2009-09-20arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0Sam Ravnborg
Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported: Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them. This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds. This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile, or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh) Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script. This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where it is used. Notes for the different architectures touched: arm - we use an already exported symbol cris - we use a config symbol aleady available [Not build tested] mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it. Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by the linker script. [Not build tested] powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed [not build tested] sparc - simplified it using $(BITS) um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this xtensa - added options to CPP invocation [not build tested] Cc: Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Mikael Starvik <starvik@axis.com> Cc: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-20kbuild: save ARCH & CROSS_COMPILE when building a kernelSam Ravnborg
When building a kernel for a different architecture kbuild requires the user always to specify ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE on the command-line. We use the asm symlink to detect if user forgets to specify the correct ARCH value - but that symlink is about to die. And we do now want to loose this check. This patch save the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE in two files named: include/generated/kernel.arch include/generated/kernel.cross The settings are saved during "make *config" time and always read. If user try to change the settings we error out. This works both for plain builds and for O=... builds. So now you can do: $ mkdir sparc64 $ make O=sparc64 ARCH=sparc64 CROSS_COMPILE=sparc64-linux- defconfig $ cd sparc64 $ make Notice that you no longer need to tell kbuild the settings of ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE when you type make in the output directory. Likewise for plain builds where you do not use O=... Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>
2009-09-20kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel scriptSam Ravnborg
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL to select a custom installkernel script when running make: make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install With this patch we are now more consistent across different architectures - they did not all support use of CROSS_COMPILE. The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change just because we change toolchain. The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no longer be installable. [Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint] This patch undos what Ian did in commit: 0f8e2d62fa04441cd12c08ce521e84e5bd3f8a46 ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh") The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes looks obvious.

2009-07-16Add '-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks' to gcc CFLAGSEugene Teo
Turning on this flag could prevent the compiler from optimising away some "useless" checks for null pointers. Such bugs can sometimes become exploitable at compile time because of the -O2 optimisation. See http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.2/gcc/Optimize-Options.html An example that clearly shows this 'problem' is commit 6bf67672. static void __devexit agnx_pci_remove(struct pci_dev *pdev) { struct ieee80211_hw *dev = pci_get_drvdata(pdev); - struct agnx_priv *priv = dev->priv; + struct agnx_priv *priv; AGNX_TRACE; if (!dev) return; + priv = dev->priv; By reverting this patch, and compile it with and without -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag, we can see that the check for dev is compiled away. call printk # - testq %r12, %r12 # dev - je .L94 #, movq %r12, %rdi # dev, Clearly the 'fix' is to stop using dev before it is tested, but building with -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks flag at least makes it harder to abuse.

2009-07-12Don't use '-fwrapv' compiler option: it's buggy in gcc-4.1.xLinus Torvalds
This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain broken gcc versions. This fixes kernel bugzilla entry: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012 I suspect the gcc problem is this: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230 Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.

2009-06-18gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

2009-06-09kbuild: remove extra ifdef/endif of top MakefileCheng Renquan
The GNU make's origin function know undefined variable well, so the outer ifdef/endif conditional checking is unneeded. From `info make` documentation, origin will return `undefined' if VARIABLE was never defined. `command line' if VARIABLE was defined on the command line. ... Therefore, $(origin V) will get a value anyway, killing ifdef/endif is viable and safe. Furthermore, I've checked the minimal requirements from Documentation/Changes is GNU make 3.79.1, and that version of GNU make has support of origin function well already, so now it's safe to kill the outer conditional checking, without upgrading the minimal requirements.
