The general form for commit id and description is
'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")'
but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit
description emds on the next line like:
Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits>
("commit foo description/subject line") is improved.
Allow this form.

Checkpatch currently warns if a git commit ID (in the changelog,
usually) is less than 12 characters or more than 16. The "more than 16"
is excessive. Change the check so we accept IDs from 12 to 40 chars in
length.

Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.
This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.
Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.
On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :
| time |
+-------------+-----------------+
| manual .ko | make | size | percent
| compression | modules_install | | gain
+-------------+-----------------+------+--------
- | | 18.61s | 378M |
GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41%
XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83%
The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.
This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

Avoid the variable length array (vla), just use PATH_MAX instead.
This not only makes this code clang friedly, it also leads to a
code size reduction:

Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible;
make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the
r/o section instead of being runtime writable.
Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below:

Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit
7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug
info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular
linux-image package instead of the debug files package. Fix up the
paths so that the debug files end up in the -dbg package.
This is based on a similar patch by Darrick.

Currently, Kconfig descriptions that use multi-byte UTF-8 characters
(such as MTD_NAND_CAFE) will have their menu entries dropped from the
'make nconfig' ncurses menu, and all subsequent entries in the same
window will be omitted. This seems to be due to the ncurses 'menu'
library, which does not traditionally handle UTF-8 >8-bit characters
properly.
The ncursesw library ('w' is for "wide") is written to handle these
UTF-8 characters, and is practically a drop-in replacement at the source
level. Use it by default, if available.

The emacs --regex for DEFINE_HASHTABLE produced a warning because of
an unmatched '\('. Further, the whole entry did not work, because the
regex needs to match from the beginning of a line, including keywords
like 'static'. Finally, '\w' should not be used, because it
stops at underscores which are often part of variable names in C,
resulting in wrong entries in the tags file.

The comment in scripts/Makefile.build says as follows:
We would rather have a list of rules like
foo.o: $(foo-objs)
but that's not so easy, so we rather make all composite objects depend
on the set of all their parts
This commit makes it possible!
For example, assume a Makefile like this
obj-m = foo.o bar.o
foo-objs := foo1.o foo2.o
bar-objs := bar1.o bar2.o
Without this patch, foo.o depends on all of
foo1.o foo2.o bar1.o bar2.o.
It looks funny that foo.o is regenerated when bar1.c is updated.
Now we can handle the dependency of foo.o and bar.o separately.
