Several fixes were needed to allow following builds:
$ make tools/tmon
$ make -C <kernelsrc> tools/perf
$ make -C <kernelsrc>/tools perf
- some of the tools (perf) use same make variables as in
kernel build, unsetting srctree and objtree
- using original $(O) for O variable
- perf build does not follow the descend function setup
invoking it via it's own make rule
I tried the rest of the tools/Makefile targets and they
seem to work now.

When the host's C compiler is clang, and when attempting to
cross-compile Linux e.g. to MIPS with mipsel-linux-gcc, the Makefile
would incorrectly detect the use of clang, which resulted in
clang-specific flags being passed to mipsel-linux-gcc.
This can be verified under Debian by installing the "clang" package,
and then using it as the default compiler with:
sudo update-alternatives --config cc
This patch moves the detection of clang after the $(CC) variable is
initialized to the name of the cross-compiler, so that the check applies
to the cross-compiler and not the host's C compiler.
v2: Move the detection of clang after the inclusion of the
arch/*/Makefile (as they might set $(CROSS_COMPILE))

.. after extensive statistical analysis of my G+ polling, I've come to
the inescapable conclusion that internet polls are bad.
Big surprise.
But "Hurr durr I'ma sheep" trounced "I like online polls" by a 62-to-38%
margin, in a poll that people weren't even supposed to participate in.
Who can argue with solid numbers like that? 5,796 votes from people who
can't even follow the most basic directions?
In contrast, "v4.0" beat out "v3.20" by a slimmer margin of 56-to-44%,
but with a total of 29,110 votes right now.
Now, arguably, that vote spread is only about 3,200 votes, which is less
than the almost six thousand votes that the "please ignore" poll got, so
it could be considered noise.
But hey, I asked, so I'll honor the votes.

This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python
helper scripts when debugging the kernel in gdb.
The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>. Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.
The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions. To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.
Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.
This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector. It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.
KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC > v4.9.2 required. v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.
This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer. It's
not available for use yet. The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].
Basic idea:
The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.
Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.
Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:
unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
}
where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.
So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 <= k <= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible. Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).
To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.
These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory. If access is not valid an error
printed.
Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:
"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.
We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.
[...]
As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
finish all tuning).
I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.
Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
relatively easy to port."
Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================
KMEMCHECK:
- KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can. KASan uses
compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
kmemcheck. The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
uninitialized memory reads.
Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:
$ netperf -l 30
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
no debug: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 41624.72
kasan inline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 12870.54
kasan outline: 87380 16384 16384 30.00 10586.39
kmemcheck: 87380 16384 16384 30.03 20.23
- Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs. It always sets
number of CPUs to 1. KASan doesn't have such limitation.
DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.
SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.
- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
KASan able to detect both reads and writes.
- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
place of first bad read/write.

If the kernel is compiled with function tracer support the -pg compile option
is passed to gcc to generate extra code into the prologue of each function.

The introduction of the uapi directories in v3.7-rc1 moved some of the
generated headers from arch/*/include/generated to the uapi directory,
keeping the #include directives intact.
This creates a problem when bisecting, because the unversioned files are
not cleaned automatically by git and the compiler might include stale
headers as a result. Instead of cleaning them in the Makefiles, promote
arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the search path. Under normal
circumstances, there is no overlap between this uapi subdirectory and
its parent, so the include choices remain the same. We keep
arch/*/include/generated/uapi in the USERINCLUDE variable so that it is
usable standalone.
Note that we cannot completely swap the order of the uapi and
kernel-only directories, since the headers in include/uapi/asm-generic
are meant to be wrapped by their include/asm-generic counterparts when
building kernel code.

Sasha Levin reports:
"gcc5 changes the default standard to c11, which makes kernel build
unhappy
Explicitly define the kernel standard to be gnu89 which should keep
everything working exactly like it was before gcc5"
There are multiple small issues with the new default, but the biggest
issue seems to be that the old - and very useful - GNU extension to
allow a cast in front of an initializer has gone away.
Patch updated by Kirill:
"I'm pretty sure all gcc versions you can build kernel with supports
-std=gnu89. cc-option is redunrant.
We also need to adjust HOSTCFLAGS otherwise allmodconfig fails for me"
Note by Andrew Pinski:
"Yes it was reported and both problems relating to this extension has
been added to gnu99 and gnu11. Though there are other issues with the
kernel dealing with extern inline have different semantics between
gnu89 and gnu99/11"
End result: we may be able to move up to a newer stdc model eventually,
but right now the newer models have some annoying deficiencies, so the
traditional "gnu89" model ends up being the preferred one.

Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed
modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules
right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per
distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic.
This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu
and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz.
Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen
and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n
argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that
way we can save some more bytes.
On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a
total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table
shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config :
| time |
+-------------+-----------------+
| manual .ko | make | size | percent
| compression | modules_install | | gain
+-------------+-----------------+------+--------
- | | 18.61s | 378M |
GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41%
XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83%
The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while
uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module,
that is generally done only once.
This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is
compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression
and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

We have been chasing a memory corruption bug, which turned out to be
caused by very old gcc (4.3.4), which happily turned conditional load
into a non-conditional one, and that broke correctness (the condition
was met only if lock was held) and corrupted memory.
This particular problem with that particular code did not happen when
never gccs were used. I've brought this up with our gcc folks, as I
wanted to make sure that this can't really happen again, and it turns
out it actually can.
Quoting Martin Jambor <mjambor@suse.cz>:
"More current GCCs are more careful when it comes to replacing a
conditional load with a non-conditional one, most notably they check
that a store happens in each iteration of _a_ loop but they assume
loops are executed. They also perform a simple check whether the
store cannot trap which currently passes only for non-const
variables. A simple testcase demonstrating it on an x86_64 is for
example the following:
$ cat cond_store.c
int g_1 = 1;
int g_2[1024] __attribute__((section ("safe_section"), aligned (4096)));
int c = 4;
int __attribute__ ((noinline))
foo (void)
{
int l;
for (l = 0; (l != 4); l++) {
if (g_1)
return l;
for (g_2[0] = 0; (g_2[0] >= 26); ++g_2[0])
;
}
return 2;
}
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
if (mprotect (g_2, sizeof(g_2), PROT_READ) == -1)
{
int e = errno;
error (e, e, "mprotect error %i", e);
}
foo ();
__builtin_printf("OK\n");
return 0;
}
/* EOF */
$ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=0
$ ./a.out
OK
$ ~/gcc/trunk/inst/bin/gcc cond_store.c -O2 --param allow-store-data-races=1
$ ./a.out
Segmentation fault
The testcase fails the same at least with 4.9, 4.8 and 4.7. Therefore
I would suggest building kernels with this parameter set to zero. I
also agree with Jikos that the default should be changed for -O2. I
have run most of the SPEC 2k6 CPU benchmarks (gamess and dealII
failed, at -O2, not sure why) compiled with and without this option
and did not see any real difference between respective run-times"
Hopefully the default will be changed in newer gccs, but let's force it
for kernel builds so that we are on a safe side even when older gcc are
used.
The code in question was out-of-tree printk-in-NMI (yeah, surprise
suprise, once again) patch written by Petr Mladek, let me quote his
comment from our internal bugzilla:
"I have spent few days investigating inconsistent state of kernel ring buffer.
It went out that it was caused by speculative store generated by
gcc-4.3.4.
The problem is in assembly generated for make_free_space(). The functions is
called the following way:
+ vprintk_emit();
+ log = MAIN_LOG; // with logbuf_lock
or
log = NMI_LOG; // with nmi_logbuf_lock
cont_add(log, ...);
+ cont_flush(log, ...);
+ log_store(log, ...);
+ log_make_free_space(log, ...);
If called with log = NMI_LOG then only nmi_log_* global variables are safe to
modify but the generated code does store also into (main_)log_* global
variables:

It stores log_first_seq when edi == NMI_LOG. This instructions are used also
when edi == MAIN_LOG but the store is done speculatively before the condition
is decided. It is unsafe because we do not have "logbuf_lock" in NMI context
and some other process migh modify "log_first_seq" in parallel"
I believe that the best course of action is both
- building kernel (and anything multi-threaded, I guess) with that
optimization turned off
- persuade gcc folks to change the default for future releases

I found that a lot of unresolvable variables when using gdb on the

This is an alternative approach to lower the overhead of debug info
(as we discussed a few days ago)
gcc 4.7+ and newer binutils have a new "split debug info" debug info
model where the debug info is only written once into central ".dwo" files.
This avoids having to copy it around multiple times, from the object
files to the final executable. It lowers the disk space
requirements. In addition it defaults to compressed debug data.
More details here: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/DebugFission
This patch adds a new option to enable it. It has to be an option,
because it'll undoubtedly break everyone's debuginfo packaging scheme.
gdb/objdump/etc. all still work, if you have new enough versions.
I don't see big compile wins (maybe a second or two faster or so), but the
object dirs with debuginfo get significantly smaller. My standard kernel
config (slightly bigger than defconfig) shrinks from 2.9G disk space
to 1.1G objdir (with non reduced debuginfo). I presume if you are IO limited
the compile time difference will be larger.
Only problem I've seen so far is that it doesn't play well with older
versions of ccache (apparently fixed, see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10005)
v2: various fixes from Dirk Gouders. Improve commit message slightly.
v3: Fix clean rules and improve Kconfig slightly

Michel Dänzer and a couple of other people reported inexplicable random
oopses in the scheduler, and the cause turns out to be gcc mis-compiling
the load_balance() function when debugging is enabled. The gcc bug
apparently goes back to gcc-4.5, but slight optimization changes means
that it now showed up as a problem in 4.9.0 and 4.9.1.
The instruction scheduling problem causes gcc to schedule a spill
operation to before the stack frame has been created, which in turn can
corrupt the spilled value if an interrupt comes in. There may be other
effects of this bug too, but that's the code generation problem seen in
Michel's case.
This is fixed in current gcc HEAD, but the workaround as suggested by
Markus Trippelsdorf is pretty simple: use -fno-var-tracking-assignments
when compiling the kernel, which disables the gcc code that causes the
problem. This can result in slightly worse debug information for
variable accesses, but that is infinitely preferable to actual code
generation problems.
Doing this unconditionally (not just for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO) also allows
non-debug builds to verify that the debug build would be identical: we
can do
export GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1
to make gcc internally verify that the result of the build is
independent of the "-g" flag (it will make the compiler build everything
twice, toggling the debug flag, and compare the results).
Without the "-fno-var-tracking-assignments" option, the build would fail
(even with 4.8.3 that didn't show the actual stack frame bug) with a gcc
compare failure.

The specification of Python 3 is largely different from that of
Python 2.
For example, arch/ia64/scripts/unwcheck.py seems to be written
in Python 2, not compatible with Python 3.
It is not a good idea to invoke python scripts with the hard-coded
command name 'python'. The command 'python' could possibly be
Python 3 on some systems.
For that case, it is reasonable to allow to override the command name
by giving 'PYTHON=python2' from the command line.
The 'python' in arch/ia64/Makefile should be replaced with '$(PYTHON)'.

On architectures that setup CROSS_COMPILE in their arch/*/Makefile
(arc, blackfin, m68k, mips, parisc, score, sh, tile, unicore32, xtensa),
cc-option and cc-disable-warning may check against the wrong compiler,
causing errors like
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-maybe-uninitialized"
if the host gcc supports a compiler option, while the cross compiler
doesn't support that option.
Move all logic using cc-option or cc-disable-warning below the inclusion
of the arch's Makefile to fix this.

As -Wno-maybe-uninitialized requires a quite recent gcc (gcc 4.6.3 on

When not using O=, $(srctree) refers to the same directory as
$(objtree), so we can set it to '.' as well. This makes the default
include path more compact and results in more readable messages from the
compiler. The only case where we need the absolute path is when creating
the 'source' symlink in /lib/modules.

Kbuild is supposed to support mixed targets. (%config and build targets)
But "make all" did nothing if it was run with configuration targets.
For example,
$ LANG=C make defconfig all
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
This commits allows "make %config all" and makes sure
mixed targets are built one by one in the given order.

Having such code in scripts/Makefile.build results in the same flags
being added to KBUILD_CFLAGS multiple times becuase
scripts/Makefile.build is invoked every time Kbuild descends into

objdiff is useful when doing large code cleanups. For example, when
removing checkpatch warnings and errors from new drivers in the staging
tree.
objdiff can be used in conjunction with a git rebase to confirm that
each commit made no changes to the resulting object code. It has the
same return values as diff(1).
This was written specifically to support adding the skein and threefish
cryto drivers to the staging tree. I needed a programmatic way to
confirm that commits changing >90% of the lines didn't inadvertently
change the code.

As of v3.7, the UAPI changes relocated headers around such that the
kernel version header lived in a new place.
If a person is bisecting and if you go back to pre-UAPI days,
you will create an include/linux/version.h -- then if you checkout a
post-UAPI kernel, and even run "make distclean" it still won't delete
that old version file. So you get a situation like this:
$ grep -R LINUX_VERSION_CODE include/
include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 200192
include/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132646
The value in that second line is representative of a v2.6.38 version.
And it will be sourced/used, hence leading to strange behaviours, such
as drivers/staging content (which typically hasn't been purged of version
ifdefs) failing to build.
Since it is a subtle mode of failure, lets always clobber the old
file when doing a distclean.

Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
*install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.
This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of
the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be
set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not
set then it defaults to:
$INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE.
This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until
things have settled down. Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly
linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move
to their own repo. Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that
time.
v7: (reworked by Grant Likely)
- Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so
that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as
part of the make output.
- Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before
attempting to install
- Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be
sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory.
Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel,
I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would
rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to
rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory.
- Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the
rest of this feature.
- Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the
common dtb rules

It seems current gcc does not pass a '--gdwarf-2' option on to the assembler

That is completely broken.
For example, we by default have CONFIG_RD_LZ4 enabled, and are able to
decompress such an initrd, but the user tools to *create* such an initrd
may not be availble. So trying to tell dracut to generate an
lz4-compressed image just because we can decode such an image is

This changes the stack protector config option into a choice of
"None", "Regular", and "Strong":
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
"Regular" means the old CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y option.
"Strong" is a new mode introduced by this patch. With "Strong" the
kernel is built with -fstack-protector-strong (available in
gcc 4.9 and later). This option increases the coverage of the stack
protector without the heavy performance hit of -fstack-protector-all.
For reference, the stack protector options available in gcc are:
-fstack-protector-all:
Adds the stack-canary saving prefix and stack-canary checking
suffix to _all_ function entry and exit. Results in substantial
use of stack space for saving the canary for deep stack users
(e.g. historically xfs), and measurable (though shockingly still
low) performance hit due to all the saving/checking. Really not
suitable for sane systems, and was entirely removed as an option
from the kernel many years ago.
-fstack-protector:
Adds the canary save/check to functions that define an 8
(--param=ssp-buffer-size=N, N=8 by default) or more byte local
char array. Traditionally, stack overflows happened with
string-based manipulations, so this was a way to find those
functions. Very few total functions actually get the canary; no
measurable performance or size overhead.
-fstack-protector-strong
Adds the canary for a wider set of functions, since it's not
just those with strings that have ultimately been vulnerable to
stack-busting. With this superset, more functions end up with a
canary, but it still remains small compared to all functions
with only a small change in performance. Based on the original
design document, a function gets the canary when it contains any
of:
- local variable's address used as part of the right hand side
of an assignment or function argument
- local variable is an array (or union containing an array),
regardless of array type or length
- uses register local variables

Find below a comparison of "size" and "objdump" output when built with
gcc-4.9 in three configurations:
- defconfig
11430641 kernel text size
36110 function bodies
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR
11468490 kernel text size (+0.33%)
1015 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (2.81%)
- defconfig + CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG via this patch
11692790 kernel text size (+2.24%)
7401 of 36110 functions are stack-protected (20.5%)
With -strong, ARM's compressed boot code now triggers stack
protection, so a static guard was added. Since this is only used
during decompression and was never used before, the exposure
here is very small. Once it switches to the full kernel, the
stack guard is back to normal.
Chrome OS has been using -fstack-protector-strong for its kernel
builds for the last 8 months with no problems.

Make menuconfig allows one to choose compression format of an initial
ramdisk image. But this choice does not result in duly compressed ramdisk
image. Because - $ make install - does not pass on the selected
compression choice to the dracut(8) tool, which creates the initramfs
file. dracut(8) generates the image with the default compression, ie.
gzip(1).
This patch exports the selected compression option to a sub-shell
environment, so that it could be used by dracut(8) tool to generate
appropriately compressed initramfs images.
There isn't a straightforward way to pass on options to dracut(8) via
positional parameters. Because it is indirectly invoked at the end of a $
make install sequence.

When building the kernel in a shell which defines GREP_OPTIONS so that
grep behavior is modified, we can break the generation of the syscalls
table like so:
__SYSCALL_COMMON(^[[01;31m^[[K0^[[m^[[K, sys_read, sys_read)
__SYSCALL_COMMON(^[[01;31m^[[K1^[[m^[[K, sys_write, sys_write)
__SYSCALL_COMMON(^[[01;31m^[[K1^[[m^[[K0, sys_mprotect, sys_mprotect) ...
This is just the initial breakage, later we barf when generating
modules.
In this case, GREP_OPTIONS contains "--color=always" which adds the shell
colors markup and completely fudges the headers under ...generated/asm/.
Fix that by unexporting the GREP_OPTIONS variable for the whole kernel
build as we tend to use grep at a bunch of places.

The common error found in forward-ported/backported patches is missing
headers. One recent example (files and function names are mangled):
void foo(){}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
gave only warning
foo.c:12345678:5: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes]
void foo(){}
^
foo.c:12345679:5: warning: data definition has no type or storage class [enabled by default]
EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);
foo.c:12345679:5: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'EXORT_SYMBOL' [-Werror=implicit-int]
Now it's a fatal error. Tested on x86_64 allyesconfig.

Sure, the flag added some color to the logo, and could have remained as

This reverts commit d2aae8477c.
It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build
any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is
complete and utter sh*t.
The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make
module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root)
absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the
already-built files over.
So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong.
If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should*
get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

Here are the commands to reproduce:
make defconfig
make rpm-pkg
Use the resulting src rpm to build as follows:
mkdir ~/rpmbuild-test
cd ~/rpmbuild-test
rpmbuild --rebuild --define "_topdir `pwd`" -vv ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/kernel-3.10.0_rc1+-1.src.rpm
The issue is because the %install script uses $KBUILD_IMAGE and it hasn't
been set since it is only available in the kbuild system and not in the
%install script.
This patch adds a Makefile target to emit the image_name that can be used
and modifies the mkspec to use the dynamic name in %install.

gcc-4.7 and higher add a lot of false positive warnings about
potential uses of uninitialized warnings, but only when optimizing
for size (-Os). This is the default when building allyesconfig,
which turns on CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
In order to avoid getting a lot of patches that initialize such
variables and accidentally hide real errors along the way, let's
just turn off this warning on the respective gcc versions
when building with size optimizations. The -Wmaybe-uninitialized
option was introduced in the same gcc version (4.7) that is now
causing the false positives, so there is no effect on older compilers.
A side effect is that when building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
we might now see /fewer/ warnings about possibly uninitialized
warnings than with -O2, but that is still much better than seeing
warnings known to be bogus.

The source tree can contain lots of uninteresting data like tag or
cscope files, packaging which slows down make rpm needlessly. It can
also break the build, if the tree contains an unrelated file named
*.spec. The downside of this change is that new subdirectories have to
be added to the KBUILD_ALLDIRS variable in the top-level Makefile. The
upside is that the behavior is more predictable.
