Allow to force setting of config variables during all{no,mod,yes,random}config
to a specific value. For that conf first checks the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
environment variable for a file name, otherwise it checks for
all{no,mod,yes,random}.config and all.config. The file is a normal config
file, which presets the config variables, but they are still subject to normal
dependency checks.

When doing its recursive dependency check, scripts/kconfig/conf uses the flag
SYMBOL_CHECK_DONE to avoid rechecking a symbol it has already checked.
However, that flag is only set at the top level, so if a symbol is first
encountered as a dependency of another symbol it will be rechecked every time
it is encountered until it's encountered at the top level.
This patch adjusts the flag setting so that each symbol will only be checked
once, regardless of whether it is first encountered at the top level, or while
recursing down from another symbol. On complex configurations, this vastly
speeds up scripts/kconfig/conf. The config in the powerpc merge tree is
particularly bad: this patch reduces the time for 'scripts/kconfig/conf -o
arch/powerpc/Kconfig' by a factor of 40 on a G5. That's even including the
time to print the config, so the speedup in the actual checking is more likely
2 or 3 orders of magnitude.

This patch changes the way the compression algorithm works. The base
algorithm is similiar to the previous but we force the compressed token
size to 2.
Having a fixed size compressed token allows for a lot of optimizations, and
that in turn allows this code to run over *all* the symbols faster than it
did before over just a subset.
Having it work over all the symbols will make it behave better when symbols
change positions between passes, and the "inconsistent kallsyms" messages
should become less frequent.
In my tests the compression ratio was degraded by about 0.5%, but the
results will depend greatly on the number of symbols to compress.

kbuild failed to locate Makefile for external modules.
This brought to my attention how the variables for directories
have different values in different usage scenarios.
Different kbuild usage scenarios:
make - plain make in same directory where kernel source lives
make O= - kbuild is told to store output files in another directory
make M= - building an external module
make O= M= - building an external module with kernel output seperate from src
Value assigned to the different variables:
|$(src) |$(obj) |$(srctree) |$(objtree)
make |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to output dir
make M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k output
path to kbuild file:
make | $(srctree)/$(src), $(src)
make O= | $(srctree)/$(src)
make M= | $(src)
make O= M= | $(src)
From the table above it can be seen that the only good way to find the
home directory of the kbuild file is to locate the one of the two variants
that is an absolute path. If $(src) is an absolute path (starts with /)
then use it, otherwise prefix $(src) with $(srctree).

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.
No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.
Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:
LANG= make menuconfig
is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.
Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:
http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes
To start the translation process:
make update-po-config
This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.
To test your translation, as root issue this command:
msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po
Replace "es" with your language code.
Then execute, for instance:
make menuconfig
The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.
Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our

sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at

Another attempt at that...
The attached patch fixes the longstanding problem with USB bcdDevice
numeric ranges incorrectly converted into patterns for MODULE_ALIAS
generation. Previously it put both the lower and the upper limits into
the pattern, dlXdhY, making it impossible to fnmatch against except for
a few special cases, like dl*dh* or dlXdhX.
The patch makes it generate multiple MODULE_ALIAS lines covering the
whole range with fnmatch-able patterns. E.g. for a range between 0x0001
and 0x8345 it gives the following patterns:
000[1-9]
00[1-9]*
0[1-9]*
[1-7]*
8[0-2]*
83[0-3]*
834[0-5]
Since bcdDevice is 2 bytes wide = 4 digits in hex representation, the
max no. of patters is 2 * 4 - 1 = 7.
The values are BCD (binary-coded decimals) and not hex, so patterns
using a dash seem to be safe regardless of locale collation order.
The patch changes bcdDevice part of the alias from dlXdhY to dZ, but
this shouldn't have big compatibility issues because fnmatch()-based
modprobing hasn't yet been widely used. Besides, the most common (and
almost the only working) case of dl*dh* becomes d* and thus continues to
work.
The patch is against 2.6.12-rc2, applies to -mm3 with an offset. The
matching patch to fix the MODALIAS environment variable now generated by
the usb hotplug function follows.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
