Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.
A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.
I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.
I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for
cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement.
Since commit d92cc4d516 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for
all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j)
for "make clean".
I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep"
target no longer exists.

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.
Remove the old oprofile's architecture specific support.

Until recently, if KBUILD_DEFCONFIG was not set by the arch Makefile,
the default path arch/*/defconfig was used.
The last users of the default are gone by the following commits:
- Commit f3e20ad67b ("s390: move arch/s390/defconfig to
arch/s390/configs/defconfig")
- Commit 986a13769c ("alpha: move arch/alpha/defconfig to
arch/alpha/configs/defconfig")
Let's set arch/*/configs/defconfig as a new default. This saves
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG for some architectures.

As of Linux 5.1, alpha and s390 are the last architectures that
have defconfig in arch/*/ instead of arch/*/configs/.
$ find arch -name defconfig | sort
arch/alpha/defconfig
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
arch/csky/configs/defconfig
arch/nds32/configs/defconfig
arch/riscv/configs/defconfig
arch/s390/defconfig
The arch/$(ARCH)/defconfig is the hard-coded default in Kconfig,
and I want to deprecate it after evacuating the remaining defconfig
into the standard location, arch/*/configs/.
Define KBUILD_DEFCONFIG like other architectures, and move defconfig
into the configs/ subdirectory.

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

Due to all of the goodness being packed into today's kernels, the
resulting image isn't as slim as it once was.
In light of this, don't pass -msmall-data to gcc, which otherwise results
in link failures due to impossible relocations when compiling anything but
the most trivial configurations.

With built-in scsi disk driver, the final link fails with a following
error:
`.exit.text' referenced in section `.rodata' of drivers/built-in.o:
defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
This happens with -Os (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y) with all gcc-4
versions, and also with -O2 and gcc-4.3.
The problem is in sd.c:sd_major() being inlined into __exit function
exit_sd(), and the compiler generating a jump table in .rodata section
for the 'switch' statement in sd_major(). So we have references to
discarded section.
Fixed with a big hammer in the form of -fno-jump-tables.
Note that jump tables vs. discarded sections is a generic problem,
other architectures are just lucky not to suffer from it. But with
a slightly more complex switch/case statement it can be reproduced
on x86 as well. So maybe at some point we should consider
-fno-jump-tables as a generic compile option...

This fixes some of the alpha-specific build problems, except a) modpost
warning about COMMON symbol "saved_config" and b) nasty final link
failure with gcc-4.x, -Os and scsi-disk driver configured built-in
(due to jump table in .rodata referencing discarded .exit.text).
- build failure with gcc-4.2.x: fix up casts in cia_io* routines to avoid
warnings ('discards qualifiers from pointer target type'), which are
failures, thanks to -Werror;
- modpost warnings: add missing __init qualifier for titan and marvel;
for non-generic build, move machine vectors from .data to .data.init.refok
section;
- unbreak CPU-specific optimization: rearrange cpuflags-y assignments
so that extended -mcpu value (ev56, pca56, ev67) overrides basic
one (ev5, ev6) and not vice versa.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to
pass in additional flags to gcc.
This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
