Various binutils versions can resolve Thumb-2 branches to
locally-defined, preemptible global symbols as short-range "b.n"
branch instructions.
This is a problem, because there's no guarantee the final
destination of the symbol, or any candidate locations for a
trampoline, are within range of the branch. For this reason, the
kernel does not support fixing up the R_ARM_THM_JUMP11 (102)
relocation in modules at all, and it makes little sense to add
support.
The symptom is that the kernel fails with an "unsupported
relocation" error when loading some modules.
Until fixed tools are available, passing
-fno-optimize-sibling-calls to gcc should prevent gcc generating
code which hits this problem, at the cost of a bit of extra runtime
stack usage in some cases.
The problem is described in more detail at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/binutils-linaro/+bug/725126
Only Thumb-2 kernels are affected.
This patch adds a new CONFIG_THUMB2_AVOID_R_ARM_THM_JUMP11 config
option which adds -fno-optimize-sibling-calls to CFLAGS_MODULE
when building a Thumb-2 kernel.

We have 'install' and 'zinstall' for installing Image and zImage
kernels, so add 'uinstall' to complete the set.
This allows developers to have a ~/bin/installkernel script which (eg)
copies the kernel to the tftp server automatically once the kernel
has built, resulting in a better workflow.

Commit 18991197b4 added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.
The 1e621a8e37 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.
This problem was discussed here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.htmlhttp://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.
This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).
It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):
Section Headers:
[11] .data PROGBITS c07ce000 7ce000 020fc0 00 WA 0 0 32
[12] .notes NOTE c07eefc0 7eefc0 000024 00 AX 0 0 4
[13] .bss NOBITS c07ef000 7eefe4 01e628 00 WA 0 0 32
Program Headers:

and to get it exposed as /sys/kernel/notes used by perf tools.

Introduce a CPU_V6K configuration option for platforms to select if they
have a V6K CPU core. This allows us to identify whether we need to
support ARMv6 CPUs without the V6K SMP extensions at build time.
Currently CPU_V6K is just an alias for CPU_V6, and all places which
reference CPU_V6 are replaced by (CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K).
Select CPU_V6K from platforms which are known to be V6K-only.

This adds support for the family of Systems-on-Chip produced initially
by VIA and now its subsidiary WonderMedia that have recently become
widespread in lower-end Chinese ARM-based tablets and netbooks.
Support is included for both VT8500 and WM8505, selectable by a
configuration switch at kernel build time.
Included are basic machine initialization files, register and
interrupt definitions, support for the on-chip interrupt controller,
high-precision OS timer, GPIO lines, necessary macros for early debug,
pulse-width-modulated outputs control, as well as platform device
configurations for the specific drivers implemented elsewhere.

This allows for board specific issues to override decisions made in generic
code that might not be suitable due to some errata or the like, by making
the initcall hooks from those board specific files run after the core ones,
therefore avoiding ugly #ifdef's in core code.
