e838db685f kbuild: adding symbols in Kconfig and defconfig to TAGS
I'm using TAGS generated from "make TAGS" to read the kernel source code.

When I met a ifdef block

	  #ifdef CONFIG_FOO
	  	 ...
	  #endif

in the soruce code I would like to know the meaning CONFIG_FOO
to decide whether I should read inside the ifdef block
or not. meaning CONFIG_FOO is well documented in Kconfig.
So it is nice if I can jump to CONFIG_FOO entry in Kconfig
from "#ifdef CONFIG_FOO" with the tag jump.

Here is the patch to add symbols in Kconfig and defconfig to TAGS
in "make TAGS" operation.

15fde67518 kbuild: support for %.symtypes files
Here is a patch that adds a new -T option to genksyms for generating dumps of
the type definition that makes up the symbol version hashes. This allows to
trace modversion changes back to what caused them. The dump format is the
name of the type defined, followed by its definition (which is almost C):

  s#list_head struct list_head { s#list_head * next , * prev ; }

The s#, u#, e#, and t# prefixes stand for struct, union, enum, and typedef.
The exported symbols do not define types, and thus do not have an x# prefix:

  nfs4_acl_get_whotype int nfs4_acl_get_whotype ( char * , t#u32 )

The symbol type defintion of a single file can be generated with:

  make fs/jbd/journal.symtypes

If KBUILD_SYMTYPES is defined, all the *.symtypes of all object files that
export symbols are generated.

The single *.symtypes files can be combined into a single file after a kernel
build with a script like the following:

for f in $(find -name '*.symtypes' | sort); do
    f=${f#./}
    echo "/* ${f%.symtypes}.o */"
    cat $f
    echo
done \
| sed -e '\:UNKNOWN:d' \
      -e 's:[,;] }:}:g' \
      -e 's:\([[({]\) :\1:g' \
      -e 's: \([])},;]\):\1:g' \
      -e 's: $::' \
      $f \
| awk '
/^.#/   { if (defined[$1] == $0) {
            print $1
            next
          }
          defined[$1] = $0
        }
        { print }
'

When the kernel ABI changes, diffing individual *.symtype files, or the
combined files, against each other will show which symbol changes caused the
ABI changes. This can save a tremendous amount of time.

Dump the types that make up modversions

3041e47e8b kbuild: fix silentoldconfig recursion
kconfig-fix-config-dependencies causes this:

make CC=cc  KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /usr/src/25 SUBDIRS=/home/akpm/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2/usr/src/nv modules
make -f /usr/src/devel/Makefile silentoldconfig
make -f /usr/src/devel/Makefile silentoldconfig
make -f /usr/src/devel/Makefile silentoldconfig

The basic problem is if we compile external modules, config-targets isn't
set which can cause recursive calls to silentoldconfig to update the
kernel configuration.

Bail out and ask the user to update manually.

ac031f26e8 kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them
Add option for stripping modules while installing them.

This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being
installed.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more
popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed
modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so.

Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug
information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install",
but that may not work for people who are installing directly into
/lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs
worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules,
so the "make modules_install" never succeeds.

This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the
modules as they are installed.

566f81ca59 kbuild: ignore make's built-in rules & variables
kbuild does explicitly specify what to do in all cases, and each
time make's built-in rules & variables has been used it has been a bug.
So to speed up things and to avoid the hard-to-debug error situations
ignore the built-in definitions.
If any part of the kernel uses the built-in definitions the build will
just stop there and it should be trivial to fix.

031ecc6de7 kbuild: add dependency on kernel.release to the package targets
The binrpm-pkg target uses KERNELRELEASE when generated its .spec file.
When binrpm-pkg was the first build target run in a tree it generated the
.spec before kernel.release so the Version: tag in the .spec was empty.

I don't know if this is the best fix, but binrpm-pkg works when we
explicitly build kernel.release before descending into package-dir.

2e3646e51b kconfig: integrate split config into silentoldconfig
Now that kconfig can load multiple configurations, it becomes simple to
integrate the split config step, by simply comparing the new .config file with
the old auto.conf (and then saving the new auto.conf).  A nice side effect is
that this saves a bit of disk space and cache, as no data needs to be read
from or saved into the splitted config files anymore (e.g.  include/config is
now 648KB instead of 5.2MB).

c955ccafc3 kconfig: fix .config dependencies
This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used
to check and regenerate the .config file.  This was done via an indirect
dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make
not to reread the changed .config file.

Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from
.config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies.  It's also
the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus
replaces include/linux/autoconf.h).

This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file
and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e.  silentoldconfig only
writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig
files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

7d2d8fe0cb kbuild: modules_install for external modules must not remove existing modules
When installing external modules with `make modules_install', the
first thing that happens is a rm -rf of the target directory. This
works only once, and breaks when installing more than one (set of)
external module(s).
With following fix we have the functionality:
- for a in-kernel modules_install the $(MODLIB)/kernel directory will be
  deleted before module installation
- for external modules the existing modules will be left as is assuming
  one may be building and installign several external modules

6edfba1b33 [PATCH] x86_64: Don't define string functions to builtin
gcc should handle this anyways, and it causes problems when
sprintf is turned into strcpy by gcc behind our backs and
the C fallback version of strcpy is actually defining __builtin_strcpy

Then drop -ffreestanding from the main Makefile because it isn't
needed anymore and implies -fno-builtin, which is wrong now.
(it was only added for x86-64, so dropping it should be safe)

- they are only available if EMBEDDED

- the default for -Os is to disable alignment

In case someone is doing performance comparisons and discovers that the

4f1933620f kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior
The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed.  This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.

For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html

Changes in this patch:
  - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
  - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
  - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
    targets are up-to-date or not.

06300b21f4 kbuild: support building individual files for external modules
Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
and fun.o.

You can then do:
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` /            <= will build all .o files
                                           and link foo.o
make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko       <= will build the module
                                           and do the modpost step
					   to create foo.ko

The above will also work if the external module is placed in a
subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.

Given that, this moves all of that in to its own arch/sh/mm/Kconfig.  Things
like cache configuration are also moved to this new location.

This also adds support for strict CPU tuning on newer cores, which requires

cb58455c48 kbuild: KERNELRELEASE is only re-defined when buiding the kernel
To avoid running setlocalversion as root no longer (re-)define
KERNELRELEASE for each run. With this patch KERNELRELEASE is
only re-read when we do an actual kernel build.
Rationale behind this is "do as little as possible" when executing
make install - as root!

A new file named .kernelrelease is strored in the root of the kernel
tree containing the actual version string.
So when we use do a kernel build the .kernelrelease file will be updated.
But in all other situations it is left as-is.

To make it more visible the kernel now prints out the version being build.
Sample:
Building kernel 2.6.15-g63b794bf-dirty
...
...

The patch also un-exports VERSION PATCHLEVEL SUBLEVEL EXTRAVERSION LOCALVERSION
since all users of these are anyway broken - and none is left in the
tree.

2ab23c95a0 [PATCH] Kbuild: index asm-$(SUBARCH) headers for UML
In Uml, many definitions are borrowed from underlying subarch headers (with
#include <asm/arch/stuff.h>).  And it has become annoying to keep switching
tag files all time, so by default index the underlying subarch headers too.
Btw, it adds negligible space to the tags file (less than 1M surely, IIRC it
was around 500k over 40M).

Finally, preserve the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS command line option (I hope) - if it is
set, it is used for headers too as before.  But check my construct please, I
didn't test this.

After the last merge of the new unified 'powerpc' architecture, ppc64 no

pieces still exist as files under the old ppc64 hierarchy, but the old
"ARCH=ppc64" is dead.

So if "uname" says ppc64, that now implies that the default architecture
should be "powerpc".

e623a3b808 [PATCH] kbuild: build breaks after -imacros was introduced
I have to revert the recent addition of -imacros to the Makefile to get my
tool chain to build.  Without the change, below, I get:

Note that this looks entirely like a toolchain bug.  Here is the offending command:

[pid 12163] execve("/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/tradcpp0", ["/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/tradcpp0", "-lang-asm", "-nostdinc", "-Iinclude", "-Iinclude/asm-i386/mach-default", "-D__GNUC__=3", "-D__GNUC_MINOR__=2", "-D__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__=2", "-D__GXX_ABI_VERSION=102", "-D__ELF__", "-Dunix", "-D__gnu_linux__", "-Dlinux", "-D__ELF__", "-D__unix__", "-D__gnu_linux__", "-D__linux__", "-D__unix", "-D__linux", "-Asystem=posix", "-D__NO_INLINE__", "-D__STDC_HOSTED__=1", "-Acpu=i386", "-Amachine=i386", "-Di386", "-D__i386", "-D__i386__", "-D__tune_i386__", "-D__KERNEL__", "-D__ASSEMBLY__", "-isystem", "/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/include", "-imacros", "include/linux/autoconf.h", "-MD", "arch/i386/kernel/.entry.o.d", "arch/i386/kernel/entry.S", "-o", "/tmp/ccOlsFJR.s"]

Which should execute properly, I think.  But it does not:

zach-dev:linux-2.6.14-zach-work $ make
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h

make: *** [arch/i386/kernel] Error 2

gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)

Deprecating the -imacros fixes the build for me.  It does not appear to be a
simple argument overflow problem in trapcpp0, since deprecating all the defines
reproduces the problem as well.  Also, switching -imacros to -include fixes the
problem.
