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

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

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.

PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific

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.

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

fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.

Building vmlinux.o were moved up in the dependency chain so we started
to build it before the kallsym stuff. This was done to let modpost
report section mismatch bugs even when the final link failed.
Originally I had expected the dependency of $(kallsyms.o) to
cover this but it turns out that we need to be even more explicit.
Fix this by adding a conditional dependency on firat target

When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile. This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.
When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected. However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules). This causes confusion.
The solution is two-parted. This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile. The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.
Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.
Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again
can set 64BIT in all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
0f855aa64b
-> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable
2a113281f5
-> kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string
compares so the additional complexity introduced by the
above two patches were not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture
takes precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit
kernel no matter what the configuration says.
The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was
configured to 64-bit and the other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so
no suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel
but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select
between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

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.

The assembler for a while now supports -gdwarf to generate source line info
just like the C compiler does. Source-level assembly debugging sounds like an
oxymoron, but it is handy to be able to see the right source file and read its
comments rather than just the disassembly. This patch enables -gdwarf for
assembly files when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y and the assembler supports the option.

This change passes the --build-id when linking the kernel and when linking
modules, if ld supports it. This is a new GNU ld option that synthesizes an
ELF note section inside the read-only data. The note in this section contains
unique identifying bits called the "build ID", which are generated so as to be
different for any two linked ELF files that aren't identical. The build ID
can be recovered from stripped files, memory dumps, etc. and used to look up
the original program built, locate debuginfo or other details or history
associated with it. For normal program linking, the compiler passes
--build-id to ld by default, but the option is needed when using ld directly
as we do.

the stack should be 16-byte aligned) even if we are then using "-m32" to

Most system calls seems to get added to i386 first. This patch
automatically generates a warning for any new system call which is
implemented on i386 but not the architecture currently being compiled.
On PowerPC at the moment, for example, it results in these warnings:
init/missing_syscalls.h:935:3: warning: #warning syscall sync_file_range not implemented
init/missing_syscalls.h:947:3: warning: #warning syscall getcpu not implemented
init/missing_syscalls.h:950:3: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implemented
The file scripts/checksyscalls.sh list a number of legacy system calls
that are ignored because they only makes sense on i386 systems.

CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s

We just never saw the error because of cc-options.
I changed it to 4 to actually work.

compile.h is created super-late in the build. But proc_misc.c want to include
it, and it's generally not sane to have a header file in include/linux be
created at the end of the build: it's either not present or, worse, wrong for
most of the build.
So the patch arranges for compile.h to be built at the start of the build
process. It also consolidates the compile.h rules with those for version.h
and utsname.h, so they all get built together.

able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates
one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue
using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls).

`make headers_check' wants to go and write stuff in /lib/modules, which
requires root, whic is unfortunate.
In fact, there's no _particular_ reason for headers_install to put it there
either -- it can go into a subdirectory of the build tree in both cases.
It's not intended to go directly into /usr/include, which is why we didn't
put it there -- and we certainly don't want people screwing around with
symlinking to it. It's for distributors to take away and do stuff with, so
leaving it in $(objtree) is fine, even in the headers_install case.
I picked $(objtree)/usr/include but I have no _particular_ preference
for that; it just seemed reasonable.
