Adding a reference to <linux/linkage.h> to x86's <asm/cache.h> causes
the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and
ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those.
One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any
solution based on that approach would be fragile.
Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something
different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are
clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for
the two (ENTRY being an excellent example).
So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor
definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__
for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in
linker scripts.
I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in
the future.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
[not build tested]

When typeahead find is enabled, using 'y', 'n' and 'm' to change the status
of the configuration items will also start up the search system, making you
jump around the configuration.
Disabling the enable_search property does not mean that search is not
possible, it only disables the typeahead; to execute a search in the
treeview, you can just call it up explicitly (i.e.: on most systems that
will be Ctrl-f).

The arch/*/boot/Makefile use cc-options to check for GCC command options
and cc-options use the hardened specs when checking for GCC command
options. When -fPIE is pass to cc1 it can't use -ffreestanding or
-fno-toplevel-reorder. Then it fail to build stuff with -ffreestanding
and -fno-toplevel-reorder.
Thanks to Fredric Johansson for finding the main problem behind a failed

The tag file generated by the tags.sh script has some issue.
First:
The identifier-list miss the
DEFINE_TRACE,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL_GPL
special handling, which can result in a wrong tag, not to jump to the
right variable definition or function implementation.
Second:
It makes no real sense to include function prototypes and external and
forward variable declarations, because jumping to a tag will sometimes
go to this and not to the real definition and implementation. The information
about the declaration is still there at the definition and implementation
place.
So this patch make it lot easier to navigate through the kernel source
tree using vi.

Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.
Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.
