Sparse uses the same executable for all archs and uses flags
like -m64, -mbig-endian or -D__arm__ for arch-specific parameters.
But Sparse also uses value from the host machine used to build
Sparse as default value for the target machine.This works, of course, well for native build but can create
problems when cross-compiling, like defining both '__i386__'
and '__arm__' when cross-compiling for arm on a x86-64 machine.Fix this by explicitely telling sparse the target architecture.

Pull Kselftest fixes from Shuah Khan:
"Fixes for existing tests and the framework.Cristian Marussi's patches add the ability to skip targets (tests) and
exclude tests that didn't build from run-list. These patches improve
the Kselftest results. Ability to skip targets helps avoid running
tests that aren't supported in certain environments. As an example,
bpf tests from mainline aren't supported on stable kernels and have
dependency on bleeding edge llvm. Being able to skip bpf on systems
that can't meet this llvm dependency will be helpful.Kselftest can be built and installed from the main Makefile. This
change help simplify Kselftest use-cases which addresses request from
users.Kees Cook added per test timeout support to limit individual test

Add kselftest-all target to build tests from the top level
Makefile. This is to simplify kselftest use-cases for CI and
distributions where build and test systems are different.Current kselftest target builds and runs tests on a development
system which is a developer use-case.Add kselftest-install target to install tests from the top level
Makefile. This is to simplify kselftest use-cases for CI and
distributions where build and test systems are different.This change addresses requests from developers and testers to add
support for installing kselftest from the main Makefile.In addition, make the install directory the same when install is
run using "make kselftest-install" or by running kselftest_install.sh.
Also fix the INSTALL_PATH variable conflict between main Makefile and

Pull modules updates from Jessica Yu:
"The main bulk of this pull request introduces a new exported symbol
namespaces feature. The number of exported symbols is increasingly
growing with each release (we're at about 31k exports as of 5.3-rc7)
and we currently have no way of visualizing how these symbols are
"clustered" or making sense of this huge export surface.Namespacing exported symbols allows kernel developers to more
explicitly partition and categorize exported symbols, as well as more
easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols to other parts
of the kernel. For starters, we have introduced the USB_STORAGE
namespace to demonstrate the API's usage. I have briefly summarized
the feature and its main motivations in the tag below.Summary:
- Introduce exported symbol namespaces.
This new feature allows subsystem maintainers to partition and
categorize their exported symbols into explicit namespaces. Module
authors are now required to import the namespaces they need.Some of the main motivations of this feature include: allowing
kernel developers to better manage the export surface, allow
subsystem maintainers to explicitly state that usage of some
exported symbols should only be limited to certain users (think:
inter-module or inter-driver symbols, debugging symbols, etc), as
well as more easily limiting the availability of namespaced symbols
to other parts of the kernel.With the module import requirement, it is also easier to spot the
misuse of exported symbols during patch review.Two new macros are introduced: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() and
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). The API is thoroughly documented in
Documentation/kbuild/namespaces.rst.- Some small code and kbuild cleanups here and there"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"Although there isn't tonnes of code in terms of line count, there are
a fair few headline features which I've noted both in the tag and also
in the merge commits when I pulled everything together.The part I'm most pleased with is that we had 35 contributors this
time around, which feels like a big jump from the usual small group of
core arm64 arch developers. Hopefully they all enjoyed it so much that
they'll continue to contribute, but we'll see.It's probably worth highlighting that we've pulled in a branch from
the risc-v folks which moves our CPU topology code out to where it can
be shared with others.Summary:
- 52-bit virtual addressing in the kernel
- New ABI to allow tagged user pointers to be dereferenced by
syscalls- Early RNG seeding by the bootloader
- Improve robustness of SMP boot
- Fix TLB invalidation in light of recent architectural
clarifications- Support for i.MX8 DDR PMU
- Remove direct LSE instruction patching in favour of static keys
- Function error injection using kprobes
- Support for the PPTT "thread" flag introduced by ACPI 6.3
- Move PSCI idle code into proper cpuidle driver
- Relaxation of implicit I/O memory barriers
- Build with RELR relocations when toolchain supports them
- Numerous cleanups and non-critical fixes"

A script that uses the '.ns_deps' files generated by modpost to
automatically add the required symbol namespace dependencies to each
module.Usage:
1) Move some symbols to a namespace with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() or define
DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
2) Run 'make' (or 'make modules') and get warnings about modules not
importing that namespace.
3) Run 'make nsdeps' to automatically add required import statements
to said modules.This makes it easer for subsystem maintainers to introduce and maintain
symbol namespaces into their codebase.Co-developed-by: Martijn Coenen

This patch adds an option to modpost to generate a .ns_deps file
per module, containing the namespace dependencies for that module.E.g. if the linked module my-module.ko would depend on the symbol
myfunc.MY_NS in the namespace MY_NS, the my-module.ns_deps file created
by modpost would contain the entry MY_NS to express the namespace
dependency of my-module imposed by using the symbol myfunc.These files can subsequently be used by static analysis tools (like
coccinelle scripts) to address issues with missing namespace imports. A
later patch of this series will introduce such a script 'nsdeps' and a
corresponding make target to automatically add missing
MODULE_IMPORT_NS() definitions to the module's sources. For that it uses
the information provided in the generated .ns_deps files.Co-developed-by: Martijn Coenen
