  • This reverts the Linux for Workgroups thing. And no, before somebody
    asks, we're not doing Linux95. Not for a few years, at least.

    Sure, the flag added some color to the logo, and could have remained as
    a testament to my leet gimp skills. But no. And I'll do this early, to
    avoid the chance of forgetting when I'm doing the actual rc1 release on
    the road.

  • This reverts commit d2aae8477cd00325bb7c7c7e95be488088900c48.

    It is completely and utterly broken. Module install should not build
    any files, and adding broken dependencies to "help" it build files is
    complete and utter sh*t.

    The kernel should not be built by root, and "make install" and "make
    module_install" (that for obvious reasons need to be run as root)
    absolutely must not build any files. They should only ever copy the
    already-built files over.

    So having dependencies for the install targets is wrong, wrong, wrong.

    If you try to install a kernel without building it first, you *should*
    get errors. The build system shouldn't try to help root build the files.

  • The following issue can be reproduced with Linus' tree on
    an x86_64 server.

    >+ cp /home/user/rpmbuild-test/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.9.2.x86_64/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.2
    >cp: missing destination file operand after
    >/home/user/rpmbuild-test/BUILDROOT/kernel-3.9.2-1.x86_64/boot/vmlinuz-3.9.2'
    >Try `cp --help' for more information.
    >error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.R4o0iI (%install)

    Here are the commands to reproduce:

    make defconfig
    make rpm-pkg

    Use the resulting src rpm to build as follows:

    mkdir ~/rpmbuild-test
    cd ~/rpmbuild-test
    rpmbuild --rebuild --define "_topdir `pwd`" -vv ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/kernel-3.10.0_rc1+-1.src.rpm

    The issue is because the %install script uses $KBUILD_IMAGE and it hasn't
    been set since it is only available in the kbuild system and not in the
    %install script.

    This patch adds a Makefile target to emit the image_name that can be used
    and modifies the mkspec to use the dynamic name in %install.

  • gcc-4.7 and higher add a lot of false positive warnings about
    potential uses of uninitialized warnings, but only when optimizing
    for size (-Os). This is the default when building allyesconfig,
    which turns on CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

    In order to avoid getting a lot of patches that initialize such
    variables and accidentally hide real errors along the way, let's
    just turn off this warning on the respective gcc versions
    when building with size optimizations. The -Wmaybe-uninitialized
    option was introduced in the same gcc version (4.7) that is now
    causing the false positives, so there is no effect on older compilers.

    A side effect is that when building with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE,
    we might now see /fewer/ warnings about possibly uninitialized
    warnings than with -O2, but that is still much better than seeing
    warnings known to be bogus.

  • The source tree can contain lots of uninteresting data like tag or
    cscope files, packaging which slows down make rpm needlessly. It can
    also break the build, if the tree contains an unrelated file named
    *.spec. The downside of this change is that new subdirectories have to
    be added to the KBUILD_ALLDIRS variable in the top-level Makefile. The
    upside is that the behavior is more predictable.
