kbuild: add a script to remove stale generated files We maintain .gitignore and Makefiles so build artifacts are properly ignored by Git, and cleaned up by 'make clean'. However, the code is always changing; generated files are often moved to another directory, or removed when they become unnecessary. Such garbage files tend to be left over in the source tree because people usually git-pull without cleaning the tree. This is not only the noise for 'git status', but also a build issue in some cases. One solution is to remove a stale file like commit 223c24a7dba9 ("kbuild: Automatically remove stale <linux/version.h> file") did. Such workaround should be removed after a while, but we forget about that if we scatter the workaround code in random places. So, this commit adds a new script to collect cleanings of stale files. As a start point, move the code in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile into this script. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

powerpc/purgatory: Omit use of bin2c The .incbin assembler directive is much faster than bin2c + $(CC). Do similar refactoring as in commit 4c0f032d4963 ("s390/purgatory: Omit use of bin2c"). Please note the .quad directive matches to size_t in C (both 8 byte) because the purgatory is compiled only for the 64-bit kernel. (KEXEC_FILE depends on PPC64).

kbuild: rust: move rust/target.json to scripts/ scripts/ is a better place to generate files used treewide. With target.json moved to scripts/, you do not need to add target.json to no-clean-files or MRPROPER_FILES. 'make clean' does not visit scripts/, but 'make mrproper' does.

kbuild: do not put .scmversion into the source tarball .scmversion is used by (src)rpm-pkg and deb-pkg to carry KERNELRELEASE. In fact, deb-pkg does not rely on it any more because the generated debian/rules specifies KERNELRELEASE from the command line. Do likwise for (src)rpm-pkg, and remove this feature. For the same reason, you do not need to save LOCALVERSION in the spec file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <nicolas@fjasle.eu>
