PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific
subdirs soon. "make help" currently does not look in subdirs to
find the defconfigs to show. This is partially a good thing,
since there are way too many defconfigs for one list.
This patch makes the main "make help" display something like
help-40x - Show 40x-specific targets
help-44x - Show 44x-specific targets
help-boards - Show all of the above
and wires up stuff so those new help-* commands actually work.

Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.
I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures. With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.
With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.
At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should

Building vmlinux.o were moved up in the dependency chain so we started
to build it before the kallsym stuff. This was done to let modpost
report section mismatch bugs even when the final link failed.
Originally I had expected the dependency of $(kallsyms.o) to
cover this but it turns out that we need to be even more explicit.
Fix this by adding a conditional dependency on firat target
used in the kallsyms serie of builds.

When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile. This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.
When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected. However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules). This causes confusion.
The solution is two-parted. This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile. The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.
Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.
Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again
can set 64BIT in all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
0f855aa64b
-> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable
2a113281f5
-> kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string
compares so the additional complexity introduced by the
above two patches were not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture
takes precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit
kernel no matter what the configuration says.
The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was
configured to 64-bit and the other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so
no suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel
but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select
between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the
main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE)
via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all.
When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called
in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main
Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory
set to the object tree). Before this patch, when multiple make command
goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation.
With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple
commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results.
I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config
targets. Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious.
Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would
be appropriate.

This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when linking
modules, if ld supports it. This is a new GNU ld option that synthesizes an
ELF note section inside the read-only data. The note in this section contains
unique identifying bits called the "build ID", which are generated so as to be
different for any two linked ELF files that aren't identical. The build ID
can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc. and used to look up
the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history
associated with it. For normal program linking, the compiler passes
--build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly
as we do.

make tags was giving the below warning.
ctags: Warning: arch/x86_64/kernel/head.S:124: null expansion of name
pattern "\1"
Fix the same by making sure we taken only ENTRY pattern found at the
begining of the line.

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link
vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across
the .o files.
Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.
The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux
but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.
For a defconfig build this is instant but for an allyesconfig this
add two minutes to a full build (that anyways takes ~2 hours).

Add -Werror-implicit-function-declaration
This makes builds fail sooner if something is implicitly defined instead
of having to wait half an hour for it to fail at the linking stage.

Woo-hoo. I'm sure somebody will report a "this doesn't compile, and
I have a new root exploit" five minutes after release, but it still
feels good ;)
