As a Kernel developer, I make heavy use of "make targz-pkg" in order to locally compile and remotely install my development Kernels. The nice feature I rely on is that after a normal "make", "make targz-pkg" only generates the tarball without having to recompile everything.
That was true until commit f28bc3c32c05 ("tracing: Handle CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately"). After it, running "make targz-pkg" after "make" will recompile the whole Kernel tree, making my development workflow much slower.
The Kernel is choosing to recompile everything because it claims the command line has changed. A diff of the .cmd files show a repeated -mfentry in one of the files. That is because "make targz-pkg" calls "make modules_install" and the environment is already populated with the exported variables, CC_FLAGS_FTRACE being one of them. Then, -mfentry gets duplicated because it is not protected behind an ifndef block, like -pg.
To complicate the problem a little bit more, architectures can define their own version CC_FLAGS_FTRACE, so our code not only has to consider recursive Makefiles, but also architecture overrides.
So in this patch we move CC_FLAGS_FTRACE up and unconditionally define it to -pg. Then we let the architecture Makefiles possibly override it, and finally append the extra options later. This ensures the variable is always fully redefined at each invocation so recursive Makefiles don't keep appending, and hopefully it maintains the intended behavior on how architectures can override the defaults..
Thanks Steven Rostedt and Vasily Gorbik for the help on this regression.
