Make the patch-kernel shell script sufficiently compatible with POSIX
shells, i.e., remove bashisms from scripts/patch-kernel.
This means that it now also works on dash 0.5.3-5
and still works on bash 3.1dfsg-8.
Full changelog:
- replaced non-standard "==" by standard "="
- replaced non-standard "source" statement by POSIX "dot" command
- use leading ./ on mktemp filename to force the tempfile to a local
directory, so that the search path is not used
- replace bash syntax to remove leading dot by similar POSIX syntax
- added missing (optional/not required) $ signs to shell variable names

Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path
under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change:
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23
makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir
(for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in
/lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko)
This was the case only when specifying a trailing slash to M=..
Fixed by removing trailing slash if present so

Switch from doing our own parsing of command line arguments to
using getopt(3) to do it. Aside from simplifying things, this allows us to
specify multiple arguments; the old code could only accept two arguments
(input_mode and kconfig name).
Note some subtle changes:
- The argument '-?' is no longer supported.
- '-h' is not treated as an error, so output goes to stdout, and we
exit with '0'.
- There is no compatibility checking amongst arguments; the last option
will simply override earlier options. For example, 'conf -n -y foo'
is perfectly valid now (input_mode will be set_yes). Previously, that
would have been an error ("can't find file -y").

When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile. This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.
When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected. However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules). This causes confusion.
The solution is two-parted. This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile. The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.
Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.
Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

This version brings a new terse output mode as well as many improvements to
the unary detection and bare type regcognition. It also brings the usual
updates for false positives, though these seem to be slowing markedly
now that the unary detector is no longer just putting its finger in the

- new --terse mode producing a single line per report
- loosening of the block brace checks
- new checks for enum/union/struch brace placements
- hugely expanded "bare type" detection
- checks for inline usage
- better handling of already open comment blocks
- handle patches which introduce or remove lines without newlines

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
- 0f855aa64b ("kconfig: add helper to set
config symbol from environment variable")
- 2a113281f5 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
set 64BIT with all*config targets")
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says. The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

After unification of the Kconfig files and
introducing K64BIT support in kconfig
it required only trivial changes to enable
"make ARCH=x86".
With this patch you can build for x86_64 in several ways:
1) make ARCH=x86_64
2) make ARCH=x86 K64BIT=y
3) make ARCH=x86 menuconfig
=> select 64-bit
Likewise for i386 with the addition that
i386 is default is you say ARCH=x86.

The variable K64BIT can now be used to select the
value of CONFIG_64BIT.
This is for example useful for powerpc to generate
allmodconfig for both bit sizes - like this:
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=y
make ARCH=powerpc K64BIT=n
To use this the Kconfig file must use "64BIT" as the
config value to select between 32 and 64 bit.

This reverts commit a5bf3d891a.
David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:
"That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
worked that way for several years now ... so the issue seems to be
changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.
The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ... the
controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.
It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."
Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.

When part of build an external module tree, modpost first reads in the
kernel's and then the external tree's Module.symvers files. From these files
it establishes a symbol => module mapping. When it later reads in each module
built and processes the symbols it finds, it discovers the symbol=>module
mapping from Module.symvers and leaves it as it is.
The problem comes with a module has been re-named or a symbol has moved from
one module to another, since the Module.symvers file was generated. modpost
does not update the symbol=>module mapping when it finds the new location of
the symbol when scanning the newly built modules. This results in the module
containing incorrect dependency information and the new Module.symvers file
written by modpost will also contain the incorrect mappings, perpetuating the
problem to the next build, and so on.
When building the out of kernel development tree for kernel subsystem, like
v4l-dvb or ALSA, deleting the external Module.symvers file before building
(which the kernel build system doesn't do and shouldn't be necessary anyway),
won't fix the problem. modpost still reads the kernel's Module.symvers, and
since we a building a kernel subsystem, it will define the same symbols as the
external modules.

introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters

Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.
The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:
ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif

External modules have in a few cases modifed gcc option
by modifying CFLAGS. This has never been documented and
was a bad practice.
With the check to use KBUILD_CFLAGS it will no longer work
so we better error out and tell what was wrong as a service
to the external module users.
This check can be overruled if
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC is set to something.
Addid this possibility may allow older external
module to build without any code modifications but potentially
only loosing some un-important gcc options.

menuconfig currently represents options implied by another option ('select'
directive in Kconfig) by prefixing them with '---'. Unfortunately the same
notation is used for comments. If the implied option is module capable,
user can still switch between Y and M, all without any feedback until she
visits option's help. (try saying M to MAC80211 and then toggling
CFG80211)
This patch changes notation of selected-by-another items by introducing 2
new representations for implied options: {*} or {M} for options selected by
another modularized one, thus builtin or module capable, -*- or -M- for
options that cannot be at the moment changed by user.
The idea is to represent actual capability of the option by braces (dashes)
around and to always report actual state by * or M inside.

Change the invocations of make in the output directory Makefile and the
main Makefile for separate object trees to pass all goals to one $(MAKE)
via a new phony target "sub-make" and the existing target _all.
When compiling with separate object directories, a separate make is called
in the context of another directory (from the output directory the main
Makefile is called, the Makefile is then restarted with current directory
set to the object tree). Before this patch, when multiple make command
goals are specified, each target results in a separate make invocation.
With make -j, these invocations may run in parallel, resulting in multiple
commands running in the same directory clobbering each others results.
I did not try to address make -j for mixed dot-config and no-dot-config
targets. Because the order does matter, a solution was not obvious.
Perhaps a simple check for MAKEFLAGS having -j and refusing to run would
be appropriate.

With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.
Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.
The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate
from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore,
reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those
warnings.
The naming convention defines the name for a literal
section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case
the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp()
to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0
should not cause any regressions for other architectures.
We also need to suppress warnings for two informational
