Previously when running "make oldconfig" we saw all the propmt lines
from kconfig and noone actully read this.
With this patch the user will only see output if there is new symbols.
This will be seen as "make oldconfig" runs which does not generate any output.
A typical run now looks like this:
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
$
If a new symbol is found then we restart the config process like this:
$ make oldconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* General setup
*
Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?] y
Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) []
...
The bahaviour is similar to what we know when running the implicit
oldconfig target "make silentoldconfig".
"make silentoldconfig" are run as part of the kernel build process
if the configuration has changed.

Drop the chatty mode when we generate the all*config, randconfig
configurations.
Ths speeds up the process considerably and noone looked
at the output anyway.
This patch uses the conf_set_all_new_symbols() function

Handle __init in functions with kernel-doc notation by stripping the
__init away from the output doc. This is already being done for
"__devinit". This patch fixes these kernel-doc error/aborts:

Factor out the headers_*_all support to a seperate
shell script and add support for arch specific
header files can be located in either
arch/$ARCH/include/asm
or
include/asm-$ARCH/
In "make help" always display the headers_* targets.

We see some header files that are selected dependent on
the actual architecture so force a reinstallation
of all header files when the arch changes.
This slows down "make headers_check_all" but then
we better reflect reality.

Move the core functionality of headers_install
and headers_check to two small perl scripts.
The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and
changed to operate on all files in a directory.
So if one file is changed then all files in the
directory is processed.
perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this
is pure text processing which perl is good at and
especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to
see changes / new checks implmented.
The speed is ~300% faster on this box.
And the output generated to the screen is now down to
two lines per directory (one for install, one for check)
so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build.
The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient
feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

Move it to the top-level file to decide if we install/check
the generic headers or the arch specific headers.
This revealed a long standing bug where "make headers_check_all"
relied on the files in asm/ for the current architecture.
So make headers_check_all is now broken by this commit.
In addition:
o add a simpler way to detect if an arch support
exporting header files.
o add 'set -e;' so we error out early if
make headers_check_all fails.
o add sparc64 and cris to arch we do not process
in make headers_*_all because:
sparc64 - use sparc to export headers
cris - is know seriously broken

ALTARCH is no longer used by any arch(*) so drop
support for this from Makefile.headerinst
Dropping ALTARCH support simplifies Makefile.headerinst
(*) sparc64 uses it but work is ongoing to drop it
and no furter usage is planned.

unifdef utility is fast enough to warrant that we always
run the scripts through unifdef.
This patch runs all headers listed with header-y and unifdef-y
through unifdef.
Next step is to drop unifdef-y in all Kbuild files and
that can now be done in smaller steps.

Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack
pointer. However, things like this:
void function(int size)
{
char stackbuster[size << 2];
...
are certainly worth pointing out, I think.
This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only
adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works:
0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]: Dynamic (%rax)
0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax)
0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax)
0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]: Dynamic (%rax)
...

Add checks for the question mark colon operator spacing, and also check
the other uses of colon. Colon means a number of things:
- it introduces the else part of the ?: operator,
- it terminates a goto label,
- it terminates the case value,
- it separates the identifier from the bit size on bit fields, and
- it is used to introduce option types in asm().
