* [ARM] 5421/1: ftrace: fix crash due to tracing of __naked functionsUwe Kleine-König2009-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a fix for the following crash observed in 2.6.29-rc3: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/29/150 On ARM it doesn't make sense to trace a naked function because then mcount is called without stack and frame pointer being set up and there is no chance to restore the lr register to the value before mcount was called.

* Sanitize gcc version header includesLinus Torvalds2009-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions) - don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets released). That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!) - generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than having a mess of #if conditionals.

* inlining: do not allow gcc below version 4 to optimize inliningIngo Molnar2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | fix the condition to match intention: always use the old inlining behavior on all gcc versions below 4. this should solve the UML build problem. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* x86: add optimized inliningIngo Molnar2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y. allow gcc to optimize the kernel image's size by uninlining functions that have been marked 'inline'. Previously gcc was forced by Linux to always-inline these functions via a gcc attribute: #define inline inline __attribute__((always_inline)) Especially when the user has already selected CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y this can make a huge difference in kernel image size (using a standard Fedora .config): text data bss dec hex filename 5613924 562708 3854336 10030968 990f78 vmlinux.before 5486689 562708 3854336 9903733 971e75 vmlinux.after that's a 2.3% text size reduction (!).

* compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unusedDavid Rientjes2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they are referenced only in inline assembly. It is defined to be __attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still emitted for such functions. __maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation of preprocessor macros. Function prototypes shall be marked with __maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on preprocessor macros. No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both __attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc manual. __attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current code is converted to using __used.

* ARRAY_SIZE: check for typeRusty Russell2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We can use a gcc extension to ensure that ARRAY_SIZE() is handed an array, not a pointer. This is especially important when code is changed from a fixed array to a pointer. I assume the Intel compiler doesn't support __builtin_types_compatible_p.

* [PATCH] extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macrosRobert P. J. Day2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the set of "__attribute__" shortcut macros, and remove identical (and now superfluous) definitions from a couple of source files. based on a page at robert love's blog: http://rlove.org/log/2005102601 extend the set of shortcut macros defined in compiler-gcc.h with the following: #define __packed __attribute__((packed)) #define __weak __attribute__((weak)) #define __naked __attribute__((naked)) #define __noreturn __attribute__((noreturn)) #define __pure __attribute__((pure)) #define __aligned(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) #define __printf(a,b) __attribute__((format(printf,a,b))) Once these are in place, it's up to subsystem maintainers to decide if they want to take advantage of them. there is already a strong precedent for using shortcuts like this in the source tree. The ones that might give people pause are "__aligned" and "__printf", but shortcuts for both of those are already in use, and in some ways very confusingly. note the two very different definitions for a macro named "ALIGNED": drivers/net/sgiseeq.c:#define ALIGNED(x) ((((unsigned long)(x)) + 0xf) & ~(0xf)) drivers/scsi/ultrastor.c:#define ALIGNED(x) __attribute__((aligned(x))) also: include/acpi/platform/acgcc.h: #define ACPI_PRINTF_LIKE(c) __attribute__ ((__format__ (__printf__, c, c+1))) Given the precedent, then, it seems logical to at least standardize on a consistent set of these macros.

* [PATCH] Work around ppc64 compiler bugAnton Blanchard2006-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the process of optimising our per cpu data code, I found a ppc64 compiler bug that has been around forever. Basically the current RELOC_HIDE can end up trashing r30. Details of the bug can be found at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25572 This bug is present in all compilers before 4.1. It is masked by the fact that our current per cpu data code is inefficient and causes other loads that end up marking r30 as used. A workaround identified by Alan Modra is to use the =r asm constraint instead of =g.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
