mainlining shenanigans
9686813f6e
We added a usage of try-run to pmu/ebb/Makefile to detect if the
toolchain supported the -no-pie option.
This fails if we build out-of-tree and the source tree is not
writable, as try-run tries to write its temporary files to the current
directory. That leads to the -no-pie option being silently dropped,
which leads to broken executables with some toolchains.
If we remove the redirect to /dev/null in try-run, we see the error:
make[3]: Entering directory '/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open output file .54.tmp: Read-only file system
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
And looking with strace we see it's trying to use a file that's in the
source tree:
lstat("/linux/tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/pmu/ebb/.54.tmp", 0x7ffffc0f83c8)
We can fix it by setting TMPOUT to point to the $(OUTPUT) directory,
and we can verify with strace it's now trying to write to the output
directory:
lstat("/output/kselftest/powerpc/pmu/ebb/.54.tmp", 0x7fffd1bf6bf8)
And also see that the -no-pie option is now correctly detected.
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
