Pull two x86 kernel build changes from Ingo Molnar:
"The first change modifies how 'make oldconfig' works on cross-bitness
situations on x86. It was felt the new behavior of preserving the
bitness of the .config is more logical. This is a leftover of the
merge.
The second change eliminates a Perl warning. (There's another, more
complete fix resulting of this warning fix, which second fix in flight
to you via the kbuild tree, which will remove the timeconst.pl script
altogether.)"

timeconst.pl: Eliminate Perl warning
x86: Default to ARCH=x86 to avoid overriding CONFIG_64BIT
|
|
It is easy to waste a bunch of time when one takes a 32-bit .config
from a test machine and try to build it on a faster 64-bit system, and
its existing setting of CONFIG_64BIT=n gets *changed* to match the
build host. Similarly, if one has an existing build tree it is easy
to trash an entire build tree that way.
This is because the default setting for $ARCH when discovered from
'uname' is one of the legacy pre-x86-merge values (i386 or x86_64),
which effectively force the setting of CONFIG_64BIT to match. We should
default to ARCH=x86 instead, finally completing the merge that we
started so long ago.
This patch preserves the behaviour of the legacy ARCH settings for commands
such as:
make ARCH=x86_64 randconfig
make ARCH=i386 randconfig
... since making the value of CONFIG_64BIT actually random in that situation
is not desirable.
In time, perhaps we can retire this legacy use of the old ARCH= values.
We already have a way to override values for *any* config option, using
$KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG, so it could be argued that we don't necessarily need
to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} around as a special case just for overriding
CONFIG_64BIT.
We'd probably at least want to add a way to override config options from
the command line ('make CONFIG_FOO=y oldconfig') before we talk about doing
that though.

Pull kbuild fixes from Michal Marek:
"Here are two fixes I intended to send after v3.6-rc7, but failed to do
so. So please pull them for v3.7-rc1 and they will be picked up by
stable.
The first one fixes gcc -x <language> syntax in various build-time
tests, which icecream and possible other gcc wrappers did not
understand (and yes, icecream is going to be fixed as well).
The second one fixes make tar-pkg so that unpacking the tarball does
not replace the /lib -> /usr/lib symlink on recent Fedora releases."
* 'rc-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax
kbuild: Do not package /boot and /lib in make tar-pkg
|
|
The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.
This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.
Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

Pull kbuild fixes from Michal Marek:
"There are two more kbuild fixes for 3.6.
One fixes a race between x86's archscripts target and the rule
(re)building scripts/basic/fixdep. The second is a fix for the
previous attempt at fixing make firmware_install with make 3.82.

x86/kbuild: archscripts depends on scripts_basic
firmware: fix directory creation rule matching with make 3.80
|
|
While building the SUSE kernel packages, which build the scripts,
make clean, and then build everything, we have been running into spurious
build failures. We tracked them down to a simple dependency issue:
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/tools
CLEAN scripts/basic
$ cp patches/config/x86_64/desktop .config
$ make archscripts
HOSTCC arch/x86/tools/relocs
/bin/sh: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/tools/relocs] Error 1
make[2]: *** [archscripts] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
This was introduced by commit
6520fe55 (x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs),
which added the archscripts dependency to archprepare.
This patch adds the scripts_basic dependency to the x86 archscripts.

On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes. However,
this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except
in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry
on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which
means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack
*mis*aligned!
gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this
and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions.
Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant,
but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is
passed on the same command line.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.
In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.
The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]

On gccs that support AVX it's a good idea to disable that too, similar to
how SSE2, SSE1 etc. are already disabled. This prevents the compiler
from generating AVX ever implicitely.

Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls,
is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.
This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
the near future.
This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
the same mechanism.

Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:
make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install
With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.
The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]
This patch undos what Ian did in commit:
0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46
("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")
The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build
time.
When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86
instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux.
The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder
code and check there are no differences.

Add another option when selecting CPU family so the kernel can be
optimized for Intel Atom CPUs. If GCC supports tuning options for
Intel Atom they will be used.

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.
Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.
Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

It is common to use "make install" in restricted environments which
differ from the one which was actually used to build the kernel. In
such environments it is highly undesirable to trigger a rebuild of any
part of the system. Worse, the rebuild may be spurious, triggered by
differences in the environment.

Impact: cleanup
Instead of using CLEAN_FILES in arch/x86/Makefile, add generated files
to targets in arch/x86/boot/Makefile, so they will get naturally
cleaned up by "make clean".

Impact: cleanup
Remove targets that were used for zImage only, and Makefile
infrastructure that was there to support the zImage/bzImage split.

Impact: no default -fno-stack-protector if stackp is enabled, cleanup
Stackprotector make rules had the following problems.
* cc support test and warning are scattered across makefile and
kernel/panic.c.
* -fno-stack-protector was always added regardless of configuration.
Update such that cc support test and warning are contained in makefile
and -fno-stack-protector is added iff stackp is turned off. While at
it, prepare for 32bit support.

All subarchitectures but Voyager have been converted. Voyager will be
done later or will be removed.

Remove remaining bits of the subarchitecture code. Now that all the
special platforms are runtime probed and runtime handled, we can remove
these facilities.
