When building to record the mcount locations the kernel uses KBUILD_CFLAGS but not KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. This means it lacks -Qunused-arguments when building with clang, resulting in a lot of noisy warnings. Signed-off-by:

If there is no System.map file for "make modules_install", scripts/depmod.sh will silently exit with success, having done nothing. Since this is an unexpected situation, change it to report a Warning for the missing file. The behavior is not changed except for the Warning message. The (previous) silent success and new Warning can be reproduced by: $ make mrproper; make defconfig $ make modules; make modules_install and since System.map is produced by "make vmlinux", the steps above omit producing the System.map file.

If the kernel headers aren't installed we can't build all the tests. Add a new make target rule 'khdr' in the file lib.mk to generate the kernel headers and that gets include for every test-dir Makefile that includes lib.mk If the testdir in turn have its own sub-dirs the top_srcdir needs to be set to the linux-rootdir to be able to generate the kernel headers.

When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting with an error message and error status: Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it. This is probably in the kmod package. Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod." I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run instead of it being run on the build system.

$(git diff-index) relies on the index being refreshed. This refreshing of the index used to happen, but was removed in cdf2bc63 ("scripts/setlocalversion on write-protected source tree", 2013-06-14) due to issues with a read-only filesystem. If the index is not refreshed, one runs into problems. E.g. as described in [0], git stores the uid in its index, so even if just the uid has changed (or git is tricked into thinking so), then we will think the tree is dirty. So as in [1], if you package linux-git with a system that uses fakeroot(1), you get a "-dirty" version. Unless you manually $(git update-index --refresh) themselves. The simplest solution seems to be $(git status --porcelain), with an additional flag saying "ignore untracked files". It seems clearer about what it does, and avoids issues regarding cached indexes and writable filesystems, but still has stable output for scripting.

Commit a0f97e06 ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS. Commit 222d394d ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS. Commit 06c5040c ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS. For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed. Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental override of the variable. Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the naming convention. I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system is a different world. Signed-off-by:

checkpatch repeatedly uses a runtime minimum version check that validates the minimum perl version required for a regex match by using a "$^V ge 5.10.0" runtime string match.
