This commit makes *.symversions completely unneeded.
I will keep *.symversions in .gitignore and 'make clean' for a while.
Otherwise, 'git status' might be surprising.

This switch statement does not list out all the cases. Since the
'default' covers all the rest, the 'DOTS' case is unneeded.

export.h, genksyms: do not make genksyms calculate CRC of trimmed symbols
Arnd Bergmann reported false-positive modpost warnings detected by his
randconfig testing of linux-next.
Actually, this happens under the combination of CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
and CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS since commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost:
check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions").
For example, arch/arm/config/multi_v7_defconfig + CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
+ CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS produces the following false-positives:
WARNING: "__lshrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashrdi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_lasr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsr" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "ftrace_set_clr_event" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__muldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_ulcmp" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ucmpdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_lmul" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__bswapsi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__bswapdi2" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__ashldi3" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
WARNING: "__aeabi_llsl" [vmlinux] is a static (unknown)
The root cause of the problem is not in the modpost, but in the
implementation of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS.
If there is at least one untrimmed symbol in the file, genksyms is
invoked to calculate CRC of *all* the exported symbols in that file
even if some of them have been trimmed due to no caller existing.
As a result, .tmp_*.ver files contain CRC of trimmed symbols, thus
unneeded, orphan __crc* symbols are added to objects. It had been
harmless until recently.
With commit 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL*
functions"), it is now harmful because the bogus __crc* symbols make
modpost call sym_update_crc() to add the symbols to the hash table,
but there is no one that clears the ->is_static member.
I gave Fixes to the first commit that uncovered the issue, but the
potential problem has long existed since commit f235541699bc
("export.h: allow for per-symbol configurable EXPORT_SYMBOL()").
Fixes: 15bfc2348d54 ("modpost: check for static EXPORT_SYMBOL* functions")

The
kbuild: add %.lex.c and %.tab.[ch] to 'targets' automatically
Files generated by if_changed* must be added to 'targets' to include
*.cmd files. Otherwise, they would be regenerated every time.
The build system automatically adds objects to 'targets' where
appropriate, such as obj-y, extra-y, etc. but does nothing for
intermediate files. So, each Makefile needs to add them by itself.
There are some common cases where objects are generated by chained
rules. Lexers and parsers are compiled like follows:
%.lex.o <- %.lex.c <- %.l
%.tab.o <- %.tab.c <- %.y
They are common patterns, so it is reasonable to take care of them
in the core Makefile instead of requiring each Makefile to do so.
At this moment, you cannot delete 'target += zconf.lex.c' in the
Kconfig Makefile because zconf.lex.c is included from zconf.tab.c
instead of being compiled separately. It should be deleted after
Kconfig is more refactored.

genksyms: generate lexer and parser during build instead of shipping
Now that the kernel build supports flex and bison, remove the _shipped
files and generate them during the build instead.
There are no more shipped lexer and parser, so I ripped off the rules
in scripts/Malefile.lib that were used for REGENERATE_PARSERS.
The genksyms parser has ambiguous grammar, which would emit warnings:
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: warning: 9 shift/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-sr]
scripts/genksyms/parse.y: warning: 5 reduce/reduce conflicts [-Wconflicts-rr]
They are normally suppressed, but displayed when W=1 is given.

Some of the final host programs those lexer/parser are linked into
are necessary for building external modules, but the intermediates
are unneeded. They can be cleaned away by 'make clean' instead of
'make mrproper'.
