f606ddf42f remove the v850 port
Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists
since at least kernel 2.6.19.

There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable
state.

This patch therefore removes the v850 port.

If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be
available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to
reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

d35cb360c2 markers: fix duplicate modpost entry
When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
when a markers was changed.  This problem is present since
scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit
b2e3e658b3

It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.

I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

4d7365d664 kbuild: ignore powerpc specific symbols in modpost
Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> wrote:
We have a case in powerpc in which we want to link some library
routines with all module objects.  The routines are intended for
handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having
them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to
link the same "library" code into the kernel).

Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail
to build modules with the added register save/restore module.

There were two obvious solutions:
1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage
2) To ignore the symbols in modpost

Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate
linking stage for single file modules.

This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc.

The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named:
_restgpr_*, _savegpr_*, _rest32gpr_*, _save32gpr_*

c45dcabd26 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.19
This version is a bit of a whopper.  This version brings a few new checks,
improvements to a number of checks mostly through modifications to the
way types are parsed, several fixes to quote/comment handling, as well as
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

Of note:
 - return is not a function and is now reported,
 - preprocessor directive detection is loosened to match C99 standard,
 - we now intuit new type modifiers, and
 - comment handling is much improved

Andy Whitcroft (18):
      Version: 0.19
      fix up a couple of missing newlines in reports
      colon to parenthesis spacing varies on asm
      values: #include is a preprocessor statement
      quotes: fix single character quotes at line end
      add typedef exception for the non-pointer "function types"
      kerneldoc parameters must be on one line, relax line length
      types: word boundary is not always required
      improved #define bracketing reports
      uninitialized_var is an annotation not a function name
      possible types: add possible modifier handling
      possible types: fastcall is a type modifier
      types: unsigned is not a modifier on all types
      static/external initialisation to zero should allow modifiers
      checkpatch: fix recognition of preprocessor directives -- part 2
      comments: fix inter-hunk comment tracking
      return is not a function
      do not report include/asm/foo.h use in include/linux/foo.h

96d97f262a kbuild: fix $(src) assignmnet with external modules
When we introduced support for KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
we started to include the externam module's kbuild
file when doing the final modpost step.

As external modules often do:
ccflags-y := -I$(src)

We had problems because $(src) was unassinged and
gcc then used the next parameter for -I resulting in
strange build failures.

Fix is to assign $(src) and $(obj) when building
external modules.

656ee82cc8 kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o option
We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a
way to remove them if needed.

With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding
the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each
and every function is ugly.

Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg
to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward.

This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with
CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o.  This allows developers to prevent certain
CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do

CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg

to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory.

Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

[1] - what David Miller called the workaronud to remove -pg

Allow for unnamed bit-fields and skip them instead of printing an
erroneous warning message for them, such as:

Warning(include/asm-s390/cio.h:103): No description found for parameter 'u32'

which contains:

struct tm_scsw {
	u32 :1;

aab34ac858 kbuild: filter away debug symbols from kernel symbols
Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>
reported that he saw a lot of symbols like this:

0000000000000b24 N DW.aio.h.903a6d92.2
0000000000000bce N DW.task_io_accounting.h.8d8de327.0
0000000000000bec N DW.hrtimer.h.c23659c6.0

in his System.map / kallsyms output.

Simple solution is to skip all debugging
symbols (they are marked 'N').

fd1db0a313 kbuild: disable modpost warnings for linkonce sections
Disable modpost warnings for linkonce sections

My build gives lots of warnings like

WARNING: sound/core/snd.o (.gnu.linkonce.wi.mpspec_def.h.30779716): unexpected section name.
The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.

But for .linkonce. duplicated sections are actually ok and expected.
So just disable the warning for this case.

ac55182899 modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard
Not all device types need a wildcard at the end of their module
aliases. In particular, for i2c module aliases, the trailing wildcard
is not only unneeded, it could also cause the wrong driver to be
loaded.

As I2C devices have no IDs, i2c module aliases are simple, arbitrary
device names. For example:

$ /sbin/modinfo lm90
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.25-git18/kernel/drivers/hwmon/lm90.ko
author:         Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
description:    LM90/ADM1032 driver
license:        GPL
vermagic:       2.6.25-git18 mod_unload
depends:        hwmon
alias:          i2c:lm90*
alias:          i2c:adm1032*
alias:          i2c:lm99*
alias:          i2c:lm86*
alias:          i2c:max6657*
alias:          i2c:adt7461*
alias:          i2c:max6680*
$

This would cause trouble if one I2C chip name matches the beginning of
another I2C chip name and both chips are supported by different
drivers. For example, an i2c device named lm9042 would cause the lm90
driver to be loaded, while it doesn't support that device. This case
has yet to be seen in practice, but still, I'd like to fix it now. The
cleanest fix is to remove the trailing wildcard from i2c module aliases.

Here's a patch doing this.

Not all device type aliases need a trailing wildcard, in particular
the i2c aliases don't. Don't add a wildcard by default in do_table(),
instead let each device type handler add it if needed.

I have tested types acpi, dmi, eisa, i2c, ide, ieee1394, input, pci,
pcmcia, platform, pnp, scsi, serio, ssb and usb. Other types (ccw, of,
vio, parisc, sdio and virtio) are untested.

  "When I wrote this initially, it was a mistake to add a Changelog in
   the first place, but I didn't know better at the time.

   If you're going to make changes to this file, please remove all the
   Changelog, instead of adding more entries to it.  The 'Changelog'
   should be kept by the version control system, and not the source code

d2653e9273 i2c: Add support for device alias names
Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
supported.

9c9ba34ee3 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.18
This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of
new checks.

Of note:
 - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external
   assignments,
 - printf format strings including %L are reported,
 - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had
   temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to
   the loss of its test.

Andy Whitcroft (8):
      Version: 0.18
      false should trip 0 assignment checks
      tests: reinstate missing tests
      tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test
      fix extern checks for variables
      check for and report %Lu, %Ld, and %Li
      ensure we only start a statement on lines with some content
      extern spacing

171ae1a491 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.17
This version brings improvements to external declaration detection, fixes to
quote tracking, fixes to unary tracking, some clarification of wording, and
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

Of note:
 - much better unary tracking across preprocessor directives
 - UTF8 checks highlight the character at fault
 - widening of mutex detection

Andy Whitcroft (17):
      Version: 0.17
      values: __attribute__ carries through the previous type
      quotes: should only follow "positive" lines
      clarify the indent tabs over spaces wording
      loosen NR_CPUS check for array range initialisers
      detect external function declarations without an extern prefix
      function declaration arguments should be with the identifier
      DEFINE_MUTEX should report in line with struct mutex
      NR_CPUS is valid in preprocessor statements
      comment detection should not start on the @@ line
      types: add support for #undef
      tighten mutex/completion reports to usage
      allow export of function pointers
      values: preprocessor #define is out of line maintain values
      values: #define does not always have parentheses
      unary '*' may be const
      utf8 checks should report location of the invalid character

Wolfram Sang (1):
      make checkpatch.pl really skip <asm/irq.h>
