Since .kconfig.d is used as a make dependency of include/linux/autoconf.h, it
should be written earlier than the header file, to avoid a subsequent rebuild
to consider the header outdated.

I don't see any use case for the CONFIG_CC_ALIGN_* options:
- they are only available if EMBEDDED
- people using EMBEDDED will most likely also enable
  CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
- the default for -Os is to disable alignment

In case someone is doing performance comparisons and discovers that the
default settings gcc chooses aren't good, the only sane thing is to discuss
whether it makes sense to change this, not through offering options to change
this locally.

The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed.  This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.

For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html



Changes in this patch:
  - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
  - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
  - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
    targets are up-to-date or not.

Building an allmodconfig kernel for ppc64 revealed a number of false
positives - originally reported by Andrew Morton.
This patch removes most if not all false positives for ppc64:

Section .opd
The .opd section contains function descriptors at least for ppc64.
So ignore it for .init.text (was ignored for .exit.text).
See description of function descriptors here:
http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi-1.7.html



Section .toc1
ppc64 places some static variables in .toc1 - ignore the.

Section __bug_tabe
BUG() and friends uses __bug_table. Ignore warnings from that section.

Module parameters are placed in .data.rel for ppc64, for adjust pattern to
match on section named .data*

Tested with gcc: 3.4.0 and binutils 2.15.90.0.3

'allnoconfig' is described by 'make help' as a "minimal config", that's not
strictly correct. To be pedantic, a minimal config would be one where
EMBEDDED was set to Y and most things therein disabled etc. Simply
answering 'no' to all options does not give a minimal config.
A better description of allnoconfig is that it answers all options with 'no'.

This patch updates the description.

Andrew Morton reported a number of false positives for ia64 - like these:
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind.init.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .IA_64.unwind.exit.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind after '' (at offset 0x1e8)

They are all false positives - or at least the .c code looks OK.
It is not known why sometimes a section name is appended and sometimes not.

Fix is to accept references from all sections that includes "unwind." in the name.

With the current way of generating the Makefile in the output directory
for builds outside of the source tree, specifying real targets (rather
than phony ones) doesn't work in an already (partially) built tree, as
the stub Makefile doesn't have any dependency information available.
Thus, all targets where files may actually exist must be listed
explicitly and, due to what I'd call a make misbehavior, directory
targets must then also be special cased.

While the recent change to also escape # symbols when storing C-file
compilation command lines was helpful, it should be in effect for all
command lines, as much as the dollar escaping should be in effect for

Section mismatch is identified as references to .init*
sections from non .init sections. And likewise references
to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections.

.init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized
and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates.
.exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and
thus references to .exit are also oops candidates.

The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which
called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and
reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality
inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted.
They will though be kept for a while so users can do double
checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts
so result is not 1:1.
All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented
the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost.

Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run
for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but
the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.
