2009-01-02Disallow gcc versions 3.{0,1}Ingo Molnar
GCC 3.0 and 3.1 are too old to build a working kernel. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> [ This check got dropped as obsolete when I simplified the gcc header inclusion mess in f153b82121b0366fe0e5f9553545cce237335175, but Willy Tarreau reports actually having those old versions still.. -Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-01-02Sanitize gcc version header includesLinus Torvalds
- include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions) - don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets released). That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!) - generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than having a mess of #if conditionals.

2007-05-09compiler: introduce __used and __maybe_unusedDavid Rientjes
__used is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for all pre-3.3 gcc compilers to suppress warnings for unused functions because perhaps they are referenced only in inline assembly. It is defined to be __attribute__((used)) for gcc 3.3 and later so that the code is still emitted for such functions. __maybe_unused is defined to be __attribute__((unused)) for both function and variable use if it could possibly be unreferenced due to the evaluation of preprocessor macros. Function prototypes shall be marked with __maybe_unused if the actual definition of the function is dependant on preprocessor macros. No update to compiler-intel.h is necessary because ICC supports both __attribute__((used)) and __attribute__((unused)) as specified by the gcc manual. __attribute_used__ is deprecated and will be removed once all current code is converted to using __used.

2007-05-07Add unitialized_var() macro for suppressing gcc warningsBorislav Petkov
Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a probable uninitialized state of a variable. Example: - spinlock_t *ptl; + spinlock_t *uninitialized_var(ptl); Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious. - Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several bytes of text. - Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes cause the `x = x' hack to stop working - Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs can easily turn it off.

2006-01-14[PATCH] Make __always_inline actually force always inliningIngo Molnar
This patch is the first in a series that tries to optimize the kernel in terms of size (and thus cache behavior, both cpu and pagecache). This first patch changes __always_inline to be a forced inline instead of the "regular" inline it was on everything except alpha. This forced inline matches the intention of the define better as a matter of documentation. There is no change in behavior by this patch, since "inline" currently is mapped to a forced inline anyway.

2006-01-08[PATCH] remove gcc-2 checksAndrew Morton
Remove various things which were checking for gcc-1.x and gcc-2.x compilers. From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Some documentation updates and removes some code paths for gcc < 3.2.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
