2008-07-25kconfig: make defconfig is no longer chattySam Ravnborg1-8/+3
make defconfig generated a lot of output then noone actually read. Use conf_set_all_new_symbols() to generate the default configuration and avoid the chatty output. A typical run now looks like this: $ make defconfig *** Default configuration is based on 'i386_defconfig' arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:13:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol SEMAPHORE_SLEEPERS arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:176:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol PREEMPT_BKL ... arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig:1386:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol INSTRUMENTATION $ As an added benefit we now clearly see the warnings generated in the start of the process.

2008-07-25kconfig: make oldconfig is now less chattySam Ravnborg1-1/+1
Previously when running "make oldconfig" we saw all the propmt lines from kconfig and noone actully read this. With this patch the user will only see output if there is new symbols. This will be seen as "make oldconfig" runs which does not generate any output. A typical run now looks like this: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig $ If a new symbol is found then we restart the config process like this: $ make oldconfig scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86/Kconfig * * Restart config... * * * General setup * Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?] y Local version - append to kernel release (LOCALVERSION) [] ... The bahaviour is similar to what we know when running the implicit oldconfig target "make silentoldconfig". "make silentoldconfig" are run as part of the kernel build process if the configuration has changed. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>
2008-07-25kconfig: speed up all*config + randconfigSam Ravnborg1-86/+68
Drop the chatty mode when we generate the all*config, randconfig configurations. Ths speeds up the process considerably and noone looked at the output anyway. This patch uses the conf_set_all_new_symbols() function just added to kconfig. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>

Handle __init in functions with kernel-doc notation by stripping the __init away from the output doc. This is already being done for "__devinit".

2008-07-25kbuild: prepare headers_* for arch/$ARCH/includeSam Ravnborg1-0/+41
Factor out the headers_*_all support to a seperate shell script and add support for arch specific header files can be located in either arch/$ARCH/include/asm or include/asm-$ARCH/ In "make help" always display the headers_* targets. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-07-25kbuild: install all headers when arch is changedSam Ravnborg2-8/+12
We see some header files that are selected dependent on the actual architecture so force a reinstallation of all header files when the arch changes. This slows down "make headers_check_all" but then we better reflect reality. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-07-25kbuild: optimize headers_* targetsSam Ravnborg4-92/+161
Move the core functionality of headers_install and headers_check to two small perl scripts. The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and changed to operate on all files in a directory. So if one file is changed then all files in the directory is processed. perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this is pure text processing which perl is good at and especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to see changes / new checks implmented. The speed is ~300% faster on this box. And the output generated to the screen is now down to two lines per directory (one for install, one for check) so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build. The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-07-25kbuild: only one call for include/ in make headers_*Sam Ravnborg1-9/+0
Move it to the top-level file to decide if we install/check the generic headers or the arch specific headers. This revealed a long standing bug where "make headers_check_all" relied on the files in asm/ for the current architecture. So make headers_check_all is now broken by this commit. In addition: o add a simpler way to detect if an arch support exporting header files. o add 'set -e;' so we error out early if make headers_check_all fails. o add sparc64 and cris to arch we do not process in make headers_*_all because: sparc64 - use sparc to export headers cris - is know seriously broken Includes suggestions from: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>.

2008-07-25kbuild: always unifdef files in headers_install*Sam Ravnborg1-19/+10
unifdef utility is fast enough to warrant that we always run the scripts through unifdef. This patch runs all headers listed with header-y and unifdef-y through unifdef. Next step is to drop unifdef-y in all Kbuild files and that can now be done in smaller steps.

2008-07-25find dynamic stack allocations in checkstack.plEric Sandeen1-1/+23
Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack pointer. However, things like this: void function(int size) { char stackbuster[size << 2]; ... are certainly worth pointing out, I think. This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works: 0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) ...

Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port.

When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared. It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates when a markers was changed. This problem is present since scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit b2e3e658b344c6bcfb8fb694100ab2f2b5b2edb0 It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
