[PATCH kernel v2] powerpc/makefile: Do not redefine $(CPP) for preprocessor

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Tue May 11 2021 - 00:59:02 EST


The $(CPP) (do only preprocessing) macro is already defined in Makefile.
However POWERPC redefines it and adds $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) which results
in flags duplication. Which is not a big deal by itself except for
the flags which depend on other flags and the compiler checks them
as it parses the command line.

Specifically, scripts/Makefile.build:304 generates ksyms for .S files.
If clang+llvm+sanitizer are enabled, this results in

-emit-llvm-bc -fno-lto -flto -fvisibility=hidden \
-fsanitize=cfi-mfcall -fno-lto ...

in the clang command line and triggers error:

clang-13: error: invalid argument '-fsanitize=cfi-mfcall' only allowed with '-flto'

This removes unnecessary CPP redefinition. Which works fine as in most
place KBUILD_CFLAGS is passed to $CPP except
arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/vdso(32|64).lds (and probably some others,
not yet detected). To fix vdso, we do:
1. explicitly add -m(big|little)-endian to $CPP
2. (for clang) add $CLANG_FLAGS to $KBUILD_CPPFLAGS as otherwise clang
silently ignores -m(big|little)-endian if the building platform does not
support big endian (such as x86) so --prefix= is required.

While at this, remove some duplication from CPPFLAGS_vdso(32|64)
as cmd_cpp_lds_S has them anyway. It still puzzles me why we need -C
(preserve comments in the preprocessor output) flag here.
