This new version introduced a usage of memfd_create() in [1]. This
function was introduced in Kernel 3.17. Therefore, this commit adds
this new dependency. This direct use of memfd_create() requires a
glibc >= 2.27. As is, this version would no longer work with uclibc-ng
or musl libc. This commit also adds a patch to allow compilation with
glibc < 2.27, and also uclibc and musl. See the patch commit log for
more details.

In 2.0.16 we now have uncompressed kernel size available
for ARM starting v4.14 and later kernels.
Let's also remove the extra space after the checksum while at it.

The check-package script when ran gives warnings on text wrapping
on all of these Config files. This patch cleans up all warnings
related to the text wrapping for the Config files starting with
the letter k in the package directory.
The appropriate indentation is: <tab><2 spaces><62 chars>
See http://nightly.buildroot.org/#writing-rules-config-in for more

Curently, we have a choice to select between stripping and not
stripping. This is legacy code from back when we had a third option,
sstrip (super-strip).
Since we removed sstrip, stripping or not stripping is now just a
boolean rather than a choice.
Make it so.
We make BR2_STRIP_strip default to 'y' to keep the current behaviour of
defaulting to stripping.
Move BR2_STIP_none to legacy, and instruct the user to review the new
setting.
Drop any reference to BR2_STRIP_none in comments.

We want to use SPDX identifier for license strings as much as possible.
SPDX short identifier for GPLv2/GPLv2+ is GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+.
This change is done by using following command.

When BR2_STRIP is set to none, a dummy 'true' app is used instead of
strip utility. However, kexec package always requires a real strip
executable as it is used to generate intermediate files during the build
process.
If 'true' is used the build system runs the following command:
true --strip-debug -o purgatory/purgatory.ro purgatory/purgatory.ro.sym
which obviously doesn't do anything useful and the build later fails
with:
bin/bin-to-hex purgatory < purgatory/purgatory.ro > kexec/purgatory.c
/bin/sh: purgatory/purgatory.ro: No such file or directory
kexec/Makefile:7: recipe for target 'kexec/purgatory.c' failed
make[2]: *** [kexec/purgatory.c] Error 1
To resolve it always specify STRIP=$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip, regardless of
buildroot configuration.

When xz was compiled before, kexec will use it as optional dependency:
$ output/host/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-readelf -a output/target/usr/sbin/kdump | grep NEEDED

The version bump to 2.0.11 is needed to fix a configure script issue:
line 4712: ac_fn_c_try_link: command not found
This issue was fixed by upstream commit
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/kexec/kexec-tools.git/commit/configure.ac?id=58bbd468571b3e80585e5d68e97c8d67c8ed583b,
which was merged after 2.0.9 was released.
