Prior to this commit, the command "scripts/objdiff record path/to/*.o"
disassembled the given object into ".tmp_objdiff/path/to/*.o" file.
The problem here is that recorded disassemblies are lost if we run
"make clean" because it removes all the *.o files.
Disassembled code should be dumped into *.dis instead of *.o files.

Prior to this commit, scripts/objdiff expected to be run at the top
directory and only the relative path of objects.
This commit provides more flexibility in terms of object path:
[1] scripts/objdiff can be run in any directory
For example,
$ scripts/objdiff record init/main.o
and
$ cd init; ../scripts/objdiff record main.o
produce the same result.
[2] Support absolute path for objects
$ scripts/objdiff record /home/foo/bar/linux/init/main.o
work as well.

This commit is a minor refactoring.
Temporary files for objdiff are stored in .tmp_objdiff directory
which is located at the top directory.
To get the path to this directory,
SRCTREE=`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`
TMPD=$SRCTREE/.tmp_objdiff
seems easier to understand than
GIT_DIR=`git rev-parse --git-dir`
TMPD=${GIT_DIR%git}tmp_objdiff
Besides, it is not always necessary to create .tmp_objdiff dicrectory.
It should be created only for "record" command.

The Debian s390x architecture has 64-bit userland whereas s390 has
32-bit userland. A 64-bit kernel can be used with either. Now that
Debian supports multiarch and officially supports s390x, it makes more
sense to assign a 64-bit kernel package to s390x.

Since commit 22d651dcef ('selftests/powerpc:
Import Anton's memcpy / copy_tofrom_user tests'), some source files in the
tree appear as symlink.
Until commit 8c38a5328a ('scripts/tags.sh:
ignore code of user space tools'), those symlinks made cscope report some
warnings:
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS=all O=./obj-cscope/ cscope
GEN cscope
cscope: cannot find
file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_power7.S
cscope: cannot find
file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_64.S
cscope: cannot find
file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/memcpy_power7.S
cscope: cannot find
file .../tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/copyuser_64.S
In order to prevent the same kind of warnings to be triggered by future
addition of symlinks, the best option is to ignore all symlinks when
building the file list to be processed by cscope (and other tools
supported by scripts/tags.sh).
Ignoring symlinks won't hide source files from cscope (and others) as the
target of these symlinks already appear somewhere else in the tree, and,
as such, should be processed by cscope (or others).
Note that, cscope, when used with -R option to make it find the files to
process by itself, already skip symlinks: it's not expected that cscope
access source files through symlink.
On top of commit 8c38a5328a ('scripts/tags.sh:
ignore code of user space tools'), scripts/tags.sh output from
"make cscope tags TAGS" is the same with and without this patch: it doesn't
seems to introduce any regression (on Fedora 20).

Currently, while using ctags to read code, we would get stumbled on
PageCgroup* symbols: no definition found. And it is quite dull to
manually dig it out.
This patch adds regular expression replacement pattern for such symbols,
like what have done for the PageXXX flag. It will teach ctags to find
out the definition for us.

objdiff is useful when doing large code cleanups. For example, when
removing checkpatch warnings and errors from new drivers in the staging
tree.
objdiff can be used in conjunction with a git rebase to confirm that
each commit made no changes to the resulting object code. It has the
same return values as diff(1).
This was written specifically to support adding the skein and threefish
cryto drivers to the staging tree. I needed a programmatic way to
confirm that commits changing >90% of the lines didn't inadvertently
change the code.

"make allnoconfig" exists to ease testing of minimal configurations.
Documentation/SubmitChecklist includes a note to test with allnoconfig.
This helps catch missing dependencies on common-but-not-required
functionality, which might otherwise go unnoticed.
However, allnoconfig still leaves many symbols enabled, because they're
hidden behind CONFIG_EMBEDDED or CONFIG_EXPERT. For instance, allnoconfig
still has CONFIG_PRINTK and CONFIG_BLOCK enabled, so drivers don't
typically get build-tested with those disabled.
To address this, introduce a new Kconfig option "allnoconfig_y", used on
symbols which only exist to hide other symbols. Set it on CONFIG_EMBEDDED
(which then selects CONFIG_EXPERT). allnoconfig will then disable all the
symbols hidden behind those.
