Run "make xconfig" on a freshly untarred kernel-tree. Look at the floppy disk
icon of the qt application, that has just started: Its in a normal, active
state.
Mouse click on it: .config is being saved.
This patch series changes things so taht
after the mouse click on the floppy disk icon, the icon is greyed out.
If you mouse click on it now, nothing happens.
If you change some CONFIG_*, the floppy disk icon returns to "active state",
that is, if you mouse click it now, .config is written.
This patch:
Returns sym_change_count to reflect the .config's change state.
All read only accesses of
sym_change_count
are replaced by calls to
conf_get_changed()
.
mconfig.c is manipulated to ask for saving only when
conf_get_changed() returned true.

It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.
The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).
Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

The Kconfig help for INITRAMFS_SOURCE claims that you can specify multiple

from working.
First, we pass "file1 dir2" to the gen_initramfs_list.sh script, which it

Second, gen_initramfs_list.sh -l outputs multiple definitions for

The driver for /proc/config.gz consumes rather a lot of memory and it is in
fact possible to build it as a module.
In some ways this is a bit risky, because the .config which is used for
compiling kernel/configs.c isn't necessarily the same as the .config which was
used to build vmlinux.
But OTOH the potential memory savings are decent, and it'd be fairly dumb to
build your configs.o with a different .config.

This patch - based on concept from Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> -
makes one <ESC> a noop and pressing <ESC><ESC> will cause one step backward.

o textbox now get text to be displayed as parameter and not a file
o make sure to properly delete subwin's before main windows
o killed unused files: lxdialog.c msgbox.c
o modified return value for ESC to match direct calling
o in a few places the code has been adjusted to 80 char wide
o in textbox a small refactoring was made to make code remotely readable
o in mconf removed all unused stuff (functions/variables)

Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.
The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
eisa:sTCM5093
and the in-module alias like:
eisa:sTCM5093*
The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.
The rationale for this patch is:
a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
support, to unify driver loading
b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
(who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.
This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.
For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.
It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.
This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16
unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame
[AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description]

Add a feature check that checks that the gcc compiler has stack-protector
