61562f981e uapi: export all arch specifics directories
This patch removes the need of subdir-y. Now all files/directories under
arch/<arch>/include/uapi/ are exported.

The only change for userland is the layout of the command 'make
headers_install_all': directories asm-<arch> are replaced by arch-<arch>/.
Those new directories contains all files/directories of the specified arch.

Note that only cris and tile have more directories than only asm:
 - arch-v[10|32] for cris;
 - arch for tile.

fcc8487d47 uapi: export all headers under uapi directories
Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.

After this patch, the following files, which were not exported, are now
exported (with make headers_install_all):
asm-arc/kvm_para.h
asm-arc/ucontext.h
asm-blackfin/shmparam.h
asm-blackfin/ucontext.h

exported directories (like .install or .install.cmd).

Thanks to Julien Floret <julien.floret@6wind.com> for the tip to get all
subdirs with a pure makefile command.

For the record, note that exported files for asm directories are a mix of
files listed by:
 - include/uapi/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm;
 - arch/<arch>/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild;
 - arch/<arch>/include/asm/Kbuild.

237e3ad0f1 Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword
The "imply" keyword is a weak version of "select" where the target
config symbol can still be turned off, avoiding those pitfalls that come
with the "select" keyword.

This is useful e.g. with multiple drivers that want to indicate their
ability to hook into a secondary subsystem while allowing the user to
configure that subsystem out without also having to unset these drivers.

Currently, the same effect can almost be achieved with:

config DRIVER_A
	tristate

config DRIVER_B
	tristate

config DRIVER_C
	tristate

config DRIVER_D
	tristate

[...]

config SUBSYSTEM_X
	tristate
	default DRIVER_A || DRIVER_B || DRIVER_C || DRIVER_D || [...]

This is unwieldy to maintain especially with a large number of drivers.
Furthermore, there is no easy way to restrict the choice for SUBSYSTEM_X
to y or n, excluding m, when some drivers are built-in. The "select"
keyword allows for excluding m, but it excludes n as well. Hence
this "imply" keyword.  The above becomes:

config DRIVER_A
	tristate
	imply SUBSYSTEM_X

config DRIVER_B
	tristate
	imply SUBSYSTEM_X

[...]

config SUBSYSTEM_X
	tristate

This is much cleaner, and way more flexible than "select". SUBSYSTEM_X
can still be configured out, and it can be set as a module when none of
the drivers are configured in or all of them are modular.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates

54b880caf1 kbuild, x86: Track generated headers with generated-y
Track generated header files which aren't already in genhdr-y, alongside
generic-y wrappers in the */include/generated/[uapi/]asm/ directories.
Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the
purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen
hypercalls.

This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale
wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing
these headers which are generated separately.

Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command

Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler
option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to
fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and
ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild
variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS
and KCFLAGS variables.

5d2acfc7b9 kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT
"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT.  For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.

To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols.  Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT).  allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.

e062781397 kconfig: do not allow more than one symbol to have 'option modules'
Previously, it was possible to have more than one symbol with the
'option modules' attached to them, although only the last one would
in fact control tristates.

Since this does not make much sense, only allow at most one symbol to
control tristates.

Note: it is still possible to have more than one symbol that control
tristates, but indirectly:

    config MOD1
        bool "mod1"
        select MODULES
    config MOD2
        bool "mod2"
        select MODULES
    config MODULES
        bool
        option modules

Drop reference to the user's locale when sorting alphabetically, since

193b40aeb5 kconfig: sort found symbols by relevance
When searching for symbols, return the symbols sorted by relevance.

Sorting is done as thus:
  - first, symbols that match exactly
  - then, alphabetical sort

Since the search can be a regexp, it is possible that more than one symbol
matches exactly. In this case, we can't decide which to sort first, so we
fallback to alphabeticall sort.

Explain this (new!) sorting heuristic in the documentation.

e43956e607 kconfig: implement KCONFIG_PROBABILITY for randconfig
Currently the odds to set each symbol is (rounded):
    booleans:   y: 50%          n: 50%
    tristates:  y: 33%  m: 33%  n: 33%

Introduce a KCONFIG_PROBABILITY environment variable to tweak the
probabilities (in percentage), as such:
    KCONFIG_PROBABILITY     y:n split           yⓂ️n split
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
[1] unset or empty          50  : 50            33  : 33  : 34
[2] N                        N  : 100-N         N/2 : N/2 : 100-N
    N:M                     N+M : 100-(N+M)      N  :  M  : 100-(N+M)
    N:M:L                    N  : 100-N          M  :  L  : 100-(M+L)

[1] The current behaviour is kept as default, for backward compatibility

0d8024c6eb kconfig: allow specifying the seed for randconfig
For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the
seed to use to seed the RNG.

Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to
the seed to use:
    $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
    $ sha1sum .config
    70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca  .config
    $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig
    $ sha1sum .config
    70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca  .config

It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.

5b83df2b46 kbuild: fix ld-option function
The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because
the command
  $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO"
does not create object file!

I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler
and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact
but the results are the same.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory

We can easily fix the problem by adding
the '-x c' compiler option.

EXAMPLE:
  $ rm /tmp/1.o
  $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o
  $ ls -la /tmp/1.o
  -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr  2 20:40 /tmp/1.o

Also fix wrong ld-option example.
