cc-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_CPPFLAGS when it determines
whether an option is supported or not. This is fine for options used to
build the kernel itself, however some components like the x86 boot code
use a different set of flags.
Add the new macro __cc-option which is a more generic version of
cc-option with additional parameters. One parameter is the compiler
with which the check should be performed, the other the compiler options
to be used instead KBUILD_C*FLAGS.
Refactor cc-option and hostcc-option to use __cc-option and move
hostcc-option to scripts/Kbuild.include.

Commit 90ac086bca10 ("Makefile: include arch/*/include/generated/uapi
before .../generated") introduced this for bisect'ability. The commit
chose to promote arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the search path
rather than cleaning stale headers.
After all, we found that approach was not enough, and ended up with
cleaning stale headers by commit cda2c65f981d ("kbuild: Remove stale
asm-generic wrappers").
So, the extra search path is no longer needed because Kbuild invokes
scripts/Makefile.asm-generic and remove stale headers before it starts
descending.
This commit is also reverting commit dc33db7c338e ("Kbuild: avoid
duplicate include path") because we have no more duplicated path.

This allows to detect -s (--silent) option without checking GNU Make
version.
As commit e36aaea28972 ("kbuild: Fix silent builds with make-4")
pointed out, GNU Make 4.x changed the way/order it presents the
command line options into MAKEFLAGS.
In Make 3.8x, 's' is always the first in a group of short options.
The group may be prefixed with '-' in some cases.
In Make 4.x, 's' is always the last in a group of short options.
As commit e6ac89fabd03 ("kbuild: Correctly deal with make options
which contain an 's'") addressed, we also need to deal with long
options that contain 's', like --warn-undefined-variables.
Test cases:
[1] command line input: make --silent
-> MAKEFLAGS for Make 3.8x: s
-> MAKEFLAGS for Make 4.x : s
[2] command line input: make -srR
-> MAKEFLAGS for Make 3.8x: sRr
-> MAKEFLAGS for Make 4.x : rRs
[3] command line input: make -s -rR --warn-undefined-variables
-> MAKEFLAGS for Make 3.8x: --warn-undefined-variables -sRr
-> MAKEFLAGS for Make 4.x : rRs --warn-undefined-variables
My idea to cater to all the cases more easily is to filter out long
options (--%), then search 's' with $(findstring ...). This way will
be more future-proof even if future versions of Make put 's' in the
middle of the group.

Mauro says:
This patch series convert the remaining DocBooks to ReST.
The first version was originally
send as 3 patch series:
[PATCH 00/36] Convert DocBook documents to ReST
[PATCH 0/5] Convert more books to ReST
[PATCH 00/13] Get rid of DocBook
The lsm book was added as if it were a text file under
Documentation. The plan is to merge it with another file
under Documentation/security, after both this series and
a security Documentation patch series gets merged.
It also adjusts some Sphinx-pedantic errors/warnings on
some kernel-doc markups.
I also added some patches here to add PDF output for all
existing ReST books.

Since commit 61562f981e92 ("uapi: export all arch specifics
directories"), "make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=$root/usr headers_install"
deletes standard glibc headers and others in $(root)/usr/include.
The cause of the issue is that headers_install now starts descending
from arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi with $(root)/usr/include for its
destination when installing asm headers. So, headers already there
are assumed to be unwanted.
When headers_install starts descending from include/uapi with
$(root)/usr/include for its destination, it works around the problem
by creating an dummy destination $(root)/usr/include/uapi, but this
is tricky.
To fix the problem in a clean way is to skip headers install/check
in include/uapi and arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi because we know
there are only sub-directories in uapi directories. A good side
effect is the empty destination $(root)/usr/include/uapi will go
away.
I am also removing the trailing slash in the headers_check target to
skip checking in arch/$(hdr-arch)/include/uapi.

This patch removes the need of subdir-y. Now all files/directories under
arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ are exported.
The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make
headers_install_all': directories asm-<arch> are replaced by arch-<arch>/.
Those new directories contains all files/directories of the specified arch.
Note that only cris and tile have more directories than only asm:
- arch-v[10|32] for cris;
- arch for tile.

The Linux Kernel relies on GCC's acceptance of inline assembly as an
opaque object which will not have any validation performed on the content.
The current behaviour in LLVM is to perform validation of the contents by
means of parsing the input if the MC layer can handle it.
Disable clangs integrated assembler and use the GNU assembler instead.

Add cross target to CC if using clang. Also add custom gcc toolchain
path for fallback gcc tools.
Clang will fallback to using things like ld, as, and libgcc if
(respectively) one of the llvm linkers isn't available, the integrated
assembler is turned off, or an appropriately cross-compiled version of
compiler-rt isn't available. To this end, you can specify the path to
this fallback gcc toolchain with GCC_TOOLCHAIN.

Since commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to
cc-option to support clang"), cc-option and friends work nicely
for clang.
However, -Wno-unknown-warning-option makes clang happy with any
unknown warning options even if -Werror is specified.
Once -Wno-unknown-warning-option is added, any succeeding call of
cc-disable-warning is evaluated positive, then unknown warning
options are accepted. This should be dropped.

CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION:
warning: -ffunction-sections disabled; it makes profiling impossible [enabled by default]
"
Since commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to
cc-option to support clang"), warnings are treated as errors in
cc-option checks. CC_FLAGS_FTRACE is blindly added to KBUILD_CFLAGS,
so $(call cc-option,-ffunction-sections,) should be moved below it
in order to detect the conflict between the two options.

The latest change of asm goto support check added passing of KBUILD_CFLAGS
to compiler. When these flags reference gcc plugins that are not built yet,
the check fails.
When one runs "make bzImage" followed by "make modules", the kernel is always
built with HAVE_JUMP_LABEL disabled, while the modules are built depending on
CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL. If HAVE_JUMP_LABEL macro happens to be different, modules
are built with undefined references, e.g.:
ERROR: "static_key_slow_inc" [net/netfilter/xt_TEE.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "static_key_slow_dec" [net/netfilter/xt_TEE.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "static_key_slow_dec" [net/netfilter/nft_meta.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "static_key_slow_inc" [net/netfilter/nft_meta.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "nf_hooks_needed" [net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs.ko] undefined!

ERROR: "static_key_count" [net/ipv6/ipv6.ko] undefined!
ERROR: "static_key_slow_inc" [net/ipv6/ipv6.ko] undefined!
This change moves the check before all these references are added
to KBUILD_CFLAGS. This is correct because subsequent KBUILD_CFLAGS
modifications are not relevant to this check.

In commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning
for "make W=1""), I reverted another change that happened to fix a problem
with old compilers, and now we get this report again with old compilers
(prior to gcc-4.8) and GCOV enabled:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.c: In function 'intel_ring_setup_status_page':
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ringbuffer.c:438: error: 'mmio.reg' may be used uninitialized in this function
At top level:
>> cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-maybe-uninitialized"
The problem is that we turn off the warning conditionally in a number
of places as we should, but one of them does it unconditionally.
Instead, change it to call cc-disable-warning as we do elsewhere.
The original patch that caused it was merged into linux-4.7, then
4.8 removed the change and 4.9 brought it back, so we probably want
a backport to 4.9 once this is merged.
Use a ':=' assignment instead of '=' to force the cc-disable-warning
call to only be evaluated once instead of every time.

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"On the kernel side the main changes in this cycle were:
- Add Intel Kaby Lake CPU support (Srinivas Pandruvada)
- AMD uncore driver updates for fam17 (Janakarajan Natarajan)
- Intel/PT updates and core events optimizations and cleanups
(Alexander Shishkin)
- cgroups events fixes (David Carrillo-Cisneros)
- kprobes improvements (Masami Hiramatsu)
- ... plus misc fixes and updates.
On the tooling side the main changes were:
- Support clang build in tools/{perf,lib/{bpf,traceevent,api}} with
CC=clang, to, for instance, take advantage of better warnings
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo):
- Introduce the 'delta-abs' 'perf diff' compute method, that orders
the histogram entries by the absolute value of the percentage delta
for a function in two perf.data files, i.e. the functions that
changed the most (increase or decrease in samples) comes first
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add support for parsing Intel uncore vendor event files and add
uncore vendor events for the Intel server processors (Haswell,
Broadwell, IvyBridge), Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Broadwell DE
(Andi Kleen)
- Introduce 'perf ftrace' a perf front end to the kernel's ftrace
function and function_graph tracer, defaulting to the
"function_graph" tracer, more work will be done in reviving this
effort, forward porting it from its initial patch submission
(Namhyung Kim)
- Add 'e' and 'c' hotkeys to expand/collapse call chains for a single
hist entry in the 'perf report' and 'perf top' TUI (Jiri Olsa)
- Account thread wait time (off CPU time) separately: sleep, iowait
and preempt, based on the prev_state of the last event, show the
breakdown when using "perf sched timehist --state" (Namhyumg Kim)
- Add more triggers to switch the output file (perf.data.TIMESTAMP).
Now, in addition to switching to a different output file when
receiving a SIGUSR2, one can also specify file size and time based
triggers:
perf record -a --switch-output=signal
is equivalent to what we had before:
perf record -a --switch-output
While we can also ask for the file to be "sliced" by size, taking
into account that that will happen only when we get woken up by the
kernel, i.e. one has to take into account the --mmap-pages (the
size of the perf mmap ring buffer):
perf record -a --switch-output=2G
will break the perf.data output into multiple files limited to 2GB
of samples, right when generating the output.
For time based samples, alert() will be used, so to have 1 minute
limited perf.data output files:
perf record -a --switch-output=1m
(Jiri Olsa)
- Improve 'perf trace' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- 'perf kallsyms' toy tool to look for extended symbol information on
the running kernel and demonstrate the machine/thread/symbol APIs
for use in other tools, such as 'perf probe' (Arnaldo Carvalho de
Melo)
- ... plus tons of other changes, see the shortlog and Git log for
details"

When building a CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION enabled kernel without the
libelf devel package installed, the Makefile prints a warning:
"Cannot use CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel"
But when building an out-of-tree module, the warning doesn't show.
Instead it tries to use objtool, and the build fails with:
/bin/sh: ./tools/objtool/objtool: No such file or directory
Make sure the warning and the disabling of objtool occur in all cases,
by moving the CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION checks outside the 'ifeq
($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),)' block in the Makefile.

Documentation shouldn't have broken links.
sphinx linkcheck builder scans all documents for external links, tries
to open them with urllib2, and writes an overview which ones are broken
and redirected to standard output and to output.txt in the output
directory.
