[ Upstream commit 630af16eee495f583db5202c3613d1b191f10694 ]
This fixes the issue where the build will fail if only the Python2
runtime is installed but the Python3 devtools are installed. Currently
the workaround is 'make PYTHON=python3'.
Fix it by autodetecting Python based on whether python[x]-config exists
rather than just python[x] because both are needed for the build. Then
-config is stripped to find the Python runtime.
Testing
=======
* Auto detect links with Python3 when the v3 devtools are installed
and only Python 2 runtime is installed
* Auto detect links with Python2 when both devtools are installed
* Sensible warning is printed if no Python devtools are installed
* 'make PYTHON=x' still automatically sets PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config
* 'make PYTHON=x' fails if x-config doesn't exist
* 'make PYTHON=python3' overrides Python2 devtools
* 'make PYTHON=python2' overrides Python3 devtools
* 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=x-config' works
* 'make PYTHON=x PYTHON_CONFIG=x' works
* 'make PYTHON=missing' reports an error
* 'make PYTHON_CONFIG=missing' reports an error

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
