* kbuild: fixup genksyms usage/getoptMike Frysinger2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | The usage does not mention the "-a,--arch" or "-T,--dump-types" options, so add them. The calls to getopt() seem to mention options that no longer exist (some "k" and "p" thingy) but omits the "h" option which means using '-h' actually triggers the error code path, so update those as well.

* kconfig: use getopt() in conf.c for handling command line argumentsAndres Salomon2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switch from doing our own parsing of command line arguments to using getopt(3) to do it. Aside from simplifying things, this allows us to specify multiple arguments; the old code could only accept two arguments (input_mode and kconfig name). Note some subtle changes: - The argument '-?' is no longer supported. - '-h' is not treated as an error, so output goes to stdout, and we exit with '0'. - There is no compatibility checking amongst arguments; the last option will simply override earlier options. For example, 'conf -n -y foo' is perfectly valid now (input_mode will be set_yes). Previously, that would have been an error ("can't find file -y").

* kbuild: implement modules.orderTejun Heo2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order listed in Makefile. This implicit ordering is lost for loadable modules. When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in modules.alias file is selected. However, the order in this file is indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed modules). This causes confusion. The solution is two-parted. This patch updates kbuild such that it generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of modules ordered according to Makefile. The second part is update to depmod such that it generates output files according to this file. Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and ordering information between those two are lost from beginning. Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs. Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate C program.

* fix bloat-o-meter for ppc64Nathan Lynch2007-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bloat-o-meter assumes that a '.' anywhere in a symbol's name means that it is static and prepends 'static.' to the first part of the symbol name, discarding the portion of the name that follows the '.'. However, the names of function entry points begin with '.' in the ppc64 ABI. This causes all function text size changes to be accounted to a single 'static.' entry in the output when comparing ppc64 kernels. Change getsizes() to ignore the first character of the symbol name when searching for '.'.

* x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.configSam Ravnborg2007-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in all.config. For a fix the diffstat is nice: 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) The patch reverts these commits: - 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable") - 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets") Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were not needed. With this patch we have following behaviour: # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...] option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit ===================================================== ./. | 32bit | 64bit ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes precedence over the configuration. So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the other way around. This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no suprises here. make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file: "That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's worked that way for several years now ... so the issue seems to be changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics. The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ... the controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage. It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically." Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

| * | kbuild: modpost problem when symbols move from one module to anotherTrent Piepho2007-10-18
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When part of build an external module tree, modpost first reads in the kernel's and then the external tree's Module.symvers files. From these files it establishes a symbol => module mapping. When it later reads in each module built and processes the symbols it finds, it discovers the symbol=>module mapping from Module.symvers and leaves it as it is. The problem comes with a module has been re-named or a symbol has moved from one module to another, since the Module.symvers file was generated. modpost does not update the symbol=>module mapping when it finds the new location of the symbol when scanning the newly built modules. This results in the module containing incorrect dependency information and the new Module.symvers file written by modpost will also contain the incorrect mappings, perpetuating the problem to the next build, and so on. When building the out of kernel development tree for kernel subsystem, like v4l-dvb or ALSA, deleting the external Module.symvers file before building (which the kernel build system doesn't do and shouldn't be necessary anyway), won't fix the problem. modpost still reads the kernel's Module.symvers, and since we a building a kernel subsystem, it will define the same symbols as the external modules.

Of note: - new tree detection, the source tree will be found via the executable - a major revamp of the unary detection to make it more parser like - a new summary at the bottom of the report - --strict option for subjective checks - --file to enable checking on complete files - support for use in emacs "compile" window Andy Whitcroft (27): Version: 0.11 fix up cat_vet for the case where there are no control characters any cast to a pointer introduces a type cpp unary operator detection needs to float attributes are also valid in type definitions sizeof may be a bareword and makes its argument unary unary checks for #ifdef et al need to find end of line add new --file mode to handle raw source files add --strict/--subjective which enables the subjective tests add some additional standard type suffixes cpp #elif is also a unary prefix case is not a function name widen asm volatile exceptions __kprobes is a type attribute typeof is a unary operator function open parenthesis checks should check all occurances expand sizeof() binary exceptions linux/irq.h should not be recommended work harder to find the kernel root and add --root= fix --emacs mode line numbers and string concatenation warnings add a summary to the bottom of the main report loosen assignment in if checks update operator spacing to maintain tabs in output revamp unary detection corruption/line wrapped patches need only reporting once revamp s/u/be/le 8/16/32/64 bit types handle missing ,1 in uni-diff header Mike D.

* kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and htmlRandy Dunlap2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in html output format when they are inside a DOC: block. DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc comments were. Fixed that. However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed thru xml_escape(), converting it to &lt;p&gt;, which isn't good for the generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters ('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the stream to its output file. Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any output mode (text, man, html, xml). Also update copyright to include me.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug fixes. Of note: - better categorisation and space checks for dual use unary/binary operators - warn on deprecated use of {SPIN,RW}_LOCK_UNLOCKED - check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements - detect DOS line endings - detect redundant casts for kalloc() Andy Whitcroft (18): Version: 0.10 asmlinkage is also a storage type pull out inline specifiers allow only some operators before a unary operator parenthesised values may span line ends add additional attribute matching handle sparse annotations within pointer type space checks support alternative function definition syntax for typedefs check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements fix output format for case checks deprecate SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED and RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED allow complex macros with bracketing braces detect and report DOS line endings fastcall is a valid function attribute bracket spacing is ok for 'for' categorise operators into unary/binary/definitions add heuristic to pick up on unannotated types remove spurious warnings from cat_vet Dave Jones (1): Make checkpatch warn about pointless casting of kalloc returns.

| * kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-ySam Ravnborg2007-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS. This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round. Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the soon to be deprecated variants next. The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for makefile fragments like: ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG As a replacement for the uglier: ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y) EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG endif Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variable CPPFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. This patch replace use of CPPFLAGS with KBUILD_CPPFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CPPFLAGS=... to specify additional CPP commandline options. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variable AFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of AFLAGS with KBUILD_AFLAGS all over the tree.

| * kbuild: check for wrong use of CFLAGSSam Ravnborg2007-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | External modules have in a few cases modifed gcc option by modifying CFLAGS. This has never been documented and was a bad practice. With the check to use KBUILD_CFLAGS it will no longer work so we better error out and tell what was wrong as a service to the external module users. This check can be overruled if KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC is set to something. Addid this possibility may allow older external module to build without any code modifications but potentially only loosing some un-important gcc options.
