Rebuilding a previously built tree while using make's -j options from time to
time results in the version.h check running at the same time as the updating
of .kernelrelease, resulting in UTS_RELEASE remaining an empty string (and as
a side effect causing the entire kernel to be rebuilt).

Workaround a cscope bug where a trailing ':' in VPATH makes it segfault
and let it build the cross-reference succesfully.

Move $(CC) support functions to Kbuild.include so they are available
in the kbuild files.
In addition the following was done:
o as-option documented in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
o Moved documentation to new section to match
new scope of functions
o added cc-ifversion used to conditionally select a text string
dependent on actual $(CC) version
o documented cc-ifversion
o change so Kbuild.include is read before the kbuild file

uname -m on MIPS can give a number of results, such as mips64. We
need to add another substitution to the sed call for SUBARCH in the

Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
and fun.o.
You can then do:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / <= will build all .o files
and link foo.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko <= will build the module
and do the modpost step
to create foo.ko
The above will also work if the external module is placed in a
subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.

Commit 296e0855b0:
"kbuild: fix make -jN with multiple targets with O=..."
causes a ~95% increase in build time for the kernel. Before: 4m21s
after: 8m1.403s. Can we revert this until another approach is found?

.kernelrelease was saved in same directory as kernel source also
with make O=...
Make sure we kick in the normal logic to shift to the output directory
when we build .kernelrelease after executing *config.

Currently the CPU subtype options are cluttering up arch/sh/Kconfig somewhat.
Given that, this moves all of that in to its own arch/sh/mm/Kconfig. Things
like cache configuration are also moved to this new location.
This also adds support for strict CPU tuning on newer cores, which requires
the addition of as-option.

The command 'make all modules_install install' would fail
in a virgin tree - pointing at a non-existing directory under
/lib/modules/xxx
KERNELRELEASE is part of MODLIB and we need to create .kernelrelease
before we can properly evaluate KERNELRELEASE,
Changing MODLIB to the recursively expanded flavor let it pick up
the correct KERNELRELEASE value.

To enable 'make kernelrelease' earlier now create .kernelrelease when
one of the *config targets are used.
Also introduce KERNELVERSION - only user is kconfig.
KERNELVERSION was needed to display kernel version in menuconfig -
KERNELRELEASE is not valid until configuration has completed.
kconfig files modified to use KERNELVERSION.

This makes ARCH=powerpc the default on 32-bit powerpc machines,
where uname -m returns ppc, as well as on 64-bit powerpc machines.
Most people who would be likely to build their own kernels on
32-bit powerpc machines would be using powermacs or CHRP machines,
both of which are supported with ARCH=powerpc now. Embedded ppc
developers whose ports haven't been moved over to arch/powerpc
yet will have to explicitly set ARCH=ppc now.

Eric Sandeen <sandeen@sgi.com> pointed out that it is usefull to have
access to VERSION, PATCHLEVEL, SUBLEVEL in external modules, and gooling
a litte confirmed this.
So re-export them.
Usage within the kernel is still discouraged but possible.

To avoid running setlocalversion as root no longer (re-)define
KERNELRELEASE for each run. With this patch KERNELRELEASE is
only re-read when we do an actual kernel build.
Rationale behind this is "do as little as possible" when executing
make install - as root!
A new file named .kernelrelease is strored in the root of the kernel
tree containing the actual version string.
So when we use do a kernel build the .kernelrelease file will be updated.
But in all other situations it is left as-is.
To make it more visible the kernel now prints out the version being build.
Sample:
Building kernel 2.6.15-g63b794bf-dirty
...
...
The patch also un-exports VERSION PATCHLEVEL SUBLEVEL EXTRAVERSION LOCALVERSION
since all users of these are anyway broken - and none is left in the
tree.
