Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were. Fixed that.However, that left a problem with
($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to <p>, which isn't good for the
generated html output (theshould remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the
stream to its output file.Please report any problems that you (anyone) see in "highlighting" in any
output mode (text, man, html, xml).Also update copyright to include me.

This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes. Of note:- better categorisation and space checks for dual use unary/binary
operators
- warn on deprecated use of {SPIN,RW}_LOCK_UNLOCKED
- check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements
- detect DOS line endings
- detect redundant casts for kalloc()Andy Whitcroft (18):
Version: 0.10
asmlinkage is also a storage type

allow only some operators before a unary operator
parenthesised values may span line ends
add additional attribute matching
handle sparse annotations within pointer type space checks
support alternative function definition syntax for typedefs
check if/for/while with trailing ';' for hanging statements
fix output format for case checks
deprecate SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED and RW_LOCK_UNLOCKED
allow complex macros with bracketing braces
detect and report DOS line endings
fastcall is a valid function attribute
bracket spacing is ok for 'for'
categorise operators into unary/binary/definitions

Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG

External modules have in a few cases modifed gcc option
by modifying CFLAGS. This has never been documented and
was a bad practice.
With the check to use KBUILD_CFLAGS it will no longer work
so we better error out and tell what was wrong as a service
to the external module users.This check can be overruled if
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC is set to something.
Addid this possibility may allow older external
module to build without any code modifications but potentially
only loosing some un-important gcc options.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'. Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments. If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help. (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.Signed-off-by: Matej Laitl

Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the
main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE)
via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all.When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called
in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main
Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory
set to the object tree). Before this patch, when multiple make command
goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation.
With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple
commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results.I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config
targets. Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious.
Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would
be appropriate.Signed-off-by: Milton Miller

This patch updates the _shipped files for genksyms.
See previous patch for actual functional changes.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
-
Recently the __extension__ keyword has been introduced in the kernel.
Teach genksyms about this keyword so it can generate correct CRC for
exported symbols that uses a symbol marked __extension__.
For now only the typedef variant:__extension__ typedef ...
is supported.
Later we may add more variants as needed.This patch contains the actual source file changes. The
following patch will hold modifications to the generated
files (*_shipped) and only after the second patch the fix
has effect.Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

When enabling GENERATE_PARSER the genksyms Makefile
failed to create _shipped version of generated files.Modifying keywords.gperf failed to cause a rebuild

Currently scripts/ver_linux prints "Binutils" or other random
information for the version number in the "binutils" output line
on some distributions. This patch corrects that.When I initially submitted a patch to correct that, I was not aware
that the output from "ld -v" could differ as much as it turned out
it can, so my original fix turned out to not cover all bases.
This patch works correctly with all the different "ld -v" output
that people posted in replys to my first patch, so it should be a
clear win over what we have currently.Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl
