The thin archives build currently puts all lib.a and built-in.o
files together and links them with --whole-archive.
This works because thin archives can recursively refer to thin
archives. However some architectures include libgcc.a, which may
not be a thin archive, or it may not be constructed with the "P"
option, in which case its contents do not get linked correctly.
So don't pull .a libs into the root built-in.o archive. These
libs should already have symbol tables and indexes built, so they
can be direct linker inputs. Move them out of the --whole-archive
option, which restore the conditional linking behaviour of lib.a
to thin archives builds.

occurred at GCC 3.0, and Documentation/process/changes.rst says the

Originally, generated-y and genhdr-y had different meaning, like
follows:
- generated-y: generated headers (other than asm-generic wrappers)
- header-y : headers to be exported
- genhdr-y : generated headers to be exported (generated-y + header-y)
Since commit fcc8487d47 ("uapi: export all headers under uapi
directories"), headers under UAPI directories are all exported.
So, there is no more difference between generated-y and genhdr-y.
We see two users of genhdr-y, arch/{arm,x86}/include/uapi/asm/Kbuild.
They generate some headers in arch/{arm,x86}/include/generated/uapi/asm
directories, which are obviously exported.
Replace them with generated-y, and abolish genhdr-y.

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.

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):

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.

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.

"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.

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

All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create
a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that
most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather
than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This
difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches.
MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the
new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any
conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle.
Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the
cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some
other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function
cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in
the toplevel Makefile.

There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.
With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild
To use a generic file just add:
generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h>
For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.
When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.
The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.
The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.
Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive
the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/

The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
process of writing their code, want to do the occasional
make W=1 [target.o]
and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
process.

This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into
vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking
.dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt
driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location
before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image.
Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to
compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to
wrap the blobs for linking.
STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to
create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The
STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the
STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition.
The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob
with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob
to get the structure alignment GCC expects.
A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to
be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using
obj-y += foo.dtb.o

* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild-2.6:
initramfs: Fix build break on symbol-prefixed archs
initramfs: fix initramfs size calculation
initramfs: generalize initramfs_data.xxx.S variants
scripts/kallsyms: Enable error messages while hush up unnecessary warnings
scripts/setlocalversion: update comment
kbuild: Use a single clean rule for kernel and external modules
kbuild: Do not run make clean in $(srctree)
scripts/mod/modpost.c: fix commentary accordingly to last changes
kbuild: Really don't clean bounds.h and asm-offsets.h
A few modifications done for consistency, such as adding the shell
prompt for command line examples and trailing slash for directories.
Also corrects the module include header and fixes a few grammar
issues that I introduced.

A follow-up to my edit of the first 4 sections.
Shift sections down by one due to the deletion of section 3; grammar
corrections along with some rewording; margin width cleanup; and
change EXTRA_CFLAGS -> ccflags-y.

Omit needless words and sentences; reorganize and tighten sentence structure;
swap sections 2.2 and 2.3 for a more logical flow; remove section 3, therefore
shifting 4->3; add to explanations; and add section on building multiple modules.

If specified, the directive must be placed at the top of the Kconfig file.
We need to change the grammar to make the mainmenu directive set the
`rootmenu' prompt. This reflect how menu_add_prompt() works internally, ie.
set the prompt of the `current_entry', pointing originally to `rootmenu'.
