Currently, the install target in arch/x86/Makefile descends into
arch/x86/boot/Makefile to invoke the shell script, but there is no
good reason to do so.
arch/x86/Makefile can run the shell script directly.

cc-option, __cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning all invoke
the compiler during build time, and can slow down the build when these
checks become stale for our supported compilers, whose minimally
supported versions increases over time.
See Documentation/process/changes.rst for the current supported minimal
versions (GCC 4.9+, clang 10.0.1+). Compiler version support for these
flags may be verified on godbolt.org.
The following flags are supported by all supported versions of GCC and
Clang. Remove their cc-option, __cc-option, and cc-option-yn tests.

As explained in commit 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some
included Makefiles"), I want to stop using --include-dir some day.
I already fixed up the top Makefile, but some arch Makefiles (mips, um,
x86) still include check-in Makefiles without $(srctree)/.
Fix them up so 'need-sub-make := 1' can go away for this case.

Since LLVM commit 3787ee4, the '-stack-alignment' flag has been dropped
[1], leading to the following error message when building a LTO kernel
with Clang-13 and LLD-13:
ld.lld: error: -plugin-opt=-: ld.lld: Unknown command line argument
'-stack-alignment=8'. Try 'ld.lld --help'
ld.lld: Did you mean '--stackrealign=8'?
It also appears that the '-code-model' flag is not necessary anymore
starting with LLVM-9 [2].
Drop '-code-model' and make '-stack-alignment' conditional on LLD < 13.0.0.
These flags were necessary because these flags were not encoded in the
IR properly, so the link would restart optimizations without them. Now
there are properly encoded in the IR, and these flags exposing
implementation details are no longer necessary.

Commit b33fff07e3e3 ("x86, build: allow LTO to be selected") added a
couple of '-plugin-opt=' flags to KBUILD_LDFLAGS because the code model
and stack alignment are not stored in LLVM bitcode.
However, these flags were added to KBUILD_LDFLAGS prior to the
emulation flag assignment, which uses ':=', so they were overwritten
and never added to $(LD) invocations.
The absence of these flags caused misalignment issues in the
AMDGPU driver when compiling with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, resulting in
general protection faults.
Shuffle the assignment below the initial one so that the flags are
properly passed along and all of the linker flags stay together.
At the same time, avoid any future issues with clobbering flags by
changing the emulation flag assignment to '+=' since KBUILD_LDFLAGS is
already defined with ':=' in the main Makefile before being exported for
modification here as a result of commit:

The image generation scripts in arch/x86/boot are pretty out of date,
except for the isoimage target. Update and clean up the
genimage.sh script, and make it support an arbitrary number of
initramfs files in the image.
Add a "hdimage" target, which can be booted by either BIOS or
EFI (if the kernel is compiled with the EFI stub.) For EFI to be able
to pass the command line to the kernel, we need the EFI shell, but the
firmware builtin EFI shell, if it even exists, is pretty much always
the last resort boot option, so search for OVMF or EDK2 and explicitly
include a copy of the EFI shell.
To make this all work, use bash features in the script. Furthermore,
this version of the script makes use of some mtools features,
especially mpartition, that might not exist in very old version of
mtools, but given all the other dependencies on this script this
doesn't seem such a big deal.
Finally, put a volume label ("LINUX_BOOT") on all generated images.

When cross-compiling with Clang, the `$(CLANG_FLAGS)' variable
contains additional flags needed to build C and assembly sources
for the target platform. Normally this variable is automatically
included in `$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)' via the top-level Makefile.
The x86 real-mode makefile builds `$(REALMODE_CFLAGS)' from a
plain assignment and therefore drops the Clang flags. This causes
Clang to not recognize x86-specific assembler directives:
arch/x86/realmode/rm/header.S:36:1: error: unknown directive
.type real_mode_header STT_OBJECT ; .size real_mode_header, .-real_mode_header
^
Explicit propagation of `$(CLANG_FLAGS)' to `$(REALMODE_CFLAGS)',
which is inherited by real-mode make rules, fixes cross-compilation
with Clang for x86 targets.
Relevant flags:
* `--target' sets the target architecture when cross-compiling. This
flag must be set for both compilation and assembly (`KBUILD_AFLAGS')
to support architecture-specific assembler directives.
* `-no-integrated-as' tells clang to assemble with GNU Assembler
instead of its built-in LLVM assembler. This flag is set by default
unless `LLVM_IAS=1' is set, because the LLVM assembler can't yet
parse certain GNU extensions.

On 32-bit kernels, the stackprotector canary is quite nasty -- it is
stored at %gs:(20), which is nasty because 32-bit kernels use %fs for
percpu storage. It's even nastier because it means that whether %gs
contains userspace state or kernel state while running kernel code
depends on whether stackprotector is enabled (this is
CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS), and this setting radically changes the way
that segment selectors work. Supporting both variants is a
maintenance and testing mess.
Merely rearranging so that percpu and the stack canary
share the same segment would be messy as the 32-bit percpu address
layout isn't currently compatible with putting a variable at a fixed
offset.
Fortunately, GCC 8.1 added options that allow the stack canary to be
accessed as %fs:__stack_chk_guard, effectively turning it into an ordinary
percpu variable. This lets us get rid of all of the code to manage the
stack canary GDT descriptor and the CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS mess.
(That name is special. We could use any symbol we want for the
%fs-relative mode, but for CONFIG_SMP=n, gcc refuses to let us use any
name other than __stack_chk_guard.)
Forcibly disable stackprotector on older compilers that don't support
the new options and turn the stack canary into a percpu variable. The
"lazy GS" approach is now used for all 32-bit configurations.
Also makes load_gs_index() work on 32-bit kernels. On 64-bit kernels,
it loads the GS selector and updates the user GSBASE accordingly. (This
is unchanged.) On 32-bit kernels, it loads the GS selector and updates
GSBASE, which is now always the user base. This means that the overall
effect is the same on 32-bit and 64-bit, which avoids some ifdeffery.

With retpolines disabled, some configurations of GCC, and specifically
the GCC versions 9 and 10 in Ubuntu will add Intel CET instrumentation
to the kernel by default. That breaks certain tracing scenarios by
adding a superfluous ENDBR64 instruction before the fentry call, for
functions which can be called indirectly.
CET instrumentation isn't currently necessary in the kernel, as CET is
only supported in user space. Disable it unconditionally and move it
into the x86's Makefile as CET/CFI... enablement should be a per-arch
decision anyway.

Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).
To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.
To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between

This option is only required for vmlinux on 64-bit, to enforce 2MiB
alignment, so set it in LDFLAGS_vmlinux instead of KBUILD_LDFLAGS. Also
drop the ld-option check: this option was added in binutils-2.18 and all
the other places that use it already don't have the check.
This reduces the size of the intermediate ELF files
arch/x86/boot/setup.elf and arch/x86/realmode/rm/realmode.elf by about
2MiB each. The binary versions are unchanged.
Move the LDFLAGS settings to all be together and just after CFLAGS
settings are done.

Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of
ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make
proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like
many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the
dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the
ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both
32-bit and 64-bit mode.

GCC9 build warning
One of the very few warnings I have in the current build comes from
arch/x86/boot/edd.c, where I get the following with a gcc9 build:
arch/x86/boot/edd.c: In function ‘query_edd’:
arch/x86/boot/edd.c:148:11: warning: taking address of packed member of ‘struct boot_params’ may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member]
148 | mbrptr = boot_params.edd_mbr_sig_buffer;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
This warning triggers because we throw away all the CFLAGS and then make
a new set for REALMODE_CFLAGS, so the -Wno-address-of-packed-member we
added in the following commit is not present:
6f303d60534c ("gcc-9: silence 'address-of-packed-member' warning")
The simplest solution for now is to adjust the warning for this version
of CFLAGS as well, but it would definitely make sense to examine whether
REALMODE_CFLAGS could be derived from CFLAGS, so that it picks up changes
in the compiler flags environment automatically.

The LLVM linker (ld.lld) defaults to removing local relocations, which
causes KASLR boot failures. ld.bfd and ld.gold already handle this
correctly. This adds the explicit instruction "--discard-none" during

but ld.lld now produces an image with all the needed relocations.

Commit ce02ef06fcf7 ("x86, retpolines: Raise limit for generating indirect
calls from switch-case") raised the limit under retpolines to 20 switch
cases where gcc would only then start to emit jump tables, and therefore
effectively disabling the emission of slow indirect calls in this area.
After this has been brought to attention to gcc folks [0], Martin Liska
has then fixed gcc to align with clang by avoiding to generate switch jump
tables entirely under retpolines. This is taking effect in gcc starting
from stable version 8.4.0. Given kernel supports compilation with older
versions of gcc where the fix is not being available or backported anymore,
we need to keep the extra KBUILD_CFLAGS around for some time and generally
set the -fno-jump-tables to align with what more recent gcc is doing
automatically today.
More than 20 switch cases are not expected to be fast-path critical, but
it would still be good to align with gcc behavior for versions < 8.4.0 in
order to have consistency across supported gcc versions. vmlinux size is
slightly growing by 0.27% for older gcc. This flag is only set to work
around affected gcc, no change for clang.

From networking side, there are numerous attempts to get rid of indirect
calls in fast-path wherever feasible in order to avoid the cost of
retpolines, for example, just to name a few:
* 283c16a2dfd3 ("indirect call wrappers: helpers to speed-up indirect calls of builtin")
* aaa5d90b395a ("net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO network layer")
* 028e0a476684 ("net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO transport layer")
* 356da6d0cde3 ("dma-mapping: bypass indirect calls for dma-direct")
* 09772d92cd5a ("bpf: avoid retpoline for lookup/update/delete calls on maps")
* 10870dd89e95 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add direct calls for all builtin expressions")
[...]
Recent work on XDP from Björn and Magnus additionally found that manually
transforming the XDP return code switch statement with more than 5 cases
into if-else combination would result in a considerable speedup in XDP
layer due to avoidance of indirect calls in CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled
builds. On i40e driver with XDP prog attached, a 20-26% speedup has been
observed [0]. Aside from XDP, there are many other places later in the
networking stack's critical path with similar switch-case
processing. Rather than fixing every XDP-enabled driver and locations in
stack by hand, it would be good to instead raise the limit where gcc would
emit expensive indirect calls from the switch under retpolines and stick
with the default as-is in case of !retpoline configured kernels. This would
also have the advantage that for archs where this is not necessary, we let
compiler select the underlying target optimization for these constructs and
avoid potential slow-downs by if-else hand-rewrite.
In case of gcc, this setting is controlled by case-values-threshold which
has an architecture global default that selects 4 or 5 (latter if target
does not have a case insn that compares the bounds) where some arch back
ends like arm64 or s390 override it with their own target hooks, for
example, in gcc commit db7a90aa0de5 ("S/390: Disable prediction of indirect
branches") the threshold pretty much disables jump tables by limit of 20
under retpoline builds. Comparing gcc's and clang's default code
generation on x86-64 under O2 level with retpoline build results in the
following outcome for 5 switch cases:

Raising the cases to a high number (e.g. 100) will still result in similar
code generation pattern with clang and gcc as above, in other words clang
generally turns off jump table emission by having an extra expansion pass
under retpoline build to turn indirectbr instructions from their IR into
switch instructions as a built-in -mno-jump-table lowering of a switch (in
this case, even if IR input already contained an indirect branch).
For gcc, adding --param=case-values-threshold=20 as in similar fashion as
s390 in order to raise the limit for x86 retpoline enabled builds results
in a small vmlinux size increase of only 0.13% (before=18,027,528
after=18,051,192). For clang this option is ignored due to i) not being
needed as mentioned and ii) not having above cmdline
parameter. Non-retpoline-enabled builds with gcc continue to use the
default case-values-threshold setting, so nothing changes here.

This was a "workaround" to probe for binutils which could generate
FXSAVEQ, apparently gas with min version 2.16. In the meantime, minimal
required gas version is 2.20 so all those workarounds for older binutils
can be dropped.
