In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

When Loongson3 LL/SC errata workarounds are enabled (ie.
CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON3_WORKAROUNDS=y) run a tool to scan through the
compiled kernel & ensure that the workaround is applied correctly. That
is, ensure that:
- Every LL or LLD instruction is preceded by a sync instruction.
- Any branches from within an LL/SC loop to outside of that loop
target a sync instruction.
Reasoning for these conditions can be found by reading the comment above
the definition of __SYNC_loongson3_war in arch/mips/include/asm/sync.h.
This tool will help ensure that we don't inadvertently introduce code
paths that miss the required workarounds.

For a long time arch/mips/Makefile used nm to discover the kernel entry
point by looking for the address of the kernel_entry symbol. This
doesn't work for systems which make use of bit 0 of the PC to reflect
the ISA mode - ie. microMIPS (and MIPS16, but we don't support building
kernels that target MIPS16 anyway).
So for a while with commit 5fc9484f5e ("MIPS: Set ISA bit in entry-y
for microMIPS kernels") we manually modified the last nibble of the
output from nm, which worked but wasn't particularly pretty.
Commit 27c524d174 ("MIPS: Use the entry point from the ELF file
header") then cleaned this up by using objdump to print the ELF entry
point which includes the ISA bit, rather than using nm to print the
address of the kernel_entry symbol which doesn't. That removed the ugly
replacement of the last nibble, but added its own ugliness by needing to
manually sign extend in the 32 bit case.
Unfortunately it has been pointed out that objdump's output is
localised, and therefore grepping for its "start address" output doesn't
work when the user's language settings are such that objdump doesn't
print in English.
We could simply revert commit 27c524d174 ("MIPS: Use the entry point
from the ELF file header") and return to the manual replacement of the
last nibble of entry-y, but it seems that was found sufficiently
unpalatable to avoid. We could attempt to force the language used by
objdump by setting an environment variable such as LC_ALL, but that
seems fragile. Instead we add a small tool named elf-entry which simply
prints out the entry point of the kernel in the format we require.

MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such
many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch
updates the addresses for those who:
- Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com
email address, or any patches dated within the past year.
- Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business
unit, as determined from an internal email address list.
- Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed
a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej).
- Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt &
myself.
New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all
verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to
.mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new
addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead.
Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then
mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

When configuring the kernel using one of the generic MIPS defconfig
targets, the generic-board-config.sh script is used to check
requirements listed in board config fragments against a reference config
in order to determine which board config fragments to merge into the
final config.
When specifying O= to configure in a directory other than the kernel
source directory, this generic-board-config.sh script is invoked in the
directory that we are configuring in (ie. the directory that O equals),
and the path to the reference config is relative to the current
directory. The script then changes the current directory to the source
tree, which unfortunately breaks later access to the reference file
since its path is relative to a directory that is no longer the current
working directory. This results in configuration failing with errors
such as:
$ make ARCH=mips O=tmp 32r2_defconfig
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/pburton/src/linux/tmp'
Using ../arch/mips/configs/generic_defconfig as base
Merging ../arch/mips/configs/generic/32r2.config
Merging ../arch/mips/configs/generic/eb.config
grep: ./.config.32r2_defconfig: No such file or directory
grep: ./.config.32r2_defconfig: No such file or directory
The base file '.config' does not exist. Exit.
make[1]: *** [arch/mips/Makefile:505: 32r2_defconfig] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pburton/src/linux-ingenic/tmp'
make: *** [Makefile:145: sub-make] Error 2
Fix this by avoiding changing the working directory in
generic-board-config.sh, instead using full paths to files under
$(srctree)/ where necessary.

Up until now when configuring a generic kernel all board config
fragments have been merged by default unless boards are explicitly
selected by the user specifying BOARDS=.
In many cases this is sub-optimal, since some boards don't make sense to
include in some kernels. For example the MIPS SEAD-3 development board
has only ever been used with 32 bit CPUs, so including support for the
SEAD-3 in a 64 bit kernel is wasteful.
This patch introduces support for specifying requirements in board
config fragments, using comments formatted like so:
# require CONFIG_BLA=y
For example the SEAD-3 board could specify that it should only be merged
for 32 bit kernels using a requirement line like the following:
# require CONFIG_32BIT=y
A new generic-board-config.sh script is introduced to handle selecting
the board config fragments to merge & calling merge_config.sh to merge
them. In order to allow requirements to check Kconfig symbols that are
implicitly selected, rather than explicitly specified by
generic_defconfig or one of the ISA config fragments, an intermediate
.config file is saved & used as a reference when checking requirements.
