[PATCH v2 00/15] kbuild: support 'userprogs' syntax

[Masahiro Yamada]

Several Makefiles use 'hostprogs' to build programs for the host
architecture where it is not appropriate to do so.
This is just because Kbuild lacks the support for building programs
for the target architecture.

This series introduce 'userprogs' syntax and use it from
sample and bpf Makefiles.

Sam worked on this in 2014.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/7/13/154

He used 'uapiprogs-y' but I just thought the meaning of
"UAPI programs" is unclear.

Naming the syntax is one of the most difficult parts.

I chose 'userprogs'. Anothor choice I had in my mind was 'targetprogs'.

You can test this series quickly by 'make allmodconfig samples/'

When building objects for userspace, [U] is displayed.

Changes for v2:
  - Fix ARCH=i386 build error for bpfilter_umh
  - Rename 'user-ccflags' to 'userccflags'
    because 'user-ccflags' would conflict if an object
    called 'user.o' exists in the directory.
  - Support 'userldflags'
