* kbuild: remove obsoleted scripts/reference_* filesSam Ravnborg2006-03-213-226/+0
| | | | | | | The checks performed by scripts/reference_* has been moved to modpost. Remove the files and their reference in top-level Makefile. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* kbuild: fix make help & make *pkgSam Ravnborg2006-03-211-3/+3
| | | | | | | | FORCE was not defined => error. Use kbuild infrastructure to call down to the relevant Makefile. This enables us to use the FORCE definition from kbuild. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* kconfig: fix time ordering of writes to .kconfig.d and include/linux/autoconf.hJan Beulich2006-03-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Since .kconfig.d is used as a make dependency of include/linux/autoconf.h, it should be written earlier than the header file, to avoid a subsequent rebuild to consider the header outdated.

* Kconfig: remove the CONFIG_CC_ALIGN_* optionsAdrian Bunk2006-03-122-44/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I don't see any use case for the CONFIG_CC_ALIGN_* options: - they are only available if EMBEDDED - people using EMBEDDED will most likely also enable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE - the default for -Os is to disable alignment In case someone is doing performance comparisons and discovers that the default settings gcc chooses aren't good, the only sane thing is to discuss whether it makes sense to change this, not through offering options to change this locally.

* kbuild: Fix bug in crc symbol generating of kernel and modulesLuke Yang2006-03-082-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c uses hardcoded "__crc_" prefix for crc symbols in kernel and modules. The prefix should be replaced by "MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##__crc_" otherwise there will be warnings when MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is not NULL. I am sorry my last patch for this issue is actually wrong.

* kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behaviorPaul Smith2006-03-0625-75/+144
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make. Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time, even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make. For more details on the incorrect behavior, see: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html Changes in this patch: - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY. - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly. - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether targets are up-to-date or not.

* kbuild: kill false positives from section mismatch warnings for powerpcSam Ravnborg2006-03-051-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building an allmodconfig kernel for ppc64 revealed a number of false positives - originally reported by Andrew Morton. This patch removes most if not all false positives for ppc64: Section .opd The .opd section contains function descriptors at least for ppc64. So ignore it for .init.text (was ignored for .exit.text). See description of function descriptors here: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi-1.7.html Section .toc1 ppc64 places some static variables in .toc1 - ignore the. Section __bug_tabe BUG() and friends uses __bug_table. Ignore warnings from that section.

* kbuild: small update of allnoconfig descriptionJesper Juhl2006-02-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 'allnoconfig' is described by 'make help' as a "minimal config", that's not strictly correct. To be pedantic, a minimal config would be one where EMBEDDED was set to Y and most things therein disabled etc. Simply answering 'no' to all options does not give a minimal config. A better description of allnoconfig is that it answers all options with 'no'. This patch updates the description.

* kbuild: fix mkmakefileJan Beulich2006-02-191-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With the current way of generating the Makefile in the output directory for builds outside of the source tree, specifying real targets (rather than phony ones) doesn't work in an already (partially) built tree, as the stub Makefile doesn't have any dependency information available. Thus, all targets where files may actually exist must be listed explicitly and, due to what I'd call a make misbehavior, directory targets must then also be special cased.

| | | | | | | | | | | | While the recent change to also escape # symbols when storing C-file compilation command lines was helpful, it should be in effect for all command lines, as much as the dollar escaping should be in effect for C-source compilation commands.

In addition the following was done: o as-option documented in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt o Moved documentation to new section to match new scope of functions o added cc-ifversion used to conditionally select a text string dependent on actual $(CC) version o documented cc-ifversion o change so Kbuild.include is read before the kbuild file Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stageSam Ravnborg2006-02-192-0/+268
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

You can then do: make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / <= will build all .o files and link foo.o make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` foo.ko <= will build the module and do the modpost step to create foo.ko The above will also work if the external module is placed in a subdirectory using a hirachy of kbuild files.

Failing to include these causes buffers to be sized too small, which causes slab corruption when we later convert AML to resources and run off the end of the buffer.
