There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have
modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling
mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to
either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully.
This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section
that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on
by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely
ignored or added to the whitelist.

There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because
the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls
in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this
is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount
function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is
unnecessary.
The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time.
A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections
come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they
are created.
Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86.

Description:
This bug hardly appears during real kernel compiling,
because the vmlinux symbols table is huge.
But we can still catch it under strict condition , as follows.
$ echo "c101b97b T do_fork" | ./scripts/kallsyms --all-symbols
#include <asm/types.h>
......
......
.globl kallsyms_token_table
ALGN
kallsyms_token_table:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
If symbols table is small, all entries in token_profit[0x10000] may
decrease to 0 after several calls of compress_symbols() in optimize_result().
In that case, find_best_token() always return 0 and
best_table[i] is set to "\0\0" and best_table_len[i] is set to 2.
As a result, expand_symbol(best_table[0]="\0\0", best_table_len[0]=2, buf)
in write_src() will run in infinite recursion until stack overflows,
causing segfault.
This patch checks the find_best_token() return value. If all entries in
token_profit[0x10000] become 0 according to return value, it breaks the loop
in optimize_result().
And expand_symbol() works well when best_table_len[i] is 0.

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.
In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.
Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).
Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the

http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of
the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function

There is an increasing amount of header files
shared between individual architectures in asm-generic.
To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just
include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide
some basic support in kbuild for this.
With the following patch an architecture can maintain
a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild
To use a generic file just add:
generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h>
For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary
wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm.
When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created.
The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32
patchset - although a different method is used.
The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann.
Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic.

Building a kernel with "make W=1" produces far too much noise to be
useful.
Divide the warning options in three groups:
W=1 - warnings that may be relevant and does not occur too often
W=2 - warnings that occur quite often but may still be relevant
W=3 - the more obscure warnings, can most likely be ignored
When building the whole kernel, those levels produce:
W=1 - 4859 warnings
W=2 - 1394 warnings
W=3 - 86666 warnings
respectively. Warnings have been counted with Geert's script at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/geert/linux-log/linux-log-summary.pl
Many warnings occur from .h files so fixing one file may have a nice
effect on the total number of warnings.
With these changes I am actually tempted to try W=1 now and then.
Previously there was just too much noise.
Borislav:
- make the W= levels exclusive
- move very noisy and making little sense for the kernel warnings to W=3
- drop -Woverlength-strings due to useless warning message
- copy explanatory text for the different warning levels to 'make help'
- recount warnings per level

Commit 40aee729b3 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input')
fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a
choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop.
However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because
when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length
and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this
happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable
today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
because conversion should be strict by default.
The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
kstrtoull()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.
strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.
Use kstrto*() in code today!
Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and

Regenerated the parser after "genksyms: Track changes to enum
constants".
Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
Enum constants can be used as array sizes; if the enum itself does not
appear in the symbol expansion, a change in the enum constant will go
unnoticed. Example patch that changes the ABI but does not change the
checksum with current genksyms:
| enum e {
| E1,
| E2,
|+ E3,
| E_MAX
| };
|
| struct s {
| int a[E_MAX];
| }
|
| int f(struct s *s) { ... }
| EXPORT_SYMBOL(f)
Therefore, remember the value of each enum constant and
expand each occurence to <constant> <value>. The value is not actually
computed, but instead an expression in the form
(last explicitly assigned value) + N
is used. This avoids having to parse and semantically understand whole
of C.
Note: The changes won't take effect until the lexer and parser are
rebuilt by the next patch.
