2008-03-23kbuild: soften modpost checks when doing cross buildsSam Ravnborg
The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency check where it is checked that the size of a structure in the kernel and on the build host are the same. For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these situations. This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building for arm.

This was done to let modpost report section mismatch bugs even when the final link failed. Originally I had expected the dependency of $(kallsyms.o) to cover this but it turns out that we need to be even more explicit. Fix this by adding a conditional dependency on firat target used in the kallsyms serie of builds.

CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector) Now I realize that certain distros have patched gcc to compensate for their lack of distro wide CFLAGS, and it's great to work around that... but would there be a way to NOT disable this for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR please? It would have made this exploit not possible for those kernels that enable this feature (and that includes distros like Fedora) === Move the assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including the arch specific Makefile so arch makefiles may override the setting.

2008-01-28kbuild: implement modules.orderTejun Heo
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.

The check introduced in commit: 4f1127e204377cbd2a56d112d323466f668e8334 "kbuild: fix infinite make recursion" caused certain external modules not to build and also caused 'make targz-pkg' to fail.

2007-12-09kbuild: fix building with redirected output.Sam Ravnborg
Jan Altenberg <jan.altenberg@linutronix.de> reported that building with redirected input like this failed: make O=dir oldconfig bzImage < /dev/null The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin. Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the top-level Makefile re-made by make. Introducing an empty rule for the top-level Makefile (and Kbuild.include) fixed the issue.

2007-11-17x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.configSam Ravnborg
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: 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 -> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable 2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3 -> 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.

2007-11-12x86: enable "make ARCH=x86"Sam Ravnborg
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.

Too many people have CFLAGS set to support building userspace. And now Kbuild picks up CFLAGS this caused troubles.

2007-10-18kbuild: disable depmod in cross-compile kernel buildSam Ravnborg
When building embedded systems in a cross-compile environment and populating a target's file system image, we don't want to run the depmod on the host as we may be building for a completely different architecture. Since there's no such thing as a cross-depmod, we just disable running depmod in the cross-compile case and we just run depmod on the target at bootup.

We often hit the situation where the asm symlink in include/ points to the wrong architecture. In 9 out of 10 cases thats because we forgot to set ARCH but sometimes we just reused the same tree for another ARCH. For the merged x86 tree we need to create a new symlink but this is not obvious.
