[PATCH v3 bpf-next 00/14] samples: bpf: improve/fix cross-compilation

From: Ivan Khoronzhuk
Date: Mon Sep 16 2019 - 06:54:44 EST


This series contains mainly fixes/improvements for cross-compilation
but not only, tested for arm, arm64, but intended for any arch.
Also verified on native build (not cross compilation) for x86_64
and arm.

Initial RFC link:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/8/29/1665

Prev. version:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/10/331

Besides the patches given here, the RFC also contains couple patches
related to llvm clang
arm: include: asm: swab: mask rev16 instruction for clang
arm: include: asm: unified: mask .syntax unified for clang
They are necessarily to verify arm build.

The change touches not only cross-compilation and can have impact on
other archs and build environments, so might be good idea to verify
it in order to add appropriate changes, some warn options could be
tuned also.

All is tested on x86-64 with clang installed (has to be built containing
targets for arm, arm64..., see llc --version, usually it's present already)

Instructions to test native on x86_64
=================================================
Native build on x86_64 is done in usual way and shouldn't have difference
except HOSTCC is now printed as CC wile building the samples.

Instructions to test cross compilation on arm64
=================================================
#Toolchain used for test:
gcc version 8.3.0
(GNU Toolchain for the A-profile Architecture 8.3-2019.03 (arm-rel-8.36))

# Get some arm64 FS, containing at least libelf

# Install this binary to some dir, say "sdk".
# Configure kernel (use defconfig as no matter), but clean everything
# before.

make ARCH=arm64 defconfig

# The kernel version used in sdk doesn't correspond to checked one,
# but for this verification only headers need to be syched,
# so install them:
make ARCH=arm64 headers_install

# or on SDK if need keep them in sync (not necessarily to verify):

make ARCH=arm64 INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/../sdk/\

Instructions to test cross compilation on arm

Based on bpf-next/master

v3..v2:
- renamed makefile.progs to makeifle.target, as more appropriate
- left only __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ for D options for arm
- for host build - left options from KBUILD_HOST for compatibility reasons
- split patch adding c/cxx/ld flags to libbpf by modules
- moved readme change to separate patch
- added patch setting options for cross-compile
- fixed issue with option error for syscall_nrs.S,
avoiding overlap for ccflags-y.

v2..v1:
- restructured patches order
- split "samples: bpf: Makefile: base progs build on Makefile.progs"
to make change more readable. It added couple nice extra patches.
- removed redundant patch:
"samples: bpf: Makefile: remove target for native build"
- added fix:
"samples: bpf: makefile: fix cookie_uid_helper_example obj build"
- limited -D option filter only for arm
- improved comments
- added couple instructions to verify cross compilation for arm and
arm64 arches based on TI am57xx and am65xx sdks.
- corrected include a little order
