The $(CPP) (do only preprocessing) macro is already defined in Makefile.
However POWERPC redefines it and adds $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) which results
in flags duplication. Which is not a big deal by itself except for
the flags which depend on other flags and the compiler checks them
as it parses the command line.
Specifically, scripts/Makefile.build:304 generates ksyms for .S files.
If clang+llvm+sanitizer are enabled, this results in
-fno-lto -flto -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall .... -fno-lto -flto -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall
in the clang command line and triggers error:
clang-13: error: invalid argument '-fsanitize=cfi-mfcall' only allowed with '-flto'
This removes unnecessary CPP redifinition.

Hi Alexey,

-fno-lto -flto -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall .... -fno-lto -flto -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall
Checkpatch doesn't like this line:
WARNING:COMMIT_LOG_LONG_LINE: Possible unwrapped commit description (prefer a maximum 75 chars per line)
#14:
-fno-lto -flto -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall .... -fno-lto -flto -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall
However, it doesn't make sense to wrap the line so we should just ignore
checkpatch here.

I was trying to check the history to see why powerpc has its own
definition. It seems to date back at least as far as merging the two
powerpc platforms into one, maybe it was helpful then. I agree it
doesn't seem to be needed now.
Snowpatch claims that this breaks the build, but I haven't been able to
reproduce the issue in either pmac32 or ppc64 defconfig. I have sent it
off to a fork of mpe's linux-ci repo to see if any of those builds hit
any issues: https://github.com/daxtens/linux-ci/actions
Assuming that doesn't break, this patch looks good to me:

To be precise, you need LLVM + LTO + byte code (-emit-llvm-bc), I am not
even sure what is the point of having -flto without -emit-llvm-bc.
No flags duplication:
[fstn1-p1 1]$ /mnt/sdb/pbuild/llvm-no-lto/bin/clang-13 -emit-llvm-bc
-fno-lto -flto -fvisibility=hidden -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall
/mnt/sdb/pbuild/llvm-bugs/1/a.c
/usr/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol mit-llvm-bc; defaulting
to 00000000100003e0
/usr/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/crt1.o:(.data.rel.ro.local+0x8):
undefined reference to `main'
clang-13: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)
=> command line is fine, the file is not (but it is for debugging this
problem).
Now I am adding the second -fno-lto:
[fstn1-p1 1]$ /mnt/sdb/pbuild/llvm-no-lto/bin/clang-13 -emit-llvm-bc
-fno-lto -flto -fvisibility=hidden -fsanitize=cfi-mfcall -fno-lto
/mnt/sdb/pbuild/llvm-bugs/1/a.c
clang-13: error: invalid argument '-fsanitize=cfi-mfcall' only allowed
with '-flto'
=> failed.

I digged a bit deaper. It has been there since the introduction of arch/ppc/ in Linux 1.3.45
At the time, there was the exact same CPP definition in arch/mips/Makefile
The CPP definition in mips disappeared is Linux 2.1.44pre3.
Since that version, ppc has been the only one with such CPP re-definition.
Snowpatch claims that this breaks the build, but I haven't been able to
reproduce the issue in either pmac32 or ppc64 defconfig. I have sent it
off to a fork of mpe's linux-ci repo to see if any of those builds hit

By the way, I find snowpatch quite useless these days. It seems to delete the reports a few minutes
after the test. We are less than one day after the patch was submitted and the report of the build
failures are already gone.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. It needs to send emails to the list with its
results, with a link to a location that retains the logs for some
reasonable period.
