kernel.spec is the last piece that resides outside the rpmbuild/

<title>kbuild: implement CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS without recursion</title>

<id>5e9e95cc9148b82074a5eae283e63bce3f1aacfe</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, Kbuild recursively traverses
the directory tree to determine which EXPORT_SYMBOL to trim. If an
EXPORT_SYMBOL turns out to be unused by anyone, Kbuild begins the
second traverse, where some source files are recompiled with their
EXPORT_SYMBOL() tuned into a no-op.

Linus stated negative opinions about this slowness in commits:

 - 5cf0fd591f2e ("Kbuild: disable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS option")
 - a555bdd0c58c ("Kbuild: enable TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS again, with some guarding")

We can do this better now. The final data structures of EXPORT_SYMBOL
are generated by the modpost stage, so modpost can selectively emit
KSYMTAB entries that are really used by modules.

Commit f73edc8951b2 ("kbuild: unify two modpost invocations") is another
ground-work to do this in a one-pass algorithm. With the list of modules,
modpost sets sym-&gt;used if it is used by a module. modpost emits KSYMTAB
only for symbols with sym-&gt;used==true.

BTW, Nicolas explained why the trimming was implemented with recursion:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/2o2rpn97-79nq-p7s2-nq5-8p83391473r@syhkavp.arg/

Actually, we never achieved that level of optimization where the chain
reaction of trimming comes into play because:

 - CONFIG_LTO_CLANG cannot remove any unused symbols
 - CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled only for vmlinux,
   but not modules

If deeper trimming is required, we need to revisit this, but I guess
that is unlikely to happen.

.scmversion is used by (src)rpm-pkg and deb-pkg to carry KERNELRELEASE.

In fact, deb-pkg does not rely on it any more because the generated
debian/rules specifies KERNELRELEASE from the command line.

Do likwise for (src)rpm-pkg, and remove this feature.
For the same reason, you do not need to save LOCALVERSION in the
spec file.

scripts/ is a better place to generate files used treewide.

With target.json moved to scripts/, you do not need to add target.json
to no-clean-files or MRPROPER_FILES.

'make clean' does not visit scripts/, but 'make mrproper' does.

The .incbin assembler directive is much faster than bin2c + $(CC).

Do similar refactoring as in commit 4c0f032d4963 ("s390/purgatory:
Omit use of bin2c").

Please note the .quad directive matches to size_t in C (both 8 byte)
because the purgatory is compiled only for the 64-bit kernel.
(KEXEC_FILE depends on 64BIT).
