[ Upstream commit 973b710b8821c3401ad7a25360c89e94b26884ac ]

Tell tar to ignore silly-rename files (".__afs*" and ".nfs*") when building
the header archive.  These occur when a file that is open is unlinked
locally, but hasn't yet been closed.  Such files are visible to the user
via the getdents() syscall and so programs may want to do things with them.

During the kernel build, such files may be made during the processing of
header files and the cleanup may get deferred by fput() which may result in
tar seeing these files when it reads the directory, but they may have
disappeared by the time it tries to open them, causing tar to fail with an
error.  Further, we don't want to include them in the tarball if they still
exist.

With CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y, something like the following may be seen:

   find: './kernel/.tmp_cpio_dir/include/dt-bindings/reset/.__afs2080': No such file or directory
   tar: ./include/linux/greybus/.__afs3C95: File removed before we read it

The find warning doesn't seem to cause a problem.

Fix this by telling tar when called from in gen_kheaders.sh to exclude such
files.  This only affects afs and nfs; cifs uses the Windows Hidden
attribute to prevent the file from being seen.

[ Upstream commit 3bd27a847a3a4827a948387cc8f0dbc9fa5931d5 ]

Build environments might be running with different umask settings
resulting in indeterministic file modes for the files contained in
kheaders.tar.xz. The file itself is served with 444, i.e. world
readable. Archive the files explicitly with 744,a+X to improve
reproducibility across build environments.

--mode=0444 is not suitable as directories need to be executable. Also,
444 makes it hard to delete all the readonly files after extraction.

[ Upstream commit 49c386ebbb43394ff4773ce24f726f6afc4c30c8 ]

This reverts commit 700dea5a0bea9f64eba89fae7cb2540326fdfdc1.

The reason for that commit was --sort=ORDER introduced in
tar 1.28 (2014). More than 3 years have passed since then.

Requiring GNU tar 1.28 should be fine now because we require
GCC 5.1 (2015).

<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"

'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.

This script copies headers by the cpio command twice; first from
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.
