Buildroot documentation section 9.2.1.6 "Additional kernel extensions"
indicates support for kernel extensions defined in external buildroot
trees but unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any support in
br2-external script.
This patch copies 'init' code support to include external kernel
extensions defined in 'linux' dir at the br2-external root directory as
explained in documentation.

gcc-12 is starting to trickle down to some distros, like Archlinux.
gcc-12 has new warnings, and detects more cases of issues, like new
UAF cases, which is causing build issues in code that was previously
building fine, as reported in #14826:
In file included from sigchain.c:3:
In function 'xrealloc',
inlined from 'sigchain_push.isra' at sigchain.c:26:2:
subcmd-util.h:56:23: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
56 | ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);

subcmd-util.h:58:31: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]

In that case, the kernel has already fixed their code, which is part of
5.17:

However, we can't easily carry that patch, because we don't know
whether the kernel the user uses already has the fix or not.
Instead, we can just tell the kernel to disable use of -Werror when
building host tools.
As a consequence, we can drop it from the perf-specific setting.
Fixes: #14826

The default defconfig target for the 64 bit powerpc kernel is
ppc64_defconfig, the big endian configuration.
When building for powerpc64le users want the little endian kernel as
they can't boot LE userspace on a BE kernel.
Fix up the defconfig used in this case. This will avoid the following
autobuilder failure:
VDSO32A arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/sigtramp.o
cc1: error: ‘-m32’ not supported in this configuratioin
make[4]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/Makefile:49: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/sigtramp.o] Error 1
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/dd76d53bab56470c0b83e296872d7bb90f9e8296/
Note that the failure indicates the toolchain is configured to disable
the 32 bit target, causing the kernel to fail when building the 32 bit
VDSO. This is only a problem on the BE kernel as the LE kernel disables
CONFIG_COMPAT, aka 32 bit userspace support, by default.

Some older versions of linux, or custom versions (like forks for some
boards), fail to build with host-gcc 10+, because of redefined symbols:
HOSTLD scripts/dtc/dtc
/usr/bin/ld: scripts/dtc/dtc-parser.tab.o:(.bss+0x10): multiple definition
of `yylloc'; scripts/dtc/dtc-lexer.lex.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Since this has been fixed in recent-ish versions, we can't use an
unconditionaly patch, so we must have a conditional patch. However, a
patch may not always apply to arbitrary Linux versions or forks.
Upstream just dropped that line altogether:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e33a814e772cdc36436c8c188d8c42d019fda639
So, we use a little sed-grep combo to do the exact same change.

To support building in the wireless regulatory database files (regulatory.db*)
into the kernel using the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option, we need to ensure that
the database files are installed before the Linux kernel is built.
The dependency is harmless if CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE isn't actually set.

Buildroot uses variable LINUX_ARCH_PATH to refer to the arch-specific
directory in the Linux tree, which may not necessarily be arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH).
Buildroot already accounts for the case of KERNEL_ARCH=i386 and
KERNEL_ARCH=x86_64, but does not for KERNEL_ARCH=sparc64, in which case the
correct directory is arch/sparc.

As Thomas put it:
The <pkg>_HELP_CMDS variable allows packages using the
kconfig-package infrastructure to display their specific
targets related to the handling of their configuration.
However, it was not consistently used and handled by the
different packages.
So, this commit switches all the kconfig-based package to use the
generic help helper.
As a consequence:
- all kconfig packages now advetise their kconfig-related actions,
where some were previously missing: at91bootstrap3, linux-backports,
swupdate, xvisor;
- busybox advertises it does not support defconfig files;
- the 'foo-savedfconfig' action is no longer advertised: it is to be
considered an internal implementation detail.
