| * kconfig: Introduce IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN() and IS_MODULE()Michal Marek2011-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the config_is_*() macros with a variant that allows for grepping for usage of CONFIG_* options in the code. Usage: if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA)) or #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA) The IS_ENABLED() macro evaluates to 1 if the argument is set (to either 'y' or 'm'), IS_BUILTIN() tests if the option is 'y' and IS_MODULE() test if the option is 'm'. Only boolean and tristate options are supported. Reviewed-by: Arnaud Lacombe <lacombar@gmail.com> Acked-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file where previously there was just a foo_32.c file. The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx, using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile. Changes to existing files: - <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header. - <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve. It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const. - <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now they have the proper 64-bit contents. Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.

To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide some basic support in kbuild for this. With the following patch an architecture can maintain a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild To use a generic file just add: generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h> For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm. When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created. The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32 patchset - although a different method is used. The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann. Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

Divide the warning options in three groups: W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignored When building the whole kernel, those levels produce: W=1 - 4859 warnings W=2 - 1394 warnings W=3 - 86666 warnings respectively. Warnings have been counted with Geert's script at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-log/linux-log-summary.pl Many warnings occur from .h files so fixing one file may have a nice effect on the total number of warnings. With these changes I am actually tempted to try W=1 now and then. Previously there was just too much noise. Borislav: - make the W= levels exclusive - move very noisy and making little sense for the kernel warnings to W=3 - drop -Woverlength-strings due to useless warning message - copy explanatory text for the different warning levels to 'make help' - recount warnings per level Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

This option is then used by 'make' to determine whether an extra kallsyms pass is needed or not. However, this approach is not nice and confusing, and this patch moves CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS from Kconfig to Makefile instead. The rationale is below. 1. CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is really about the build time, not run-time. There is no real need for it to be in Kconfig. It is just an additional work-around which should be used only in rare cases, when someone breaks kallsyms, so Kbuild/Makefile is much better place for this option. 2. Grepping CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS shows that many defconfigs have it enabled, probably not because they try to work-around a kallsyms bug, but just because the Kconfig help text is confusing and does not really make it clear that this option should not be used unless except when kallsyms is broken. 3. And since many people have CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS enabled in their Kconfig, we do might fail to notice kallsyms bugs in time. E.g., many testers use "make allyesconfig" to test builds, which will enable CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS and kallsyms breakage will not be noticed. To address that, this patch: 1. Kills CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS 2. Changes Makefile so that people can use "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" to enable the extra pass if needed. Additionally, they may define KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS as an environment variable. 3. By default KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is disabled and if kallsyms has issues, "make" should print a warning and suggest using KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com> [mmarek: Removed make help text, is not necessary] Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

| * | | | kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount callersSteven Rostedt2011-05-16
| | |_|/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just waste execution time.
