eedc9d83ea kbuild: fix headers_exports with boolean expression
When we had code like this in a header unifdef failed to
deduct that the expression was always false - and we had code exported
that was not intended for userspace.

#if defined(__KERNEL__) && !defined(__ASSEMBLY__)
  int a;
#endif

This commit implment support in unidef which allows it to work out if
an #if expression always evaluates true or false for symbols which
are being undefined/always defined.

The patch is slightly more complicated than I'd hoped because unifdef
needs to see lines fully evaluated - doing otherwise causes it to
mark the line as "dirty" and copy it over no matter what.

1581c1cede scripts/headers_check.pl: correct RE in header CONFIG leak check
Correct the regular expression in scripts/headers_check.pl to include '_'
as a valid character in the class; otherwise, the check will report a
"leaked" symbol of CONFIG_A_B_C as merely CONFIG_A.

This patch will make no difference whatsoever in the current kernel tree
as the call to the perl routine that does that check is currently
commented out:

                &check_include();
                &check_asm_types();
                &check_sizetypes();
                &check_prototypes();
                # Dropped for now. Too much noise &check_config();

However, I noticed that problem when I was building the yum downloadable
kernel source rpm for fedora 11 (beta), which *does* run that check, and
that's where the problem became obvious.

Regardless of KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG, the filename written as a Make target

4964451a32 kbuild, deb-pkg: pass Debian maintainer script parameters to packaging hook scripts
The Debian packaging scripts created by the deb-pkg target do not pass
on the standard Debian maintainer script parameters to hook scripts,
which means that those scripts cannot tell whether they are being called
during e.g. install vs. upgrade, or removal vs. purge of the package.

As there are several variantions in how hook scripts are called from
kernel packages, we pass the parameters in the environment variable
DEB_MAINT_PARAMS rather than as extra arguments.

Bump version of builddep script to 1.3.

028ecebdd8 kbuild, modpost: fix "unexpected non-allocatable" warning with SUSE gcc
Jean reported that he saw one warning for each module like the one below:
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section.

The warning appeared with the improved version of the
check of the flags in the sections.

That check already ignored sections named ".comment" - but SUSE store
additional info in the comment section and has named it in a SUSE
specific way. Therefore modpost failed to ignore the section.

The fix is to extend the pattern so we ignore all sections
that start with the name ".comment.".

9fffb55f66 Move dtc and libfdt sources from arch/powerpc/boot to scripts/dtc
The powerpc kernel always requires an Open Firmware like device tree
to supply device information.  On systems without OF, this comes from
a flattened device tree blob.  This blob is usually generated by dtc,
a tool which compiles a text description of the device tree into the
flattened format used by the kernel.  Sometimes, the bootwrapper makes
small changes to the pre-compiled device tree blob (e.g. filling in
the size of RAM).  To do this it uses the libfdt library.

Because these are only used on powerpc, the code for both these tools
is included under arch/powerpc/boot (these were imported and are
periodically updated from the upstream dtc tree).

However, the microblaze architecture, currently being prepared for
merging to mainline also uses dtc to produce device tree blobs.  A few
other archs have also mentioned some interest in using dtc.
Therefore, this patch moves dtc and libfdt from arch/powerpc into
scripts, where it can be used by any architecture.

The vast bulk of this patch is a literal move, the rest is adjusting
the various Makefiles to use dtc and libfdt correctly from their new
locations.

52dc5aec9f kernel-doc: restrict syntax for private: and public:
scripts/kernel-doc can (incorrectly) delete struct members that are
surrounded by /* ...  */ <struct members> /* ...  */ if there is a /*
private: */ comment in there somewhere also.

Fix that by making the "/* private:" only allow whitespace between /* and
"private:", not anything/everything in the world.

This fixes some erroneous kernel-doc warnings that popped up while
processing include/linux/usb/composite.h.

b614a697dc kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw"
When you put
  .section ".foo"
in an assembly file instead of
  .section "foo", "ax"
, one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an
ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela().
But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that
has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated
sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.

On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one:
WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name.

So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular
pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section
flags.

Correct naming is .head.text.

a182ad3d0f kbuild: fix scripts/setlocalversion with git
When using trees like wireless-testing, which have untagged tags,
scripts/setlocalversion does not display any git indication for
localversion.

This patch fixes it: If git is available, but no usable tag is found,
it uses -g${head}. It skips the detection of unanottated tags via
git name-rev.

99e3a1eb3c kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwin
While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers).  This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.

We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.

The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers.  When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.

Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.

Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux.  Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()

720097d895 kbuild: introduce subdir-ccflags-y
Following patch introduce support for setting options
to gcc that has effect for current directory and all
subdirectories.

The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that
decide to cover all files with -Werror.
Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their
Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so
as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.

Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such
as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single
line to net/Makefile.
