Sam Ravnborg 5e54d5e5fb kbuild: kill EXTRA_ARFLAGS
EXTRA_ARFLAGS have never been used so no need to carry
around on this.
A google search did not reveal any external module
using this either.

Milton Miller 0b35786d77 kbuild: call make once for all targets when O=.. is used
Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the
main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE)
via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all.

When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called
in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main
Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory
set to the object tree).  Before this patch, when multiple make command
goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation.
With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple
commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results.

I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config
targets.  Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious.
Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would
be appropriate.

Jesper Juhl cc9eefdb9e kbuild: scripts/ver_linux : correct printing of binutils version
Currently scripts/ver_linux prints "Binutils" or other random
information for the version number in the "binutils" output line
on some distributions. This patch corrects that.

When I initially submitted a patch to correct that, I was not aware
that the output from "ld -v" could differ as much as it turned out
it can, so my original fix turned out to not cover all bases.
This patch works correctly with all the different "ld -v" output
that people posted in replys to my first patch, so it should be a
clear win over what we have currently.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso 0bce67352b kbuild: script to check for undefined Kconfig symbols
To avoid having to look manually for used but undefined Kconfig variables,
I've written a script which tries do this efficiently, in case all other
attention fail.  It accounts for _MODULE suffix and for UML_ prefixes to
Kconfig variable, but otherwise looks for exact matches (i.e.  \<CONFIG_;
this is done to exclude macros like MMCONFIG_).

Undefined Kconfig variables should be not be removed without care, but for
instance arch/i386/boot/ uses a bunch of undefined Kconfig vars:

$ scripts/checkunknowndefines.sh arch/i386/boot/
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_400_HACK
arch/i386/boot/video-vga.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_400_HACK
arch/i386/boot/video.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_RETAIN
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_RETAIN
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_SVGA
arch/i386/boot/video.h uses undefined symbol VIDEO_VESA
arch/i386/boot/video-vesa.c uses undefined symbol VIDEO_VESA

Pavel Emelyanov 4665079cbb [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.

Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.

The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

Sam Ravnborg cb7e51d8b1 kbuild: fix modpost warnings for xtensa
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.

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.

Jesper Juhl 4a645d5ea6 kbuild: fix up printing of Linux C Library version in scripts/ver_linux
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

Sam Ravnborg 8d8d8289df kbuild: do not do section mismatch checks on vmlinux in 2nd pass
We already check and warn about section mismatches from vmlinux
(build as vmlinux.o) during first pass so skip the checks
during the 2nd pass where we process modules.

Thomas Renninger 29b71a1ca7 ACPI: autoload modules - Create ACPI alias interface
Modify modpost (file2alias.c) to add acpi*:XYZ0001: alias in modules.alias
like:
grep acpi /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc4-default/modules.alias
alias acpi*:SNY5001:* sony_laptop
alias acpi*:SNY6001:* sony_laptop
for e.g. the sony_laptop module.
This module matches against all ACPI devices with a HID or CID of SNY5001
or SNY6001

Export an uevent and modalias sysfs file containing the string:
[MODALIAS=]acpi:PNP0C0C:
additional CIDs are concatenated at the end.

Matthew Wilcox e609ccc316 Fix Lindent to not indent preprocessor comments so far
I recently ran Lindent over the AdvanSys driver and it moved the
comments on #else and #endif lines way over to the right:

	#else                          /* ADVANSYS_DEBUG */

This doesn't match what I expect from kernel style, but it is
documented.  We just need another flag to indent to make this look like:

	#else /* ADVANSYS_DEBUG */

Randy Dunlap cdccb316c0 kernel-doc: fix leading dot in man-mode output
If a parameter description begins with a '.', this indicates a "request"
for "man" mode output (*roff), so it needs special handling.

Problem case is in include/asm-i386/atomic.h for function
atomic_add_unless():
 * @u: ...unless v is equal to u.
This parameter description is currently not printed in man mode output.

Tejun Heo 9281acea6a kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.

This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.

* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
  is fixed.

* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
  MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
  trailing '\0'.  Fix it.

Paulo Marques 7c5d249ad3 kallsyms: remove usage of memmem and _GNU_SOURCE from scripts/kallsyms.c
The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only
uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to
replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens.

This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU
extension available.
