Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0 Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0. It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8. I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still be some that hit it, I imagine. There are three basic issues: 1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3. 2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of. 3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

kbuild: optimize headers_* targets Move the core functionality of headers_install and headers_check to two small perl scripts. The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and changed to operate on all files in a directory. So if one file is changed then all files in the directory is processed. perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this is pure text processing which perl is good at and especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to see changes / new checks implmented. The speed is ~300% faster on this box. And the output generated to the screen is now down to two lines per directory (one for install, one for check) so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build. The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

kbuild: install all headers when arch is changed We see some header files that are selected dependent on the actual architecture so force a reinstallation of all header files when the arch changes. This slows down "make headers_check_all" but then we better reflect reality. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

warn about use of uninstalled kernel headers User applications frequently hit problems when they try to use the kernel headers directly, rather than the exported headers. This adds an explicit warning for this case, and points to a URL holding an explanation of why this is wrong and what to do about it.

headers_install: fix __packed in exported kernel headers checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut. For example busybox will fail to compile: CC miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0: /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’ /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here ... Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in the header_install.pl script.

kbuild: in headers_install autoconvert asm/inline/volatile to __xxx__ Headers in userspace should be using the __xxx__ form of the asm, inline, and volatile keywords.
