This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used
to check and regenerate the .config file.  This was done via an indirect
dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make
not to reread the changed .config file.

Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from
.config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies.  It's also
the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus
replaces include/linux/autoconf.h).

This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file
and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e.  silentoldconfig only
writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig
files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

During loading special case the first common case (.config), be silent about

When Makefile.host is included, $(obj-dirs) is subjected to the
addprefix operation for the second time.  Prefix only needs to be added
to the newly added directories, but not to those that came from
Makefile.lib.

This causes the build system to create unneeded empty directories in the
build tree when building in a separate directory.  For instance,
lib/lib/zlib_inflate is created in the build tree.

to .init.text with no warning.

Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> also pointed out a scsi driver
with many references to .exit.text from .rodata. This is compiler
generated references and we already ignore these for .init.text, so
ignore them for .exit.text also.

initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the
kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed.

To fix this the following was done:
- let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included
  in the initramfs
- gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify
  the kbuild file (Makefile)
- utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes
  the initramfs will be rebuild

With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of
functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible
to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they
are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where
a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries.

This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts
each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them
in a way defined by the linker script.

As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this,
eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same
ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on
readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased
on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other
things.

I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit
their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on
that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered
approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or
so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel.

Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times
dramatically.
