Documentation: dontdiff: Update with additional entries

2017-01-26T22:08:06+00:00

Add a bunch of entries reflective of programs that the kernel build:
sortextable, dtc. And while at it, expand the lex*.c entries to cover
e.g: dtc-lexer.c. Finally, exclude devicetable-offsets.h

Remove last traces of ikconfig.h

2016-12-14T09:54:28+00:00

The build system stopped generating ikconfig.h in v2.6.8. Remove an entry
for it in dontdiff. There's also a reference to it in a small comment.
Remove that comment too, as it is of little help in any case.

GCC plugin infrastructure

2016-06-07T20:57:10+00:00

This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from
grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and
building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too.
Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins.

The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory
there. The plugins compile with these options:
* -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too
* -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too
* -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too
* -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal
errors)
* -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h)
* -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version
variable, plugin-version.h)

The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It
supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script
chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).
This script also checks the availability of the included headers in
scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h.

The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins
and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions.

The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration
structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes.

Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper
targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules.

Based on work created by the PaX Team.

Documentation: LLVMLinux: Update Documentation/dontdiff

Clang has a few other kinds of derived files which shouldn't be added to a
patch. Add them to the Documentation/dontdiff file to prevent this.
