| * Makefile: Unexport LC_ALL instead of clearing itH. Peter Anvin2009-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently not all versions of glibc and utilities treat an empty LC_ALL as nonexistent, causing error messages to be garbled. Instead, explicitly unexport it from the environment. Reported-and-tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: H.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of common Unix constructs like character ranges in grep/sed/awk which don't work as expected with LC_COLLATE set to other than C. Similarly, set LC_CTYPE and LC_NUMERIC to C to avoid other nasty surprises. In order to make sure these actually take effect we also have to clear LC_ALL. Signed-off-by: H.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y' or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in obj-Y.

* | kbuild: search arch/$ARCH/include before include/Sam Ravnborg2009-12-12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The namespace used in arch/$ARCH/include is different from what is used in include/ except for the include/asm directory. This patch gives the arch/$ARCH/include/asm directory priority over include/asm. When we add asm-offsets.h to arch/$ARCH/include/asm/ this patch makes sure we pick up the arch specific version and not the one we have in include/asm. The situation with an asm-offsets.h file located in both include/asm _and_ arch/$ARCH/include/asm will happen when we move more files over to include/generated. This happens because in some cases it is not practical to rename all users so we simply add a file in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that includes the generated version. This is the solution we use for asm-offsets.h as an example. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

| * tracing: Only print objcopy version warning once from recordmcountSteven Rostedt2009-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the user has an older version of objcopy, that can not handle converting local symbols to global and vice versa, then some functions will not be part of the dynamic function tracer. The current code in recordmcount.pl will print a warning in this case. Unfortunately, there exists lots of files that may have this issue with older objcopys and this will cause a warning for every file compiled with this issue. This patch solves this overwhelming output by creating a .tmp_quiet_recordmcount file on the first instance the warning is encountered. The warning will not print if this file exists. The temp file is deleted at the beginning of the compile to ensure that the warning will happen once again on new compiles (because the issue is still present).

Despite being simple and straghtforward people uses very different approaches when building the kernel. . CROSS_COMPILE is sometimes used for ccache despite cache being only a CC frontend so one would have expected CC to be used for this purpose. . And obviously this was not tested widely enough.

* arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0Sam Ravnborg2009-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported: Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them. This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds. This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile, or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh) Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script. This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where it is used. Notes for the different architectures touched: arm - we use an already exported symbol cris - we use a config symbol aleady available [Not build tested] mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it. Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by the linker script. [Not build tested] powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed [not build tested] sparc - simplified it using $(BITS) um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this xtensa - added options to CPP invocation [not build tested] Cc: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: "David S.

* kbuild: save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernelSam Ravnborg2009-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building a kernel for a different architecture kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line. We use the asm symlink to detect if user forgets to specify the correct ARCH value - but that symlink is about to die. And we do now want to loose this check. This patch save the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE in two files named: include/generated/kernel.arch include/generated/kernel.cross The settings are saved during "make *config" time and always read. If user try to change the settings we error out. This works both for plain builds and for O=... builds. So now you can do: $ mkdir sparc64 $ make O=sparc64 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- defconfig $ cd sparc64 $ make Notice that you no longer need to tell kbuild the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE when you type make in the output directory.

* kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg2009-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

Such bugs can sometimes become exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672. static void __devexit agnx_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev) { struct ieee80211_hw *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev); - struct agnx_priv *priv = dev->priv; + struct agnx_priv *priv; AGNX_TRACE; if (!dev) return; + priv = dev->priv; By reverting this patch, and compile it with and without -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag, we can see that the check for dev is compiled away. call printk # - testq %r12, %r12 # dev - je .L94 #, movq %r12, %rdi # dev, Clearly the 'fix' is to stop using dev before it is tested, but building with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag at least makes it harder to abuse.

* | | Don't use '-fwrapv' compiler option: it's buggy in gcc-4.1.xLinus Torvalds2009-07-12

This fixes kernel bugzilla entry: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012 I suspect the gcc problem is this: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230 Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.
