  • These are caused by checkpatch incorrectly parsing its internal
    representation of a statement block for struct's (or anything else that is
    a statement block encapsulated in {}'s that also ends with a ';'). Fix
    this by properly parsing a statement block.

    An example:

    +struct dummy_type dummy = {
    + .foo = "baz",
    +};
    +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);
    +
    +static int dummy_func(void)
    +{
    + return -EDUMMYCODE;
    +}
    +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy_func);

    WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately \
    follow its function/variable
    #19: FILE: dummy.c:4:
    +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(dummy);

    The above warning is issued when it should not be.

  • As explained in Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt, msleep's of < 20ms
    may sleep for as long as 20ms. Caller's of msleep(1) or msleep(2), etc
    are likely not to expect this quirky behavior - warn them.

  • Make error message say 'ERROR: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL'
    rather than 'ERROR: do not initialise externals to 0 or NULL'. Makes more
    sense in the context since there is an extern keyword in C and that is a
    global declaration within the scope of the current file.

  • I've got a false positive when spaces are present at the beginning of a
    line.

    So I add this check, obviously excluding to check the lines in the middle of
    comments.

    For instance this code passes the checkpatch test:

    +struct davinci_mcbsp_data {
    + unsigned int fmt;
    + int clk_div;
    +};
    +
    +static struct davinci_mcbsp_data mcbsp_data;

    Where, before the string "int clk_div", I have 4 spaces (\040
    ascii character).

    With v2.6.34 scripts/checkpatch.pl script I get:

    scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-ASoC-DaVinci-Added-support-for-stereo-I2S.patch
    total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 201 lines checked
    0001-ASoC-DaVinci-Added-support-for-stereo-I2S.patch has no obvious style
    problems and is ready for submission.

    That is not correct. Instead with the proposed patch I get:

    scripts/checkpatch.pl 0001-ASoC-DaVinci-Added-support-for-stereo-I2S.patch
    WARNING: please, no space for starting a line,
    excluding comments

    WARNING: please, no space for starting a line,
    excluding comments
    #95: FILE: sound/soc/davinci/davinci-i2s.c:406:
    + return 0;$

    total: 0 errors, 2 warnings, 201 lines checked

    That is correct.

    This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it
    used to be. In a very annoying way.

    I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c030
    ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that
    thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but
    actively breaks them.

    The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident. Fix
    this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing
    to ask about.

    that is used by arch specific files and free up

    Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
    AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
    So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
    two assignmnets.

    Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
    without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
    from this.

  • savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
    named "defconfig".

    The config symbols are saved in the same order as
    they appear in the menu structure so it should
    be possible to map them to the relevant menus
    if desired.

    The implementation was tested against several minimal
    configs for arm which was created using brute-force.

    There was one regression related to default numbers
    which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.

    Sample:

    config FOO
    int "foo"
    default 4

    config BAR
    int "bar"
    range 0 FOO

    If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
    But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.

    This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
    and the fix was non-trivial.
    So it was documented in the code and left as is.

  • Consider following kconfig file:

    config TEST1
    bool "test 1"
    depends on TEST2

    config TEST2
    bool "test 2"
    depends on TEST1

    Previously kconfig would report:

    foo:6:error: found recursive dependency: TEST2 -> TEST1 -> TEST2

    With the following patch kconfig reports:
    foo:5:error: recursive dependency detected!
    foo:5: symbol TEST2 depends on TEST1
    foo:1: symbol TEST1 depends on TEST2

    Note that we now report where the offending symbols are defined.
    This can be a great help for complex situations involving
    several files.

  • When we add a new config symbol save the file/line
    so we later can refer to their location.

    The information is saved as a property to a config symbol
    because we may have multiple definitions of the same symbol.

  • Rename to a name that better match the other kconfig targets.

    - list new options compared to current configuration

    New options are now written to stdout so one can redirect the output.

    Do not exit with an error code if there is new options.

    These are feature changes compared to the original
    nonint_oldconfig - but as this feature has not yet been in a
    released kernel it should not matter.

  • The list of options supported by conf is growing
    and their abbreviation did not resemble anything usefull.

    So drop the single letter options in favour of long options.

    The long options are named equal to what we know from
    the make target.
    The internal implmentation was changed to match this,
    resulting in much more readable code.

    Support for short options is dropped - no one is supposed
    to call this program direct anyway.

  • There seems to be a kconfig bug due to MODULES not always being
    evaluated if no .config is found. Take the following Kconfig as an
    example:

    config MODULES
    def_bool y

    config FOO
    def_tristate m

    With no .config, the following configuration is generated:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_FOO=y

    With an empty .config, the following:

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_FOO=m

    Tristate choice statements can also exhibit the problem, due to having an
    implicit rev_dep (select) containing "m".

    The problem is that MODULES is never evaluted in conf_read_simple() unless
    there's a .config. The following patch fixes this.

  • nconfig segfaults when help text contains the character '%'. For a quick
    example, navigate to the kernel compression options and get the help for

  • …stedt/linux-2.6-trace into perf/core

    Ingo Molnar
     
  • I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have
    moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by
    recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised.
    However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future
    problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal
    code.

    This is what I originally saw:

    Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus
    contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount
    in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted
    for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount
    call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop()
    would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash.

    In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26
    relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.

  • The 'source' builtin is a bash alias to the '.' (dot) builtin. While the
    former is supported only by bash, the latter is specified in POSIX and
    works fine with all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of.

    The '$_' special parameter is specific to bash. It is partially
    supported in dash too but it always evaluates to the current script path
    (which causes the script to enter a loop recursively re-executing
    itself). This is why I have replaced the two occurences of '$_' with the
    explicit parameter.

    The 'local' builtin is another example of bash-specific code. Although
    it is supported by all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of, it is not
    part of POSIX specification and thus the code should not rely on it
    assigning a specific value to the local variable. Moreover, the 'posh'
    shell has a limited version of 'local' builtin not supporting direct
    variable assignments. Thus, I have broken one of the 'local'
    declarations down into a (non-POSIX) 'local' declaration and a plain
    (POSIX-compliant) variable assignment.

  • This makes it so "make oldconfig" really prompts for any choice where
    options that previously weren't visible just became so. Previously one
    would have to remember to go over all choice values and check whether
    some that previously couldn't be selected now can be.
