- The ntp/time rework patches from John Stultz have been resurrected and fixed.

- There's now a `hot-fixes' directory at the above URL.  Please look in
  there for any updates which should be applied.


Known problems:

- Sam has added a new check in the kbuild tree.  It detects multiple
  instances of EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo) across separate .o files.

  It catches a _lot_ of problems.   You'll see something like this:

WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol '__down_interruptible' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol '__down' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol '__up' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol 'smp_call_function' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol 'iounmap' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol '__ioremap' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol 'ioremap' previous definition was in vmlinux
WARNING: vmlinux: duplicate symbol 'sys_ctrler' previous definition was in vmlinux

  There's probably not a lot of point in reporting this if you see it.

  Patches would be nice, but be warned that fixing these is not as trivial
  as one might think:

  - If one export is in generic code and the other is in arch code then

    - If you remove the export in generic code, you need to check all
      architectures for breakage.

    - If you remove the export in arch code then you need to be sure
      that the generic .o file a) always compiles in the offending function
      and b) is always linked into vmlinux.

  - If both exports are in arch code then you need to ensure that
    the export which isn't deleted is always included in vmlinux when
    the symbol which it exports is included in vmlinux.

  If possible, the best approach is to put the EXPORT_SYMBOL
  immediately after the symbol which is being exported.  And if it's
  a function, pleeeze don't put a blank line between the end of the
  function and the export - I've no idea why people do that...


Boilerplate:

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
  mm-commits mailing list.

        echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it's not obvious which patch caused it, it is
  most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
  introduced the bug.  Instructions for this process are at

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
  reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
  identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
  list on any email.

Actually it spoke too fast, I have the following oops with
CONFIG_DEBUG_INITDATA=y (it does not oops without this config
option).

I can send full dmesg and .config if needed (the bug is reproducable).

with gcc4.1 (I supposed buffered_rmqueue is inlined):

Functions only used in the files they are defined in should be static.

I can't reproduce this.  What steps are you using to build the kernel?

You can also use the mm->git tree (at .../linux/kernel/git/smurf/
/linux-trees.git) and use "git bisect".

It'll be a bit slower, but the upside is that it's able to descend into
the git trees which Andrew has imported into mm as monolithic patches.

You need to use make O=some_dir to reproduce it.
like this:

# Create output dir and copy config
mkdir ~/o
cp ieee_config ~/o/.config

# Prepare kernel source
cd $KERNELSRC
make mrproper

# Build kernel
make O=~/o 


Note - the breakage is only in -mm.

Sigh. I did a 'make allmodconfig' on x86_64 and found to my suprise only
a sinlge symbol being exported more than one time.

This is purely a consistency check introduced by commit:

I can rip it out again if the noise/value ratio is too high.

We should IMO try to keep the exports in generic code.
The exports should go with the function definition - right after closing
'{'.
All other ways of exporting function is a call for inconsistency.
A gret deal of effort has been put into getting rid of ksym files
- good. But exports should not be scattered far away form the function
definition.

Placing the export just below the function definition should cover this
in 90% of the cases. The rest is macros..

Looks like my mistake. I was pretty sure I tested the normal in-kernel
build way, sorry.

I did the change in order to build out of tree (with an absolute path as
a SUBDIRS value).

There were several tens on powerpc, sparc64, etc.

No, let's keep it.  We're wasting memory on this stuff.

Yes, I guess so.  It gets tricky when you get onto things like the string
functions, most of which may be impemented in generic code or may be in
arch code, depending on __ARCH_HAVE_stuff.

When I confirmed your patch, I had successfully tested it on pristine 
and on pre-built 2.6.15.1 and 2.6.16-rc1 trees when running make from 
the trees' root directory, using the default shell of MDK 10.1.

But Adrian is right, "make O=/some/place/else" is broken. Which answers 
my question above.

Reverted.

Johannes, please fix this such that builds with O= still work, or change
your out-of-tree Makefile so that this change is not needed.

Cheers,
Jody
