Subject: [BK patches] kbuild updates
Date: Sun, 7 Nov 2004 20:37:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041107193734.GA17604@mars.ravnborg.org> (raw)

Hi Linus.

A number of patches has accumulated in the kbuild tree.
This tree have no sign of the offsetts.h related patches - I did
a new clone to linux-sam.bkbits.net/kbuild to get rid of them.

It has been tested in latest -mm except for a few fixes

Plase pull:
bk pull bk://linux-sam.bkbits.net/kbuild

A quick summary is:

o fix xconfig and gconfig so they work againg
o Kbuild is now preferred name for kbuild files - but no global renaming.
o Allow architectures to set KBUILD_DEFCONFIG so arch/xxx/defconfig
  can be dropped. USed for arm only for now
o Updates to kernel-doc
o updates to sparc/Kconfig (acked by wli)
o ppc, make O= fix
o initramfs improvements (timestamp check)
o localversion improvements (ignore backup copies, do not rebuild so much)
o fixes for Solaris builds
o ppc64 install fix

  Correctly means:

  Kbuild: avoid backup localversion files
  
  Avoid including as localversion-files the *~ files, i.e. backup files. If I
  have localversion-a and localversion-a~, I don't want both to be used. Nor I
  want to use localversion*~ anyway.
  
  Don't code that as $(wildcard localversion*[^~]) as that would exclude
  "localversion" from the wildcard expansion result, because it requires at
  least one character after localversion to exist in the name file. I.e.,

  ppc: fix building arch/ppc/boot/lib/ with make O=
  
  arch/ppc/boot/lib/ reuses zlib_inflate from lib/zlib_inflate but kbuild
  does not support two different places utilising the same .o file. It results
  in recompile for each build because options to compiler changes etc.

  kbuild: Prefer Kbuild as name of the kbuild files
  
  The kbuild syntax is unique and does only have very few things in common with
  usual Makefile syntax. So to avoid confusion make the filename 'Kbuild' be
  the preferred name as replacement for 'Makefile'.
  No global renaming planned to take place for now, but new stuff expected to use
  the new 'Kbuild' filename.

  kbuild: allow architectures to specify defconfig file with KBUILD_DEFCONFIG
  
  For some architectures is does not make sense to maintain a single default
  configuration - arm is a good example here.
  KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is introduced allowing relevant architectures to point out
  a configuration kept in arch/$(ARCH)/configs as the configuration
  to be used when executing 'make defconfig'.
  This patch selects versatile_defconfig as the default configuration for arm.
  
  The reason to keep defconfig is that is has proved valuable in many testing
  scenarios when one are doing a cross architecture build of the kernel to
  do a simple compile-time check of some changes.

  The following two bits are needed to get it working (not as colorful as on
  Linux, but it functions) for me.  First, unless CURS_MACROS is defined,
  scroll(x) doesn't get expanded to wscrl(x, 1).  I did some quick
  grepping on Cygwin and Linux (debian/unstable) and didn't see
  CURS_MACROS show up anywhere else, but to be safe I put it inside of
  __sun__.  Next this uses libcurses instead of libncurses otherwise we
  get a bunch of undefined refs to w32attrset, w32addch, acs32map and few
  more.
