Russell King found that he had weird side effects when compiling the kernel
with hard linked ccache. The reason was that recordmcount modified the
kernel in place via mmap, and when a file gets modified twice by
recordmcount, it will complain about it. To fix this issue, Russell wrote a
patch that checked if the file was hard linked more than once and would
unlink it if it was.
Linus Torvalds was not happy with the fact that recordmcount does this in
place modification. Instead of doing the unlink only if the file has two or
more hard links, it does the unlink all the time. In otherwords, it always
does a copy if it changed something. That is, it does the write out if a
change was made.

On gcc Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04, linking vmlinux fails with:
arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_create':

arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_disable':

This is because -lrt appears in the generated link commandline
after arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o. Fix this by removing -lrt from
arch/um/Makefile and adding it to the UM-specific section of
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Changeset 4d73270192ec('scripts/kernel-doc: Replacing highlights
hash by an array') broke compatibility of the kernel-doc script with
older versions of perl by using "keys ARRAY" syntax with is available
only on Perl 5.12 or newer, according with:
http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/keys.html
Restore backward compatibility by replacing "foreach my $k (keys ARRAY)"
by a C-like variant: "for (my $k = 0; $k < !ARRAY; $k++)"

Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0.
There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't
mention booleans initialized to false.
Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms
with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros.
Miscellanea:
o Use a variable to hold the possible 0 test

Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some
false positive warning messages.
checkpatch has multiple types of false positives:
o Commit message lines > 75 chars
o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs
o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars.
o Fixes: style doesn't require ("<commit_description>")
parentheses and double quotes like other uses of
git commit ID and description.
Fix these.
Miscellanea:
o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump
above the test for a long line commit message
o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets
