For out-of-tree builds, this script invokes cpio twice to copy header
files from the srctree and subsequently from the objtree. According to a
comment in the script, there might be situations in which certain files
already exist in the destination directory when header files are copied
from the objtree:

"The second CPIO can complain if files already exist which can happen
with out of tree builds having stale headers in srctree. Just silence
CPIO for now."

GNU cpio might simply print a warning like "newer or same age version
exists", but toybox cpio exits with a non-zero exit code unless the
command line option "-u" is specified.

To improve compatibility with toybox cpio, add the command line option
"-u" to unconditionally replace existing files in the destination
directory.

<title>kbuild: clean up ${quiet} checks in shell scripts</title>

There were efforts to make 'make -s' really silent when it is a
warning-free build.

The conventional way was to let a shell script check ${quiet}, and if
it is 'silent_', suppress the stdout by itself.

With the previous commit, the 'cmd' takes care of it now. The 'cmd' is
also invoked from if_changed, if_changed_dep, and if_changed_rule.

You can omit ${quiet} checks in shell scripts when they are invoked
from the 'cmd' macro.

<title>kbuild: add variables for compression tools</title>

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 The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete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"

but nothing about include/generated/autoconf.h, which might be more
difficult to understand. Add more comments.

'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.

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.

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.

<title>kheaders: remove unneeded 'cat' command piped to 'head' / 'tail'</title>

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.

The option --sort=ORDER was only introduced in tar 1.28 (2014), which
is rather new and might not be available in some setups.

This patch tries to replicate the previous behaviour as closely as
possible to fix the kheaders build for older environments. It does
not produce identical archives compared to the previous version due
to minor sorting differences but produces reproducible results itself
in my tests.
