  • Running 'make clean' was quietly deleting files in Mercurial kernel
    repositories matching '.*.d', which was corrupting the tags portions of the
    repository. Spotted and fixed by several people.

  • Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
    both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
    There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
    used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

  • A recent change to the aic scsi driver removed two defines to detect
    endianness. cpp handles undefined strings as 0. As a result, the test turned
    into #if 0 == 0 and the wrong code was selected.
    Adding -Wundef to global CFLAGS will catch such errors.

  • It fixes the following error:

    We're having the following situation: There are user-space applications
    that include kernel headers directly. With a completely unconfigured
    /usr/src/linux tree, including most headers fails because essential
    files are not there:

    include/asm
    include/linux/autoconf.h
    include/linux/version.h

    So we create these files. On the other hand, we want to use
    /usr/src/linux as read-only source for building kernels or additional
    modules. Now when building a kernel with a separate output directory
    (O=), there is a check in the main makefile for the include/asm symlink.
    There is no real need for this check: if we ensure that
    $(objdir)/include/asm is always created as the patch does,
    $(srctree)/include/asm becomes irrelevant.

  • I have a single source tree which I cross compile for a couple of
    different architectures using ARHC=foo O=blah etc.

    The existing cscope target is very handy but only indexes the current
    $(ARCH), which is a pain since inevitably I'm interested in the other
    one at any given time ;-). This patch allows me to pass a list of
    architectures for cscope to index. e.g.
    make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="i386 arm" cscope

    This change also works for etags etc, and I presume it is just as useful
    there.

  • I tried the Linux Makefile 'make cscope' target, and found that the
    generated database is not compatible with 'cscope.el' under XEmacs.
    The thing is that 'cscope.el' does not allow setting the command line
    options to the 'cscope' commands it runs, and it errors with a message
    about the options not matching the ones used to generate the index.

    It turns out the cscope designers already thought of this. The
    options can be written into the "cscope.files". The included patch
    moves the "-q" and "-k" options from the 'cmd_cscope' to the
    'cmd_cscope-file', echoing them into the top of the files listing.

    Now the index is generated with the "-q" option, and when 'cscope.el'
    performs it's search, it uses that argument as well. Lookups are fast
    and everyone is happy.

  • Using the syntax:
    make dir/module.ko

    kbuild now allows one to build a module including the final link stage.
    This is usefull when one only wants to compile a single module and thus do
    not have to wait until a full kernel has finished compiling. Tested by:

  • make O=/dir TAGS

    fails with:

    MAKE TAGS
    find: security/selinux/include: No such file or directory
    find: include: No such file or directory
    find: include/asm-i386: No such file or directory
    find: include/asm-generic: No such file or directory

    The problem is in this line:
    ifeq ($(KBUILD_OUTPUT),)

    KBUILD_OUTPUT is not defined (ever) after make reruns itself. This line is
    used in the TAGS, tags, and cscope makes.

  • Frame pointers are supposed to enable debuggers to reliably tell where a
    call comes from. That is defeated by GCC's sibling call optimization (aka
    tail recursion elimination).

    This patch turns this optimization off when compiling with frame pointers.

  • The arch Makefile may override the include path order, which is used by Xen
    (and UML?) to make sure include/asm-xen is searched before
    include/asm-i386.

    The Makefile change to 2.6.12-rc4 made the top Makefile always override the
    value specified by the arch Makefile. This trivial patch makes the Xen
    kernel compile again.

  • I've noticed that, starting from linux-2.6.12-rc1, in the top Makefile the
    "cmd_tags" variable has been changed in a way incompatible with *emacs
    ctags. Since the "--extra" option exists only in "exuberant ctags", it
    should be included in the CTAGSF shell variable.

  • Move definition of NOSTDINC_FLAGS below inclusion of arch Makefile, so
    any arch specific settings to $(CC) takes effect before looking up the
    compiler include directory.

    The previous solution that replaced ':=' with '=' caused gcc to be
    invoked one additional time for each directory visited.

    This decreases kernel compile time with 0.1 second (3.6 -> 3.5 seconds) when
    running make on a fully built kernel

  • 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!
