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.

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.

With commit 9da0763b

 (kbuild: Use relative path when building in a
subdir of the source tree), the compiler messages include relative
paths. These are however relative to the build directory, not the
directory where make was started. Print the "Entering directory ..."
message once, so that IDEs/editors can find the source files.

On architectures that setup CROSS_COMPILE in their arch/*/Makefile
(arc, blackfin, m68k, mips, parisc, score, sh, tile, unicore32, xtensa),
cc-option and cc-disable-warning may check against the wrong compiler,
causing errors like

    cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-maybe-uninitialized"

if the host gcc supports a compiler option, while the cross compiler
doesn't support that option.

Move all logic using cc-option or cc-disable-warning below the inclusion
of the arch's Makefile to fix this.

Introduced by
  - commit e74fc973 ("Turn off
    -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os"),
  - commit 61163efa

 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux:
    Add Kbuild support for building kernel with Clang").

As -Wno-maybe-uninitialized requires a quite recent gcc (gcc 4.6.3 on
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS doesn't support it), this only showed up recently (gcc
4.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS does support it).

Both gcc (well, actually gnu as) and clang support the "-Wa,-gdwarf-2" option
(though clang does not support "-Wa,--gdwarf-2"). Since these flags are equivalent
in meaning, this patch uses the one which is better supported across compilers.

When doing make O=<subdir>, use '..' to refer to the source tree. This
allows for more readable compiler messages, and, more importantly, it
sets the VPATH to '..', so filenames in WARN_ON() etc. will be shorter.

When not using O=, $(srctree) refers to the same directory as
$(objtree), so we can set it to '.' as well. This makes the default
include path more compact and results in more readable messages from the
compiler. The only case where we need the absolute path is when creating
the 'source' symlink in /lib/modules.

The main Makefile sets its working directory to the object tree and
never changes it again. Therefore, we can use '.' instead of the
absolute path. The only case where we need the absolute path is when
creating the 'build' symlink in /lib/modules.
