  • The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
    Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
    even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both
    the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.

    For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:

    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html

    Changes in this patch:
    - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
    - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
    - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
    targets are up-to-date or not.

  • This was causing some ordering problems. Remove the up-front evaluation
    and just revaluate the compiler version each time we need it.

    (The up-front evaluation was problematic because some architectures modify
    the value of $(CC)).

  • When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
    chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
    include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
    With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
    the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare

    The dependency chain looks like this now:

    prepare
    |
    +--> prepare0
    |
    +--> archprepare
    |
    +--> scripts_basic
    +--> prepare1
    |
    +---> prepare2
    |
    +--> prepare3

    So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
    This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
    are all updated before archprepare is processed.

    prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
    actions performed by archprepare.

    The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
    likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.
    Updated Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

  • 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!
