kbuild: trace functions in subdirectories of lib/

ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)

exists here in sub-directories of lib/ to keep the behavior of
commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions").

Since that commit, not only the objects in lib/ but also the ones in
the sub-directories are excluded from ftrace (although the commit
description did not explicitly mention this).

However, most of library functions in sub-directories are not so hot.
Re-add them to ftrace.

Going forward, only the objects right under lib/ will be excluded.

kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y

CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file>.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.

Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.

Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.

The add/remove order works as follows:

[1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally

[2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile

[3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
current Makefile (New feature)

[4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file.

[5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file.

Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.

For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o

The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.

Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.

The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/
arch/powerpc/xmon/
arch/sh/
kernel/trace/

However, lib/ has several sub-directories.

To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:

lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build

I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

rslib: Add tests for the encoder and decoder

A Reed-Solomon code with minimum distance d can correct any error and
erasure pattern that satisfies 2 * #error + #erasures < d. If the
error correction capacity is exceeded, then correct decoding cannot be
guaranteed. The decoder must, however, return a valid codeword or report
failure.

There are two main tests:

- Check for correct behaviour up to the error correction capacity
- Check for correct behaviour beyond error corrupted capacity

Both tests are simple:

1. Generate random data
2. Encode data with the chosen code
3. Add errors and erasures to data
4. Decode the corrupted word
5. Check for correct behaviour

When testing up to capacity we test for:

- Correct decoding
- Correct return value (i.e. the number of corrected symbols)
- That the returned error positions are correct

There are two kinds of erasures; the erased symbol can be corrupted or
not. When counting the number of corrected symbols, erasures without
symbol corruption should not be counted. Similarly, the returned error
positions should only include positions where a correction is necessary.

We run the up to capacity tests for three different interfaces of
decode_rs:

- Use the correction buffers
- Use the correction buffers with syndromes provided by the caller
- Error correction in place (does not check the error positions)

When testing beyond capacity test for silent failures. A silent failure is
when the decoder returns success but the returned word is not a valid
codeword.

There are a couple of options for the tests:

- Verbosity.

- Whether to test for correct behaviour beyond capacity. Default is to
test beyond capacity.

- Whether to allow erasures without symbol corruption. Defaults to yes.

Note that the tests take a couple of minutes to complete.

[LIB] reed_solomon: Clean up trailing white spaces


# 1da177e4 16-Apr-2005 Linus Torvalds <torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org>

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
