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
air and guessing. Of note:
- 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

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

only loosing some un-important gcc options.

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.

that the output from "ld -v" could differ as much as it turned out
it can, so my original fix turned out to not cover all bases.

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.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.
This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.

Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared as
they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they become
visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults aren't
used anymore).
The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its
visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just
removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as you
noticed.
The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in sync
and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random value
from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.

The sed expression used at the moment in scripts/Makefile.headersinst
relies on the (handy) GNU extension where you can escape ERE's in an
otherwise BRE without using the GNU -r option. The following patch
replaces this "\+" usage with a functionally equivalent POSIX BRE compliant
"\{1,\}". Tested with `make headers_install` against blackfin/x86_64/i386
targets.

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link
vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across
the .o files.
Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.
The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux
but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.
For a defconfig build this is instant but for an allyesconfig this

note:
- checks for documentation for new __setup calls
- clearer reporting where braces and parenthesis are involved
- reports for closing brace and semi-colon spacing
- reports on unwanted externs
This patch includes an update to the documentation on checkpatch.pl
itself to clarify when it should be used and to indicate that it
is not intended as the final arbitor of style.

A bug in headers_install for ARCH=x86_64 yields an asm/ directory full of
files all of which are using the same #ifdef guard, "__ASM_STUB_" with no
postfix. So the second and later asm files #included in the same C file
(often through standard headers like ioctl.h) yields no symbols.

Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.
Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.
Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated,
with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later
stage.
To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction
set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with
normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges
are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one.
It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with
different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input
and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker.
The closest I've been able to find to documentation is:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/emultempl/sh64elf.em?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
It's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf32-sh64.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
that describes for which ISA a range is used.
Silence the warnings by allowing references from .init.text to .cranges.

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show
"set_up_list3s" name.

Change modpost section mismatch warnings to be less confusing;
model them on the binutils linker warnings which we all know how
to interpret.
Also, fix the wrong ordering of arguments for the final case -
fromsec and refsymname were reversed.

The check-lxdialog.sh script searches for "libFOO.so" which fails on OS X, due
to their special naming of libraries like "libfoo.dylib". This patch turns
the curses lib search into extensible loops and adds dylib as a valid
extension.

POSIX says limits.h defines PATH_MAX so we should include it (which fixes
compiling on some systems like OS X).

Since the devices may have multiple (or none) compatible properties,
the uevent generated internally by the kernel may have multiple
"C..." entries. So the MODALIAS stored in the module must have
wilcard before and after the compatible entry.
Also, if the 'compatible' field is not used for matching, there
will be no 'C' and that must handled as well.
The previous code handled all those case incorrectly and it
"mostly" worked ... but not always.
