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

  want to use localversion*~ anyway.

  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.
  So the trick used here is to make a copy of the required .c files.

  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.

  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

Hi Linus.

Please pull latest kbuild patches.
Full list below - the most important stuff:

o default value for INSTALL_PATH set to /boot
o Use -Wno-pointer-sign for gcc 4.0
o arch/i386: make install no longer check vmlinux
o Introdude KBUILD_NOCMDDEP

Except a few trivial things it has been in -mm for a while
with no comments.

	Sam

	

Please do a

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

   video/console: fix spurious rebuild
   
   kbuild does have troubles with assignmnets including '#'.
   The '#' is seen as a comment marker and this will in the end cause
   kbuild to think the commandline to build promcon_tbl.c has changed.
   This happens because the commandline is stored in the file: .promcon_tbl.c.cmd
   
   Although a bit complex the command to build promcon_tbl.c is unlikely
   to change so the workaround is to skip the check for a changed commandline.
   Now promcon_tbl.c is only rebuilt if the .uni file is newer than the .c file.

   [PATCH] kbuild: skip depmod if not executable
   
   I've cross-compiled Linux on i386-netbsdelf2.0 for
   arm-linux for quite some time now and everything seems
   to be working perfectly except for one minor glitch in
   the build process that halts module installation
   (needlessly, IMHO). Specifically, if System.map exists
   $(DEPMOD) is run ("for convenience" as the comment
   says in the Makefile). However, on NetBSD I don't have
   $(DEPMOD) available so the command fails and make
   exits with non-zero exit status. Please consider the
   attached patch to add a check for $(DEPMOD) so that
   missing $(DEPMOD) won't halt the whole build process.

   [PATCH] kbuild: fix for i386 cross compile
   
   I used to be be able to cross compile for i386 on my x86_64 machine,
   but recently something (gcc/binutils?) changed, and it stopped working.
   
   Following patch makes cross compile work with:
   
   make ARCH=i386 CFLAGS_KERNEL="-m32" AFLAGS_KERNEL="-m32" bzImage
   
   Without the patch I'm getting the following error:
   
     SYSCALL arch/i386/kernel/vsyscall-syms.o

   [PATCH] kbuild: no redundant srctree in tags file
   
   Avoid cluttering the tags/TAGS generated file with $(srctree) in the paths
   if this is not needed.
   
   This has two advantages:
   
   - Saving about 20M on the size of the resulting tags file (which are used
     currently to store the absolute path of the file names rather than the
     relative one) when KBUILD_OUTPUT is not set.
   
   - Keeping the tags file valid when the directory is renamed.
   
   No change is done for who does make tags O=..., if this is wanted (I would
   find that incommodous and non-typical for a developer, but anyway I've not
   ruined functionality in that case).

   [PATCH] kbuild: Use -Wno-pointer-sign for gcc 4.0
   
   Compiling an allyesconfig kernel straight with a gcc 4.0 snapshot
   gives nearly 10k new warnings like:
   
   warning: pointer targets in passing argument 5 of `cpuid' differ in signedness
   
   Since the sheer number of these warnings was too much even for the
   most determined kernel janitors (I actually asked ;-) and I don't
   think it's a very serious issue to have these mismatches I submitted
   an new option to gcc to disable it. It was incorporated in gcc mainline
   now.
   
   This patch makes the kernel compilation use it. There are still
   quite a lot of new warnings with 4.0 (mostly about uninitialized variables),
   but the compile log looks much nicer nnow.

   The wrong version of the parmtype patch was merged, incompletely, and
   the part that got merged got broken on the way.  Here are the fixes:
   
   Move __MODULE_INFO to modparam.h: This macro is used in modparam.h;
   there are users who include this header but not module.h.  The latter
   includes modparam.h already.
   
   __MODULE_INFO(parmtype, name##type, #name ":" #type) does not evaluate
   to __MODULE_INFO(parmtype, footype, "foo:int") as was the idea, but to
   __MODULE_INFO(parmtype, fooint, "foo:int") when type is bound to int.
   In more complicated cases, we get syntax erros.  Re-introduce the
   __MODULE_PARM_TYPE macro; this is cleaner than renaming the type parameter.
   
   Add the parmtype definition which was dropped during the merge to to the
   obsolete but still heavily used MODULE_PARM macro.

   kbuild: Warn when building external modules without modversions
   
   This adds a warning when building external modules (M= or SUBDIRS=
   syntax) and there is no Module.symvers in the object tree. A missing
   Module.symvers is a clear sign that the kernel tree itself was never
   compiled. The resulting modules will work, but no symbol version
   information will be attached to kernel symbols the module uses (because
   that information comes from Module.symvers), and so the module will be
   more unsafe.
   Futhermore the external module will not record what other modules it is
   depended on.
   
   The test works with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS enabled or disabled.

   When tossing around with different gcc compilers there is no way to tell kbuild

   kbuild not to check the commandline for changes.
   This should be used with care because the resulting kernel may become inconsistent
   if one part is build with 2.96, and another part build with 3.3.4.
   So use only when you know what you are doing.

If this is the same version as in 2.6.11-mm2 (you didn't offer a GNU 
patch so that I could check it), the following is still present:
