commit 8dfb61dcbaceb19a5ded5e9c9dcf8d05acc32294 upstream.
Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools,
such as pigz, pbzip2, pxz. For example, multi-threaded tools to
speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2
Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env
vars are reserved by the tools. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete
since 2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) still rely
on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent.
The credit goes to @grsecurity.
As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use:
$ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0"

This comment block explains why include/generated/compile.h is omitted,
but nothing about include/generated/autoconf.h, which might be more
difficult to understand. Add more comments.

commit 1463f74f492eea7191f0178e01f3d38371a48210 upstream.
'pushd' ... 'popd' is the last bash-specific code in this script.
One way to avoid it is to run the code in a sub-shell.
With that addressed, you can run this script with sh.
I replaced $(BASH) with $(CONFIG_SHELL), and I changed the hashbang
to #!/bin/sh.

commit ea79e5168be644fdaf7d4e6a73eceaf07b3da76a upstream.
This script copies headers by the cpio command twice; first from
srctree, and then from objtree. However, when we building in-tree,
we know the srctree and the objtree are the same. That is, all the
headers copied by the first cpio are overwritten by the second one.
Skip the first cpio when we are building in-tree.

commit 0e11773e76098729552b750ccff79374d1e62002 upstream.
This script computes md5sum of headers in srctree and in objtree.
However, when we are building in-tree, we know the srctree and the
objtree are the same. That is, we end up with the same computation
twice. In fact, the first two lines of kernel/kheaders.md5 are always
the same for in-tree builds.
Unify the two md5sum calculations.
For in-tree builds ($building_out_of_srctree is empty), we check
only two directories, "include", and "arch/$SRCARCH/include".
For out-of-tree builds ($building_out_of_srctree is 1), we check
4 directories, "$srctree/include", "$srctree/arch/$SRCARCH/include",
"include", and "arch/$SRCARCH/include" since we know they are all
different.

commit 9a066357184485784f782719093ff804d05b85db upstream.
The 'head' and 'tail' commands can take a file path directly.
So, you do not need to run 'cat'.
cat kernel/kheaders.md5 | head -1
... is equivalent to:
head -1 kernel/kheaders.md5
and the latter saves forking one process.
While I was here, I replaced 'head -1' with 'head -n 1'.
I also replaced '==' with '=' since we do not have a good reason to
use the bashism.
