So that we don't require that the kernel be configured first, and as we
don't use KERNELRELEASE at all in the -src-pkg targets, we need o add a
new wildcard for targets ending in src-pkg:
On a make mrproper'ed kernel we get this without this patch:

Better dwarf2 unwind information is a good thing, it allows better
debugging with kgdb and crash and helps systemtap.
Commit 003086497f ("Build with
-fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm") disabled some CFI information globally to work
around a module loader bug on powerpc.
But this disables the better unwind tables for all architectures, not just
powerpc. Move the workaround to powerpc and also add a suitable comment
that's it really a workaround.
This improves dwarf2 unwind tables on x86 at least.

The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to
the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of
whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not. This allows users to
uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string.
If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by
setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it
exists. When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended
to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since
the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify
the build.
The end result is this:
- when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel
version,
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is
appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit,
and
- when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the
repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION=
was not passed to "make".
Examples:
With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "make" results in
v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63. If there are uncommited changes to the
respository, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty. If
"make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in
v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild-00149-ga3ccf63-dirty.
Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+
unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which
case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4). If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild"
were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild.
Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more
accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and
scm-identifier, respectively.

This adds CROSS_COMPILE as a kconfig string so you can store it in
.config. Then you can use plain "make" in the configured kernel build
directory to do the right cross compilation without setting the
command-line or environment variable every time.
With this, you can set up different build directories for different kernel
configurations, whether native or cross-builds, and then use the simple:
make -C /build/dir M=module-source-dir
idiom to build modules for any given target kernel, indicating which one
by nothing but the build directory chosen.
I tried a version that defaults the string with env="CROSS_COMPILE" so
that in a "make oldconfig" with CROSS_COMPILE in the environment you can
just hit return to store the way you're building it. But the kconfig
prompt for strings doesn't give you any way to say you want an empty
string instead of the default, so I punted that.

Setting LC_CTYPE=C breaks localized messages in some setups. With only
LC_COLLATE=C and LC_NUMERIC=C, we get almost all we need, except for not
so defined character classes and tolower()/toupper(). The former is not
a big issue, because we can assume that e.g. [:alpha:] will always
include a-zA-Z and we only ever process ASCII input. The latter seems
only affect arch/sh/tools/gen-mach-types, which we can handle separately.
So after this patch the meaning of ranges like [a-z], the behavior of
sort and join, etc. should be the same everywhere and at the same time
gcc should be able to print localized waring and error messages.
LC_NUMERIC=C might not be necessary, but setting it doesn't hurt.

The namespace used in arch/$ARCH/include is different from
what is used in include/ except for the include/asm directory.
This patch gives the arch/$ARCH/include/asm directory priority
over include/asm.
When we add asm-offsets.h to arch/$ARCH/include/asm/ this
patch makes sure we pick up the arch specific version
and not the one we have in include/asm.
The situation with an asm-offsets.h file located in
both include/asm _and_ arch/$ARCH/include/asm will happen
when we move more files over to include/generated.
This happens because in some cases it is not practical
to rename all users so we simply add a file
in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that includes the generated version.
This is the solution we use for asm-offsets.h as an example.

there exists lots of files that may have this issue with older objcopys

This patch solves this overwhelming output by creating a
.tmp_quiet_recordmcount file on the first instance the warning is
encountered. The warning will not print if this file exists.
The temp file is deleted at the beginning of the compile to ensure that
the warning will happen once again on new compiles (because the issue

It caused following issues:
- On architectures where ARCH= setting is used to select between
32 and 64 bit this was no longer possible without "make mrproper"
- If ARCH was changed then kbuild refused to run "make mrproper"
because ARCH had changed
- When CROSS_COMPILE was changed people were asked to run "make mrproper"
but kbuild refused to run "make mrproper" because CROSS_COMPILE changed.
- Spaces in CROSS_COMPILE was not 'supported'
- If an non-existing ARCH= was used kbuild could get stuck
Lessons learned:
. Despite being simple and straghtforward people uses very different
approaches when building the kernel.
. CROSS_COMPILE is sometimes used for ccache despite cache being
only a CC frontend so one would have expected CC to be
used for this purpose.
. And obviously this was not tested widely enough.

I'm skipping -rc2 because the -rc1 Makefile mistakenly said -rc2, so in
order to avoid confusion, I'm jumping from -rc1 to -rc3. That way, when
'uname' (or an oops report) says 2.6.32-rc2, there's no confusion about
whether people perhaps meant -rc1 or -rc2.
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

When building a kernel for a different architecture
kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and
CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line.
We use the asm symlink to detect if user forgets to
specify the correct ARCH value - but that symlink
is about to die. And we do now want to loose this check.
This patch save the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
in two files named:
include/generated/kernel.arch
include/generated/kernel.cross
The settings are saved during "make *config" time
and always read.
If user try to change the settings we error out.
This works both for plain builds and for O=...
builds.
So now you can do:
$ mkdir sparc64
$ make O=sparc64 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- defconfig
$ cd sparc64
$ make
Notice that you no longer need to tell kbuild
the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE when you type make
in the output directory.
Likewise for plain builds where you do not use O=...

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
0f8e2d62fa
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

Fix trivial conflict as by Tejun Heo in kernel/sched.c
Conflicts:
arch/sparc/kernel/smp_64.c
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_counter.c
arch/x86/kernel/setup_percpu.c
drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_ondemand.c
mm/percpu.c
Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit
ed78e1e078dd44249f88b1dd8c76dafb39567161 which substituted many
num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids. As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away
some "useless" checks for null pointers. Such bugs can sometimes become
exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html
An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672.
static void __devexit agnx_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev)
{
struct ieee80211_hw *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev);
- struct agnx_priv *priv = dev->priv;
+ struct agnx_priv *priv;
AGNX_TRACE;
if (!dev)
return;
+ priv = dev->priv;
By reverting this patch, and compile it with and without
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag, we can see that the check for dev
is compiled away.
call printk #
- testq %r12, %r12 # dev
- je .L94 #,
movq %r12, %rdi # dev,
Clearly the 'fix' is to stop using dev before it is tested, but building
with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag at least makes it harder to
abuse.

This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain
broken gcc versions.
This fixes kernel bugzilla entry:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012
I suspect the gcc problem is this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230
Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.

Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix
changes. As alpha in percpu tree uses 'weak' attribute instead of
inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute.
Conflicts:
arch/alpha/include/asm/percpu.h
arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
include/linux/percpu-defs.h
Some distributions have enabled the gcc flag -Wformat-security by default.
This results in a number of warnings about format arguments to functions,
sometimes in cases where fixing the warning is not likely to actually fix a
bug. Instead of hand patching a dozens of places (possibly more) that produce
warnings that get ignored anyway we just turn off the flag in the Makefile.

x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do. Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch
and module linking throw it away. This will be used to define dummy
variables for percpu declarations and definitions.
This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel. gcov may be useful for:
* debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
associated code is never run?)
The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
* change kbuild to include profiling flags
* provide functions needed by profiling code
* present profiling data as files in debugfs
Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.
For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

The GNU make's origin function know undefined variable well,
so the outer ifdef/endif conditional checking is unneeded.
From `info make` documentation, origin will return
`undefined'
if VARIABLE was never defined.
`command line'
if VARIABLE was defined on the command line.
...
Therefore, $(origin V) will get a value anyway, killing ifdef/endif is
viable and safe.
Furthermore, I've checked the minimal requirements from
Documentation/Changes is GNU make 3.79.1, and that version of GNU make
has support of origin function well already, so now it's safe to kill
the outer conditional checking, without upgrading the minimal
requirements.

We need a location for generated files.
Today they are spread over several places and bringing them
together to a common place makes it obvious hat is generated
and what isreal files.
Al Viro originally suggested: include/gen
Linus suggested to spell it out.
This patch implement support for
include/generated
All files in include/generated are ignored by git.
include/generated is removed during "make mrproper".
With this we are ready to implement support for include/generated
in the various architctures and in the base kernel.
