kconfig: oldconfig shall not set symbols if it does not need to

2007-09-01T06:24:09+00:00

Avoid setting the value if the symbol doesn't need to be changed or can't
be changed. Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the
possible input range.

make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set
was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking,
even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.09

2007-08-11T22:47:41+00:00

This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes.  Of note:

  - checks for spacing on round and square bracket combinations
  - loosening of the single statement brace checks, to allow
    them when they contain comments or where other blocks in a
    compound statement have them.
  - parks the multple declaration support
  - allows architecture defines in architecture specific headers

Andy Whitcroft (21):
      Version: 0.09
      loosen single statement brace checks
      fix up multiple declaration to avoid function arguments
      add some function space parenthesis check exceptions
      handle EXPORT_'s with parentheses in their names
      clean up some warnings in multi-line macro bracketing support
      park the multiple declaration checks
      make block brace checks count comments as a statement
      __volatile__ and __extension__ are not functions
      allow architecture specific defined within architecture includes
      check spacing on square brackets
      check spacing on parentheses
      ensure we apply checks to the part before start comment
      check #ifdef conditional spacing
      handle __init_refok and __must_check
      add noinline to inline checks
      prevent email addresses from tripping spacing checks
      handle typed initialiser spacing
      handle line contination as end of line
      add bool to the type matcher
      refine EXPORT_SYMBOL checks to handle pointers

kbuild: whitelist references from __dbe_table to .init

2007-07-31T22:39:40+00:00

This is needed on MIPS where the same mechanism as get_user() is used to
intercept bus error exceptions for some hardware probes.  Without this
patch modpost will throw spurious warnings:

  LD      vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  SYSMAP  .tmp_System.map
  MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: arch/mips/sgi-ip22/built-in.o(__dbe_table+0x0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:

kbuild: fix modpost warnings for xtensa

2007-07-25T20:24:52+00:00

The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate
from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore,
reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those
warnings.

The naming convention defines the name for a literal
section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case
the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp()
to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0
should not cause any regressions for other architectures.

We also need to suppress warnings for two informational
sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture.

kbuild: be more foregiving on init section naming

2007-07-25T19:52:31+00:00

In the whitelist function of modpost now use the same
check to identify init_section as in other places of modpost.
This has the effect that we now recognize sections named
.init.text.19 as init sections and we no longer warn
when we see these.

At the same time make surrounding code readable by dropping
use of temporary flags.

kbuild: rearrange a few function in modpost

2007-07-25T19:46:40+00:00

This is a preparational patch that just move
two functions and add one (for now unused) function.

kbuild: use LDFLAGS_MODULE only for .ko links

2007-07-25T19:18:19+00:00

Sam Ravnborg pointed out that Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt already
says this is what it's for.  This patch makes the reality live up to the
documentation.  This fixes the problem of LDFLAGS_BUILD_ID getting into too
many places.

This patch does this and at the same time introduce a few API
funtions used to access the help text.

The relevant api functions are introduced in the various frontends.

kbuild: fix up printing of Linux C Library version in scripts/ver_linux

2007-07-25T19:14:20+00:00

I noticed, when running scripts/ver_linux on both a Gentoo system
and a Slackware system, that the line printing the C library
version looked a little odd. So I fixed it up to be in line with
all the rest.

  Old output:
    Linux C Library        > libc.2.5
  New output:
    Linux C Library        2.5
