Here is a patch that adds a new -T option to genksyms for generating dumps of
the type definition that makes up the symbol version hashes. This allows to
trace modversion changes back to what caused them. The dump format is the
name of the type defined, followed by its definition (which is almost C):
s#list_head struct list_head { s#list_head * next , * prev ; }
The s#, u#, e#, and t# prefixes stand for struct, union, enum, and typedef.
The exported symbols do not define types, and thus do not have an x# prefix:
nfs4_acl_get_whotype int nfs4_acl_get_whotype ( char * , t#u32 )
The symbol type defintion of a single file can be generated with:
make fs/jbd/journal.symtypes
If KBUILD_SYMTYPES is defined, all the *.symtypes of all object files that
export symbols are generated.
The single *.symtypes files can be combined into a single file after a kernel
build with a script like the following:
for f in $(find -name '*.symtypes' | sort); do
f=${f#./}
echo "/* ${f%.symtypes}.o */"
cat $f
echo
done \
| sed -e '\:UNKNOWN:d' \
-e 's:[,;] }:}:g' \
-e 's:\([[({]\) :\1:g' \
-e 's: \([])},;]\):\1:g' \
-e 's: $::' \
$f \
| awk '
/^.#/ { if (defined[$1] == $0) {
print $1
next
}
defined[$1] = $0
}
{ print }
'
When the kernel ABI changes, diffing individual *.symtype files, or the
combined files, against each other will show which symbol changes caused the
ABI changes. This can save a tremendous amount of time.
Dump the types that make up modversions

make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F)
to get target filename without extension.
This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using:
$(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality.

This fixes one of the worst kbuild warts left - the broken dependencies used
to check and regenerate the .config file. This was done via an indirect
dependency and the .config itself had an empty command, which can cause make
not to reread the changed .config file.
Instead of this we generate now a new file include/config/auto.conf from
.config, which is used for kbuild and has the proper dependencies. It's also
the main make target now for all files generated during this step (and thus
replaces include/linux/autoconf.h).
This also means we can now relax the syntax requirements for the .config file
and we don't have to rewrite it all the time, i.e. silentoldconfig only
writes .config now when it's necessary to keep it in sync with the Kconfig
files and even this can be suppressed by setting the environment variable
KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE, so the update can (and must) be done manually.

Add -fverbose-asm to i386 Makefile rule for building .s files. This makes

genksyms needs to know when a symbol must have a "_" prefex as is
true for a few architectures.
Pass $(ARCH) as commandline argument and hardcode what architectures that
needs this info.
Previous attemt to take it from elfconfig.h was br0ken since elfconfig.h
is a generated file.

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.

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. Additionally, for better readability and
maintenance, consolidating all the escaping (single quotes, dollars,
and now sharps) was also desirable.

Move $(CC) support functions to Kbuild.include so they are available
in the kbuild files.
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

This makes things a little bit more reader friendly and gvim is less

kbuild failed to locate Makefile for external modules.
This brought to my attention how the variables for directories
have different values in different usage scenarios.
Different kbuild usage scenarios:
make - plain make in same directory where kernel source lives
make O= - kbuild is told to store output files in another directory
make M= - building an external module
make O= M= - building an external module with kernel output seperate from src
Value assigned to the different variables:
|$(src) |$(obj) |$(srctree) |$(objtree)
make |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= |reldir to k src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to output dir
make M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k src
make O= M= |abs path to src |as src |abs path to k src |abs path to k output
path to kbuild file:
make | $(srctree)/$(src), $(src)
make O= | $(srctree)/$(src)
make M= | $(src)
make O= M= | $(src)
From the table above it can be seen that the only good way to find the
home directory of the kbuild file is to locate the one of the two variants
that is an absolute path. If $(src) is an absolute path (starts with /)
then use it, otherwise prefix $(src) with $(srctree).

Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

From: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
I inadvertently built a tree as root and then rebuilt it as a user. I
got a lot of prompts ...
mv: overwrite `drivers/char/drm/drm_auth.o', overriding mode 0644?
Using mv -f fixes that.

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!
