  • A few modifications done for consistency, such as adding the shell
    prompt for command line examples and trailing slash for directories.
    Also corrects the module include header and fixes a few grammar
    issues that I introduced.

  • This patch adds a new (Kbuild) Makefile variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS.
    The space separated list of file names assigned to KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
    is used when calling scripts/mod/modpost during stage 2 of the Kbuild
    process for non-kernel-tree modules.

  • With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain
    symbol information from a second external module when a
    external module is build.
    The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but
    that may be impractical in certain cases.
    With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one
    external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available
    for another external module.

    Updated documentation in Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt

  • Support building individual files when dealing with separate modules.
    So say you have a module named "foo" which consist of two .o files bar.o
    and fun.o.

    You can then do:
    make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.o
    make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.lst
    make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` bar.i
    make -C $KERNELSRC M=`pwd` / for initial feature
    request / bug report.

  • First off, thanks for the kbuild docs, they are very useful! Second,
    I've attached a patch to modules.txt (from 2.6.14.2) with a "compile"
    fix to a Makefile example, and some trivial spelling/grammar nits.
    Please let me know if you want the patch in some other format (eg not
    MIME), or if I should go bother someone else about it.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
