syncconfig updates the .config only when sym_change_count > 0, i.e.
any change in config symbols has been detected.
Not only symbols but also comments are contained in the .config file.
If only comments are updated, they are not fed back to the .config,
then the stale comments are left-over. Of course, this is just a
matter of comments, but why not fix it.
I see some scenarios where this happens.
Scenario A:
1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.
2. Linus increments the version number in the top-level Makefile
(i.e. he commits a new release)
3. You pull it, and run 'make'
4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
KERNELVERSION is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.
5. The .config file contains a kernel version in the top line:
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/arm64 4.18.0-rc2 Kernel Configuration
... which points to a previous version.
Scenario B:
1. You have a source tree that has already been configured.
2. You upgrade the compiler, but it still has the same version number.
This may happen if you regularly build the latest compiler from
the source code.
3. You run 'make'
4. syncconfig is invoked because the environment variable,
CC_VERSION_TEXT is updated, but the .config is not updated since
no config symbol is changed.
5. The .config file contains the version string of the compiler:
#
# Compiler: aarch64-linux-gcc (GCC) 9.0.0 20180628 (experimental)
#
... which carries the information of the old compiler.
If KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is set, syncconfig is not allowed to update
the .config file. Otherwise, it is fine to update it regardless of
sym_change_count.

'make syncconfig' creates some files such as include/config/auto.conf,
include/generate/autoconf.h, etc. but the necessary directory creation
relies on scripts/kconfig/Makefile.
To make Kconfig self-contained, create directories as needed in
conf_write_autoconf().
This change allows scripts/kconfig/Makefile cleanups; syncconfig can
be merged into simple-targets.

Commit 17263baf95 ("kconfig: Create include/generated for
localmodconfig") added the 'mkdir' line because local{yes,mod}config
ran streamline_config.pl followed by silentoldconfig at that time.
Since commit 81d2bc2273 ("kconfig: invoke oldconfig instead of
silentoldconfig from local*config"), no sub-directory is required.

Split out helpers:
is_present() - check if the given path exists
is_dir() - check if the given path exists and it is a directory
make_parent_dir() - create the parent directories of the given path

file_write_dep() is called only from conf_write_autoconf().
Move it from util.c to confdata.c to make it static.
Also, rename it to conf_write_dep() since it should belong to

As you see in mconf.c and nconf.c, conf_message_callback() hooks are
likely to end up with the boilerplate of vsnprintf(). Process the
string format before calling conf_message_callback() so that it
receives a simple string.

In Fedora, the debug information is packaged separately (foo-debuginfo) and
can be installed separately. There's been a long standing issue where only
one version of a debuginfo info package can be installed at a time. There's
been an effort for Fedora for parallel debuginfo to rectify this problem.
Part of the requirement to allow parallel debuginfo to work is that build ids
are unique between builds. The existing upstream rpm implementation ensures
this by re-calculating the build-id using the version and release as a
seed. This doesn't work 100% for the kernel because of the vDSO which is
its own binary and doesn't get updated when embedded.
Fix this by adding some data in an ELF note for both the kernel and modules.
The data is controlled via a Kconfig option so distributions can set it
to an appropriate value to ensure uniqueness between builds.

Commit 8370edea81 ("bin2c: move bin2c in scripts/basic") moved bin2c
to the scripts/basic/ directory, incorrectly stating "Kexec wants to
use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build process.
See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches."
Commit bdab125c93 ("Revert "kexec/purgatory: Add clean-up for
purgatory directory"") and commit d6605b6bbe ("x86/build: Remove
unnecessary preparation for purgatory") removed the redundant
purgatory build magic entirely.
That means that the move of bin2c was unnecessary in the first place.
fixdep is the only host program that deserves to sit in the
scripts/basic/ directory.
