net-2.6.24 breaks powerpc mysteriously

With net-2.6.24 (pulled yesterday) applied:

Note that those two COPY commands didn't happen with net-2.6.24 applied, although
that might be because `make' decided they were already performed, dunno.

I also have today's git-kbuild applied here, as well as yesterday's git-powerpc.

But I have enough to fix here so I'm going to do a report-and-run on this one.
I'll release 2.6.23-mm1 in this state for your bug-hunting convenience ;)

The only thing we touched in zlib is in the patch below.

I suspect the lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c changes, I had no idea that
some pieces of code try to use this into userspace.

I supposed a hacky fix is to add __KERNEL__ ifdef protection around
zlib_inflate_blob() and those troublesome includes.  A nicer fix is
probably to change the zlib_inflate_blob() interface to pass in
pointers to alloc() and free() routines instead of calling kernel ones
directly.

Not userspace; the zImage wrapper uses inflate.c to gunzip the
compressed kernel image.  It is a separate program to the kernel,
however, and is compiled in an environment where the headers it uses
are not the kernel headers.

That would do, but I don't see why zlib_inflate_blob had to be added
to inflate.c rather than being in a new file under lib/zlib_inflate.
If nothing else, that bloats configs that currently use inflate.c (in
the kernel) but don't need zlib_inflate_blob() - which would be all
the existing uses. :)

Paul.

Done.

I did it.

However, in general I prefer to have a better linker, one which
is capable of eliminate unused fuctions/data on the per-object basis,
not per .o file.

Patches to implement that are sent to Sam Ravnborg.
Hopefully they will make it to mainline.

We fixed this several days ago already.

We used to have our own copies of inflate.c etc. for the zImage
wrapper code to use under arch/powerpc/boot.  Then someone said "why
do we have two copies of these files?" and did a patch to make the
build process copy the files from lib/zlib_inflate over and compile
them.  (We can't just use the compiled .o files from lib/zlib_inflate
because the wrapper is 32-bit whereas the kernel is often 64-bit.)

Now it seems someone has made changes to the lib/zlib_inflate versions
that are OK in the context of the kernel but not in the zImage (which
is a separate program).  Avoiding this kind of breakage was the reason
why I made arch/powerpc/boot have its own copies originally.

So Andrew, what do you think is better - arch/powerpc/boot having its
own copies of the zlib_inflate stuff, or #ifdefs of some kind in
lib/zlib_inflate/*.c?

Paul.

The latter - copying code is evil.  Keeping the existing code dual-mode
shouldn't be too hard - it's just a matter of people knowing about it.

Perhaps such code should be in its own suitably-named directory, but
whatever.

I'll work on a fix for this.

Here is the patch I'm putting through some paces, let me know if
it solves the powerpc problem.

Subject: [PATCH] [ZLIB]: Fix external builds of zlib_inflate code.

Move zlib_inflate_blob() out into it's own source file,
infutil.c, so that things like the powerpc zImage builder
in arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile don't end up trying to
compile it.
