When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile. This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.
When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected. However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules). This causes confusion.
The solution is two-parted. This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile. The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.
Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.
Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.
The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:
ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif

The variable CPPFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
This patch replace use of CPPFLAGS with KBUILD_CPPFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CPPFLAGS=...
to specify additional CPP commandline options.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390

On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

These checks has been present for several kernel releases (> 5).
So lets just get rid of them.
With this we no longer check for use of:
EXTRA_TARGETS, O_TARGET, L_TARGET, list-multi, export-objs
There were three remaining in-tree users of O_TARGET in some
unmaintained sh64 code - mail sent to the maintainer + list.

Previously kbuild choked over the following:
obj-y += ../../../arch/i386/kernel/bootflag.o
This has resulted in some rather ugly workarounds in
current x86_64 tree.
This patch fixes kbuild to allow the above and enable
potential cleanups in x86_64 and maybe in other places.

kbuild used $¤(*F to get filename of target without extension.
This was used in several places all over kbuild, but introducing
make -rR broke his for all cases where we specified full path to
target/prerequsite. It is assumed that make -rR disables old style
suffix-rules which is why is suddenly failed.
ia64 was impacted by this change because several div* routines in
arch/ia64/lib are build using explicit paths and then kbuild failed.
Thanks to David Mosberger-Tang <David.Mosberger@acm.org> for an explanation
what was the root-cause and for testing on ia64.
This patch also fixes two uses of $(*F) in arch/um

This reverts commit e5c44fd88c.
Thanks to Daniel Ritz and Michal Piotrowski for noticing the problem.
Daniel says:
"[The] reason is a recent change that made modules always shows as
module.mod. it breaks modprobe and probably many scripts..besides
lsmod looking horrible
stuff like this in modprobe.conf:
install pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core; /sbin/modprobe pcmcia
makes modprobe fork/exec endlessly calling itself...until oom
interrupts it"

make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F)
to get target filename without extension.
This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using:
$(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality.

This fix a longstanding bug where proper options was not
passed to hostcc in case of a make O=.. build.
This bug showed up in (not yet merged) klibc, and is not known
to have any counterpart in-kernel.
Fixed by moving the flags macro to Kbuild.include so it can be used
by both Makefile.lib and Makefile.host.

This patch fixes a problem when we use well known kernel symbols as module
names.
For example, if module source name is current.c, idle_stack.c or etc.,
we have a bad KBUILD_MODNAME value.
For example, KBUILD_MODNAME will be "get_current()" instead of "current", or
"(init_thread_union.stack)" instead of "idle_task".
The trick is to define a stringify macro on the commandline - named
KBUILD_STR for namespace reasons - and then to stringify the module
name.
There are a few uses of KBUILD_MODNAME throughout the tree but the usage
is for debug and will not be harmed by this change so left untouched for now.
While at it KBUILD_BASENAME was changed too. Any spinlock usage in the
unix module would have created wrong section names without it.
Usage in spinlock.h fixed so it no longer stringify KBUILD_BASENAME.

Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
