Making gconfig fails on fedora 13 as the linker cannot resolve dlsym. Adding libdl to the link command fixes this. make shows this error :- /usr/bin/ld: scripts/kconfig/kconfig_load.o: undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libdl.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib64/libdl.so.2: could not read symbols: Invalid operation tested on x86_64 fedora 13.

2010-05-25scripts/get_maintainer.pl: default to not include unspecified tagsFlorian Mickler
This changes the default of the option --git-all-signature-types to be disabled by default. The effect being, that only certain (currently Signed-Off-By:, Acked-by: and Reviewed-By:) tags are used to get adresses of potential maintainers. Motivated is this change by the desire to not 'spam' people unnecessary: A Tested-By or a Reported-By is not ment as a hint that those people want to/are able to review patches to the code in question. In a quest to find resilient statistics for this i came up with this: I produced a list of all the tag-signers not already covered with a signed-off/acked/reviewed tag somewhere in the last year of git history. Those were 650 addresses of "assumed non-developers". And to check if those "assumed non-developers" are professional testers/reporters worth cc'ing, i then counted their total appearences in the git log: 469 were mentioned only once. 123 were mentioned twice. 38 three times 8 four times 5 six times 5 five times 1 eight times 1 fourteen times I believe this supports my thesis, that the ''non-maintainer-tags'' are not actively useful for patch-review. (except probably the guy mentioned fourteen times...) But of course one could also find arguments to poke holes in this statistics, for example does this statistic not include code-locality: A tested-by on a patch that touches some specific piece of code can be more worth than a signed-off in another part of the tree. But... let's play it safe and let's err on the "safe" side meaning to not spam those people when in doubt. We already have the signed-off's and Maintainers file. So this should be ok. And if need be, the maintainers can always forward the patch.

2010-05-25scripts/get_maintainer.pl: optionally ignore non-maintainer signaturesJoe Perches
When using --git to determine who to send a patch to, get_maintainers will currently include all signatures. This can include signers that simply report an issue or test a patch. Signers that use this tag are not necessarily good candidates to review new patches. This patch allows get_maintainers to optionally restrict output to only signatures that use Signed-off-by:, Acked-by:, or Reviewed-by:. Signed-off-by: is included because those are people who are responsible for the code. Acked-by: is questionable, but as signers that use this tag tend to be active linux gatekeepers, false positives are tolerable. Reviewed-by: is included because signers responsible for the code thought that the review feedback for a changeset by that signer was valuable. This patch has been modified from Florian's original submission to change the supported signature types to the canonical forms and use slightly different spacing. A couple of spacing issues were also corrected in the original source. The command line argument was also renamed.

It needs your first patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h.

Usage: Press <Z> to show all config symbols which have prompts. Quote Tim Bird: | I've been bitten by this numerous times. I most often | use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost | always go through a sequence of searching for the | function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's | completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. | | Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be | unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled? I'm | not a Kconfig guru... I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are enabled, so I enter the "Tracers" menu, and press <Z> to see if there is any config hidden. I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options", but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be changed by users.

2010-03-23headerdep: perlcritic warningStephen Hemminger
Minor perlcritic warning: headerdep.pl: "return" statement with explicit "undef" at line 84, column 2. See page 199 of PBP. (Severity: 5) The rationale according to PBP is that an explicit return of undef (contrary to most people's expectations) doesn't always evaluate as false. It has to with the fact that perl return value depends on context the function is called. If function is used in list context, the appropriate return value for false is an empty list; whereas in scalar context the return value for false is undefined. By just using a "return" both cases are handled. In the context of a trivial script this doesn't matter. But one script may be cut-paste into later code (most people like me only know 50% of perl), that is why perlcritic always complains Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2010-03-12scripts/kernel-doc: fix empty function description sectionRandy Dunlap
scripts/kernel-doc mishandles a function that has a multi-line function short description and no function parameters. The observed problem was from drivers/scsi/scsi_netlink.c: /** * scsi_netlink_init - Called by SCSI subsystem to intialize * the SCSI transport netlink interface * **/ kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a newline character in the Description contents. This caused output_highlight() to complain: "output_highlight got called with no args?", plus produce a perl call stack backtrace. The fix is just to ignore Description sections if they only contain "\n".

2010-03-08Revert "kbuild: specify absolute paths for cscope"Michal Marek

Given that absolute paths can be forced by make O=. cscope, change the default back to relative paths.

Better practice to use 3 arg open and local file handles. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> Acked-by: WANG Cong <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2010-03-07headers_check: fix perl warningsStephen Hemminger
According to PBP; best way practice is to use local reference for file handle and three argument open. Also perl prototypes are a mistake.
