I recently ran Lindent over the AdvanSys driver and it moved the
comments on #else and #endif lines way over to the right:
#else /* ADVANSYS_DEBUG */
This doesn't match what I expect from kernel style, but it is
documented. We just need another flag to indent to make this look like:
#else /* ADVANSYS_DEBUG */

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.
* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
is fixed.
* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
trailing '\0'. Fix it.

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.

Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.

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.

We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree. These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.
As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree. Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions. This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

This should make it stop immediately after printing the _helpful_ error
message, rather than continuing to spit out many pages more of 'CHECK
include/linux/foo.h' before eventually coming to a halt with something
less obvious.
Now I get this...
CHECK include/linux/smb_fs.h
/shiny/git/linux-2.6/usr/include/linux/smb_fs.h requires linux/jiffies.h, which does not exist in exported headers
make[2]: *** [/shiny/git/linux-2.6/usr/include/linux/.check.smb_fs.h] Error 1
make[1]: *** [linux] Error 2
make: *** [headers_check] Error 2

This reverts commit f892b7d480, which
totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as
I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a
SIGSEGV in modpost.

powerpc: Fix the MODALIAS generation in modpost for of devices
modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/
Shift over to __init_refok and kill the
hardcoded function names in modpost.
This has the drawback that the functions
will always be kept no matter configuration.
With previous code the function were placed in
init section if configuration allowed it.
