As on x86-64 and other architectures, the boot kernel on parisc (vmlinuz
and bzImage) contains a full compressed copy of the final kernel
executable (vmlinux.bin.gz), which one should be able to extract with
the extract-vmlinux script.
But on parisc extracting the kernel with extract-vmlinux fails.
Currently the script first checks if the given file is an ELF file
(which is true on parisc) and if so returns it. Thus on parisc we
unexpectedly get back the vmlinuz boot file instead of the uncompressed
vmlinux image.
This patch fixes this issue by reverting the logic. It now first tries
to find a compression signature in the given file and if that fails it
checks the file itself as fallback.

kbuild: allow to use GCC toolchain not in Clang search path
ftrace: Build with CPPFLAGS to get -Qunused-arguments
Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs
in GCC's inlining decisions.
Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files.
Currently only x86 will use it.
Background:
The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware
of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes,
or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data
due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ...
Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of
certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source
code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute
for "code size and complexity".
Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain
common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent
practice of putting useful information into alternative sections.
As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions
are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm()
blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in
reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine
instructions.
This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm()
blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance
overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make
frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the
way when running on baremetal hardware.
Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro
and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the
inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.)
This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount
related changes have this impact:
Makefile | 9 +++++++--
arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++
arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++
scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++-
scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++
5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read
and maintain ...
We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding
our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

report a Warning for the missing file. The behavior is not

When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting
with an error message and error status:
Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it.
This is probably in the kmod package.
Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross
compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working
port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod."
I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the
loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and
then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run
instead of it being run on the build system.

case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when
libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but
it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines
where make menuconfig would be possibly run."
For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed.

The self assignment was probably introduced by an automated code
refactoring in
commit 694c49a7c0 ("kconfig: drop localization support").
The issue was identified by a self-assign warning when running
make menuconfig with clang.

$(git diff-index) relies on the index being refreshed. This refreshing
of the index used to happen, but was removed in cdf2bc632e
("scripts/setlocalversion on write-protected source tree", 2013-06-14)
due to issues with a read-only filesystem.
If the index is not refreshed, one runs into problems. E.g. as
described in [0], git stores the uid in its index, so even if just the
uid has changed (or git is tricked into thinking so), then we will
think the tree is dirty. So as in [1], if you package linux-git with a
system that uses fakeroot(1), you get a "-dirty" version. Unless you
manually $(git update-index --refresh) themselves.
The simplest solution seems to be $(git status --porcelain), with an
additional flag saying "ignore untracked files". It seems clearer
about what it does, and avoids issues regarding cached indexes and
writable filesystems, but still has stable output for scripting.

For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.

GCC plugins with Clang would fail the build, much in the same way missing

duplicating it in the feature-test script).

Devicetree bindings should be their own patch as documented in

This is because bindings are logically independent from a driver

checkpatch uses the in-kernel script spdxcheck.py to validate the specific
license in a file or script.
This check can currently fail for a couple reasons:
o spdxcheck.py assumes the existence of git tree that may not
exist for a bare source tree from something like a tarball
o the spdxcheck.py must be run from the top level root directory
So add a git existence test and set the subprocess subdirectory.

Multiple line macro definitions where the arguments are separated by line
continuations can cause checkpatch to emit invalid syntax regex tests.
This can occur when a single argument is modified in a part of a patch.
For example: (to not add a diff in the commit message)
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --git db023296f0
Unterminated \g... pattern in regex; <very long regex omitted>
And, the test does not work correctly when these arguments are all new as
the initial patch line addition "+" is used in the argument name.
Fix this by stripping the line continuations and any "+" from the list of
arguments.

checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates
the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge
5.10.0" runtime string match.
Only perform that minimum version test once and store the result to reduce
string matching time.
This reduces runtime execution time for patches or files with high line

A struct with a bool member can have different sizes on various
architectures because neither bool size nor alignment is standardized.
So emit a message on the use of bool in structs only in .h files and not
.c files.
There is the real possibility that this test could have a false positive
when a bool is declared as an automatic, so limit the test to .h files
where the only false positive is for declarations in static inline

Some LANG values (e.g. pl_PL.UTF-8) cause the sort command to output
files before their parent directories, which makes them inaccessible for
the kernel. In other words, when the kernel populates the rootfs, it is
unable to create files whose parent directories have not been yet created.
This patch makes sorting use the default (LANG=C) locale, which results in
correctly laid out initramfs images (parent directories before files).

The top-level Makefile invokes "make syncconfig" when necessary.
Then, Kconfig displays the following message when .config is updated.
#
# configuration written to .config
#
It is distracting because "make syncconfig" happens during the build
stage, and does nothing important in most cases.
