  • 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!
