10668220a9 kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpost
Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the
bad combinations of sections that refer to other
sections.
Compared to the previous approach we are much less
dependent on knowledge of what additional sections
the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false
positives low.

The implmentation is changed to use a table based
lookup and we now check all combinations in first
pass so we no longer need separate passes for init
and exit sections.

Tested that the same warnings are generated for
an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

9ad21c3f3e kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpost
The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.

Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.

With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.

d1f25e6658 kbuild: fix so modpost can now check any .o file

in mm/ (as an example).

o locate * near variable not type
o Fix a format specifier for sizeof()
o Corrected placement of '{' and '}'

09af091f50 kconfig: make kconfig MinGW friendly
Kconfig is powerfull tool. So powerfull that more and more software
projects are using it for configuration. So instead of fixing some of
them one by one, lets fix it in kernel and wait for sync.

This work was originaly done for PTXdist - GPL licensed build system for
userlands and cross-compilers, but it will not hurt kernel kconfig
either. PTXdist menuconfig now works on Windows linked with PDCurses and
compiled using MinGW - there is no termios and signals.

* Do not include <sys/wait.h> and <signal.h> (comes from times when
  lxdialog was separate process)
* Do not mess with termios directly and let curses tell screen size.
  Comment to commit c8dc68ad0f says
  check for screen size could be removed later, but because it didn't
  happen for more than year I left it here as well.
* Save cursor position added by Sam

Full changelog:
- replaced non-standard "==" by standard "="
- replaced non-standard "source" statement by POSIX "dot" command
- use leading ./ on mktemp filename to force the tempfile to a local
  directory, so that the search path is not used
- replace bash syntax to remove leading dot by similar POSIX syntax
- added missing (optional/not required) $ signs to shell variable names

 (for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in
 /lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko)

This was the case only when specifying a trailing slash to M=..

2f4b489b77 kconfig: use getopt() in conf.c for handling command line arguments
Switch from doing our own parsing of command line arguments to
using getopt(3) to do it.  Aside from simplifying things, this allows us to
specify multiple arguments; the old code could only accept two arguments
(input_mode and kconfig name).

Note some subtle changes:
 - The argument '-?' is no longer supported.
 - '-h' is not treated as an error, so output goes to stdout, and we
   exit with '0'.
 - There is no compatibility checking amongst arguments; the last option
   will simply override earlier options.  For example, 'conf -n -y foo'
   is perfectly valid now (input_mode will be set_yes).  Previously, that
   would have been an error ("can't find file -y").

6e588f6dcf kconfig: if ncurses-devel is missing then say so
With this patch when ncurses-devel (or whatever it is named)
is missing trying to run menuconfig will result in this:

$ make menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
 *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
 *** required header files.
 *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
 ***
 *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
 ***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

Much better than before where we just listed some build errors.
The other *config targets will work indepenednt on ncurses
being present or not.

551559e13a kbuild: implement modules.order
When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile.  This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.

When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected.  However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules).  This causes confusion.

The solution is two-parted.  This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile.  The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.

Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.

Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.
