When gen_initramfs_list is used to generate make dependencies, it
includes symbolic links, for which make tracks the link target. Any
change to that target will cause an initramfs rebuild, even if the
symlink points to something outside of the initramfs directory.
If the target happens to be /tmp, the rebuild occurs for each kernel
build, since gen_initramfs_list uses mktemp...
Proposed way to fix it is to omit symbolic links from generated
dependencies, but this has a small drawback: changing perm/owner on a
symlink will go unnoticed.

Massimo Maiurana reported (slightly edited):
=====
In latest 2.6.29 "make update-po-config" fails at msguniq invocation
with an "invalid control sequence" error.
The offending string is the following, and it's located in
drivers/staging/panel/Kconfig:72:
"'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The"
looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in
this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise
it as a valid one.
A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically
escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that
msguniq would not complain.
=====
This patch implements the suggested escaping.

With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
export, but other things matter too:
1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section,
2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.
5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.
So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in
the signature. Now it's general we can add others later on without
confusion.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the
peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough.
However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across
a family of processors, even products from different companies. This
makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or
simply not straight-forward.
Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear
that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle
slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data').
Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
is defined.
To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id
entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

'make randconfig' uses glibc's rand function, and the seed of
that PRNG is set via:
srand(time(NULL));
But 'time()' only increases once every second - freezing the
randconfig result within a single second.
My Nehalem testbox does randconfig much faster than 1 second
and i have a few scripts that do 'randconfig until condition X'
loops.
Those scripts currently waste a lot of CPU time due to randconfig
changing its seed only once per second currently.
Change the seed to be micrseconds based. (I checked the statistical
spread of the seed - the now.tv_sec*now.tv_usec multiplication
there further improves it.)

With the following patch we:

- properly randomize for multi choice blocks
- added several comments to explain what is going on
The root cause of the bug was that SYMBOL_VALID was set on the
symbol representing the choice block so clearing this did
the trick initially.
But testign revealed a few more issues that is now fixed.

Impact: bugfix, output more reliable symbol lookup result
Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols.
But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols
are symbols with the same address), and the first aliased symbol is
sometime not proper.
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# cat trace
......
1) 1.923 us | select_nohz_load_balancer();
1) + 76.692 us | }
1) | default_idle() {
1) ==========> | __irqentry_text_start() {
1) 0.000 us | native_apic_mem_write();
1) | irq_enter() {
1) 0.000 us | idle_cpu();
1) | tick_check_idle() {
1) 0.000 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast();
1) | tick_nohz_stop_idle() {
......
It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()",
actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()".
(these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start"
is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms)
This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second
aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first.
Aliased symbols mostly come from linker script. The solution is
guessing "is this symbol defined in linker script", the symbols
defined in linker script will not become the first aliased symbol.
And if symbols are found to be equal in this "linker script provided"
criteria, symbols are sorted by the number of prefix underscores.

Running 'make rpm' fails when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using a kernel source
tree under SCM. This is due to KERNELRELEASE being different when the initial make
is run and when make is run from rpmbuild.
mkspec creates kernel.spec using KERNELRELEASE:
<mkspec>
echo "%files"
echo '%defattr (-, root, root)'
echo "%dir /lib/modules"
echo "/lib/modules/$KERNELRELEASE"
echo "/lib/firmware"
echo "/boot/*"
echo ""
</mkspec>
When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y scripts/setlocalversion is called and grabs any
additional version info from SCM. Next, the srctree is tarred up and SCM
information is excluded.
rpmbuild reruns make and in the process generates a new include/config/kernel.release
and thus a new KERNELRELEASE. However this time the SCM information is gone so
KERNELRELEASE no longer has the additional version information. When "make modules_install"
runs, it uses the new KERNELRELEASE value to determine where to install the modules.
This conflicts with where the spec file assumes they are going because of the
mis-matching KERNELRELEASE versions.

Impact: stack protector for x86_32
Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu
variable.
x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely
need something better.

Impact: fix failure of dynamic function tracer selftest
In a course of development, a developer does several makes on their
kernel. Sometimes, the make might do something abnormal. In the
case of running the recordmcount.pl script on an object twice,
the script will duplicate all the calls to mcount in the __mcount_loc
section.
On boot up, the dynamic function tracer is careful when it modifies
code, and performs several consistency checks. One is to not modify
the call site if it is not what it expects it to be. If a function
call site is listed twice, the first entry will convert the site
to a nop, and the second will fail because it expected to see a
call to mcount, but instead it sees a nop. Thus, the function tracer
is disabled.

This warning shows that check_corruption+0x3 already had a nop in
its place (0x0f1f440000). After compiling another kernel the problem
went away.
Later Eric Paris notice the same type of issue. Luckily, he saved
the vmlinux file that caused it. In the file we found a bunch of
duplicate mcount call site records, which lead us to the script.
Perhaps this problem only happens to people named Eric.
This patch changes the script to test if the __mcount_loc already
exists in the object file, and if it does, it will print out
an error message and kill the compile.

In the general use case struct seq_operations should be a const object.
Check for and warn where it is not.

We should not be continuing a braced section with an if, for example:
if (...) {
} if (...) {
}
Detect this and suggest adding a newline.

When we allow return to have surrounding parentheses when containing
comparison operators we are not correctly handling the case where the
values contain array sufffixes. Squash them.

We should not be complaining about the prefix spacing for types and casts.
We are triggering here because the check for spacing between '*'s is
overly loose. Tighten this up.
