This patch is more of a personal preference, rather than a fix for a problem.
The current implementation used a combination of both 'cat' and 'sed'
to generate an unsorted list of kernel modules separated by while space.

Commit 3716001bcb ("deb-pkg: add source package") added the ability to
create a debian changelog file. This exposed that previously the
builddeb script hasn't cleared debian/files between builds.
As debian/files keeps accumulating entries, the changes file will end up
growing indefinelty. With outdated entries in debian/files, builddeb
script will exit with failure. This regression impacts those who use
"make deb-pkg" target to build kernel into a .deb package and never use
"make mrproper" or other means to clean kernel tree from generated
directories.
To fix the regression, remove debian/files before starting build and in
the generated clean rule.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer
(see Documentation/kasan.txt).
1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no
big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were
stolen from vmalloc area.
At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just
one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused
as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently
don't track (vmalloc).
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are
allocated and mapped.
Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important
to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since
these functions are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions
in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.
Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c).
Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants
to disable memory access checks for such files.

The sign-file.c program actually uses CMS rather than PKCS#7 to sign a file
since that allows the target X.509 certificate to be specified by
subjectKeyId rather than by issuer + serialNumber.
However, older versions of the OpenSSL crypto library (such as may be found
in CentOS 5.11) don't support CMS. Assume everything prior to
OpenSSL-1.0.0 doesn't support CMS and switch to using PKCS#7 in that case.
Further, the pre-1.0.0 OpenSSL only supports PKCS#7 signing with SHA1, so
give an error from the sign-file script if the caller requests anything
other than SHA1.
The compiler gives the following error with an OpenSSL crypto library
that's too old:

Some really long declaration macros exist.
For instance;
DEFINE_DMA_BUF_EXPORT_INFO(exp_info);
and
DECLARE_DM_KCOPYD_THROTTLE_WITH_MODULE_PARM(name, description)
Increase the limit from 2 words to 6 after DECLARE/DEFINE uses.

Many lines exist like
if (foo)
bar;
where the tabbed indentation of the branch is not one more than the "if"
line above it.
checkpatch should emit a warning on those lines.
Miscellenea:
o Remove comments from branch blocks
o Skip blank lines in block

Using BUG/BUG_ON crashes the kernel and is just unfriendly.
Enable code that emits a warning on BUG/BUG_ON use.
Make the code emit the message at WARNING level when scanning a patch and
at CHECK level when scanning files so that script users don't feel an
obligation to fix code that might be above their pay grade.
