82fa39552f markup_oops: use modinfo to avoid confusion with underscored module names
When EIP is at a module having an underscore in its name, the current code
fails to find it because the module filenames has '-' instead of '_'.  Use
modinfo for a better path finding.

7db86dc97f ctags: usability fix
The tag file generated by the tags.sh script has some issue.

First:
  The identifier-list miss the
  DEFINE_TRACE,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL_GPL
  special handling, which can result in a wrong tag, not to jump to the
  right variable definition or function implementation.

Second:
  It makes no real sense to include function prototypes and external and
  forward variable declarations, because jumping to a tag will sometimes
  go to this and not to the real definition and implementation. The information
  about the declaration is still there at the definition and implementation
  place.

So this patch make it lot easier to navigate through the kernel source
tree using vi.

09d3f3f0e0 sparc: Kill PROM console driver.
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

48586218b6 kconfig: add missing dependency of conf to localyesconfig
There's a dependency missing.

$ make localyesconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64'
/bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127
make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2

Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m'
to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules
converted to built in!

The missing dependency was for conf for localyesconfig. This
dependency was already set for localmodconfig.

  vmlinux  # local to the directory
  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/kernel/configs.ko
  kernel/configs.ko

objects have configs first) it then uses it to create the .config

The streamline_config.pl finds all the configs that are needed to
compile the currently loaded modules. After it creates the .config
file, it tests to make sure all the configs that are needed were

It only looks at the configs that are modules, it does not look

If a config does not have a prompt, it must be selected.
streamline_config.pl keeps track of all configs that select other configs.
If a config that does not have a prompt needs to be set to enable a
current module, it will include all configs that select it.
Note, streamline_config.pl does not enable modules that are not already
enabled. It only keeps enabled those that were enabled and might be
needed to compile the current modules.

The code to find the selects of a config is after the code that
adds the depends. But if a config needed selects but had no dependencies,
it would not be set. Because the code would stop before getting to
the select.

dcc60243e7 kconfig: add streamline_config.pl to scripts
streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install
a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that
it can take forever to compile the kernel.

Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring
down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask
someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that
person may not even know how to build a kernel.

This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the
current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which
CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the
dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG.
Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is
not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to
standard out.

Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds
a distribution .config.

 $ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl
 $ mv .config config-save
 $ mv config-sl .config
 $ make oldconfig

Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also
take much less time to build the kernel.

7dbdee2e9a tracing: Fix recordmcount.pl to handle sections with only weak functions
Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak
function in one of the staging drivers and this caused
recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail.

Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and
this function only be used in one place, it should not be something
to make recordmcount.pl fail.

This patch fixes the issue in a simple manner: if only weak
functions exist in a section, then that section will not be
recorded.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific.

Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called:

   LM93_IN_FROM_REG()

But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones
you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have:

 Disassembly of section .text:

 0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>:
       0:       7c 08 02 a6     mflr    r0
       4:       fb 81 ff e0     std     r28,-32(r1)

The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols
that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly
stage.

The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows
the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the
--synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a
local.

Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a
reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a
reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if
that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink
the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case,
we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert
the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it
back to a local symbol.

This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted
into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain
unresolved.

that directory patterns have a trailing slash was unnecessary and was

bd171d5ffc ftrace: Only update $offset when we update $ref_func
The value of $offset should be the offset of $ref_func from the
beginning of the object file. Therefore, we should set both variables
together.

This fixes a bug I was hitting on sh where $offset (which is used to
calcualte the addends for the __mcount_loc entries) was being set
multiple times and didn't correspond to $ref_func's offset in the object
file. The addends in __mcount_loc were calculated incorrectly, resulting
in ftrace dynamically modifying addresses that weren't mcount call
sites.

The second example is about my_func not being global, but the
example code has the ".globl my_func" statement just moved.

bash versus dash and posh disagree on expanding $@ within double quotes:

see http://bugs.debian.org/381091 for details
just use the arglist with $*.

seen on Ubuntu as there dash is the default sh,
versus bash on Debian.
