commit ff2e6efda0d5c51b33e2bcc0b0b981ac0a0ef214 upstream.
[backported for dependency, skipped Makefile.modfinal change,
because module BTF is not supported in 5.10]
The ccache tool can be used to speed up cross-compilation, by calling the
compiler and binutils through ccache. For example, following should work:
$ export ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-"
$ make M=drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/
but pahole fails to extract the BTF info from DWARF, breaking the build:
CC [M] drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip//rockchipdrm.mod.o
LD [M] drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip//rockchipdrm.ko
BTF [M] drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip//rockchipdrm.ko
aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy: invalid option -- 'J'
Usage: aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy [option(s)] in-file [out-file]
Copies a binary file, possibly transforming it in the process
...
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:156: __modpost] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1866: modules] Error 2
this fails because OBJCOPY is set to "ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-copy" and
later pahole is executed with the following command line:
LLVM_OBJCOPY=$(OBJCOPY) $(PAHOLE) -J --btf_base vmlinux $@
which gets expanded to:
LLVM_OBJCOPY=ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy pahole -J ...
instead of:
LLVM_OBJCOPY="ccache aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy" pahole -J ...
Fixes: 5f9ae91f7c0d ("kbuild: Build kernel module BTFs if BTF is enabled and pahole supports it")

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.
