<title>kbuild: centralize .dts-&gt;.dtb rule</title>

<content type='text'>
All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create
a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that
most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather
than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This
difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches.

MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the
new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any
conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle.

Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

- Only try to read the file specified if KCONFIG_ALL_CONFIG is set to
  something other than the empty string or "1".

- Don't use stat to check the name passed to conf_read_simple so that
  zconf_fopen can find the file in the current directory or in SRCTREE
  removing a extremely source of confusing failure, where KCONFIG_ALL_CONFIG
  was not interpreted with respect to the directory make was called in.

- If conf_read_simple fails complain clearly and stop processing.
  Allowing the simple debugging of typos.

- Clearly document the behavior so it is clear to users which
  values are treated as flags and which values are treated as
  filenames.

The kconfig documentation suggests using plain 'diff' to compare config
files and then adds "Yes, we need something better here".  Commit
a717417e7f96 ("kconfig: add diffconfig utility") added what that comment
was looking for.

Add support for an "archheaders" target.  This target can generate
files that need to be installed for user space by "make
headers_install" or "make headers_install_all".

In order to support "make headers_install_all", it must be able to run
without the tree having to be configured first.
