Commit f13477b (linux: config.in: add comment for Arm Cortex-M) added a
comment so that the user that the linux kernel may miscompile with
binutils 2.29+, when the target is an armv7m CPU.
However, the real trigger is a compilation in thumb2 mode, which happens
to be the only option for armv7m CPUs.
We can't know whether the kernel will be built in arm or thumb2 mode,
though, because we do not have that information: it is only available in
the Linux' .config file, which we don;t have access to at the time we
run our menuconfig.
So, relax the conditions under which the comment is made, so that it
appears as soon as binutils are >= 2.29 (i.e. not 2.28, which is the
oldest we support) for ARM CPUs.

When binutils > 2.28 are selected on Arm Cortex-M cpu,
linux kernel does not boot due to a new implementation

Kconfig uses either pkg-config or hard-coded /usr/include paths to find
the ncurses or ncursesw library. If ncursesw is found, it will include
<ncursesw.h>. Since Buildroot's host-ncurses doesn't install a .pc file,
and linux.mk anyway doesn't pass the pkg-config options to find the host
pkg-config files, Kconfig will always find the system's ncursesw.h.
However, since commit dde090c299 (linux: fix passing of host CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS) HOST_LDFLAGS is passed to the linux build system. Thus, if
host-ncurses was already built before 'make linux-menuconfig' is called,
the build will pick up libncurses from the host directory, which is NOT
widechar. Thus, two different ncurses configurations are mixed into the
final mconf program. This will result in serious breakage in the
rendering of the menus (lots of @ and question mark characters).
As a workaround (suggested by Yann), don't pass HOST_CFLAGS and
HOST_LDFLAGS when running kconfig commands. For kconfig, we should never
need host packages anyway. This way, the kconfig calls will always use
the system's ncurses and never our host-ncurses.
Note that the same problem could pop up for other kconfig packages as
well if we ever pass HOST_CFLAGS/HOST_LDFLAGS to them. We could force
HOSTCC=$(HOSTCC) directly in kconfig-package. However, for now there
are no other packages that exhibit this problem, so this can be
revisited when they do.

Some Linux kernel configuration options (such as CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC)
require building a host program that needs libelf.
Users who have libelf installed on their system won't see a problem,
but users who don't have libelf installed will get a build
failure. Therefore, this commit adds an option that allows a user to
indicate that his Linux kernel configuration requires libelf. When
this option is enabled, we add host-elfutils to the dependencies of

We were passing HOSTCFLAGS="$(HOSTCFLAGS)" to Linux. However:
- HOSTCFLAGS in Buildroot doesn't exist, and is empty, so this
assignment never did anything. The name of the variable in
Buildroot in HOST_CFLAGS.
- HOSTCFLAGS in Linux isn't used everywhere, and passing it overrides
the default HOSTCFLAGS value defined in the main Linux kernel
Makefile.
In addition, there is no way to pass additional host LDFLAGS in the
Linux kernel build system.
Therefore, we simply shoehorn our HOST_CFLAGS and HOST_LDFLAGS while
passing HOSTCC to the Linux kernel build system. This has been tested
to work fine with host OpenSSL and host libelf only available in
$(HOST_DIR).

Currently, the rule to rebuild the Linux kernel with an initramfs
directly depends on the path of the file of the intermediate cpio image.
This is inherently "bad" from a purity point of view; linux.mk should
not have to delve into the fs internals.
Rather, make it directly depend on the "frontal" rule that generates the
cpio image.
Drop the comment for linux-rebuild-with-initramfs, it was misleading
(talking about generating "the initramfs list of files", which is not
what was done, since we use a cpio as source of initramfs, not a list of
files).

The LINUX_KCONFIG_FIXUP_CMDS are meant to deselect any compression
option that are not selected in the buildroot configuration. But it only
deselects the last one in the list instead of all of them because it
overwrites the LINUX_COMPRESSION_OPT_ variable instead of appending to
it. Only the last option set to that variable gets deselected.
This produces the warning:
.config:2216:warning: override: KERNEL_GZIP changes choice state
is emitted when buildroot runs olddefconfig when buildroot configures a
kernel with a custom config that has a different kernel compression
option set to what is configured in buildroot.
Accumulate all the deselected compression options instead of overwriting
them to ensure all non-selected options get deselected..

have a hash for the latest version, but if we ever add a hash, it
will only be for the latest version.
This simplifies the code a little because soon we will add hash checks

A long time ago, the blind config option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE
was introduced to be able to trigger the linux -> host-uboot-tools
dependency. Back in those days, there was no user-configurable
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS.
Now, however, it is possible to select a custom kernel image name that
needs uboot-tools, and manually enable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. In
this case, however, the linux -> host-uboot-tools is missed and the
build is not reproducible. An example of such a situation is the
upcoming CI40 defconfig.
As a solution, remove BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE entirely. Instead,
just select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS and add the dependency if it
is selected.
Note that this may introduce a redundant dependency in case the user
selected BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS for some other reason (e.g. to
be able to generate a U-Boot environment to include in the image, while
the kernel is built as a zImage). However, the redundant dependency
shouldn't hurt much.

Fix kernel reproducible build if a non-C locale is used on the host

not work:
