header install make rules

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.
This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.
For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.
It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.
This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16
unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame

... instead of using a CONFIG option. The config option still controls
if the resulting executable actually has unwind information.
This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use
CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

As a follow-up to the introduction of CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO, this
separates the generation of frame unwind information for x86-64 from
that of full debug information.

Frame unwind information was still incorrect for ia32_ptregs_common
(sorry, my fault), and could be improved for some of the other entry
points.

Being the foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this fixes CFI unwind
annotations in many low-level x86_64 routines, plus a config option
(available to all architectures, and also present in the previously sent
patch adding such annotations to i386 code) to enable them separatly
rather than only along with adding full debug information.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
