The pattern prefixed with '/' matches files in the same directory,
but not ones in sub-directories.

If the timestamp of the .config file is updated, config_data.gz is
regenerated, then vmlinux is re-linked. This occurs even if the content
of the .config has not changed at all.
This issue was mitigated by commit 67424f61f813 ("kconfig: do not write
.config if the content is the same"); Kconfig does not update the
.config when it ends up with the identical configuration.
The issue is remaining when the .config is created by *_defconfig with
some config fragment(s) applied on top.
This is typical for powerpc and mips, where several *_defconfig targets
are constructed by using merge_config.sh.
One workaround is to have the copy of the .config. The filechk rule
updates the copy, kernel/config_data, by checking the content instead
of the timestamp.
With this commit, the second run with the same configuration avoids
the needless rebuilds.

timeconst.h and hz.bc used to exist in kernel/.
Commit 5cee96459726 ("time/timers: Move all time(r) related files into
kernel/time") moved them to kernel/time/.
Commit 0a227985d4a9 ("time: Move timeconst.h into include/generated")
moved timeconst.h to include/generated/ and removed hz.bc .

Some .gitignore files have comments like "Generated files",
"Ignore generated files" at the header part, but they are
too obvious.

Introduce in-kernel headers which are made available as an archive
through proc (/proc/kheaders.tar.xz file). This archive makes it
possible to run eBPF and other tracing programs that need to extend the
kernel for tracing purposes without any dependency on the file system
having headers.
A github PR is sent for the corresponding BCC patch at:
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/2312
On Android and embedded systems, it is common to switch kernels but not
have kernel headers available on the file system. Further once a
different kernel is booted, any headers stored on the file system will
no longer be useful. This is an issue even well known to distros.
By storing the headers as a compressed archive within the kernel, we can
avoid these issues that have been a hindrance for a long time.
The best way to use this feature is by building it in. Several users
have a need for this, when they switch debug kernels, they do not want to
update the filesystem or worry about it where to store the headers on
it. However, the feature is also buildable as a module in case the user
desires it not being part of the kernel image. This makes it possible to
load and unload the headers from memory on demand. A tracing program can
load the module, do its operations, and then unload the module to save
kernel memory. The total memory needed is 3.3MB.
By having the archive available at a fixed location independent of
filesystem dependencies and conventions, all debugging tools can
directly refer to the fixed location for the archive, without concerning
with where the headers on a typical filesystem which significantly
simplifies tooling that needs kernel headers.
The code to read the headers is based on /proc/config.gz code and uses
the same technique to embed the headers.
Other approaches were discussed such as having an in-memory mountable
filesystem, but that has drawbacks such as requiring an in-kernel xz
decompressor which we don't have today, and requiring usage of 42 MB of
kernel memory to host the decompressed headers at anytime. Also this
approach is simpler than such approaches.

This slightly optimizes the kernel/configs.c build.
bin2c is not very efficient because it converts a data file into a huge
array to embed it into a *.c file.
Instead, we can use the .incbin directive.
Also, this simplifies the code; Makefile is cleaner, and the way to get
the offset/size of the config_data.gz is more straightforward.
I used the "asm" statement in *.c instead of splitting it into *.S
because MODULE_* tags are not supported in *.S files.
I also cleaned up kernel/.gitignore; "config_data.gz" is unneeded
because the top-level .gitignore takes care of the "*.gz" pattern.

Currently we see this in "git status" if we build in the source dir:
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
certs/x509_certificate_list
It looks like it used to live in kernel/ so we squash that .gitignore
entry at the same time. I didn't bother to dig through git history to
see when it moved, since it is just a minor annoyance at most.
