2009-09-20arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0Sam Ravnborg
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported: Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them. This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds. This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile, or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh) Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script. This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where it is used. Notes for the different architectures touched: arm - we use an already exported symbol cris - we use a config symbol aleady available [Not build tested] mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it. Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by the linker script. [Not build tested] powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed [not build tested] sparc - simplified it using $(BITS) um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this xtensa - added options to CPP invocation [not build tested] Cc: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-20gconfig: disable "typeahead find" search in treeviewsDiego Elio 'Flameeyes' Pettenò
When typeahead find is enabled, using 'y', 'n' and 'm' to change the status of the configuration items will also start up the search system, making you jump around the configuration. Disabling the enable_search property does not mean that search is not possible, it only disables the typeahead; to execute a search in the treeview, you can just call it up explicitly (i.e.: on most systems that will be Ctrl-f).

The arch/*/boot/Makefile use cc-options to check for GCC command options and cc-options use the hardened specs when checking for GCC command options. When -fPIE is pass to cc1 it can't use -ffreestanding or -fno-toplevel-reorder. Then it fail to build stuff with -ffreestanding and -fno-toplevel-reorder.

2009-09-20ctags: usability fixStefani Seibold
The tag file generated by the tags.sh script has some issue. First: The identifier-list miss the DEFINE_TRACE,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL_GPL special handling, which can result in a wrong tag, not to jump to the right variable definition or function implementation. Second: It makes no real sense to include function prototypes and external and forward variable declarations, because jumping to a tag will sometimes go to this and not to the real definition and implementation. The information about the declaration is still there at the definition and implementation place. So this patch make it lot easier to navigate through the kernel source tree using vi.

2009-09-15sparc: Kill PROM console driver.David S. Miller
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500) so there are no excuses. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There's a dependency missing. $ make localyesconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64' /bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127 make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2 Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m' to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules converted to built in! The missing dependency was for conf for localyesconfig.

2009-08-18kconfig: do not warn about modules built inSteven Rostedt
The streamline_config.pl finds all the configs that are needed to compile the currently loaded modules.

2009-08-18kconfig: streamline_config.pl do not stop with no dependsSteven Rostedt
If a config does not have a prompt, it must be selected. streamline_config.pl keeps track of all configs that select other configs. If a config that does not have a prompt needs to be set to enable a current module, it will include all configs that select it. Note, streamline_config.pl does not enable modules that are not already enabled. It only keeps enabled those that were enabled and might be needed to compile the current modules. The code to find the selects of a config is after the code that adds the depends. But if a config needed selects but had no dependencies, it would not be set. Because the code would stop before getting to the select. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: add make localyesconfig optionSteven Rostedt
This adds the option localyesconfig to make. This is similar to localmodconfig, but after it removes unnecessary modules it runs sed -i s/=m/=y/ on the .config file.

2009-08-18kconfig: make localmodconfig to run streamline_config.plSteven Rostedt

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: add streamline_config.pl to scriptsSteven Rostedt
streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that it can take forever to compile the kernel. Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that person may not even know how to build a kernel. This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG. Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to standard out. Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds a distribution .config. $ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl $ mv .config config-save $ mv config-sl .config $ make oldconfig Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also take much less time to build the kernel.

2009-08-07tracing: Fix recordmcount.pl to handle sections with only weak functionsSteven Rostedt
Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak function in one of the staging drivers and this caused recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail. Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and this function only be used in one place, it should not be something to make recordmcount.pl fail.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific. Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called: LM93_IN_FROM_REG() But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have: Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>: 0: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 4: fb 81 ff e0 std r28,-32(r1) The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly stage. The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the --synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a local. Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case, we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it back to a local symbol. This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain unresolved.
