This is probably stale code. In old days (~ Linux 2.5.59), Kbuild made
genksyms generate include/linux/modules/*.ver files.
The currenct Kbuild does not generate *.ver files at all.

| kbuild: Fix compiling/installing as different users
|
| "make bzImage && sudo make install" had the problem that during
| the "sudo make install" the build system would notice that the information
| in include/linux/compile.h is not accurate (it says "compiled by <user>",
| but we are root), thus causing compile.h to be updated and leading to
| some recompiles.
|
| We now only update "compile.h" if the current user is the owner of
| include/linux/autoconf.h, i.e. the user who did the "make *config". So the
| above sequence will correctly state "compiled by <user>".

The 'make bzImage && sudo make install' problem no longer happens
because commit 1648e4f805 ("x86, kbuild: make "make install" not
depend on vmlinux") fixed the root cause.
Commit 19514fc665 ("arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on
vmlinux") fixed the similar issue on ARM, with detailed explanation.
So, the rule is that the installation targets should never trigger
the builds of any build artifact. By following it, this check is
unneeded.

This if_change_rule is not working properly; it cannot detect any
command line change.
The reason is because cmd-check in scripts/Kbuild.include compares
$(cmd_$@) and $(cmd_$1), but cmd_dtc_dt_yaml does not exist here.
For if_change_rule to work properly, the stem part of cmd_* and rule_*
must match. Because this cmd_and_fixdep invokes cmd_dtc, this rule must
be named rule_dtc.

Recently, I found that get_maintainer was causing me to send emails to
the old addresses for maintainers. Since I usually just trust the
output of get_maintainer to know the right email address, I didn't even
look carefully and fired off two patch series that went to the wrong
place. Oops.
The problem was introduced recently when trying to add signatures from
Fixes. The problem was that these email addresses were added too early
in the process of compiling our list of places to send. Things added to
the list earlier are considered more canonical and when we later added
maintainer entries we ended up deduplicating to the old address.
Here are two examples using mainline commits (to make it easier to
replicate) for the two maintainers that I messed up recently:
$ git format-patch d8549bcd0529~..d8549bcd0529
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-clk-Add-clk_hw*.patch | grep Boyd
Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>...
$ git format-patch 6d1238aa3395~..6d1238aa3395
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl 0001-arm64-dts-qcom-qcs404*.patch | grep Andy
Andy Gross <andy.gross@linaro.org>
Let's move the adding of addresses from Fixes: to the end since the
email addresses from these are much more likely to be older.
After this patch the above examples get the right addresses for the two
examples.

Since commit 56d5893615 ("kbuild: do not create orphan built-in.a or
obj-y objects"), scripts/link-vmlinux.sh does nothing when descending
into init/.
Once the version number becomes out of sync between .version and
include/generated/compile.h, it is not self-healing.
[How to reproduce]
$ echo 100 > .version
$ make
You will see the number in the .version is always bigger than that in
compile.h by one. After this, every time you run 'make', the vmlinux is
re-linked even when none of source files is updated.

When using a non-release version of Sphinx, from a local build (with
improvements for kernel doc handling, why not),
sphinx-build --version
reports versions of the form
sphinx-build 3.0.0+/4703d9119972
i.e. base version, a plus symbol, slash, and the start of the git hash
of whatever repository the command is run in (no, not the hash that
was used to build Sphinx!).
This patch fixes the installation check in sphinx-pre-install to
recognise such version output.

The symbol table is extended every 10000 addition by using realloc(),
where data copy might occur to the new buffer.
To decrease the amount of possible data copy, let's change the table
to store the pointer.

(struct sym_entry), and allocated together with the struct body.

In old days, the "host-progs" syntax was used for specifying host
programs. It was renamed to the current "hostprogs-y" in 2004.
It is typically useful in scripts/Makefile because it allows Kbuild to
selectively compile host programs based on the kernel configuration.
This commit renames like follows:
always -> always-y
hostprogs-y -> hostprogs
So, scripts/Makefile will look like this:
always-$(CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C) += ...
always-$(CONFIG_KALLSYMS) += ...
...
hostprogs := $(always-y) $(always-m)
I think this makes more sense because a host program is always a host
program, irrespective of the kernel configuration. We want to specify
which ones to compile by CONFIG options, so always-y will be handier.
The "always", "hostprogs-y", "hostprogs-m" will be kept for backward
compatibility for a while.

Running randconfig on arm64 using KCONFIG_SEED=0x40C5E904 (e.g. on v5.5)
produces the .config with CONFIG_EFI=y and CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN=y,
which does not meet the !CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN dependency.
This is because the user choice for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN vs
CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN is set by randomize_choice_values() after the
value of CONFIG_EFI is calculated.
When this happens, the has_changed flag should be set.
Currently, it takes the result from the last iteration. It should
accumulate all the results of the loop.
