  • Now when kbuild passes KBUILD_MODNAME with "" do not __stringify it when
    used. Remove __stringnify for all users.
    This also fixes the output of:

    $ ls -l /sys/module/
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 pcmcia
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 pcmcia_core
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 "processor"
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 "psmouse"

    The quoting of the module names will be gone again.
    Thanks to GregKH + Kay Sievers for reproting this.

  • Currently scripts/setlocalversion is a Perl script that tries to figure
    out the current git commit ID of a repo without using git. It also
    imports Digest::MD5 without using it and generally is too big for the
    small task it does. :] And it always reports a git ID, even when the
    HEAD is tagged -- this is a bug.

    This patch replaces it with a Bourne Shell script that uses git
    commands to do the same. I can't come up with a scenario where someone
    would use a git repo and refuse to install git core at the same time,
    so I think it's reasonable to assume git is available.

    The new script also reports uncommitted changes by adding -git_dirty to
    the version string. Obviously you can't see from that _what_ has been
    changed from the last commit, so it's more of a reminder that you
    forgot to commit something.

    The script is easily extensible: simply add a check for Mercurial (or
    whatever) below the git check.

    Note: the script doesn't print a newline char anymore. That's only
    because it was easier to implement it that way, not a feature (or bug).
    'make kernelrelease' doesn't care.

  • Update modules.txt with info how to build external modules
    with files in several directories.
    The question popped up on lkml often enough to warrant this,
    let's see if people read this stuff - or google hits it.
