CONFIG_MLONGCALLS was introduced in commit
ec758f98328da3eb933a25dc7a2eed01ef44d849 to overcome linker issues when linking
huge linux kernels, e.g. with many modules linked in.

But in the kernel module loader there is no support yet for the new relocation
types, which is why modules built with -mlong-calls can't be loaded.
Furthermore, for modules long calls are not really necessary, since we already
use stub sections which resolve long distance calls.

So, let's just disable this compiler option when compiling kernel modules.

When building a 64bit kernel which includes all necessary drivers and
filesystems the vmlinux kernel often gets so huge, that the linker won't
be able to resolve the branch stubs. This patch overcomes this limit by
providing an option to compile the kernel with the -mlong-calls compiler
option.

The current Makefile will only choose the hppa64 cross compiler when
running natively on hppa in a 32bit userspace.
This patch additionally chooses the correct 32/64 bit hppa compiler even
when doing real cross compiling to hppa/hppa64 from another architecture.

    kbuild: link of vmlinux moved to a script

But we should be deriving the location of libgcc in the same way as all
the other archs, so fix by adding a LIBGCC variable which is evaluated
in the makefile

The user may wish to set their own value (for real cross compiles).  Since the
top level Makefile initialises CROSS_COMPILE to empty by default, we must
check it for being empty (rather than for being defined) before we override.

<title>kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script</title>

<id>caa27b66bd7188fd063769eaf4b33533ef0709e6</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

  0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

This patch adds the ftrace debugging functionality to the parisc kernel.
It will currently only work with 64bit kernels, because the gcc options -pg
and -ffunction-sections can't be enabled at the same time and -ffunction-sections
is still needed to be able to link 32bit kernels.
