    tomoyo: Omit use of bin2c · 80f8be7a
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    bin2c was, as its name implies, introduced to convert a binary file to
    C code.
    
    However, I did not see any good reason ever for using this tool because
    using the .incbin directive is much faster, and often results in simpler
    code.
    
    Most of the uses of bin2c have been killed, for example:
    
      - 13610aa9 ("kernel/configs: use .incbin directive to embed config_data.gz")
      - 4c0f032d ("s390/purgatory: Omit use of bin2c")
    
    security/tomoyo/Makefile has even less reason for using bin2c because
    the policy files are text data. So, sed is enough for converting them
    to C string literals, and what is nicer, generates human-readable
    builtin-policy.h.
    
    This is the last user of bin2c. After this commit lands, bin2c will be
    removed.
