scripts/Makefile.build replaces the suffix .o with .ko, then
scripts/Makefile.modpost calls the sed command to change .ko back
to the original .o suffix.

Instead of converting the suffixes back-and-forth, store the .o paths
in modules.order, and replace it with .ko in 'make modules_install'.

This avoids the unneeded sed command.

<title>kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head</title>

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

<title>gen_compile_commands: handle multiple lines per .mod file</title>

scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py incorrectly assumes that
each .mod file only contains one line. That assumption was correct when
the script was originally created, but commit 9413e7640564 ("kbuild:
split the second line of *.mod into *.usyms") changed the .mod file
format so that there is one entry per line, and potentially many lines.

The problem can be reproduced by using Kbuild to generate
compile_commands.json, like this:

    make CC=clang compile_commands.json

In many cases, the problem might be overlooked because many subsystems
only have one line anyway. However, in some subsystems (Nouveau, with
762 entries, is a notable example) it results in skipping most of the
subsystem.

Fix this by fully processing each .mod file.

The current gen_compile_commands.py assumes that objects are always
built by a single command.

It makes sense to support cases where objects are built by a series of
commands:

  cmd_&lt;object&gt; := &lt;command1&gt; ; &lt;command2&gt;

One use-case is that &lt;command1&gt; is a compiler command, and &lt;command2&gt;
an objtool command.

It allows *.cmd files to contain an objtool command so that any change
in it triggers object rebuilds.

If ; appears after the C source file, take the first command.

<title>gen_compile_commands: prune some directories</title>

If directories are passed to gen_compile_commands.py, os.walk() traverses
all the subdirectories to search for .cmd files, but we know some of them
are not worth traversing.

Use the 'topdown' parameter of os.walk to prune them.

Documentation about the 'topdown' option of os.walk:
  When topdown is True, the caller can modify the dirnames list
  in-place (perhaps using del or slice assignment), and walk() will
  only recurse into the subdirectories whose names remain in dirnames;
  this can be used to prune the search, impose a specific order of
  visiting, or even to inform walk() about directories the caller
  creates or renames before it resumes walk() again. Modifying
  dirnames when topdown is False has no effect on the behavior of
  the walk, because in bottom-up mode the directories in dirnames
  are generated before dirpath itself is generated.

This commit prunes four directories, .git, Documentation, include, and
tools.

The first three do not contain any C files, so skipping them makes this
script work slightly faster. My main motivation is the last one, tools/
directory.

Commit 6ca4c6d25949 ("gen_compile_commands: do not support .cmd files
under tools/ directory") stopped supporting the tools/ directory.
The current code no longer picks up .cmd files from the tools/
directory.

If you run:

  ./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py --log_level=INFO

then, you will see several "File ... not found" log messages.

This is expected, and I do not want to support the tools/ directory.
However, without an explicit comment "do not support tools/", somebody
might try to get it back. Clarify this.
