2008-05-09module: put modversions in vermagicRusty Russell
Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted into a kernel which expects modversions. modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it won't be effected, but this will make sure that a non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Move compiler check for modules to ia64 onlyAndi Kleen
Apparently IA64 needs it, but i386/x86-64 don't anymore since gcc 2.95 support was dropped. Nobody else on linux-arch requested keeping it generically Cc: tony.luck@intel.com Cc: kaos@sgi.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-07-03kbuild: introduce utsrelease.hSam Ravnborg
include/linux/version.h contained both actual KERNEL version and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when kernel was compiled as part of a git repository. This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1. Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files. Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-04-11[PATCH] module support: record in vermagic ability to unload a modulePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to include this too. Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've not investigated though. (akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).

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!
