With this change, you can (and should) build with ARCH=tilepro for the
current 32-bit chips. Building with ARCH=tile continues to work, but
we've renamed the defconfig file to tilepro_defconfig for consistency.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into
a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now
if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then
the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just
waste execution time.Acked-by: Michal Marek

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
"__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.Changes to existing files:
- and changed to factor the
include of in the common header.- and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.- and were
previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now
they have the proper 64-bit contents.Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

According to Documentation/Changes, the kernel should be buildable with
GNU make 3.80+. Commit 88d7be031f9f975bb3f50a0b5ef3796a671e7edf (kbuild:
Use a single clean rule for kernel and external modules) introduced the
"$(or" construct, which requires make 3.81. This causes "make clean" to
malfunction when it is used with external modules.Replace "$(or" with an equivalent "$(if" expression, to restore backward
compatibility.Signed-off-by: Kevin Cernekee

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno- in the
cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some
other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function
cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in
the toplevel Makefile.Reported-and-tested-by: Stephen Rothwell

There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/KbuildTo use a generic file just add:
generic-y +=
For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.
The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive
the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Building a kernel with "make W=1" produces far too much noise to be
useful.Divide the warning options in three groups:
W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant
W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignoredWhen building the whole kernel, those levels produce:
W=1 - 4859 warnings
W=2 - 1394 warnings
W=3 - 86666 warningsrespectively. Warnings have been counted with Geert's script at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-log/linux-log-summary.pl
Many warnings occur from .h files so fixing one file may have a nice
effect on the total number of warnings.With these changes I am actually tempted to try W=1 now and then.
Previously there was just too much noise.Borislav:
- make the W= levels exclusive
- move very noisy and making little sense for the kernel warnings to W=3
- drop -Woverlength-strings due to useless warning message
- copy explanatory text for the different warning levels to 'make help'
- recount warnings per levelSigned-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

At the moment we have the CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS Kconfig switch,
which users can enable or disable while configuring the kernel. This
option is then used by 'make' to determine whether an extra kallsyms
pass is needed or not.However, this approach is not nice and confusing, and this patch moves
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS from Kconfig to Makefile instead. The
rationale is below.1. CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is really about the build time, not
run-time. There is no real need for it to be in Kconfig. It is
just an additional work-around which should be used only in rare
cases, when someone breaks kallsyms, so Kbuild/Makefile is much
better place for this option.
2. Grepping CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS shows that many defconfigs have
it enabled, probably not because they try to work-around a kallsyms
bug, but just because the Kconfig help text is confusing and does
not really make it clear that this option should not be used unless
except when kallsyms is broken.
3. And since many people have CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS enabled in
their Kconfig, we do might fail to notice kallsyms bugs in time. E.g.,
many testers use "make allyesconfig" to test builds, which will enable
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS and kallsyms breakage will not be noticed.To address that, this patch:
1. Kills CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS
2. Changes Makefile so that people can use "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1"
to enable the extra pass if needed. Additionally, they may define
KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS as an environment variable.
3. By default KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is disabled and if kallsyms has issues,
"make" should print a warning and suggest using KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASSSigned-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy

While changing our build system over to use the headers_install target
as part of our klibc build, the following message started showing up in
our logs:make[2]: `scripts/unifdef' is up to date.
It turns out that the build blindly invokes a recursive make on this
target, which causes make to emit this message when the target is
already up to date. This isn't seen for most targets as the rest of the
build relies primarily on the default target and on PHONY targets when
invoking make recursively.Silence the above message when building unifdef as part of
headers_install by hiding it behind a new PHONY target called
"build_unifdef" that has an empty recipe.Signed-off-by: Mike Waychison

Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build
object.The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the
process of writing their code, want to do the occasionalmake W=1 [target.o]
and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they
could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various
bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build
process.For more background information and a use case, read through this
