Newer gcc has a -femit-struct-debug-baseonly option that dramatically
reduces the size of object files with debug info. What it does
is to only emit type information for structures when the structures
are defined in the same file or in a header file.
This means the type information for most headers are not included.
This is not good when the type information is actually
needed (e.g. with kgdb or systemtap)
But often kernel hackers only care about line numbers and don't
need all the type information anyways. In this case setting
the option can be a big win:
A build dir for a specific x86-64 configuration with gcc 4.5
shrunk from 2.3G to 1.2G. The compilation was also nearly a minute
faster.

Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes
sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the
toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only
once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to
a variable expansion in an ifneq statement). No user-visible change is
intended, unless one runs the setlocalversion script directly.

Better dwarf2 unwind information is a good thing, it allows better
debugging with kgdb and crash and helps systemtap.
Commit 003086497f ("Build with
-fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm") disabled some CFI information globally to work
around a module loader bug on powerpc.
But this disables the better unwind tables for all architectures, not just
powerpc. Move the workaround to powerpc and also add a suitable comment
that's it really a workaround.
This improves dwarf2 unwind tables on x86 at least.

The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to
the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of
whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not. This allows users to
uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string.
If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by
setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it
exists. When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended
to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since
the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify
the build.
The end result is this:
- when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel
version,
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is
appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit,
and
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the
repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION=
was not passed to "make".
Examples:
With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "make" results in
v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63. If there are uncommited changes to the
respository, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty. If
"make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in
v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.
Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+
unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which
case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4). If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild"
were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild.
Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more
accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and
scm-identifier, respectively.

This adds CROSS_COMPILE as a kconfig string so you can store it in
.config. Then you can use plain "make" in the configured kernel build
directory to do the right cross compilation without setting the
command-line or environment variable every time.
With this, you can set up different build directories for different kernel
configurations, whether native or cross-builds, and then use the simple:
make -C /build/dir M=module-source-dir
idiom to build modules for any given target kernel, indicating which one
by nothing but the build directory chosen.
I tried a version that defaults the string with env="CROSS_COMPILE" so
that in a "make oldconfig" with CROSS_COMPILE in the environment you can
just hit return to store the way you're building it. But the kconfig
prompt for strings doesn't give you any way to say you want an empty
string instead of the default, so I punted that.

Setting LC_CTYPE=C breaks localized messages in some setups. With only
LC_COLLATE=C and LC_NUMERIC=C, we get almost all we need, except for not
so defined character classes and tolower()/toupper(). The former is not
a big issue, because we can assume that e.g. [:alpha:] will always
include a-zA-Z and we only ever process ASCII input. The latter seems
only affect arch/sh/tools/gen-mach-types, which we can handle separately.
So after this patch the meaning of ranges like [a-z], the behavior of
sort and join, etc. should be the same everywhere and at the same time
gcc should be able to print localized waring and error messages.
LC_NUMERIC=C might not be necessary, but setting it doesn't hurt.

distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional

or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in

The namespace used in arch/$ARCH/include is different from
what is used in include/ except for the include/asm directory.
This patch gives the arch/$ARCH/include/asm directory priority
over include/asm.
When we add asm-offsets.h to arch/$ARCH/include/asm/ this
patch makes sure we pick up the arch specific version
and not the one we have in include/asm.
The situation with an asm-offsets.h file located in
both include/asm _and_ arch/$ARCH/include/asm will happen
when we move more files over to include/generated.
This happens because in some cases it is not practical
to rename all users so we simply add a file
in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that includes the generated version.
This is the solution we use for asm-offsets.h as an example.

If the user has an older version of objcopy, that can not handle

functions will not be part of the dynamic function tracer. The current
code in recordmcount.pl will print a warning in this case. Unfortunately,
there exists lots of files that may have this issue with older objcopys
and this will cause a warning for every file compiled with this
issue.
This patch solves this overwhelming output by creating a
.tmp_quiet_recordmcount file on the first instance the warning is
encountered. The warning will not print if this file exists.
The temp file is deleted at the beginning of the compile to ensure that
the warning will happen once again on new compiles (because the issue
is still present).

It caused following issues:
- On architectures where ARCH= setting is used to select between
32 and 64 bit this was no longer possible without "make mrproper"
- If ARCH was changed then kbuild refused to run "make mrproper"
because ARCH had changed
- When CROSS_COMPILE was changed people were asked to run "make mrproper"
but kbuild refused to run "make mrproper" because CROSS_COMPILE changed.
- Spaces in CROSS_COMPILE was not 'supported'
- If an non-existing ARCH= was used kbuild could get stuck
Lessons learned:
. Despite being simple and straghtforward people uses very different
approaches when building the kernel.
. CROSS_COMPILE is sometimes used for ccache despite cache being
only a CC frontend so one would have expected CC to be
used for this purpose.
. And obviously this was not tested widely enough.

I'm skipping -rc2 because the -rc1 Makefile mistakenly said -rc2, so in
order to avoid confusion, I'm jumping from -rc1 to -rc3. That way, when

whether people perhaps meant -rc1 or -rc2.
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
