<content type='text'>
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas.  As a result,
using these directives in code sections can result in misaligned
data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to assume
that fundamental types of word size or above are word- aligned when
accessing them from C.  If the data is not really word-aligned,
this can cause impaired performance and stray alignment faults in
some circumstances.

In general, the following rules should be applied when using data
word declaration directives inside code sections:

    * .quad and .double:
         .align 3

    * .long, .word, .single, .float:
         .align (or .align 2)

    * .short:
        No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
        instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
        immediately after an instruction.

<title>kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior</title>

<id>4f1933620f57145212cdbb1ac6ce099eeeb21c5a</id>
<content type='text'>
The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed.  This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.

For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html

Changes in this patch:
  - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
  - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
  - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
    targets are up-to-date or not.

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!
