checkpatch: relax check for length of git commit IDs

2014-08-29T23:28:15+00:00

Checkpatch currently warns if a git commit ID (in the changelog,
usually) is less than 12 characters or more than 16.  The "more than 16"
is excessive.  Change the check so we accept IDs from 12 to 40 chars in
length.

scripts/kernel-doc: recognize __meminit

2014-08-26T20:49:57+00:00

Fix scripts/kernel-doc to recognize __meminit in a function prototype
and to strip it, as done with many other attributes.

Fixes this warning:

  Warning(..//mm/page_alloc.c:2973): cannot understand function prototype: 'void * __meminit alloc_pages_exact_nid(int nid, size_t size, gfp_t gfp_mask) '

 "These are a couple of regression fixes, cpuidle menu governor
  optimizations, fixes for ACPI proccessor and battery drivers,

  profiling tool analyze_suspend.py.

  Specifics:

     that causes a kernel panic to trigger when memory hot-remove is
     attempted with CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY unset from Tang Chen

     "sleeping function called from invalid context" bug in
     dev_pm_opp_init_cpufreq_table() from Stephen Boyd

   - ACPI battery driver fix for a warning message added in 3.16 that
     prints silly stuff sometimes from Mariusz Ceier

   - Hibernation fix for safer handling of mismatches in the 820 memory
     map between the configurations during image creation and during the
     subsequent restore from Chun-Yi Lee

PM / tools: analyze_suspend.py: update to v3.0

2014-08-09T00:47:58+00:00

Update of analyze_suspend.py to v3.0

New features include back-2-back suspend testing, device filters to
reduce the html size, the inclusion of device_prepare and device_complete
callbacks, a usb topography list, and the ability to control USB
device autosuspend.

UI upgrades include a device detail window and mini-timeline, the addition
of a suspend_prepare and resume_complete phase to the timeline which includes
the associated device callbacks, automatic highlight of related callbacks,
and general color and name changes for better reability.

The new version relies on two trace point patches that are already in
the kernel:
        enable_trace_events_suspend_resume.patch
        enable_trace_events_device_pm_callback.patch

It has legacy support for older kernels without these trace events, but
when available the tool processes the ftrace output alone (dmesg has
been deprecated as a tool input, and is only gathered for convenience).

kernel: build bin2c based on config option CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C

2014-08-08T22:57:32+00:00

currently bin2c builds only if CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y. But bin2c will now be
used by kexec too.  So make it compilation dependent on CONFIG_BUILD_BIN2C
and this config option can be selected by CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_IKCONFIG.

bin2c: move bin2c in scripts/basic

2014-08-08T22:57:32+00:00

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet.  I plan
to post another patch series for that.  Now distributions are already
signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify
those signatures.

Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel
image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load.  This
should help with two things.

- It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines.

- In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify
  kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module
  signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom
  kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and
  bypass any policy one wants to.

This patch (of 15):

Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build
process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches.

So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and
be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/
