[ Upstream commit 8ef14c2c41d962756d314f1d7dc972b0ea7a180f ]

This reverts commit 6147b1cf19651c7de297e69108b141fb30aa2349.

The reverted patch results in attempted write access to the source
repository, even if that repository is mounted read-only.

Output from "strace git status -uno --porcelain":

getcwd("/tmp/linux-test", 129)          = 16
open("/tmp/linux-test/.git/index.lock", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) =
	-1 EROFS (Read-only file system)

While git appears to be able to handle this situation, a monitored
build environment (such as the one used for Chrome OS kernel builds)
may detect it and bail out with an access violation error. On top of
that, the attempted write access suggests that git _will_ write to the
file even if a build output directory is specified. Users may have the
reasonable expectation that the source repository remains untouched in
that situation.

[ Upstream commit bbcde0a7241261cd0ca8d8e6b94a4113a4b71443 ]

Since commit b41d920acff8 ("kbuild: deb-pkg: split generating packaging
and build"), the build version of the kernel contained in a deb package
is too low by 1.

Prior to the bad commit, the kernel was built first, then the number
in .version file was read out, and written into the debian control file.

Now, the debian control file is created before the kernel is actually
compiled, which is causing the version number mismatch.

Let the mkdebian script pass KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=${revision} to require
the build system to use the specified version number.

commit 6f4d29df66acd49303a99025046b85cabe7aa17a upstream.

Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6):

	$ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py -
	FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in &lt;module&gt;
	    parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-')
	  File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines
	    line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore')
	AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and
the line can be dropped.

/usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3.  So this would indeed be worth
going into 4.19.

When building to record the mcount locations the kernel uses
KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. This means it lacks
-Qunused-arguments when building with clang, resulting in a lot of
noisy warnings.

If there is no System.map file for "make modules_install",
scripts/depmod.sh will silently exit with success, having done
nothing.  Since this is an unexpected situation, change it to
report a Warning for the missing file.  The behavior is not
changed except for the Warning message.

The (previous) silent success and new Warning can be reproduced
by:
$ make mrproper; make defconfig
$ make modules; make modules_install

and since System.map is produced by "make vmlinux", the steps
above omit producing the System.map file.

If the kernel headers aren't installed we can't build all the tests.
Add a new make target rule 'khdr' in the file lib.mk to generate the
kernel headers and that gets include for every test-dir Makefile that
includes lib.mk If the testdir in turn have its own sub-dirs the
top_srcdir needs to be set to the linux-rootdir to be able to generate
the kernel headers.
