GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

Now "modules" is the only member of the "option" property.
Remove "option", and move "modules" to the top level property.

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.
This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.
It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:
- run the checker (e.g. sparse) after the compiler
- remove unneeded cc-option tests for old compiler flags
- fix tar-pkg to install dtbs
- introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y syntax
- allow to trace functions in sub-directories of lib/
- introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y syntax
- various Makefile cleanups
* tag 'kbuild-v5.9' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
kbuild: stop filtering out $(GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS) from cc-option base
kbuild: include scripts/Makefile.* only when relevant CONFIG is enabled
kbuild: introduce hostprogs-always-y and userprogs-always-y
kbuild: sort hostprogs before passing it to ifneq
kbuild: move host .so build rules to scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile
kbuild: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones
kbuild: trace functions in subdirectories of lib/
kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y
kbuild: do not export LDFLAGS_vmlinux
kbuild: always create directories of targets
powerpc/boot: add DTB to 'targets'
kbuild: buildtar: add dtbs support
kbuild: remove cc-option test of -ffreestanding
kbuild: remove cc-option test of -fno-stack-protector
Revert "kbuild: Create directory for target DTB"
kbuild: run the checker after the compiler
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.
No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.
GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)
Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.
Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.
Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

The 'imply' statement may create unmet direct dependency when the
implied symbol depends on m.
[Test Code]
config FOO
tristate "foo"
imply BAZ
config BAZ
tristate "baz"
depends on BAR
config BAR
def_tristate m
config MODULES
def_bool y
option modules
If you set FOO=y, BAZ is also promoted to y, which results in the
following .config file:
CONFIG_FOO=y
CONFIG_BAZ=y
CONFIG_BAR=m
CONFIG_MODULES=y
This does not meet the dependency 'BAZ depends on BAR'.
Unlike 'select', what is worse, Kconfig never shows the
'WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for ...' for this case.
Because 'imply' is considered to be weaker than 'depends on', Kconfig
should take the direct dependency into account.
For clarification, describe this case in kconfig-language.rst too.

The 'imply' keyword restricts a symbol to y or n, excluding m
when it is implied by y. This is the original behavior since
commit 237e3ad0f1 ("Kconfig: Introduce the "imply" keyword").
However, the author of this feature, Nicolas Pitre, stated that
the 'imply' keyword should not impose any restrictions.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/19/714)
I agree, and want to get rid of this tricky behavior.

Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), scripts/checkpatch.pl warns the use of ---help---.
Kconfig still supports ---help---, but new code should avoid using it.

The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.
Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
