Using GCC_VERSION reduces complexity, is easier to read and is GCC's
recommended mechanism for doing version checks. (Just don't ask me why
they didn't define it in the first place.) This also makes it easy to
merge compiler-gcc{,3,4}.h should somebody want to.

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

GCC 3.0 and 3.1 are too old to build a working kernel.

[ This check got dropped as obsolete when I simplified the gcc header
inclusion mess in f153b82121b0366fe0e5f9553545cce237335175, but Willy
Tarreau reports actually having those old versions still.. -Linus ]

- include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc
header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the
non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions)
- don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets
released). That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the
gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!)
- generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than
having a mess of #if conditionals.

__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc
compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they
are referenced only in inline assembly. It is defined to be
__attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still
emitted for such functions.
__maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function
and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation
of preprocessor macros. Function prototypes shall be marked with
__maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on
preprocessor macros.
No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both
__attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc
manual.
__attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current
code is converted to using __used.

Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a
probable uninitialized state of a variable.
Example:
- spinlock_t *ptl;
+ spinlock_t *uninitialized_var(ptl);
Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious.
- Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several
bytes of text.
- Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes
cause the `x = x' hack to stop working
- Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs
can easily turn it off.

This patch is the first in a series that tries to optimize the kernel in terms
of size (and thus cache behavior, both cpu and pagecache).
This first patch changes __always_inline to be a forced inline instead of the
"regular" inline it was on everything except alpha. This forced inline
matches the intention of the define better as a matter of documentation.
There is no change in behavior by this patch, since "inline" currently is
mapped to a forced inline anyway.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
