It's final, modulo a few typos I spotted. I took the opportunity to
fix those and send with a PATCH prefix.

===

The current checkstack.pl script has a few problems, stemming from the
overly simplistic attempt at parsing objdump output with regular
expressions. Since gcc 4.6 introduced the -fstack-usage option, we can
now get the exact stack use instead of resorting to ad hoc methods.

This introduces two small scripts. One for running make with KCFLAGS
set to -fstack-usage, followed by collecting the generated .su files
in a single output file. Another for taking two such output files and
computing the changes in stack use.

2/4 and 3/4 may be too small by themselves; they can easily be
squashed into 1/4.

v2: Use KCFLAGS instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS. A few more details in commit
messages. Simpler option handling in stackusage. Removed accidental
leftover debug prints.

v3: Fix a few typos.

Rasmus Villemoes (4):
  scripts: add stackusage script
  .gitignore: add *.su pattern
  kbuild: remove *.su files generated by -fstack-usage
  scripts: add stackdelta script
