* kbuild: generate modules.builtinMichal Marek2009-12-127-5/+112
| | | | | | | | | | | To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y' or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in obj-Y.

* genksyms: properly consider EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL{,_GPL}()Jan Beulich2009-12-122-94/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Despite being unused these should also get a CRC calculated. Primarily I view this as a consistency thing. But I also think this is one of the reasons why __crc_* need to be weak (which I think should be avoided, and hence we should have the goal to eliminate this so that failure to calculate a proper CRC for a symbol causes the build to fail).

* unifdef: update to upstream revision 1.190Tony Finch2009-12-122-134/+213
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix handling of input files (e.g. with no newline at EOF) that could make unifdef get into an unexpected state and call abort(). The new -B option compresses blank lines around a deleted section so that blank lines around "paragraphs" of code don't get doubled. The evaluator can now handle macros with arguments, and unbracketed arguments to the "defined" operator. Add myself to MAINTAINERS for unifdef.

* kbuild: specify absolute paths for cscopeDaniel Vetter2009-12-121-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cscope doesn't hadle relative paths when cscope.out is not in $PWD. Use absolute paths when generating cscope.files, which seems to be the recommended way to generate cscope.out, anyway (at least according to cscope.sf.net). The speed and size differences are minimal, the only drawback is that the database needs to be regenerated if the source directory is moved.

* scripts/package: deb-pkg: use fakeroot if availableJonathan Nieder2009-12-121-2/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running "make deb-pkg" requires setting KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD or becoming root oneself or it errors out. Unless already running as root or KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD is already set, use fakeroot as a good default. With this patch applied, you can run "make oldconfig deb-pkg" as an ordinary user to build a binary package for an updated kernel tree and it should just work. fakeroot is too zealous by default in treating files as owned by root. Its wrapped stat() sets st_uid and st_gid to 0 for all files, which causes Git to go on a wild goose chase if CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set, checking if any file's content has changed along with its stat information. Avoid this by telling fakeroot to use the actual owner and group for preexisting files, by passing it the -u option.

* scripts/package: add KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variableJonathan Nieder2009-12-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let the deb-pkg target acquire (fake) root privileges before running commands that need them. Without such privileges, deb-pkg errors out because chown fails. The new KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD variable, if defined, is used as a command to run other commands with possibly fake elevated privileges. Since this is not needed for the tar-pkg and rpm-pkg targets, it is only used by deb-pkg. If it is not defined, the behavior is as before, and the user will have to rerun make as root. In other words, as a shortcut, instead of running 'make oldconfig && make && fakeroot -u make deb-pkg', one can use the single command 'make oldconfig deb-pkg KBUILD_PKG_ROOTCMD="fakeroot -u"'.

* scripts/package: tar-pkg: use tar --owner=rootMichal Marek2009-12-121-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the --owner= and --group= options to make sure the entries in the built tar file are owned by root. Without this change, a careless sysadmin using the tar-pkg target can easily end up installing a kernel that is writable by the unprivileged user account used to build the kernel. Test that these options are understood before using them so that non-GNU versions of tar can still be used if the operator is appropriately cautious.

* kbuild: search arch/$ARCH/include before include/Sam Ravnborg2009-12-121-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The namespace used in arch/$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. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

It replaces "echo -ne" with "/bin/echo -ne", but neither of the two are guaranteed to support the necessary arguments and necessary (hexadecimal) escape sequences. What should be used here is printf(1). The trivial patch below (on top of these kbuild changes) fixes this issue.

If unregister_netdevice_many() is called with both registered and unregistered devices, rollback_registered_many() bails out when it reaches the first unregistered device. The processing of the prior registered devices is unfinished, and the remaining devices are skipped, and possible registered netdev's are leaked/unregistered. 2. System hangs or panics depending on how the devices are passed, since when netdev_run_todo() runs, some devices were not fully processed. Tested by passing intermingled unregistered and registered vlan devices to unregister_netdevice_many() as follows: 1. dev, fake_dev1, fake_dev2: hangs in run_todo ("unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1.100 to become free. Usage count = 1") 2. fake_dev1, dev, fake_dev2: failure during de-registration and next registration, followed by a vlan driver Oops during subsequent registration.

With the EEPROM checksum check in place we can easily rule those issues out. If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead on real concrete issues. If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM feel free to apply this there too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This part was missed in "cfg80211: implement get_wireless_stats", probably because sta_set_sinfo already existed and was only handling dBm signals. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
