init: add "hostname" kernel parameter
The gethostname system call returns the hostname for the current machine.
However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current
machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace
process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies
on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before
gethostname can produce a meaningful name.
Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init
system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file
(say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call
to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname
usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may,
however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before
the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will
get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as
"(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar").
A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable
results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes
between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that
properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that
is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly
belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or
foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the
current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted,
perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array,
then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet
have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of
the local arrays are foreign.
Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be
left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within
an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called
before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname.
However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call
gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it
could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init
system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in
some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot.
Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted
to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This
makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users.
I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the
hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init
system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via
a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem.
It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once
Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary
directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.
We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the
timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal
since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is
temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise,
vmlinux would be rebuilt every time.
When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the
version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that
time to really fix UTS_VERSION.
However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty
timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a
are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not
need rebuilding.
To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows:
[1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from
include/generated/compile.h
include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the
vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because
some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION.
[2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c
from init/version.c
init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary
directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to
determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link,
they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and
timestamp.
