    locking/atomics: Check atomic headers with sha1sum · 0cf264b3
    Mark Rutland authored
    We currently check the atomic headers at build-time to ensure they
    haven't been modified directly, and these checks require regenerating
    the headers in full. As this takes a few seconds, even when
    parallelized, this is too slow to run for every kernel build.
    
    Instead, we can generate a hash of each header as we generate them,
    which we can cheaply check at build time (~0.16s for all headers).
    
    This patch does so, updating headers with their hashes using the new
    gen-atomics.sh script. As some users apparently build the kernel wihout
    coreutils, lacking sha1sum, the checks are skipped in this case.
    Presumably, most developers have a working coreutils installation.
