2010-08-06kconfig: fix make oldconfigSam Ravnborg
Linus wrote: This seems to make "make oldconfig" a _lot_ more verbose than it used to be. In a very annoying way. I just did a quick git bisect. It's introduced by commit 4062f1a4c030 ("kconfig: use long options in conf") by Sam Ravnborg. Apparently that thing is totally buggy, and doesn't just change the option names, but actively breaks them. The old behaviour (from years ago) were reintroduced by accident. Fix this so we are back to the version that are silent if there is nothing to ask about.

Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL that is used by arch specific files and free up {A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on the command line.

2010-08-03kconfig: add savedefconfigSam Ravnborg
savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file named "defconfig". The config symbols are saved in the same order as they appear in the menu structure so it should be possible to map them to the relevant menus if desired. The implementation was tested against several minimal configs for arm which was created using brute-force. There was one regression related to default numbers which had their valid range further limited by another symbol. Sample: config FOO int "foo" default 4 config BAR int "bar" range 0 FOO If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3. But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4. This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK, and the fix was non-trivial. So it was documented in the code and left as is.

2010-08-03kconfig: use long options in confSam Ravnborg
The list of options supported by conf is growing and their abbreviation did not resemble anything usefull. So drop the single letter options in favour of long options. The long options are named equal to what we know from the make target. The internal implmentation was changed to match this, resulting in much more readable code. Support for short options is dropped - no one is supposed to call this program direct anyway. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2010-07-29kconfig: fix MODULES-related bug in case of no .configUlf Magnusson
There seems to be a kconfig bug due to MODULES not always being evaluated if no .config is found. Take the following Kconfig as an example: config MODULES def_bool y config FOO def_tristate m With no .config, the following configuration is generated: CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_FOO=y With an empty .config, the following: CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_FOO=m Tristate choice statements can also exhibit the problem, due to having an implicit rev_dep (select) containing "m". The problem is that MODULES is never evaluted in conf_read_simple() unless there's a .config. The following patch fixes this.

2010-07-23nconfig: Fix segfault when help contains special charactersStephen Boyd
nconfig segfaults when help text contains the character '%'. For a quick example, navigate to the kernel compression options and get the help for bzip2. Doing so triggers a call to mvwprintw() with a string containing '%' and no extra arguments to fill in the specifier's value. Fix this case by printing the literal string retrieved from the kconfig. #0 0x00002b52b6b11d83 in vfprintf () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00002b52b6bad010 in __vsnprintf_chk () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00002b52b623991b in _nc_printf_string () from /lib/libncursesw.so.5 #3 0x00002b52b6234cff in vwprintw () from /lib/libncursesw.so.5 #4 0x00002b52b6234db9 in mvwprintw () from /lib/libncursesw.so.5 #5 0x00000000004151d8 in fill_window (win=0x21b64c0, text=0x21b62b0 "CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2:\n\nIts compression ratio and speed is intermediate.\nDecompression speed is slowest among the three.

2010-07-22tracing: Fix $mcount_regex for MIPS in recordmcount.plDavid Daney
I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised. However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal code. This is what I originally saw: Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop() would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash. In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26 relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.

2010-07-20kbuild: Make the setlocalversion script POSIX-compliantMichał Górny
The 'source' builtin is a bash alias to the '.' (dot) builtin. While the former is supported only by bash, the latter is specified in POSIX and works fine with all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of. The '$_' special parameter is specific to bash. It is partially supported in dash too but it always evaluates to the current script path (which causes the script to enter a loop recursively re-executing itself). This is why I have replaced the two occurences of '$_' with the explicit parameter. The 'local' builtin is another example of bash-specific code. Although it is supported by all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of, it is not part of POSIX specification and thus the code should not rely on it assigning a specific value to the local variable. Moreover, the 'posh' shell has a limited version of 'local' builtin not supporting direct variable assignments. Thus, I have broken one of the 'local' declarations down into a (non-POSIX) 'local' declaration and a plain (POSIX-compliant) variable assignment.

The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any way. The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements and prints a warning on selecting an option if its direct dependencies are not met.

Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to a variable expansion in an ifneq statement).

Add a Coccinelle file to use the ERR_CAST function Before the release 2.6.25, one had to use ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(...)) to convert the pointer type of an error. Since then, the function ERR_CAST has been available for that purpose.

2010-06-12Add scripts/coccinelle/alloc/kzalloc-simple.cocciNicolas Palix
This semantic patch replaces a pair of calls to kmalloc and memset by a single call to kzalloc. It only looks for simple cases to avoid false positives. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Palix <npalix@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2010-06-12Add a target to use the Coccinelle checkerNicolas Palix
A 'coccicheck' target is added. It can be called with four different modes. Each one generates a different kind of output, i.e. context, patch, org, report, according to the corresponding mode to be activated. The new target calls the 'coccicheck' front-end in the 'scripts' directory with the MODE argument. Every SmPL file in the subdirectories of 'scripts/coccinelle' is then given to the front-end and applied to the entire source tree. The four modes behave as follows: 'report' generates a list in the following format: file:line:column-column: message 'patch' proposes a fix, when possible. 'context' highlights lines of interest and their context in a diff-like style. Lines of interest are indicated with '-'. 'org' generates a report in the Org mode format of Emacs.
