Kbuild updates for v4.17
- add a shell script to get Clang version
- improve portability of build scripts
- drop always-enabled CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVE and remove unused code
- rename built-in.o which is now thin archive to built-in.a
- process clean/build targets one by one to get along with -j option
- simplify ld-option
- improve building with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
- define KBUILD_MODNAME even for objects shared among multiple modules
- avoid linking multiple instances of same objects from composite objects
- move <linux/compiler_types.h> to c_flags to include it only for C files
- clean-up various Makefiles
kbuild: get <linux/compiler_types.h> out of <linux/kconfig.h>
Since commit 28128c61e08e ("kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid
missed struct attributes"), <linux/kconfig.h> pulls in kernel-space
headers to unrelated places.
Commit 0f9da844d877 ("MIPS: boot: Define __ASSEMBLY__ for its.S build")
suppress the build error by defining __ASSEMBLY__, but ITS (i.e. DTS)
is not assembly, and should not include <linux/compiler_types.h> in the
first place.
Looking at arch/s390/tools/Makefile, host programs gen_facilities and
gen_opcode_table now pull in <linux/compiler_types.h> as well.
The motivation for that commit was to define necessary attributes
before any struct is defined. Obviously, this happens only in C.
It is enough to include <linux/compiler_types.h> only when compiling
C files, and only when compiling kernel space. Move the include to
c_flags.
