Both work, but the latter can cause warnings in user space
from compilers that don't like using undefined identifiers
in preprocessor expressions (quite reasonable).

Pointed out by Randy Dunlap.

The checkbin target on PPC32 isn't quite right.

First, one of the tests (to ensure that some instructions are known to
gas) is never actually invoked because 'checkbin' doesn't know about
stuff set in .config, so we always have the 'else' case run.  This
changes to always running the test and telling the user to upgrade to at
least binutils 2.12.1.

The next problem is that we were doing $(AS) -o /dev/null ...  in both
that test, as well as another.  The problem here is that the checkbin
target is run on the install targets, meaning that /dev/null will get
unlinked when the test passes.  To get around this we use .tmp_gas_check
as the output file instead.

NFS takes some thought to switch to the new symlink scheme, because we
can't rely on the pagecache lookup to find the symlink page when freeing
it - the cache might have been invalidated in the meantime. 

So we hide the page information in the symlink data area itself,
by stealing the last pointer in the page used for the cache. That
way nfs_put_link() can just look up the page directly.

Both gcc and sparse will speed up tokenization by noticing
when a header file is protected by the standard preprocessor
#ifndef .. #endif exclusion.

However, that requires that the headers actually _use_ that
standard exclusion. Some did their own little broken dance.

Sigh...

	b) so's not checking result of kmalloc()
	c) so's not checking result of copy_from_user()
	d) use of do { .... break; ... break; ... } while(0); is *highly*
unidiomatic.  Do not confuse kernel with IOCCC, please. And if you have
religious aversion to multiple return statements in a function, at least
learn the reasons why it is frowned upon in many situations.  Hint: they
all apply to use of break in that manner.

This adds support for the new compiler options -mkernel-backchain,
-mstack-size, -mstack-guard, -mwarn-dynamicstack and -mwarn-framesize.

The option -mkernel-backchain enables the use of modified layout for the
stack frames of kernel functions.  This breaks the ABI, modules compiled
with the option won't work on a kernel compiled with the option and vice
versa.  The positive effect of the option is a drastic reduction of kernel
stack use.  The trick is that the new frame layout allows to overlap the 96
(31 bit)/160 (64 bit) byte bias areas of the functions on the call chain.
This lowers the minimal stack usage of a function from 96 bytes to 16 bytes
(31 bit) and 160 bytes to 24 bytes (64 bit).  The kernel stack use is
decreased to a point where it is possible to use 4K (31 bit) / 8K (64 bit)
stacks.  The split into process stack and interrupt stack is already in
place.

The options -mstack-size and -mstack-guard are used to detect kernel stack
overflows.  The compiler adds code to the prolog of every function that
causes an illegal operation if the kernel stack is about to overflow.

The options -mwarn-dynamicstack and -mwarn-framesize cause the compiler to
emit warnings if a function uses dynamic stack allocation or if the
function frame size is bigger then a specified limit.

To play safe all the new options are configurable.
