commit c9c6837d39311b0cc14cdbe7c18e815ab44aefb1 upstream.
gcc-6 started warning by default about variables that are not
used anywhere and that are marked 'const', generating many
false positives in an allmodconfig build, e.g.:
arch/arm/mach-davinci/board-da830-evm.c:282:20: warning: 'da830_evm_emif25_pins' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
arch/arm/plat-omap/dmtimer.c:958:34: warning: 'omap_timer_match' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/bluetooth/hci_bcm.c:625:39: warning: 'acpi_bcm_default_gpios' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c:92:18: warning: 'reg_map_omap4' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/devfreq/exynos/exynos5_bus.c:381:32: warning: 'exynos5_busfreq_int_pm' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
drivers/dma/mv_xor.c:1139:34: warning: 'mv_xor_dt_ids' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
This is similar to the existing -Wunused-but-set-variable warning
that was added in an earlier release and that we disable by default
now and only enable when W=1 is set, so it makes sense to do
the same here. Once we have eliminated the majority of the
warnings for both, we can put them back into the default list.
We probably want this in backport kernels as well, to allow building
them with gcc-6 without introducing extra warnings.

commit c87bf431448b404a6ef5fbabd74c0e3e42157a7f upstream.
Enabling CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL produces us a lot of warnings like
lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c: In function 'lz4_compresshcctx':
lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c:514:1: warning: the frame size of 1504 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
After some investigation, I found that this behavior started with gcc-4.9,
and opened https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69702.
A suggested workaround for it is to use the -fno-tree-loop-im
flag that turns off one of the optimization stages in gcc, so the
code runs a little slower but does not use excessive amounts
of stack.
We could make this conditional on the gcc version, but I could not
find an easy way to do this in Kbuild and the benefit would be
fairly small, given that most of the gcc version in production are
affected now.
I'm marking this for 'stable' backports because it addresses a bug
with code generation in gcc that exists in all kernel versions
with the affected gcc releases.

commit 61754c18752ffb78145671e94f053fb202fff041 upstream.
Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command
line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main
Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler
option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to
fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and
ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild
variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS
and KCFLAGS variables.

commit 51b97e354ba9fce1890cf38ecc754aa49677fc89 upstream.
Sasha Levin reports:
"gcc5 changes the default standard to c11, which makes kernel build
unhappy
Explicitly define the kernel standard to be gnu89 which should keep
everything working exactly like it was before gcc5"
There are multiple small issues with the new default, but the biggest
issue seems to be that the old - and very useful - GNU extension to
allow a cast in front of an initializer has gone away.
Patch updated by Kirill:
"I'm pretty sure all gcc versions you can build kernel with supports
-std=gnu89. cc-option is redunrant.
We also need to adjust HOSTCFLAGS otherwise allmodconfig fails for me"
Note by Andrew Pinski:
"Yes it was reported and both problems relating to this extension has
been added to gnu99 and gnu11. Though there are other issues with the
kernel dealing with extern inline have different semantics between
gnu89 and gnu99/11"
End result: we may be able to move up to a newer stdc model eventually,
but right now the newer models have some annoying deficiencies, so the
traditional "gnu89" model ends up being the preferred one.

Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random
oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling
the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug
apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means
that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1.
The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill
operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can
corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other
effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in
Michel's case.
This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by
Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments
when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the
problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for
variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code
generation problems.
Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows
non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we
can do
export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1
to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is
independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything
twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results).
Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail
(even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc
compare failure.

Pull kbuild fixes from Michal Marek:
"Three more fixes for the relative build dir feature:
- Shut up make -s again
- Fix for rpm/deb/tar-pkg with O=<subdir>
- Fix for CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE"
* 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
firmware: Create directories for external firmware
kbuild: Fix packaging targets with relative $(srctree)
kbuild: Do not print the build directory with make -s
|

All other users of Makefile.build set $(obj) to the name of the
subdirectory to build. Do the same for the packaging targets, otherwise
the build fails if $(srctree) is a relative directory:
$ make O=build tar-pkg
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mmarek/linux-2.6/build'
CHK include/config/kernel.release
../scripts/Makefile.build:44: ../../scripts/package/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../scripts/package/Makefile'. Stop.

Commit c2e28dc9 (kbuild: Print the name of the build directory) prints
the name of the build directory for O= builds, but we should not be
doing this in make -s mode, so that commands like
make -s O=<dir> kernelrelease
can be used by scripts. This matches the behavior of make itself, where
the -s option implies --no-print-directory.
