2006-06-24kbuild: replace abort() with exit(1)Sam Ravnborg
We have had no use of the coredump file for a long time. So just exit(1) and avoid coredumping. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-06-24kbuild: support for %.symtypes filesAndreas Gruenbacher
Here is a patch that adds a new -T option to genksyms for generating dumps of the type definition that makes up the symbol version hashes. This allows to trace modversion changes back to what caused them. The dump format is the name of the type defined, followed by its definition (which is almost C): s#list_head struct list_head { s#list_head * next , * prev ; } The s#, u#, e#, and t# prefixes stand for struct, union, enum, and typedef. The exported symbols do not define types, and thus do not have an x# prefix: nfs4_acl_get_whotype int nfs4_acl_get_whotype ( char * , t#u32 ) The symbol type defintion of a single file can be generated with: make fs/jbd/journal.symtypes If KBUILD_SYMTYPES is defined, all the *.symtypes of all object files that export symbols are generated. The single *.symtypes files can be combined into a single file after a kernel build with a script like the following: for f in $(find -name '*.symtypes' | sort); do f=${f#./} echo "/* ${f%.symtypes}.o */" cat $f echo done \ | sed -e '\:UNKNOWN:d' \ -e 's:[,;] }:}:g' \ -e 's:\([[({]\) :\1:g' \ -e 's: \([])},;]\):\1:g' \ -e 's: $::' \ $f \ | awk ' /^.#/ { if (defined[$1] == $0) { print $1 next } defined[$1] = $0 } { print } ' When the kernel ABI changes, diffing individual *.symtype files, or the combined files, against each other will show which symbol changes caused the ABI changes. This can save a tremendous amount of time. Dump the types that make up modversions Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-06-24kbuild: fix silentoldconfig recursionRoman Zippel
kconfig-fix-config-dependencies causes this: make CC=cc KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /usr/src/25 SUBDIRS=/home/akpm/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2/usr/src/nv modules make -f /usr/src/devel/Makefile silentoldconfig make -f /usr/src/devel/Makefile silentoldconfig make -f /usr/src/devel/Makefile silentoldconfig The basic problem is if we compile external modules, config-targets isn't set which can cause recursive calls to silentoldconfig to update the kernel configuration.

2006-06-24kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing themTheodore Ts'o
Add option for stripping modules while installing them. This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being installed. CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so. Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install", but that may not work for people who are installing directly into /lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules, so the "make modules_install" never succeeds. This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the modules as they are installed. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-06-24kbuild: export-symbol usage report generatorRam Pai
The following patch provides the ability to generate a report of (1) All the exported symbols and their in-kernel-module usage count (2) For each module, lists the modules and their exported symbols, on which it depends. the report can be generated by executing: perl scripts/export_report The tool warns if the modules are not build using MODVERSIONING.

2006-06-17kbuild: append git revision for all untagged commitsUwe Zeisberger
adds revision suffix for untagged commits that are reachable from a tag I'm bisecting and don't get the -g...... suffix. The reason is, that git name-rev --tags HEAD returns e.g. HEAD tags/v2.6.17-rc1^0~1067 which is currently good enough for setlocalversion to skip the suffix. This introduces a dependecy to grep -E, which should be fine.

2006-06-10kbuild: ignore make's built-in rules & variablesSam Ravnborg
kbuild does explicitly specify what to do in all cases, and each time make's built-in rules & variables has been used it has been a bug. So to speed up things and to avoid the hard-to-debug error situations ignore the built-in definitions. If any part of the kernel uses the built-in definitions the build will just stop there and it should be trivial to fix. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-06-09kbuild: check license compatibility when building modulesSam Ravnborg
Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild, the build will fail during the modpost step. When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol then warn during modpost so author are actually notified. The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel to make sure it is in sync.

2006-06-09kbuild: add dependency on kernel.release to the package targetsZach Brown
The binrpm-pkg target uses KERNELRELEASE when generated its .spec file. When binrpm-pkg was the first build target run in a tree it generated the .spec before kernel.release so the Version: tag in the .spec was empty. I don't know if this is the best fix, but binrpm-pkg works when we explicitly build kernel.release before descending into package-dir.

2006-06-09kconfig: move .kernelreleaseRoman Zippel

2006-06-09kconfig: integrate split config into silentoldconfigRoman Zippel
Now that kconfig can load multiple configurations, it becomes simple to integrate the split config step, by simply comparing the new .config file with the old auto.conf (and then saving the new auto.conf). A nice side effect is that this saves a bit of disk space and cache, as no data needs to be read from or saved into the splitted config files anymore (e.g. include/config is now 648KB instead of 5.2MB).

2006-06-09kconfig: fix .config dependenciesRoman Zippel
This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make not to reread the changed .config file. Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from .config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus replaces include/linux/autoconf.h). This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

2006-06-08kbuild: fix make rpm for powerpcMike Wolf
The default target for most powerpc platforms is zImage. The zImage however is in arch/powerpc/boot and the mkspec script was set up to get the kernel from the top level of the kernel tree.

2006-06-08kbuild: obj-dirs is calculated incorrectly if hostprogs-y is definedPavel Roskin
When Makefile.host is included, $(obj-dirs) is subjected to the addprefix operation for the second time. Prefix only needs to be added to the newly added directories, but not to those that came from Makefile.lib. This causes the build system to create unneeded empty directories in the build tree when building in a separate directory. For instance, lib/lib/zlib_inflate is created in the build tree.
