the obsolete PTR_RET macro

- new objdiff tool to list differences between two versions of an
object file
- A fix for scripts/bootgraph.pl"* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:

Add support to toplevel Makefile for compiling with clang, both for
HOSTCC and CC. Use cc-option to prevent gcc option from breaking clang, and
from clang options from breaking gcc.Clang 3.4 semantics are the same as gcc semantics for unsupported flags. For
unsupported warnings clang 3.4 returns true but shows a warning and gcc shows
a warning and returns false.Signed-off-by: Behan Webster

objdiff is useful when doing large code cleanups. For example, when
removing checkpatch warnings and errors from new drivers in the staging
tree.objdiff can be used in conjunction with a git rebase to confirm that
each commit made no changes to the resulting object code. It has the
same return values as diff(1).This was written specifically to support adding the skein and threefish
cryto drivers to the staging tree. I needed a programmatic way to
confirm that commits changing >90% of the lines didn't inadvertently
change the code.Temporary files (objdump output) are stored in
/path/to/linux/.tmp_objdiff
'make mrproper' will remove this directory.

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
"Updates to devicetree core code. This branch contains the following
notable changes:- add reserved memory binding
- make struct device_node a kobject and remove legacy
/proc/device-tree
- ePAPR conformance fixes
- update in-kernel DTC copy to version v1.4.0
- preparatory changes for dynamic device tree overlays
- minor bug fixes and documentation changesThe most significant change in this branch is the conversion of struct
device_node to be a kobject that is exposed via sysfs and removal of
the old /proc/device-tree code. This simplifies the device tree
handling code and tightens up the lifecycle on device tree nodes.[updated: added fix for dangling select PROC_DEVICETREE]"

Kbuild supports saving output files in a separate directory.
But the build directory must be created beforehand. For example,$ mkdir -p dir/to/store/output/files
$ make O=dir/to/store/output/files defconfigCreating a build directory automatically would be useful.

As of v3.7, the UAPI changes relocated headers around such that the
kernel version header lived in a new place.If a person is bisecting and if you go back to pre-UAPI days,
you will create an include/linux/version.h -- then if you checkout a
post-UAPI kernel, and even run "make distclean" it still won't delete
that old version file. So you get a situation like this:$ grep -R LINUX_VERSION_CODE include/
include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 200192
include/linux/version.h:#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132646The value in that second line is representative of a v2.6.38 version.
And it will be sourced/used, hence leading to strange behaviours, such
as drivers/staging content (which typically hasn't been purged of version
ifdefs) failing to build.Since it is a subtle mode of failure, lets always clobber the old
file when doing a distclean.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

According to Documentation/Changes, make 3.80 is still being supported
for building the kernel, hence make files must not make (unconditional)
use of features introduced only in newer versions. Commit 8779657d29c0
("stackprotector: Introduce CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG") however
introduced an "else ifdef" construct which make 3.80 doesn't understand.Also correct a warning message still referencing the old config option
name.Apart from that I question the use of "ifdef" here (but it was used that
way already prior to said commit): ifeq (,y) would seem more to the
point.Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
*install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of
the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be
set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not
set then it defaults to:$INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE.
This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until
things have settled down. Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly
linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move
to their own repo. Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that
time.v7: (reworked by Grant Likely)
- Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so
that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as
part of the make output.
- Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before
attempting to install
- Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be
sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory.
Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel,
I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would
rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to
rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory.
- Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the
rest of this feature.
- Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the
common dtb rulesSigned-off-by: Jason Cooper

CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y results in a .mod.c for every compiled file in the
kernel. Issuing a 'make cscope' on a compiled kernel tree results in
the cscope files containing *.mod.c files.[prarit@prarit linux]# make cscope
[prarit@prarit linux]# cat cscope.files | grep mod.c | wc -l
4807These files are not useful for cscope and should be ignored. For example,
# line filename / context / line
1 105 arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.mod.c <>
{ 0x618911fc, __VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(numa_node) },

GCC 4.9 and newer have a new warning -Wdate-time, which warns on any use
of __DATE__, __TIME__, or __TIMESTAMP__, which would make the build
non-deterministic. Now that the kernel does not use any of those
macros, turn on -Werror=date-time if available, to keep it that way.The kernel already (optionally) records this information at build time
in a single place; other kernel code should not duplicate that.Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett

when '-gdwarf-2' is on its command line (note the differece in the gcc and as
flags). This change provides the correct assembler flag to gcc, and so does
not rely on gcc to emit a flag for the assembler.Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand for Huawei, Linaro
