Frank Schreiner reported, that since kernel 4.18 he faces sysfs-warnings
when loading modules on a 32-bit kernel. Here is one such example:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/nfs/sections/.text'
CPU: 0 PID: 98 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 4.18.0-2-parisc #1 Debian 4.18.10-2

[<101831dc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x14
This warning gets triggered by the fact, that due to commit 24b6c22504
("parisc: Build kernel without -ffunction-sections") we now get multiple .text
sections in the kernel modules for which sysfs_create_group() can't create
multiple virtual files.
This patch works around the problem by re-enabling the -ffunction-sections
compiler option for modules, while keeping it disabled for the non-module
kernel code.

As suggested by Nick Piggin it seems we can drop the -ffunction-sections
compile flag, now that the kernel uses thin archives. Testing with 32-
and 64-bit kernel showed no difference in kernel size.

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

The kernel depends on macros like __BYTE_ORDER__,
__BIG_ENDIAN__ or __LITTLE_ENDIAN__.
OTOH, sparse doesn't know about the endianness of the kernel and
by default uses the same as the machine on which sparse was built.
Ensure that sparse can predefine the macros corresponding to
how the kernel was configured by adding -m{big,little}-endian
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the equivalent done in arch specific Makefiles.

Debian uses "make all" to build the Linux kernel, thus to be able to use
the self-decompressing kernel as default debian kernel we need to make
bzImage the default build target.

parisc is big-endian only but sparse assumes the same endianness as the
building machine.
This is problematic for code which expect __BYTE_ORDER__ being correctly
predefined by the compiler which sparse can then pre-process differently
from what gcc would.
Fix this by letting sparse know about the architecture endianness.

By adding the feature to build the kernel as self-extracting
executeable, the possibility to simply compress the kernel with gzip was
lost.
This patch now reintroduces this possibilty again and leaves it up to
the user to decide how the kernel should be built.
The palo bootloader is able to natively load both formats.

Fix the FTRACE function tracer for 32- and 64-bit kernel.

works
- The cc-ifversion macro got support for an else-branch

kbuild: allow cc-ifversion to have the argument for false condition

kbuild: use mixed-targets when two or more config targets are given
kbuild: remove redundant line from bounds.h/asm-offsets.h
kbuild: merge bounds.h and asm-offsets.h rules
kbuild: Drop support for clean-rule
The macros cc-version, cc-fullversion and ld-version take no argument.

In spite of what the GCC manual says, the -mfast-indirect-calls has
never been supported in the 64-bit parisc compiler. Indirect calls have
always been done using function descriptors irrespective of the
-mfast-indirect-calls option.
Recently, it was noticed that a function descriptor was always requested
when the -mfast-indirect-calls option was specified. This caused
problems when the option was used in application code and doesn't make
any sense because the whole point of the option is to avoid using a
function descriptor for indirect calls.
Fixing this broke 64-bit kernel builds.
I will fix GCC but for now we need the attached change. This results in
the same kernel code as before.

Install targets (install, zinstall, uinstall) on parisc have a
dependency to vmlinux. This may cause parts of the kernel to be rebuilt
during installation. We must avoid this since this may run as root.
Install targets "ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT MODIFY THE SOURCE TREE." as Linus
emphasized this in:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/10/600
So on parisc and maybe other archs we need the same as for x86:
1648e4f8 x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux
This parisc patch was inspired by:
19514fc6 arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux

People/distros vary how they prefix the toolchain name for 64bit builds.
Rather than enforce one convention over another, add a for loop which
does a search for all the general prefixes.
For 64bit builds, we now search for (in order):
hppa64-unknown-linux-gnu
hppa64-linux-gnu
hppa64-linux
For 32bit builds, we look for:
hppa-unknown-linux-gnu
hppa-linux-gnu
hppa-linux
hppa2.0-unknown-linux-gnu
hppa2.0-linux-gnu
hppa2.0-linux
hppa1.1-unknown-linux-gnu
hppa1.1-linux-gnu
hppa1.1-linux

CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit
ec758f9832 to overcome linker issues when linking
huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in.
But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation
types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded.
Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already
use stub sections which resolve long distance calls.
So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules.

When building a 64bit kernel which includes all necessary drivers and
filesystems the vmlinux kernel often gets so huge, that the linker won't
be able to resolve the branch stubs. This patch overcomes this limit by
providing an option to compile the kernel with the -mlong-calls compiler
option.
