This will be a little more efficient since unset CONFIG options are
stripped away from auto.conf, and we can hard-code the path to auto.conf

Commit 37c8a5fafa ("kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules")
moved the location of 'dtbs_install' target which caused dtbs to not be
installed when building debian package with 'bindeb-pkg' target. Update
the builddeb script to use the same logic that determines if there's a
'dtbs_install' target which is presence of the arch dts directory. Also,
use CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE instead of CONFIG_OF as that's a better
indication of whether we are building dtbs.
This commit will also have the side effect of installing dtbs on any
arch that has dts files. Previously, it was dependent on whether the
arch defined 'dtbs_install'.

Prior to commit 80463f1b7b ("kbuild: add --include-dir flag only

'$MAKE image_name' recurses to the generated $(objtree)/Makefile and

invoked with '-f $srctree/Makefile' (or KBUILD_SRC=) to be executed

Builddep is not very explicit about file permissions. Actually the file
permissions in the package are largely influenced by the umask of the
user cloning the git and building the package. If that umask does not
set go+r the resulting linux-headers package will prevent non-root users
from building out-of-tree modules. And that is probably just one
unexpected effect.
Being a packaging/install tool builddep should make sure the file
permissions are set correctly and not just derived from a value that is
never checked.
This patch sets ugo read permissions for all packaged files and derives
the executable bit for directories and executables from the file-owner.

This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from
grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and
building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too.
Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins.
The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory
there. The plugins compile with these options:
* -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too
* -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too
* -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too
* -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal
errors)
* -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h)
* -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version
variable, plugin-version.h)
The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It
supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script
chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).
This script also checks the availability of the included headers in
scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h.
The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins
and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions.
The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration
structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes.
Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper
targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules.
Based on work created by the PaX Team.

The Debian armhf architecture uses the ARM EABI hard-float variant,
whereas armel uses the soft-float variant. Although the kernel
doesn't use FP itself, CONFIG_VFP must be enabled to support
hard-float userland and will probably be disabled when supporting a
soft-float userland. So set the architecture to armhf by default when
CONFIG_AEABI and CONFIG_VFP are both enabled.

As debian/files keeps accumulating entries, the changes file will end up
growing indefinelty. With outdated entries in debian/files, builddeb
script will exit with failure. This regression impacts those who use
"make deb-pkg" target to build kernel into a .deb package and never use
"make mrproper" or other means to clean kernel tree from generated
directories.
To fix the regression, remove debian/files before starting build and in

If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL is set, then user expects that all modules are
automatically signed in the result package, as it's for rpm-pkg, binrpm-pkg,
tar, tar-*. For deb-pkg this is correct only if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
is NOT set. In that case deb-package contains signed modules.
But if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is set, builddeb creates separate package with
debug information. To do that, debug information from all modules
is copied into separate files by objcopy. And loadable kernel modules are
stripped afterwards. Stripping removes previously (during modules_install)
added signatures from loadable kernel modules. Therefore final deb-package
contains unsigned modules despite of set option CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL.
This patch resigns all stripped modules if CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL is set
to solve this problem.

lsb_release command is a good choice to determine the distribution
name for the changelog file in the generated Debian packages [1].
Its installation is no precondition.
In Debian it is still not essential or build-essential.
Ben gave some helpful informations and detailed explanations in [2].
There he also suggested to have an option to explicitly set the
distribution name (see $KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST variable).
Embedded the improvement as suggested by Thorsten (see [3]):
"This is suboptimal: if KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST is defined,
lsb_release is not necessary. The following snippet
also omits using its output if it fails but still
produces any:"
Dealing with this issue I learned about "The Colon in the Shell." and
possible pitfalls in this area (see [4,5]). Furthermore, refreshed my
knowledge about redirecting outputs with the echo command (see [5]).
Special thanks to Thorsten, I enjoyed the IRC session with you.
Cooked together the snippets of Ben and Thorsten (see [2,3]).
Tested against Linux v3.19-rc2.
Thanks goes to Alexander, Ben, maximilian and Thorsten for the very
vital help.

Happy new 2015!
I have combined two patches which I had already sent to linux-kbuild ML.
Today, I prefer "builddeb" as a label for such patches.

recent dpkg tools
- make TAGS fixes
- new coccinelle patch
- kbuild documentation improvements"
* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
deb-pkg: remove obsolete -isp option to dpkg-gencontrol
coccinelle: misc: semantic patch to delete overly complex return code processing
deb-pkg: Add support for powerpc little endian
builddeb: put the dbg files into the correct directory
scripts/tags.sh: fix DEFINE_HASHTABLE in emacs case
scripts/tags.sh: remove *PCGFLAGS regular expressions
scripts/tags.sh: Don't specify kind-spec for emacs' ctags/etags
Documentation: kbuild: Improve grammar
Documentation: kbuild: Remove obsolete dtc_cpp section

The -isp option has been deprecated, after it became the default
behaviour back in 2006.
Since dpkg 1.17.11, dpkg-gencontrol emits a warning on -isp usage.

The Debian powerpc little endian architecture is called ppc64el. This
is the default architecture used by Ubuntu for powerpc.
The below checks the kernel config to see if we are compiling little
endian and sets the Debian arch appropriately.

Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit
7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug
info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular
linux-image package instead of the debug files package. Fix up the
paths so that the debug files end up in the -dbg package.
This is based on a similar patch by Darrick.

The Makefiles call the respective interpreter explicitly, but this makes
it easier to use the scripts manually.
