Introduce CC_FLAGS_DIALECT to make it easier to update the various
places in the tree that rely on the GNU C standard and Microsoft
extensions flags atomically. All remaining uses of '-std=gnu11' and
'-fms-extensions' are in the tools directory (which has its own build
system) and other standalone Makefiles. This will allow the kernel to
use a narrower option to enable the Microsoft anonymous tagged structure
extension in a simpler manner. Place the CC_FLAGS_DIALECT block after
the configuration include (so that a future change can move the
selection of the flag to Kconfig) but before the
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile include (so that CC_FLAGS_DIALECT is available
for use in those Makefiles).

Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].
Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.
Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

This is a follow up to commit c4781dc3d1 ("Kbuild: enable
-fms-extensions") but in a separate change due to being substantially
different from the initial submission.
There are many places within the kernel that use their own CFLAGS
instead of the main KBUILD_CFLAGS, meaning code written with the main
kernel's use of '-fms-extensions' in mind that may be tangentially
included in these areas will result in "error: declaration does not
declare anything" messages from the compiler.
Add '-fms-extensions' to all these areas to ensure consistency, along
with -Wno-microsoft-anon-tag to silence clang's warning about use of the
extension that the kernel cares about using. parisc does not build with
clang so it does not need this warning flag. LoongArch does not need it
either because -W flags from KBUILD_FLAGS are pulled into cflags-vdso.

The decompressor is built with the default C dialect, which is now gnu23
on gcc-15, and this clashes with the kernel's bool type definition:

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.
auto-generated by the following:
for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do
sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i
done

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and

Remove redundant variables.

GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size
of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel)
exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's
trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}.
Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended
size data is only useful for the decompressors.
There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored.
In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data.
That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op.
To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames
the existing macros as follows:
cmd_bzip2 --> cmd_bzip2_with_size
cmd_lzma --> cmd_lzma_with_size
cmd_lzo --> cmd_lzo_with_size
cmd_lz4 --> cmd_lz4_with_size
cmd_xzkern --> cmd_xzkern_with_size
cmd_zstd22 --> cmd_zstd22_with_size
To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles
accordingly:
arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile
I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce
the compressed data in the proper format.
I did not touch the following:
arch/arc/boot/Makefile
arch/arm64/boot/Makefile
arch/csky/boot/Makefile
arch/mips/boot/Makefile
arch/riscv/boot/Makefile
arch/sh/boot/Makefile
kernel/Makefile
This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data.
I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile.

Kernel v5.14 has various changes to optimize unaligned memory accesses,
e.g. commit 0652035a57 ("asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpers").
Those changes triggered an unalignment-exception and thus crashed the
bootloader on parisc because the unaligned "output_len" variable now suddenly
was read word-wise while it was read byte-wise in the past.
Fix this issue by declaring the external output_len variable as char which then
forces the compiler to generate byte-accesses.

Apparently we don't have an archclean target in our
arch/parisc/Makefile, so files in there never get cleaned out by make
mrproper. This, in turn means that the sizes.h file in
arch/parisc/boot/compressed never gets removed and worse, when you
transition to an O=build/parisc[64] build model it overrides the
generated file. The upshot being my bzImage was building with a SZ_end
that was too small.
I fixed it by making mrproper clean everything.
