Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - GCC plugin support by Emese Revfy from grsecurity, with a fixup from
   Kees Cook.  The plugins are meant to be used for static analysis of
   the kernel code.  Two plugins are provided already.

 - reduction of the gcc commandline by Arnd Bergmann.

 - IS_ENABLED / IS_REACHABLE macro enhancements by Masahiro Yamada

 - bin2c fix by Michael Tautschnig

 - setlocalversion fix by Wolfram Sang

* 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
  gcc-plugins: disable under COMPILE_TEST
  kbuild: Abort build on bad stack protector flag
  scripts: Fix size mismatch of kexec_purgatory_size
  kbuild: make samples depend on headers_install
  Kbuild: don't add obj tree in additional includes
  Kbuild: arch: look for generated headers in obtree
  Kbuild: always prefix objtree in LINUXINCLUDE
  Kbuild: avoid duplicate include path
  Kbuild: don't add ../../ to include path
  vmlinux.lds.h: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()

There are very few files that need add an -I$(obj) gcc for the preprocessor
or the assembler. For C files, we add always these for both the objtree and
srctree, but for the other ones we require the Makefile to add them, and
Kbuild then adds it for both trees.

As a preparation for changing the meaning of the -I$(obj) directive to
only refer to the srctree, this changes the two instances in arch/x86 to use
an explictit $(objtree) prefix where needed, otherwise we won't find the
headers any more, as reported by the kbuild 0day builder.

<title>powerpc/86xx: Add support for Emerson/Artesyn MVME7100</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for the Artesyn MVME7100 Single Board Computer.

The MVME7100 is a 6U form factor VME64 computer with:

    - A two e600 cores Freescale MPC8641D CPU
    - 2 GB of DDR2 onboard memory
    - Four Gigabit Ethernets
    - Five 16550 compatible UARTs
    - One USB 2.0 port
    - Two PCI/PCI eXpress Mezzanine Card (PMC/XMC) Slots
    - A DS1375 Real Time Clock (RTC)
    - 512 KB of Non-Volatile Memory (NVRAM)
    - Two 64 KB EEPROMs
    - 128 MB NOR and 4/8 GB NAND Flash

This patch is based on linux-4.7-rc1 and has been only boot tested.

Limitations:
    This patch covers only models 171 and 173
    No plans to support CPLD timers

Know issues:
    All four PHYs work in polling mode

Configuration is missing for:
    PCI IDSEL and PCI Interrupt definition

Support is missing for:
    Cache and memory controllers (which are very similar to the 85xx ones
        but right now I don't know if we can re-use their support)
    Watchdog, USB, NVRAM, NOR, NAND, EEPROMs, VME, PMC/XMC and RTC

<title>powerpc/boot: Add OPAL console to epapr wrappers</title>

This patch adds an OPAL console backend to the powerpc boot wrapper so
that decompression failures inside the wrapper can be reported to the
user. This is important since it typically indicates data corruption in
the firmware and other nasty things.

Currently this only works when building a little endian kernel. When
compiling a 64 bit BE kernel the wrapper is always build 32 bit to be
compatible with some 32 bit firmwares. BE support will be added at a
later date. Another limitation of this is that only the "raw" type of
OPAL console is supported, however machines that provide a hvsi console
also provide a raw console so this is not an issue in practice.

Commit dc37374b9c833 ("powerpc/fsl: Move Freescale device tree files
into fsl folder") moved a lot of device tree files into fsl directory,
fixing Makefile for cuImage target only.  Unfortunately there are other
targets which require embedding a device tree into the kernel image
(e.g. dtbImage.%).  So use a more generic approach.

It makes no sense that some Freescale device tree files are in fsl
directory while some others not. This patch move Freescale device tree
files into fsl folder. To do that the following two steps are made:
- Move Freescale device tree files into fsl folder.
- Update the include path in these files from "fsl/*.dtsi" to "*.dtsi".

Please add "fsl/" prefix when you make dtb using Makefile.

cross compilers that still default to ABI v1.

The celleb code has seen no actual development for ~7 years.

We (maintainers) have no access to test hardware, and it is highly
likely the code has bit-rotted.

As far as we're aware the hardware was never widely available, and is
certainly no longer available, and no one on the list has shown any
interest in it over the years.

So remove it. If anyone has one and cares please speak up.
