gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with
'-frecord-gcc-switches'. In most cases, those symbols are reported with
nm as
000000000000000e n $d
and with objdump as
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d
Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored.
However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the
situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are
built with
'--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'.
In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported
by nm as:
000000000000000e n __efistub_$d
and by objdump as:
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d
Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address
calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which
in turn causes kallsyms to abort with
kallsyms failure:
relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode
The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI
enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.
Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug
symbols.

If faddr2line is given a function name which is the last one listed by
"nm -n", it will fail because it never finds the next symbol.
So teach the awk script to catch that possibility, and use 'size' to
provide the end point of the last function.

The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the
.version file.
However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file.
So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION
always indicates #1. This does not match with "rpm -q".
The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either.
Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is
created. Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion. This script returns an
incremented version. So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is
greater than the version in the kernel by one.
For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can
give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command.
For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file
because it contains the version number that was used for building the
kernel image.
We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need
not touch the .version file.

Commit df85b2d767 ("firmware: Restore support for built-in firmware")
restored the build infrastructure for CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, but this
is out of the scope of "make firmware_install". So, the right thing to

Pull firmware removal from Greg KH:
"Many many years ago (at the kernel summit in Boston), we all came to
the agreement that the firmware/ tree should be dropped from the
kernel, and everyone use the linux-firmware package instead. For some
minor reason, David Woodhouse didn't send the pull request at that
point in time, and everyone forgot about this.
The topic came up in the hallway track at the Plumbers conference this
week, so here's a single patch that drops the whole firmware tree. The
last firmware update was back in 2013, and all distros have been using
linux-firmware instead since at least that year, if not before. The
only commits to that directory since 2013 was some kbuild fixups for
various build tool issues.
So lets finally drop this, we don't need to lug them around in the
kernel source tree anymore, especially as no one wants or uses them.
This has passed build testing with 0-day, I don't think it made it
into linux-next this week, but I figured it was good to get in before
4.14-rc1 was out"

The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back
in 2013. Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware
package for a long long time.
So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around
(and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)

The previous commit spotted that "Tarball successfully created ..."
is displayed even if the "tar" command returns error code because
it is followed by "| ${compress}".
Let the build fail instead of printing the successful message since
if the "tar" command fails, the output may not be what users expect.
Avoid the use of the pipe. While we are here, refactor the script
removing the use of sub-shell, ${compress}, ${file_ext}.

Unlike all other types, LONG_LINE, LONG_LINE_COMMENT and LONG_LINE_STRING
are passed to WARN() through a variable. This causes the parser in
list_types() to miss them and consequently they are not present in the
output of --list-types.
Additionally, types TYPO_SPELLING, FSF_MAILING_ADDRESS and AVOID_BUG are
passed with a variable level, causing the parser to miss them too.
So modify the regex to also catch these special cases.

I had stupidly missed one special use of 'is_reserved_word()' when I
converted the code to avoid gperf.
I had changed that function to return the token ID directly rather than
a pointer to the token descriptor structure, but that meant that the
test for "is this a reserved word" changed from checking the return
value against NULL, to checking that it wasn't negative.
And while I had converted the main token parser over, I missed the
special case of the typeof phrase handling. And since our dependency
chain for genksyms does not include the genksyms program itself
changing, my kernel rebuild didn't show the problem.
