Add a variable to contain the regex needed to find weak functions
in the 'nm' output. This will allow other archs to easily override it.
Also rename the regex variable $nm_regex to $local_regex to be more
descriptive.

Move the mcount section check to the beginning of the objdump read loop.
This makes the code easier to follow since the search for the mcount
section is performed first before the mcount callers are processed.

The current logic to check objcopy's version is incorrect. This patch
fixes the algorithm and disables the use of local functions as a reference
if the objcopy version does not support static to global conversions.
Also remove some usused variables.

The ftrace.c file may reference the mcount function and this may interfere
with the recordmcount.pl processing. To avoid this, the code does not
process the kernel/trace/ftrace.o. But currently the check is against
a relative path. This patch modifies the check to succeed if the path
is an absolute path.

The documentation currently says we will use the first function in a section
as a reference. The actual algorithm is: choose the first global function we
meet as a reference. If there is none, choose the first local one.
Change the documentation to be consistent with the code.
Also add several other clarifications.

Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning,
static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key;
struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map =
STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this,
WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its
function/variable
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a
mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.

In the following code,
union thread_union init_thread_union
__attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) =
{ INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) };
There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the
following,
union thread_union init_thread_union
__attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = {
INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task)
};
However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't
correctly evaluate the "__attribute__".
It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style
attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need
to check the __attribute__.

The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking
macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator.
For example this line,
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \
is correct but it produces the following error,
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB)
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\
^
The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the
macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors.
Extend identifier handling to include ## concatenation within the
definition of an identifier.

zconf.y includes zconf.hash.c from the initial code section.
zconf.hash.c references the token constants from zconf.y. However,
current bison defines the token constants after the initial code
section, making zconf.hash.c fail to compile. Move the include of
zconf.hash.c later in zconf.y, so bison puts it after the token
constants.

Based on the commit:
a586df06 "x86: Support __attribute__((__cold__)) in gcc 4.3"
some of the functions goes to the ".text.unlikely" section.
Looks like there's not many of them (I found printk, panic,
__ssb_dma_not_implemented, fat_fs_error), but still worth to
include I think.

The Makefile.lib will call "echo -ne" to append uncompressed kernel size to
bzip2/lzma kernel image.
The "echo" here depends on the shell that /bin/sh pointing to.
On Ubuntu system, the /bin/sh is pointing to dash, which does not support
"echo -e" at all. Use /bin/echo instead of shell echo should always be safe.

The binrpm-pkg target (binary RPM only) fails when called with
KBUILD_OUTPUT set. This patch makes it work.
For the rpm-pkg target (source + binary RPM), building with
KBUILD_OUTPUT set is not possible and also not needed as the
actual build is done in a temporary directory anyway, so check
that KBUILD_OUTPUT is not set in that case to avoid later errors.
