Move the final link of vmlinux to a script to improve
readability and maintainability of the code.
The Makefile fragments used to link vmlinux has over the
years seen far too many changes and the logic had become
hard to follow.
As the process by nature is serialized there was
nothing gained including this in the Makefile.
"um" has special link requirments - and the
only way to handle this was to hard-code the linking
of "um" in the script.
This was better than trying to modularize it only for the
benefit of "um" anyway.
The shell script has been improved after input from:

sparc32 uses an additional final link to support btfix.
Introduce a new set of exported variables in the top-level Makefile
to make the extra linking step simpler.
sparc32 has hardcoded knowledge of kallsyms support. This fix
include support for EXTRA_KALLSYM_PASS=1.
The ugly part is that it is hardcoded in the arch/sparc/boot
Makefile.

from the toplevel kernel directory and have the respective tool built.
If you want to build and install it, do
$ make tools/<toolname>_install
$ make tools/<toolname>_clean
should clean the respective tool directories.
If you want to clean all in tools, simply do
$ make tools/clean
Also, if you want to get what the possible targets are, simply calling
$ make tools/

$ make tools/install

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
"__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.
Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.
The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.
Changes to existing files:
- <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the
include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header.
- <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.
- <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were
previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now
they have the proper 64-bit contents.
Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.
With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild
To use a generic file just add:
generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h>
For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.
When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.
The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.
The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/

Building a kernel with "make W=1" produces far too much noise to be
useful.
Divide the warning options in three groups:
W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant
W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignored
When building the whole kernel, those levels produce:
W=1 - 4859 warnings
W=2 - 1394 warnings
W=3 - 86666 warnings
respectively. Warnings have been counted with Geert's script at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-log/linux-log-summary.pl
Many warnings occur from .h files so fixing one file may have a nice
effect on the total number of warnings.
With these changes I am actually tempted to try W=1 now and then.
Previously there was just too much noise.
Borislav:
- make the W= levels exclusive
- move very noisy and making little sense for the kernel warnings to W=3
- drop -Woverlength-strings due to useless warning message
- copy explanatory text for the different warning levels to 'make help'
- recount warnings per level

At the moment we have the CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS Kconfig switch,
which users can enable or disable while configuring the kernel. This
option is then used by 'make' to determine whether an extra kallsyms
pass is needed or not.
However, this approach is not nice and confusing, and this patch moves
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS from Kconfig to Makefile instead. The
rationale is below.
1. CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is really about the build time, not
run-time. There is no real need for it to be in Kconfig. It is
just an additional work-around which should be used only in rare
cases, when someone breaks kallsyms, so Kbuild/Makefile is much
better place for this option.
2. Grepping CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS shows that many defconfigs have
it enabled, probably not because they try to work-around a kallsyms
bug, but just because the Kconfig help text is confusing and does
not really make it clear that this option should not be used unless
except when kallsyms is broken.
3. And since many people have CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS enabled in
their Kconfig, we do might fail to notice kallsyms bugs in time. E.g.,
many testers use "make allyesconfig" to test builds, which will enable
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS and kallsyms breakage will not be noticed.
To address that, this patch:
1. Kills CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS
2. Changes Makefile so that people can use "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1"
to enable the extra pass if needed. Additionally, they may define
KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS as an environment variable.
3. By default KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is disabled and if kallsyms has issues,
"make" should print a warning and suggest using KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS

Trivial conflict in fs/eventpoll.c (spelling vs addition)
While changing our build system over to use the headers_install target
as part of our klibc build, the following message started showing up in
our logs:
make[2]: `scripts/unifdef' is up to date.
It turns out that the build blindly invokes a recursive make on this
target, which causes make to emit this message when the target is
already up to date. This isn't seen for most targets as the rest of the
build relies primarily on the default target and on PHONY targets when
invoking make recursively.
Silence the above message when building unifdef as part of
headers_install by hiding it behind a new PHONY target called
"build_unifdef" that has an empty recipe.

Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build
object.
The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
process of writing their code, want to do the occasional
make W=1 [target.o]
and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
process.

If you try to build a kernel with KCONFIG_CONFIG set (to a value
not equal to .config) and that config sets CONFIG_IKCONFIG then the
build will fail with:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.config', needed by \
`kernel/config_data.gz'. Stop.
because the kernel/Makefile contains a direct reference to .config.
This issue has been present since the introduction of KCONFIG_CONFIG
in 14cdd3c402.

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
After verifying this works, other archs can add:
HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
instead of the perl version.

base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.
