  • a7ddcea58   Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/ ... Browse Code »

    This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
    and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
    way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.

    The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
    in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
    usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
    the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
    a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
    anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)

    A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
    needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
    it is time to just throw them out.

    A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
    counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
    is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

    List of outdated 00-INDEX:
    Documentation: (4/10)
    Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
    Documentation/timers: (1/0)
    Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
    Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
    Documentation/locking: (0/1)
    Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
    Documentation/power: (1/1)
    Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
    Documentation/arm: (1/0)
    Documentation/x86: (0/9)
    Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
    Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
    Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
    Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
    Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
    Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
    Documentation/spi: (1/0)
    Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
    Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
    Documentation/fb: (0/1)
    Documentation/block: (0/1)
    Documentation/networking: (6/37)
    Documentation/vm: (1/3)

    Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
    are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
    00-INDEX).

    I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
    but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
    we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
    if we just want to delete them anyway.

    As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
    see where the discussion is going.

  • 35db7e94c   README: Delete obsolete i386 info + update arch/i386/ paths ... Browse Code »

    Support for i386 was removed in v3.8, delete the paragraph that says
    processor types above 386 won't work on that architecture. It's obsolete
    information and potentially confusing. Also change a couple of
    "arch/i386/" paths to one that exists now, using "arch/x86/" instead.

    Someone (over a year ago :-p) asked me to document localmodconfig in the
    README file in the source code. I thought it was a good idea but other
    things were more important and I simply forgot about it. Well, I
    stumbled on the email asking me about this and I'm sending it out now.

    Create a kconfig user assistance guide, with a few tips and hints
    about using menuconfig, xconfig, and gconfig.

    Mostly contains user interface, environment variables, and search topics,
    along with mini.config/custom.config usage.

  • 6840999b1   x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config ... Browse Code »

    Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
    all.config.

    For a fix the diffstat is nice:
    6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

    The patch reverts these commits:
    - 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set
    config symbol from environment variable")
    - 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
    set 64BIT with all*config targets")

    Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
    the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
    not needed.

    With this patch we have following behaviour:

    # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
    option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
    =====================================================
    ./. | 32bit | 64bit
    ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
    ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
    ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit

    The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
    precedence over the configuration.

    So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
    no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
    be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
    other way around.

    This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
    suprises here.

    make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
    the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
    and 64-bit using menuconfig.

  • 2a113281f   kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets ... Browse Code »

    The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
    value of CONFIG_64BIT.

    This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
    allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
    make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
    make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n

    To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
    config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

    620034c84d1d939717bdfbe02c51a3fee43541c3), that made some corrections to the
    README file, accidentally listed the Cris architecture twice. Whoops.

    This patch removes the duplicate.
