Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections.
For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module
and then linked into the module.
However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all
modules, internal and external.
Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is
compiled once and then linked into all modules.
This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c
through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING.
The modules are still relinked in this case.
The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file
instead of an inline string literal.

Add a new debug package to the PKGBUILD for the pacman-pkg target. The
debug package includes the non-stripped vmlinux file with debug symbols
for kernel debugging and profiling. The file is installed at
/usr/src/debug/${pkgbase}, with a symbolic link at
/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/vmlinux. The debug package is built
by default.

Introduce the PACMAN_EXTRAPACKAGES variable in PKGBUILD to allow users
to specify which additional packages are built by the pacman-pkg target.
Previously, the api-headers package was always included, and the headers
package was included only if CONFIG_MODULES=y. With this change, both
headers and api-headers packages are included by default. Users can now
control this behavior by setting PACMAN_EXTRAPACKAGES to a
space-separated list of desired extra packages or leaving it empty to
exclude all.
For example, to build only the base package without extras:
make pacman-pkg PACMAN_EXTRAPACKAGES=""

This commit improves the section mismatch warning format when there is
no suitable symbol name to print.
The section mismatch warning prints the reference source in the form
of <symbol_name>+<offset> and the reference destination in the form
of <symbol_name>.
However, there are some corner cases where <symbol_name> becomes
"(unknown)", as reported in commit 23dfd914d2 ("modpost: fix null
pointer dereference").
In such cases, it is better to print the symbol address.

A long standing issue in the upstream kernel packaging is that the
linux-headers package is not cross-compiled.
For example, you can cross-build Debian packages for arm64 by running
the following command:
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg
However, the generated linux-headers-*_arm64.deb is useless because the
host programs in it were built for your build machine architecture
(likely x86), not arm64.
The Debian kernel maintains its own Makefiles to cross-compile host
tools without relying on Kbuild. [1]
Instead of adding such full custom Makefiles, this commit adds a small
piece of code to cross-compile host programs located under the scripts/
directory.
A straightforward solution is to pass HOSTCC=${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc, but it
would also cross-compile scripts/basic/fixdep, which needs to be native
to process the if_changed_dep macro. (This approach may work under some
circumstances; you can execute foreign architecture programs with the
help of binfmt_misc because Debian systems enable CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC,
but it would require installing QEMU and libc for that architecture.)
A trick is to use the external module build (KBUILD_EXTMOD=), which
does not rebuild scripts/basic/fixdep. ${CC} needs to be able to link
userspace programs (CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y).
There are known limitations:
- GCC plugins
It would possible to rebuild GCC plugins for the target architecture
by passing HOSTCXX=${CROSS_COMPILE}g++ with necessary packages
installed, but gcc on the installed system emits
"cc1: error: incompatible gcc/plugin versions".
- objtool and resolve_btfids
These are built by the tools build system. They are not covered by
the current solution. The resulting linux-headers package is broken
if CONFIG_OBJTOOL or CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled.
I only tested this with Debian, but it should work for other package
systems as well.

developers use the latest version of the tool, which is the only one
actually supported by upstream). I am discussing stability of the
