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

Introduce a CPU_V6K configuration option for platforms to select if they

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.

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

[not build tested]

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
