[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] call check-atomics.sh only if prerequisites change

From: Vincent Mailhol

Currently, check-atomics.sh is executed unconditionally despite the
fact that most developers do not need this to execute this check on
each iterative make instance.

This series first make check-atomics.sh raise an error instead of a
warning when CONFIG_WERROR is set. The second and last patch modifies
Kbuild so that the script is only called when dependencies are
changed.


* Changelog *

v1 -> v2

* drop the changes on checksyscalls.sh. v1 assumed that
checksyscalls.sh would only be called from ./Kbuild. It appears
that there is another user: arch/mips/Makefile c.f. kernel test
robot's report:
https://lore.kernel.org/llvm/202205030015.JCmg5yPS-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

* add a patch to the to make Kbuild stop if check-atomics fails and
if CONFIG_WERROR is set.
