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
b2e3e658b3
It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

Crosscompiling on a Fedora 9 machine running gcc 4.3.0 as its host compiler
and gcc 3.4.6 for the mips-linux target results in the following build
error:
$ make malta_defconfig
$ make
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector"
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/mips/Kconfig
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-fno-stack-protector"
The arch Makefile is included too late so the host compiler is feature
tested, not the crosscompiler as intended and thus the Makefile applies
adds -fno-stack-protector to crosscompiler's flags which fails for gcc
3.4.6. The bug was introduced by e06b8b98da
in 2.6.25; 35bb5b1e0e did add more flags
testing before the arch Makefile inclusion.

For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by
the modules which are being installed.
Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the
configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended
for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent)
packages containing firmware.

This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to

If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.
The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.
[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]
Update:
It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
through the functions to call.

"make tags" may work fine with his code. However make TAGS doesn't work well
because etags command requires backslashes to escape meta characters like
`(', `)' and `|'.

PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific
subdirs soon. "make help" currently does not look in subdirs to
find the defconfigs to show. This is partially a good thing,
since there are way too many defconfigs for one list.
This patch makes the main "make help" display something like
help-40x - Show 40x-specific targets
help-44x - Show 44x-specific targets
help-boards - Show all of the above
and wires up stuff so those new help-* commands actually work.
[sam: fixed it up to display x86 defconfigs too]

Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.
I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures. With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.
With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.
At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should
obsolete make checkstack

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.
