2009-10-07kconfig: simplification of scripts/extract-ikconfigDick Streefland
I've rewritten the extract-ikconfig script to extract the kernel configuration from a kernel compiled with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. The main motivation for the rewrite was to remove the dependency on the external C program binoffset.c, which is compiled on the initial run. The binoffset executable is invoked with a relative path, which means that the old script can only be run from the top of the kernel tree, and only when you have write permission in the scripts directory. The new script uses tr/grep/tail/zcat only, and can be invoked from anywhere. The binoffset.c program has been removed. This script requires GNU grep 2.5 (released 2002-03-13) or higher, because the -o option was introduced in that version.

2009-08-18kconfig: have extract-ikconfig read ELF filesSteven Rostedt
It would be nice to use extract-ikconfig to find the congfig.gz in either vmlinux (not vmlinuz) or configs.ko. This patch changes the script to also be able to read ELF files directly. [ Impact: find config.gz in vmlinux and configs.ko ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-08-18kconfig: add check if end exists in extract-ikconfigSteven Rostedt
Both start and end should be tested for existence before continuing to parse the config.gz file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2008-12-03remove bashisms from scripts/extract-ikconfigWerner Almesberger
unbashify-extract-ikconfig.patch scripts/extract-ikconfig contains a lot of gratuituous bashisms, which make it fail if /bin/sh isn't bash. This patch replaces them with regular Bourne shell constructs.

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!
