Commit 63ffe00d8c93 ("kbuild: Fix running modpost with musl libc")
accidentally turned the unresolved symbol warnings into errors when
vmlinux.o (for in-tree builds) or Module.symver (for external module
builds) is missing.

In those cases, unresolved symbols are expected, but the -w option
is not set because 'missing-input' is referenced before set.

Move $(missing-input) back to the original place. This should be fine
for musl libc because vmlinux.o and -w are not added at the same time.

With this change, -w may be passed twice, but it is not a big deal.

<content type='text'>
commit 3d57e1b7b1d4 ("kbuild: refactor the prerequisites of the modpost
rule") moved 'vmlinux.o' inside modpost-args, possibly before some of
the other options. However, getopt() in musl libc follows POSIX and
stops looking for options upon reaching the first non-option argument.
As a result, the '-T' option is misinterpreted as a positional argument,
and the build fails:

  make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost
     scripts/mod/modpost   -E   -o Module.symvers vmlinux.o -T modules.order
  -T: No such file or directory
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:137: Module.symvers] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:1960: modpost] Error 2

The fix is to move all options before 'vmlinux.o' in modpost-args.

The prerequisites of modpost are cluttered. The variables *-if-present
and *-if-needed are unreadable.

It is cleaner to append them into modpost-deps.

<title>kbuild: change module.order to list *.o instead of *.ko</title>

scripts/Makefile.build replaces the suffix .o with .ko, then
scripts/Makefile.modpost calls the sed command to change .ko back
to the original .o suffix.

Instead of converting the suffixes back-and-forth, store the .o paths
in modules.order, and replace it with .ko in 'make modules_install'.

This avoids the unneeded sed command.

While building, installing, cleaning, Kbuild visits sub-directories
and includes 'Kbuild' or 'Makefile' that exists there.

Add 'kbuild-file' macro, and reuse it from scripts/Makefie.*

Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") introduced
a typo (moudle.symvers-if-present) which results in the kernel's
Module.symvers to not be included as a prerequisite for
$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/Module.symvers. Fix the typo to restore the intended
functionality.

The musl implementation of getopt stops looking for options after the
first non-option argument. Put the options before the non-option
argument so environments using musl can still build the kernel and
modules.

<title>kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3216484550610470013b7ce1c9ed272da0a74589</id>
<content type='text'>
The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Modpost generates .vmlinux.export.c and *.mod.c, which are prerequisites
of vmlinux and modules, respectively.

The modpost stage should be re-run when the modpost code is updated.

<title>kbuild: unify two modpost invocations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f73edc8951b2de515b5ecc8a357ccd47dd41077e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, modpost is executed twice; first for vmlinux, second
for modules.

This commit merges them.

Current build flow
==================

  1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
    2) link vmlinux.o
      3) modpost for vmlinux
        4) link vmlinux
          5) modpost for modules
            6) link modules (*.ko)

The build steps 1) through 6) are serialized, that is, modules are
built after vmlinux. You do not get benefits of parallel builds when
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh is being run.

New build flow
==============

  1) build obj-y and obj-m objects
    2) link vmlinux.o
      3) modpost for vmlinux and modules
        4a) link vmlinux
        4b) link modules (*.ko)

In the new build flow, modpost is invoked just once.

vmlinux and modules are built in parallel. One exception is
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y, where modules depend on vmlinux.
