Commit 37c8a5fafa3b ("kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules")
moved the location of 'dtbs_install' target which caused dtbs to not be
installed when building debian package with 'bindeb-pkg' target. Update
the builddeb script to use the same logic that determines if there's a
'dtbs_install' target which is presence of the arch dts directory. Also,
use CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE instead of CONFIG_OF as that's a better
indication of whether we are building dtbs.

This commit will also have the side effect of installing dtbs on any
arch that has dts files. Previously, it was dependent on whether the
arch defined 'dtbs_install'.

<title>Revert "scripts/setlocalversion: git: Make -dirty check more robust"</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>kbuild: deb-pkg: fix too low build version number</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

The current SED_CONFIG_EXP could match to comment lines in config
fragment files, especially when CONFIG_PREFIX_ is empty. For example,
Buildroot uses empty prefixing; starting symbols with BR2_ is just
convention.

Make the sed expression more robust against false positives from
comment lines. The new sed expression matches to only valid patterns.

Prior to commit 80463f1b7bf9 ("kbuild: add --include-dir flag only

--include-dir redundantly, and the wrong code '$MAKE image_name'
was working by relying on that. Now, the potential issue that had
previously been hidden just showed up.

'$MAKE image_name' recurses to the generated $(objtree)/Makefile and
ends up with running in srctree, which is incorrect. It should be
invoked with '-f $srctree/Makefile' (or KBUILD_SRC=) to be executed
in objtree.

There is one more user of $(cc-name) in the top Makefile. It is supposed
to detect Clang before invoking Kconfig, so it should still be there
in the $(shell ...) form. All the other users of $(cc-name) have been
replaced with $(CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG). Hence, scripts/Kbuild.include does
not need to define cc-name any more.

Evaluating cc-name invokes the compiler every time even when you are
not compiling anything, like 'make help'. This is not efficient.

The compiler type has been already detected in the Kconfig stage.
Use CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG, instead.

The compiler type has been already detected in the Kconfig stage.
Use CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG, instead.

Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
  and bring them up to date.

  The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
  (i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
  GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
  reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.

  Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
  which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
  significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
  only guarding a few non-attribute macros).

  This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
  kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
  have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
  more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.

  The series was triggered due to the move to gcc &gt;= 4.6. In turn, this
  series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
  __has_attribute on its own.

  Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
  applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
  unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"

* tag 'compiler-attributes-for-linus-4.20-rc1' of https://github.com/ojeda/linux:
  compiler-gcc: remove comment about gcc 4.5 from unreachable()
  compiler.h: update definition of unreachable()
  Compiler Attributes: ext4: remove local __nonstring definition
  Compiler Attributes: auxdisplay: panel: use __nonstring
  Compiler Attributes: enable -Wstringop-truncation on W=1 (gcc &gt;= 8)
  Compiler Attributes: add support for __nonstring (gcc &gt;= 8)
  Compiler Attributes: add MAINTAINERS entry
  Compiler Attributes: add Doc/process/programming-language.rst
  Compiler Attributes: remove uses of __attribute__ from compiler.h
  Compiler Attributes: KENTRY used twice the "used" attribute
  Compiler Attributes: use feature checks instead of version checks
  Compiler Attributes: add missing SPDX ID in compiler_types.h
  Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded sparse (__CHECKER__) tests
  Compiler Attributes: homogenize __must_be_array
  Compiler Attributes: remove unneeded tests
  Compiler Attributes: always use the extra-underscores syntax
  Compiler Attributes: remove unused attributes
