  • I've rewritten the extract-ikconfig script to extract the kernel
    configuration from a kernel compiled with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. The main
    motivation for the rewrite was to remove the dependency on the
    external C program binoffset.c, which is compiled on the initial run.

    The binoffset executable is invoked with a relative path, which means
    that the old script can only be run from the top of the kernel tree,
    and only when you have write permission in the scripts directory.

    The new script uses tr/grep/tail/zcat only, and can be invoked from
    anywhere. The binoffset.c program has been removed. This script
    requires GNU grep 2.5 (released 2002-03-13) or higher, because the -o
    option was introduced in that version.

  • This reverts commit 8b249b6856f16f09b0e5b79ce5f4d435e439b9d6.

    This 'fix' is not necessary; we just need to undo the damage caused
    accidentally by Igor/Mauro in 4b29631db33292d416dc395c56122ea865e7635c
    ("V4L/DVB (9533): cx88: Add support for TurboSight TBS8910 DVB-S PCI card")

  • Rafael reported:

    I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes:

    HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw
    /home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system
    compilation terminated.
    make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1
    make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
    make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
    make: *** [all] Error 2

    where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
    with 'make O= -j5' and then is mounted over NFS read-only by
    each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
    the test boxes). Then, I cd into , run 'make modules_install' and get
    the error above.

    The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
    up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
    And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.

    There were two solutions for this issue:
    1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
    2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts

    As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
    done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.
