux.bin.o: unknown file type

Fix this by updating the entire 16-bit e_type field rather than just a
single byte, so that everything works correctly for all platforms and
linkers.

   00000000  7f 45 4c 46 02 02 01 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |.ELF............|
  -00000010  00 03 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|
  +00000010  00 01 00 16 00 00 00 01  00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00  |................|

  Type:                              REL (Relocatable file)

While in the area, update the comment to mention that binutils 2.35+
matches LLD's behavior of rejecting an ET_EXEC input, which occurred
after the comment was added.

Drop the symbols generated by scripts/kallsyms itself automatically
instead of maintaining the symbol list manually.

Pass the kallsyms object from the previous kallsyms step (if it exists)
as the third parameter of scripts/mksysmap, which will weed out the
generated symbols from the input to the next kallsyms step.

<title>kallsyms: Correctly sequence symbols when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y</title>

<id>010a0aad39fccceba4a07d30d163158a39c704f3</id>
<content type='text'>
LLVM appends various suffixes for local functions and variables, suffixes
observed:
 - foo.llvm.[0-9a-f]+
 - foo.[0-9a-f]+

Therefore, when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, kallsyms_lookup_name() needs to
truncate the suffix of the symbol name before comparing the local function
or variable name.

Old implementation code:
-	if (strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0)
-		return kallsyms_sym_address(i);
-	if (cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf) &amp;&amp; strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0)
-		return kallsyms_sym_address(i);

The preceding process is traversed by address from low to high. That is,
for those with the same name after the suffix is removed, the one with
the smallest address is returned first. Therefore, when sorting in the
tool, if the raw names are the same, they should be sorted by address in
ascending order.

ASCII[.]   = 2e
ASCII[0-9] = 30,39
ASCII[A-Z] = 41,5a
ASCII[_]   = 5f
ASCII[a-z] = 61,7a

According to the preceding ASCII code values, the following sorting result
is strictly followed.
 ---------------------------------
|    main-key     |    sub-key    |
|---------------------------------|
|                 |  addr_lowest  |
| &lt;name&gt;          |      ...      |
| &lt;name&gt;.&lt;suffix&gt; |      ...      |
|                 |  addr_highest |
|---------------------------------|
| &lt;name&gt;?&lt;others&gt; |               |   //? is [_A-Za-z0-9]

When include/linux/export-internal.h is updated, .vmlinux.export.o
must be rebuilt, but it does not happen because its rule is hidden
behind scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Move it out of the shell script, so that Make can see the dependency
between vmlinux and .vmlinux.export.o.

Move the vmlinux rule to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux.

Do not build modules.builtin(.modinfo) as a side-effect of vmlinux.

There are no good reason to rebuild them just because any of vmlinux's
prerequistes (vmlinux.lds, .vmlinux.export.c, etc.) has been updated.

This gets rid of the pipe operator connected with 'cat'.

Also use getopt_long() to parse the command line.

<title>kbuild: reuse mksysmap output for kallsyms</title>

scripts/mksysmap internally runs ${NM} (dropping some symbols).

When CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, mksysmap creates .tmp_System.map, but it is
almost the same as the output from the ${NM} invocation in kallsyms().
It is true scripts/mksysmap drops some symbols, but scripts/kallsyms.c
ignores more anyway.

Keep the mksysmap output as *.syms, and reuse it for kallsyms and
'cmp -s'. It saves one ${NM} invocation.
