The patch is big.  Really big.  You just won't believe how vastly hugely
mindbogglingly big it is.  I mean you may think it's a long way down the
road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to how big the patch from
2.6.23 is.

But it's all good.

make vmlinux would delete the content of $(MODVERDIR)
equals .tmp_versions. This caused a subsequent
make modules_install to fail.

Fix it so we clean the directory only for the
modules build - but we still unconditionally create it so
we can do:
make dir/file.ko
without a preceeding make modules.

When building a specific module before doing a total kernel
build it failed because $(MORVERDIR) were missing.
Creating the MODVERDIR explicit (independent of KBUILD_MODULES)
fixed this. As a side-effect the MODVERDIR will be created
also for a non-module build - but no harm done by that.

When building embedded systems in a cross-compile environment and
populating a target's file system image, we don't want to run the
depmod on the host as we may be building for a completely different
architecture. Since there's no such thing as a cross-depmod, we
just disable running depmod in the cross-compile case and we just
run depmod on the target at bootup.

We often hit the situation where the asm symlink
in include/ points to the wrong architecture.
In 9 out of 10 cases thats because we forgot to set
ARCH but sometimes we just reused the same tree
for another ARCH. For the merged x86 tree we need
to create a new symlink but this is not obvious.
So with the following patch we check if the symlink
points to the correct architecture and error
out if this is not the case.

Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the
main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE)
via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all.

When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called
in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main
Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory
set to the object tree).  Before this patch, when multiple make command
goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation.
With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple
commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results.

I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config
targets.  Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious.
Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would
be appropriate.

The assembler for a while now supports -gdwarf to generate source line info
just like the C compiler does.  Source-level assembly debugging sounds like an
oxymoron, but it is handy to be able to see the right source file and read its
comments rather than just the disassembly.  This patch enables -gdwarf for
assembly files when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y and the assembler supports the option.

Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@computergmbh.de> reported:
You can cause a recursion in kbuild/make with the following:

make O=$PWD kernel/time.o
make mrproper

Of course no one would use O=$PWD (that's just the testcase),
but this happened too often:

/ws/linux/linux-2.6.23$ make O=/ws/linux/linux-2.6.23 kernel/time.o
(Oops - should have been O=/ws/linux/obj-2.6.23!)

Fixed by an explicit test for this case - we error
out if output directory and source directory are the same.

This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when linking
modules, if ld supports it.  This is a new GNU ld option that synthesizes an
ELF note section inside the read-only data.  The note in this section contains
unique identifying bits called the "build ID", which are generated so as to be
different for any two linked ELF files that aren't identical.  The build ID
can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc.  and used to look up
the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history
associated with it.  For normal program linking, the compiler passes
--build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly
as we do.

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link
vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across
the .o files.
Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.

The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux
but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.
For a defconfig build this is instant but for an allyesconfig this
add two minutes to a full build (that anyways takes ~2 hours).
