2013-01-03UAPI: Strip _UAPI prefix on header install no matter the whitespaceDavid Howells
Commit 56c176c9cac9 ("UAPI: strip the _UAPI prefix from header guards during header installation") strips the _UAPI prefix from header guards, but only if there's a single space between the cpp directive and the label. Make it more flexible and able to handle tabs and multiple white space characters. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowell@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-11-27UAPI: strip the _UAPI prefix from header guards during header installationDavid Howells
Strip the _UAPI prefix from header guards during header installation so that any userspace dependencies aren't affected. glibc, for example, checks for linux/types.h, linux/kernel.h, linux/compiler.h and linux/list.h by their guards - though the last two aren't actually exported. libtool: compile: gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -Wall -Werror -Wformat -Wformat-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fstack-protector -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -c child.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/child.o In file included from cli.c:20:0: common.h:152:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sysinfo' In file included from /usr/include/linux/kernel.h:4:0, from /usr/include/linux/sysctl.h:25, from /usr/include/sys/sysctl.h:43, from common.h:50, from cli.c:20: /usr/include/linux/sysinfo.h:7:8: note: originally defined here Reported-by: Tomasz Torcz <tomek@pipebreaker.pl> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-10-02UAPI: Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checkingDavid Howells
Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checking system. As the headers are split the entries will be transferred across from the old Kbuild files to the UAPI Kbuild files. The changes made in this commit are: (1) Exported generated files (of which there are currently four) are moved to uapi/ directories under the appropriate generated/ directory, thus we get: include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_x32.h These paths were added to the build as -I flags in a previous patch. (2) scripts/Makefile.headersinst is now given the UAPI path to install from rather than the old path. It then determines the old path from that and includes that Kbuild also if it exists, thus permitting the headers to exist in either directory during the changeover. I also renamed the "install" variable to "installdir" as it refers to a directory not the install program. (3) scripts/headers_install.pl is altered to take a list of source file paths instead of just their names so that the makefile can tell it exactly where to find each file. For the moment, files can be obtained from one of four places for each output directory: .../include/uapi/foo/ .../include/generated/uapi/foo/ .../include/foo/ .../include/generated/foo/ The non-UAPI paths will be dropped later.

2011-06-24headers_install: fix __packed in exported kernel headersMarkus Trippelsdorf
checkpatch.pl warns about using __attribute__((packed)) in kernel headers: "__packed is preferred over __attribute__((packed))". If one follows that advice it could cause problems in the exported header files, because the outside world doesn't know about this shortcut. For example busybox will fail to compile: CC miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.o In file included from miscutils/ubi_attach_detach.c:27:0: /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:330:3: error: conflicting types for ‘__packed’ /usr/include/mtd/ubi-user.h:314:3: note: previous declaration of ‘__packed’ was here ... Fix the problem by substituting __packed with __attribute__((packed)) in the header_install.pl script.

If unifdef fails for any reason (like segfaulting), we should be aborting the install steps. So check its exit status in this unlikely scenario. Reported-by: Diego Elio Pettenò <flameeyes@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2009-10-11warn about use of uninstalled kernel headersArnd Bergmann
User applications frequently hit problems when they try to use the kernel headers directly, rather than the exported headers. This adds an explicit warning for this case, and points to a URL holding an explanation of why this is wrong and what to do about it.

2009-01-02kbuild: in headers_install autoconvert asm/inline/volatile to __xxx__Mike Frysinger
Headers in userspace should be using the __xxx__ form of the asm, inline, and volatile keywords. Since people like to revert these things without realizing what's going on, have the headers install step autoconvert these keywords.

2008-10-29Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0Jeremy Huntwork
Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0. It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8. I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still be some that hit it, I imagine. There are three basic issues: 1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3. 2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of. 3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

2008-07-25kbuild: install all headers when arch is changedSam Ravnborg
We see some header files that are selected dependent on the actual architecture so force a reinstallation of all header files when the arch changes. This slows down "make headers_check_all" but then we better reflect reality. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-07-25kbuild: optimize headers_* targetsSam Ravnborg
Move the core functionality of headers_install and headers_check to two small perl scripts. The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and changed to operate on all files in a directory. So if one file is changed then all files in the directory is processed. perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this is pure text processing which perl is good at and especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to see changes / new checks implmented. The speed is ~300% faster on this box. And the output generated to the screen is now down to two lines per directory (one for install, one for check) so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build. The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
