| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the menuconfig output more into the centre again, it's using a fixed position depending on the window width using the fact that the menu output has to work in a 80 chars terminal.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it executable like it should be. Do the same for other files intended to be executed by the user - the ones called by the build process needn't be executable as they already work (as argument to their interpreter).

| * kbuild: rebuild initramfs if content of initramfs changesSam Ravnborg2006-04-112-127/+189
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed. To fix this the following was done: - let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included in the initramfs - gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify the kbuild file (Makefile) - utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes the initramfs will be rebuild With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

| * kbuild: properly pass options to hostcc when doing make O=..Sam Ravnborg2006-04-072-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fix a longstanding bug where proper options was not passed to hostcc in case of a make O=.. build. This bug showed up in (not yet merged) klibc, and is not known to have any counterpart in-kernel. Fixed by moving the flags macro to Kbuild.include so it can be used by both Makefile.lib and Makefile.host. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
| * kbuild: modules_install for external modules must not remove existing modulesAndreas Gruenbacher2006-04-061-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When installing external modules with `make modules_install', the first thing that happens is a rm -rf of the target directory. This works only once, and breaks when installing more than one (set of) external module(s). With following fix we have the functionality: - for a in-kernel modules_install the $(MODLIB)/kernel directory will be deleted before module installation - for external modules the existing modules will be left as is assuming one may be building and installign several external modules Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
| * kbuild: fix make dir/Sam Ravnborg2006-04-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | kbuild added an extra '/' after the directory - resulting in all files being rebuild in a subdirectory. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes to Makefile.kbuild ("kbuild: add -fverbose-asm to i386 Makefile") breaks asm-offset.h file on MIPS.

| * kbuild: fix building single targets with make O=.. single-targetSam Ravnborg2006-04-051-25/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes single targets build so it now works relaiably in following cases: - build with mixed kernel source and output files (make single-target) - build with separate output directory (make O=.. single-target) - external module with mixed kernel source and output files (make M='pwd' single-target) - external module with separate kernel source and output files (make O=.. M='pwd' single-target) Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
| * kbuild: use relative path to -ISam Ravnborg2006-04-043-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a relative path has the advantage that when the kernel source tree is moved the relevant .o files will not be rebuild just because the path to the kernel src has changed. This also got rid of a user of TOPDIR - which has been deprecated for a long time now. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
| * kbuild: fix unneeded rebuilds in drivers/net/chelsio after moving source treeCarl-Daniel Hailfinger2006-04-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes some uneeded rebuilds under drivers/net/chelsio after moving the source tree. The makefiles used $(TOPDIR) for include paths, which is unnecessary. Changed to use relative paths. Compile tested, produces byte-identical code to the previous makefiles.

| * | [IA64] always map VGA framebuffer UC, even if it supports WBBjorn Helgaas2006-04-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EFI on some machines, e.g., Intel Tiger, reports that the VGA framebuffer supports WB access. ioremap() prefers WB when possible, so it can work when mapping main memory. But it doesn't make sense to map a framebuffer WB, because the driver doesn't flush explicitly, so updates won't make it to the device immediately. This is due to Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The parenthesis around "likely" used in ia64 __mutex_fastpath_trylock is incorrect, and it leads to broken mutex_trylock. Here is the patch that fixed the bug. I removed the likely altogether because there is no branch and gcc does a reasonable job at predicating the return value.

| * | [IA64] for_each_possible_cpu: ia64KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2006-04-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu under arch/ia64/kernel/.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In vsyscall function do_vgettimeofday(), some functions are declared as inlined, which is a hint for gcc to compile the function inlined but it not forced.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When nolapic was passed or the local APIC was disabled for another reason ACPI would still parse the IO-APICs until these were explicitely disabled with noapic. Usually this resulted in a non booting configuration unless "nolapic noapic" was used. I also disabled the local APIC parsing in this case, although that's only cosmetic (suppresses a few printks) This hopefully makes nolapic work in all cases.

| * | [PATCH] splice: add optional input and output offsetsIngo Molnar2006-04-102-15/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file descriptors: asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in, int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out, size_t len, unsigned int flags); semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin. Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used (and updated in situ). Providing an offset for a pipe results in -ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.
