  gcc-plugins: Add support for plugin subdirectories (2016-08-08 17:53:05 -0700)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Several fixes/improvements for the gcc plugin infrastructure:
- Fixes a problem with gcc plugins interfering with cc-option tests.
- Aborts more gracefully when gcc plugin headers or compiler support is
  missing.
- Improves the gcc plugin rule generation to be more dynamic, pass arguments,
  and build from subdirectories.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Emese Revfy (4):
      kbuild: no gcc-plugins during cc-option tests
      gcc-plugins: Add support for passing plugin arguments
      gcc-plugins: Automate make rule generation
      gcc-plugins: Add support for plugin subdirectories
