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. To fix vdso, this does:
1. add -m(big|little)-endian to $CPP
2. add target to $KBUILD_CPPFLAGS as otherwise clang ignores -m(big|little)-endian if
the building platform does not support big endian (such as x86).

Changes:
v3:
* moved vdso cleanup in a separate patch
* only add target to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS for CLANG

v2:
* fix KBUILD_CPPFLAGS
* add CLANG_FLAGS to CPPFLAGS

You can avoid the duplication here by just doing:

KBUILD_CPPFLAGS    += $(CLANG_FLAGS)

This has potential of duplicating even more flags which is exactly what I am trying to avoid here.


I am still not super happy about the flag duplication but I am not sure I can think of a better solution. If KBUILD_CPPFLAGS are always included when building .o files,


My understanding is that KBUILD_CPPFLAGS should not be added for .o. Who does know or decide for sure about what CPPFLAGS are for? :)


maybe we should just add $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS instead of KBUILD_CFLAGS?
