Randy reports the following warning when building ARCH=ia64 with
CONFIG_IA64_PALINFO=m:

../scripts/Makefile.build:68: 'arch/ia64/kernel/palinfo.ko' will not be built even though obj-m is specified.
../scripts/Makefile.build:69: You cannot use subdir-y/m to visit a module Makefile. Use obj-y/m instead.

This message is actually false-positive, and you can get palinfo.ko
correctly built. It is emitted in the archprepare stage, where Kbuild
descends into arch/ia64/kernel to generate include/generated/nr-irqs.h
instead of any kind of kernel objects.

arch/ia64/kernel/nr-irqs.c was introduced by commit 213060a4d699
("[IA64] pvops: paravirtualize NR_IRQS") to pre-calculate:

   NR_IRQS = max(IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS, XEN_NR_IRQS, FOO_NR_IRQS...)

Since commit d52eefb47d4e ("ia64/xen: Remove Xen support for ia64"), this
union contains just one field, making NR_IRQS and IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS
always match.

So, the following hard-coding now works:

  #define NR_IRQS                IA64_NATIVE_NR_IRQS

If you need to re-introduce NR_IRQS = max(...) gimmick in the future,
please try to implement it in asm-offsets.c instead of a separate file.
It will be possible because the header inclusion has been consolidated
to make asm-offsets.c independent of &lt;asm/irqs.h&gt;.

<content type='text'>
Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the
'python' command any more.

As in commit 51839e29cb59 ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"),
we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they
are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3.

This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing
users to 'PYTHON3'.

BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful
material.

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Also note that ia64 supports oprofile but not perf and profiling
shouldn't be working anyway currently.

Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.

<title>kbuild: preprocess module linker script</title>

<id>urn:sha1:596b0474d3d9b1242eab713f84d8873f9887d980</id>
<content type='text'>
There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)

The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.

You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.

scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.

You can add arch-specific sections in &lt;asm/module.lds.h&gt;.

<title>kbuild: fix broken builds because of GZIP,BZIP2,LZOP variables</title>

<content type='text'>
Redefine GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP variables as KGZIP, KBZIP2, KLZOP resp.
GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP env variables are reserved by the tools. The original
attempt to redefine them internally doesn't work in makefiles/scripts
intercall scenarios, e.g., "make GZIP=gzip bindeb-pkg" and results in
broken builds. There can be other broken build commands because of this,
so the universal solution is to use non-reserved env variables for the
compression tools.

<id>urn:sha1:8dfb61dcbaceb19a5ded5e9c9dcf8d05acc32294</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools,
such as pigz, pbzip2, pxz. For example, multi-threaded tools to
speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2

Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env
vars are reserved by the tools. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete
since 2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) still rely
on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent.

The credit goes to @grsecurity.

As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use:
$ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0"
