  • Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build
    object.

    The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
    process of writing their code, want to do the occasional

    make W=1 [target.o]

    and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
    could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
    bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
    process.

    For more background information and a use case, read through this
    thread: http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitors&m=129802065918147&w=2

  • Usefull if building for sparc64 userland, because the
    sparc and sparc64 userlands use the same 64-bit kernel,
    making it impossible to always select the correct userland
    architecture for the resulting debian package.

    Might also be usefull, if you want a i386 userland with a amd64 kernel.

    Example usage:
    make KBUILD_DEBARCH=i386 deb-pkg

  • It is now possible to assign options to AS and CC
    on the command line - which is only used for built-in code.

    {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile
    in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
    additional options to AS, CC without overriding
    the original value.

    Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL
    that is used by arch specific files and free up
    {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on
    the command line.

    All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

  • It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD
    on the command line - which is only used when building modules.

    {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile
    in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
    additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules
    without overriding the original value.

    Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE
    that is used by arch specific files and free up
    {A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on
    the command line.

    All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

    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.

  • To make it easier for module-init-tools and scripts like mkinitrd to
    distinguish builtin and missing modules, install a modules.builtin file
    listing all builtin modules. This is done by generating an additional
    config file (tristate.conf) with tristate options set to uppercase 'Y'
    or 'M'. If we source that config file, the builtin modules appear in
    obj-Y.

  • Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
    installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
    to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

    With this patch we are now more consistent across
    different architectures - they did not all support use
    of CROSS_COMPILE.

    The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
    to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
    just because we change toolchain.

    The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
    that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
    longer be installable.
    [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

    This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

    0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
    ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

    The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
    looks obvious.

  • This patch reintroduce the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/TAGS/
    cscope targets. The Kbuild previously has this feature, but after
    moving the targets into scripts/tags.sh, ALLSOURCE_ARCHS disappears.

    It's something like this:

    $ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags cscope
