2014-12-10scripts/kernel-doc: don't eat struct members with __alignedJohannes Berg
The change from \d+ to .+ inside __aligned() means that the following structure: struct test { u8 a __aligned(2); u8 b __aligned(2); }; essentially gets modified to struct test { u8 a; }; for purposes of kernel-doc, thus dropping a struct member, which in turns causes warnings and invalid kernel-doc generation. Fix this by replacing the catch-all (".") with anything that's not a semicolon ("[^;]"). Fixes: 9dc30918b23f ("scripts/kernel-doc: handle struct member __aligned without numbers") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Cc: Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2014-10-21dts, kbuild: Implement support for dtb vendor subdirsRobert Richter
This patch adds support of vendor sub directories for dtb files. Subdirectories can be specified in $(dts-dirs). Kbuild traverses over all directories while building and installing dtb files. The directory tree is also reflected in the install path. Tested-by: Andrew Bresticker <abrestic@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <rrichter@cavium.com>
2014-10-21dts, kbuild: Factor out dtbs install rules to Makefile.dtbinstRobert Richter
Move dtbs install rules to Makefile.dtbinst. This change is needed to implement support for dts vendor subdirs. The change makes Makefiles easier and smaller as no longer the dtbs_install rule needs to be defined. Another advantage is that install goals are not encoded in targets anymore (%.dtb_dtbinst_).

2014-09-10checkpatch: allow commit descriptions on separate line from commit idJoe Perches
The general form for commit id and description is 'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")' but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit description emds on the next line like: Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit foo description/subject line") is improved. Allow this form.

2014-08-29checkpatch: relax check for length of git commit IDsJoe Perches
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.

2014-08-27kbuild: handle module compression while running 'make modules_install'.Bertrand Jacquin
Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic. This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz. Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that way we can save some more bytes. On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config : | time | +-------------+-----------------+ | manual .ko | make | size | percent | compression | modules_install | | gain +-------------+-----------------+------+-------- - | | 18.61s | 378M | GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41% XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83% The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module, that is generally done only once. This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

Avoid the variable length array (vla), just use PATH_MAX instead.

Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible; make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the r/o section instead of being runtime writable. Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below: text data bss dec hex filename 51381 2640 12416 66437 10385 scripts/mod/modpost.old 51765 2224 12416 66405 10365 scripts/mod/modpost.new Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit 7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular linux-image package instead of the debug files package.

2014-08-22kconfig: nconfig: fix multi-byte UTF handlingBrian Norris
Currently, Kconfig descriptions that use multi-byte UTF-8 characters (such as MTD_NAND_CAFE) will have their menu entries dropped from the 'make nconfig' ncurses menu, and all subsequent entries in the same window will be omitted. This seems to be due to the ncurses 'menu' library, which does not traditionally handle UTF-8 >8-bit characters properly. The ncursesw library ('w' is for "wide") is written to handle these UTF-8 characters, and is practically a drop-in replacement at the source level. Use it by default, if available.
