  • 852d21ae1   docs: add back 'Documentation/Changes' file (as symlink) ... Browse Code »

    Jaegeuk Kim reports that the debian kernel package build gets confused
    by the lack of Documentation/Changes file. We also refer to that path
    name in ver_linux and various how-to files and Kconfig files.

    The file got renamed away in commit 186128f75392 ("docs-rst: add
    documents to development-process"), and as Jaegeuk Kim points out, the
    commit message for that change says "use symlinks instead of renames",
    but then the commit itself actually does renames after all.

    Maybe we should do the other files too, but for now this just adds the
    minimal symlink back to the historical name, so that people looking for
    Documentation/Changes will actually find what they are looking for, and
    the debian scripts continue to work.

    Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented
    by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line. The result looks
    a little less weird and is less verbose.

    Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and
    are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation.

    It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file.
    We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on
    Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo
    directory.

  • 81f10d199   Documentation/Changes: add minimal requirements for documentation build ... Browse Code »

    As discussed at linux-doc ML, the best is to keep all documents
    backward compatible with Sphinx version 1.2, as it is the latest
    version found on some distros like Debian.

    All books currently support it.

    Please notice that, while it mentions the eventual need of
    XeLaTex and texlive to build pdf files, this is not a minimal
    requirement, as one could just be interested on building html
    documents. Also, identifying the minimal requirements for
    texlive packages is not trivial, as each distribution seems to
    use different criteria on grouping LaTex functionalities.

    While here, update the current kernel version to 4.x.

  • 283e8ba2d   MODSIGN: Change from CMS to PKCS#7 signing if the openssl is too old ... Browse Code »

    The sign-file.c program actually uses CMS rather than PKCS#7 to sign a file
    since that allows the target X.509 certificate to be specified by
    subjectKeyId rather than by issuer + serialNumber.

    However, older versions of the OpenSSL crypto library (such as may be found
    in CentOS 5.11) don't support CMS. Assume everything prior to
    OpenSSL-1.0.0 doesn't support CMS and switch to using PKCS#7 in that case.

    Further, the pre-1.0.0 OpenSSL only supports PKCS#7 signing with SHA1, so
    give an error from the sign-file script if the caller requests anything
    other than SHA1.

    The compiler gives the following error with an OpenSSL crypto library
    that's too old:

    HOSTCC scripts/sign-file
    scripts/sign-file.c:23:25: fatal error: openssl/cms.h: No such file or directory
    #include

  • 3f1d44ae6   Documentation/Changes: Now need OpenSSL devel packages for module signing ... Browse Code »

    The module signing script (sign-file) used to be a wrapper around the
    openssl program. It has now been replaced by a C program that uses the
    crypto library from the OpenSSL package meaning that the OpenSSL devel
    packages are necessary to provide the devel library link and the header
    files.

    This would be openssl-devel on Fedora and libssl-dev on Debian.

  • c8c3f7d62   Documentation/Changes: clean up mcelog paragraph ... Browse Code »

    The paragraph on mcelog currently describes kernel v2.6.31. In that
    kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since
    v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to
    process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this
    "document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of
    software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that
    situation.

    That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump,
    and was based even then on older versions. Some of it is just obsolete,
    and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and
    should be updated to 3.0.

    Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific.

    * grub2 doesn't have a 'grub' binary
