[PATCH 00/23] kconfig: move compiler capability tests to Kconfig

[Masahiro Yamada]

I brushed up the implementation in this version.

In the previous RFC, CC_HAS_ was described by using 'option shell=',
like this:

config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
        bool
        option shell="$CC -Werror -fstack-protector -c -x c /dev/null"

After I thought a bit more, the following syntax is more grammatical,
and flexible.

config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
        bool
        default $(shell $CC -Werror -fstack-protector -c -x c /dev/null)

This version supports cc-option, so it can be written as:

config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
        bool
        default $(cc-option -fstack-protector)

To support this in a clean way, I introduced a new concept 'function'
like we see in Makefiles.

$(shell ...) is a built-in function.  $(cc-option ...) is implemented
as macro (user-defined function).

I also try cleaning of stack-protector, gcc-plugins since the Makefile
is so dirty.

Current limitations:

Dependency on outside scripts.
  For example, scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protecter.sh is run from
  Kconfig.  When the shell script is updated, should Kconfig be re-run
  automatically?

Inter-option dependency:
  $(call cc-option,...) in Makefile accumulates added options to
  KBUILD_CFLAGS, but it is difficult to do it in Kconfig.
  If a compiler option check is dependent on another option,
  this is a difficult case.  Let's see how significant it is.

Functions are evaluated statically:
  Functions are only expanded when parsing the Kconfig.  So, it can
  not refelect user configuration.  If this is required, $(shell )
  must be dynamically re-calculated depending on other symbols.
  But, this is difficult, and may cause performance issue.
