* [PATCH] kallsyms: change compression algorithmPaulo Marques2005-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the way the compression algorithm works. The base algorithm is similiar to the previous but we force the compressed token size to 2. Having a fixed size compressed token allows for a lot of optimizations, and that in turn allows this code to run over *all* the symbols faster than it did before over just a subset. Having it work over all the symbols will make it behave better when symbols change positions between passes, and the "inconsistent kallsyms" messages should become less frequent. In my tests the compression ratio was degraded by about 0.5%, but the results will depend greatly on the number of symbols to compress.

| * [PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based ↵Ryan Anderson2005-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | upon the git commit If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

I've rebuilt scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c_shipped by hand to reflect changes in the source (I've not the same Bison version so regenerating it wouldn't have been not a good idea), and compared it with what Roman itself did some time ago, and it's the same.

This brought to my attention how the variables for directories have different values in different usage scenarios. Different kbuild usage scenarios: make - plain make in same directory where kernel source lives make O= - kbuild is told to store output files in another directory make M= - building an external module make O= M= - building an external module with kernel output seperate from src Value assigned to the different variables: |$(src) |$(obj) |$(srctree) |$(objtree) make |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src make O= |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to output dir make M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src make O= M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k output path to kbuild file: make | $(srctree)/$(src), $(src) make O= | $(srctree)/$(src) make M= | $(src) make O= M= | $(src) From the table above it can be seen that the only good way to find the home directory of the kbuild file is to locate the one of the two variants that is an absolute path. If $(src) is an absolute path (starts with /) then use it, otherwise prefix $(src) with $(srctree). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the config process in their own language. No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports, kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure the kernel are internationalized. Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG, LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english, something like: LANG= make menuconfig is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't install any translation file. Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of volunteers at: http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes To start the translation process: make update-po-config This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot, copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish. To test your translation, as root issue this command: msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po Replace "es" with your language code. Then execute, for instance: make menuconfig The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any kind of keying. Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese) translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on the first translation, to pt_BR.

* [PATCH] DocBook: changes and extensions to the kernel documentationPavel Pisa2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our university students again. The documentation could be extended for more sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0 time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well. So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are not too much skewed. I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some #ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc. You can see result of the modified documentation build at http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick cleanup work.

* [PATCH] kallsyms C_SYMBOL_PREFIX supportYoshinori Sato2005-05-01
| | | | | | | | kallsyms does not consider SYMBOL_PREFIX of C. Consequently it does not work on architectures using that prefix character (h8300, v850). Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] USB: scripts/mod/file2alias.c: handle numeric ranges for USB bcdDeviceRoman Kagan2005-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Another attempt at that... The attached patch fixes the longstanding problem with USB bcdDevice numeric ranges incorrectly converted into patterns for MODULE_ALIAS generation. Previously it put both the lower and the upper limits into the pattern, dlXdhY, making it impossible to fnmatch against except for a few special cases, like dl*dh* or dlXdhX. The patch makes it generate multiple MODULE_ALIAS lines covering the whole range with fnmatch-able patterns. E.g. for a range between 0x0001 and 0x8345 it gives the following patterns: 000[1-9] 00[1-9]* 0[1-9]* [1-7]* 8[0-2]* 83[0-3]* 834[0-5] Since bcdDevice is 2 bytes wide = 4 digits in hex representation, the max no. of patters is 2 * 4 - 1 = 7. The values are BCD (binary-coded decimals) and not hex, so patterns using a dash seem to be safe regardless of locale collation order. The patch changes bcdDevice part of the alias from dlXdhY to dZ, but this shouldn't have big compatibility issues because fnmatch()-based modprobing hasn't yet been widely used. Besides, the most common (and almost the only working) case of dl*dh* becomes d* and thus continues to work. The patch is against 2.6.12-rc2, applies to -mm3 with an offset. The matching patch to fix the MODALIAS environment variable now generated by the usb hotplug function follows.
