Cross compiling the x86 kernel on a non-x86 build machine produces
the following error when CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC is enabled, regardless
of whether libelf-dev is installed or not.

  dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: libelf-dev
  dpkg-buildpackage: warning: build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting
  dpkg-buildpackage: warning: (Use -d flag to override.)

Since this is a build time dependency for a build tool, we need to
depend on the native version of libelf-dev so add the appropriate
annotation.

I noticed that randconfig builds with gcc no longer produce a lot of
ccache hits, unlike with clang, and traced this back to plugins
now being enabled unconditionally if they are supported.

I am now working around this by adding

   export CCACHE_COMPILERCHECK=/usr/bin/size -A %compiler%

to my top-level Makefile. This changes the heuristic that ccache uses
to determine whether the plugins are the same after a 'make clean'.

However, it also seems that being able to just turn off the plugins is
generally useful, at least for build testing it adds noticeable overhead
but does not find a lot of bugs additional bugs, and may be easier for
ccache users than my workaround.

NULL expressions are taken to always be true, as implemented by the
expr_is_yes() macro and by several other functions in expr.c. As such,
they ought to be valid inputs to expr_eq(), which compares two
expressions.

Since commit 5e5c4fa78745 ("scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before
sorting it"), kallsyms_relative_base can be larger than _text, which
causes overflow when building the 32-bit kernel.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/7/156

This is because _text is, unless --all-symbols is specified, now
trimmed from the symbol table before record_relative_base() is called.

Handle the offset signedness also for kallsyms_relative_base. Introduce
a new helper, output_address(), to reduce the code duplication.

Commit 858805b336be ("kbuild: add $(BASH) to run scripts with
bash-extension") shed light on portability issues. Here is another one.

Since commit f07726048d59 ("Fix handling of backlash character in
LINUX_COMPILE_BY name"), we must escape a backslash contained in
LINUX_COMPILE_BY. This is not working on such distros as Ubuntu.

As the POSIX spec [1] says, if any of the operands contain a backslash
( '\' ) character, the results are implementation-defined.

The actual shell of /bin/sh could be bash, dash, etc. depending on
distros, and the behavior of builtin echo command is different among
them.

The bash builtin echo, unless -e is given, copies the arguments to
stdout without expanding escape sequences (BSD-like behavior).

The dash builtin echo, in contrast, adopts System V behavior, which
does expand escape sequences without any option given.

Even non-builtin /bin/echo behaves differently depending on the system.
Due to these variations, echo is considered as a non-portable command.
Using printf is the common solution to avoid the portability issue.

UTS_VERSION is set to struct uts_namespace, hence a too long string
should be truncated so it fits in 64 characters.

On the other hand, LINUX_COMPILE_BY/HOST are not set to uts_namespace.
They are just used in the banners, which do not have specific length
limitation.

I dug into the git history, but I could not find the reason why
these two strings must fit in 64 characters. Remove them.

Now that UTS_VERSION is the only user of UTS_TRUNCATE, I squashed it.
