Remove last traces of ikconfig.h

2016-12-14T09:54:28+00:00

The build system stopped generating ikconfig.h in v2.6.8. Remove an entry
for it in dontdiff. There's also a reference to it in a small comment.
Remove that comment too, as it is of little help in any case.

GCC plugin infrastructure

2016-06-07T20:57:10+00:00

This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from
grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and
building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too.
Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins.

The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory
there. The plugins compile with these options:
* -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too
* -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too
* -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too
* -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal
errors)
* -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h)
* -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version
variable, plugin-version.h)

The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It
supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script
chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).
This script also checks the availability of the included headers in
scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h.

The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins
and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions.

The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration
structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes.

Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper
targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules.

Based on work created by the PaX Team.

Clang has a few other kinds of derived files which shouldn't be added to a
patch. Add them to the Documentation/dontdiff file to prevent this.

[S390] Remove Kerntypes leftovers

2011-12-27T10:27:12+00:00

Remove last traces of our kerntypes patch which was always an addon
patch which never got upstream. Somehow a few bits got upstream
anyway.
Since kerntypes aren't used anymore and lcrash isn't maintained (for
s390 at least) remove the last traces of kerntypes that somehow went
upstream. Also remove the documentation that mentions lcrash.
