kbuild: Add top-level target for building gen_init_cpio

Add a top-level target for building gen_init_cpio to prevent re-entering
kbuild for 'modules-cpio-pkg'.

The recently introduced target 'modules-cpio-pkg' depends on
gen_init_cpio but there is no simple way to add this dependency as a
prerequisite that can be built in parallel to other recipes.

Introducing the top-level target, enables fixing this and also prepares
a possible move of gen_init_cpio from usr/ to scripts/.

kbuild: rpm-pkg: disable kernel-devel package when cross-compiling

Since commit f1d87664b82a ("kbuild: cross-compile linux-headers package
when possible"), 'make binrpm-pkg' may attempt to cross-compile the
kernel-devel package, but it fails under certain circumstances.

For example, when CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORMAT is enabled on openSUSE
Tumbleweed, the following command fails:

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-suse-linux- binrpm-pkg

compilation terminated.

I believe this issue is less common on Fedora because the disto's cross-
compilier cannot link user-space programs. Hence, CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK is
unset.

On Fedora 40, the package information explains this limitation clearly:

$ dnf info gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
[ snip ]
Description : Cross-build GNU C compiler.
:
: Only building kernels is currently supported. Support for cross-building
: user space programs is not currently provided as that would massively multiply
: the number of packages.

Anyway, cross-compiling RPM packages is somewhat challenging.

This commit disables the kernel-devel package when cross-compiling
because I did not come up with a better solution.

kbuild: deb-pkg: support DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=N in debian/rules

'make srcdeb-pkg' generates a source package, which you can build
later by using dpkg-buildpackage.

In older dpkg versions, 'dpkg-buildpackage --jobs=N' sets not only
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS but also MAKEFLAGS. Hence, passing -j or --jobs
to dpkg-buildpackage was enough for kicking the parallel execution.

The behavior was changed by commit 1d0ea9b2ba3f ("dpkg-buildpackage:
Change -j, --jobs semantics to non-force mode") of dpkg project. [1]

Since then, 'dpkg-buildpackage --jobs=N' sets only DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS,
which is not parsed by the current debian/rules. To build the package
in parallel, you need to pass the alternative --jobs-force option or
set the MAKEFLAGS environment variable.

Debian policy [2] suggests the following code snippet for debian/rules.

ifneq (,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
NUMJOBS = $(patsubst parallel=%,%,$(filter parallel=%,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
MAKEFLAGS += -j$(NUMJOBS)
endif

I tweaked the code to filter out parallel=1 and passed --jobs=1 to
dpkg-buildpackage from scripts/Makefile.package. It is needed to force
'make deb-pkg' without the -j option to run in serial. Please note that
dpkg-buildpackage sets parallel=<nproc> in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS by default
(that is, --jobs=auto is the default) and --jobs=1 is needed to restore
the serial execution. When dpkg-buildpackage is invoked from Kbuild,
the number of jobs is inherited from the top level Makefile. Passing
--jobs=1 to dpkg-buildpackage allows debian/rules to skip parsing
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

kbuild: deb-pkg: use Debian compliant shebang for debian/rules

Debian Policy "4.9. Main building script: debian/rules" requires
"debian/rules must start with the line #!/usr/bin/make -f". [1]

Currently, Kbuild does not follow this policy.

When Kbuild generates debian/rules, "#!$(command -v $MAKE) -f" is
expanded by shell. The resuling string may not be "#!/usr/bin/make -f".

There was a reason to opt out the Debian policy.

If you run '/path/to/my/custom/make deb-pkg', debian/rules must also be
invoked by the same Make program. If #!/usr/bin/make were hard-coded in
debian/rules, the sub-make would be executed by a possibly different
Make version.

This is problematic due to the MAKEFLAGS incompatibility, especially the
job server flag. Old Make versions used --jobserver-fds to propagate job
server file descriptors, but Make >= 4.2 uses --jobserver-auth. The flag
disagreement between the parent/child Makes would result in a process
fork explosion.

However, having a non-standard path in the shebang causes another issue;
the generated source package is not portable as such a path does not
exist in other build environments.

This commit solves those conflicting demands.

Hard-code '#!/usr/bin/make -f' in debian/rules to create a portable and
Debian-compliant source package.

Pass '--rules-file=$(MAKE) -f debian/rules' when dpkg-buildpackage is
invoked from Makefile so that debian/rules is executed by the same Make
program as used to start Kbuild.

kbuild: rpm-pkg: skip build dependency check on non-rpm systems

Commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable
using koji") added the BuildRequires: field.

Checking the build dependency is fine, but one annoyance is that
'make (bin)rpm-pkg' fails on non-rpm systems [1]. For example, Debian
provides rpmbuild via 'apt install rpm', but of course cannot meet the
requirement listed in the BuildRequires: field.

It is possible to pass RPMOPTS=--nodeps to work around it, but it is
reasonable to do it automatically.

If 'rpm -q rpm' fails, it is not an RPM-managed system. (The command
'rpm' is not installed at all, or was installed by other means.)

In that case, pass --nodeps to skip the build dependency check.

kbuild: add a phony target to run a command with Kbuild env vars

There are some cases where we want to run a command with the same
environment variables as Kbuild uses. For example, 'make coccicheck'
invokes scripts/coccicheck from the top Makefile so that the script can
reference to ${LINUXINCLUDE}, ${KBUILD_EXTMOD}, etc. The top Makefile
defines several phony targets that run a script.

We do it also for an internally used script, which results in a somewhat
complex call graph.

One example:

debian/rules binary-arch
-> make intdeb-pkg
-> scripts/package/builddeb

It is also tedious to add a dedicated target like 'intdeb-pkg' for each
use case.

Add a generic target 'run-command' to run an arbitrary command in an
environment with all Kbuild variables set.

The usage is:

$ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND=<command>

The concept is similar to:

$ dpkg-architecture -c <command>

This executes <command> in an environment which has all DEB_* variables
defined.

Convert the existing 'make intdeb-pkg'.

Another possible usage is to interrogate a Make variable.

$ make run-command KBUILD_RUN_COMMAND='echo $(KBUILD_CFLAGS)'

might be useful to see KBUILD_CFLAGS set by the top Makefile.
