Masahiro Yamada bdf1b29aa5 kbuild: update config_data.gz only when the content of .config is changed
commit 46b41d5dd8019b264717978c39c43313a524d033 upstream.

If the timestamp of the .config file is updated, config_data.gz is
regenerated, then vmlinux is re-linked. This occurs even if the content
of the .config has not changed at all.

This issue was mitigated by commit 67424f61f813 ("kconfig: do not write
.config if the content is the same"); Kconfig does not update the
.config when it ends up with the identical configuration.

The issue is remaining when the .config is created by *_defconfig with
some config fragment(s) applied on top.

This is typical for powerpc and mips, where several *_defconfig targets
are constructed by using merge_config.sh.

One workaround is to have the copy of the .config. The filechk rule
updates the copy, kernel/config_data, by checking the content instead
of the timestamp.

With this commit, the second run with the same configuration avoids
the needless rebuilds.

Arnd Bergmann c11fd91e1b elfcore: fix building with clang
commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.

kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with
clang in combination with recordmcount:

  Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
  kernel/elfcore.o: failed

Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions.  As only
two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig
symbols to key off the declaration.

Masahiro Yamada 3bd261401e kheaders: remove the last bashism to allow sh to run it
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.
