[ Upstream commit 1472464c6248575bf2d01c7f076b94704bb32c95 ]

On macOS, as reported by Daniel Gomez, getline() sets ENOTTY to errno
if it is requested to read from /dev/null.

If this is worth fixing, I would rather pass an empty file to
scripts/kallsyms instead of adding the ugly #ifdef __APPLE__.

<title>kbuild: merge temporary vmlinux for BTF and kallsyms</title>

<id>urn:sha1:024d4a7ce52b7c369803e1bbf6af76000abfc8f2</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b1a9a5e04767e2a78783e19c9e55c25812ceccc3 ]

CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y requires one additional link step.
(.tmp_vmlinux.btf)

CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y requires two additional link steps.
(.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 and .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2)

Enabling both requires three additional link steps.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y, the current build
process is as follows:

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf             # temporary vmlinux for BTF
    BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1       # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 1
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2       # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o
    LD      vmlinux                      # final vmlinux

This is redundant because the BTF generation and the kallsyms step 1 can
be performed against the same temporary vmlinux.

When both CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and CONFIG_KALLSYMS are enabled, we can
reduce the number of link steps by one.

This commit changes the build process as follows:

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux0.kallsyms.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux1                # temporary vmlinux for BTF and kallsyms step 1
    BTF     .tmp_vmlinux1.btf.o
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux1.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux1.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux1.kallsyms.o
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux2                # temporary vmlinux for kallsyms step 2
    NM      .tmp_vmlinux2.syms
    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux2.kallsyms.S
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux2.kallsyms.o
    LD      vmlinux                      # final vmlinux

<title>kbuild: remove PROVIDE() for kallsyms symbols</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c442db3f49f27e5a60a641b2ac9a3c6320796ed6 ]

This reimplements commit 951bcae6c5a0 ("kallsyms: Avoid weak references
for kallsyms symbols") because I am not a big fan of PROVIDE().

As an alternative solution, this commit prepends one more kallsyms step.

    KSYMS   .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.S          # added
    AS      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o          # added
    LD      .tmp_vmlinux.btf
    BTF     .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
    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
    LD      vmlinux

Step 0 takes /dev/null as input, and generates .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms0.o,
which has a valid kallsyms format with the empty symbol list, and can be
linked to vmlinux. Since it is really small, the added compile-time cost
is negligible.

[ Upstream commit ddf41329839f49dadf26973cd845ea160ac1784d ]

Clean up the variables in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh

 - Specify the extra objects directly in vmlinux_link()
 - Move the AS rule to kallsyms()
 - Set kallsymso and btf_vmlinux_bin_o where they are generated
 - Remove unneeded variable, kallsymso_prev
 - Introduce the btf_data variable
 - Introduce the strip_debug flag instead of checking the output name

No functional change intended.

<title>kbuild: explicitly run mksysmap as sed script from link-vmlinux.sh</title>

<content type='text'>
In commit b18b047002b7 ("kbuild: change scripts/mksysmap into sed
script"), the mksysmap script was transformed into a sed script,
made directly executable with "#!/bin/sed -f". Apparently, the path to
sed is different on NixOS.

The shebang can't use the env command, otherwise the "sed -f" command
would be treated as a single argument. This can be solved with the -S
flag, but that is a GNU extension. Explicitly use sed instead of relying
on the executable shebang to fix NixOS builds without breaking build
environments using Busybox.

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
