5dffbe811b kbuild: show defconfig subdirs in make help
PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific
subdirs soon.  "make help" currently does not look in subdirs to
find the defconfigs to show.  This is partially a good thing,
since there are way too many defconfigs for one list.

This patch makes the main "make help" display something like

  help-40x         - Show 40x-specific targets
  help-44x         - Show 44x-specific targets
  help-boards      - Show all of the above

and wires up stuff so those new help-* commands actually work.

[sam: fixed it up to display x86 defconfigs too]

35bb5b1e0e Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4

gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.

I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures.  With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.

With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.

At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should
obsolete make checkstack

4ce6efed48 kbuild: soften modpost checks when doing cross builds
The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

Building vmlinux.o were moved up in the dependency chain so we started
to build it before the kallsym stuff. This was done to let modpost
report section mismatch bugs even when the final link failed.

Originally I had expected the dependency of $(kallsyms.o) to
cover this but it turns out that we need to be even more explicit.
Fix this by adding a conditional dependency on firat target
used in the kallsyms serie of builds.

I just read the excellent LWN writeup of the vmsplice

Some analysis later.. it turns out that the following line
in the top level Makefile, added by you in October 2007,
entirely disables CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR ;(
With this line removed the exploit will be nicely stopped.

CFLAGS          += $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector)

Now I realize that certain distros have patched gcc to
compensate for their lack of distro wide CFLAGS, and it's
great to work around that... but would there be a way to NOT
disable this for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR please?
It would have made this exploit not possible for those kernels
that enable this feature (and that includes distros like Fedora)

Move the assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including
the arch specific Makefile so arch makefiles may override
the setting.

551559e13a kbuild: implement modules.order
When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile.  This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.

When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected.  However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules).  This causes confusion.

The solution is two-parted.  This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile.  The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.

Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.

Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

1cacc9ab8b kbuild: fix building with redirected output.
Jan Altenberg <jan.altenberg@linutronix.de> reported that
building with redirected input like this failed:
make O=dir oldconfig bzImage < /dev/null

The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being
run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build
failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin.

Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the
top-level Makefile re-made by make.
Introducing an empty rule for the top-level Makefile
(and Kbuild.include) fixed the issue.

80ef88d6d2 x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config
Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again
can set 64BIT in all.config.

For a fix the diffstat is nice:
 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

The patch reverts these commits:
0f855aa64b
-> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable

2a113281f5
-> kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string
compares so the additional complexity introduced by the
above two patches were not needed.

With this patch we have following behaviour:

# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit
=====================================================
./.                     | 32bit         | 64bit
ARCH=x86                | 32bit         | 32bit
ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture
takes precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit
kernel no matter what the configuration says.
The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was
configured to 64-bit and the other way around.

This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so
no suprises here.

make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel
but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select
between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.

daa93fab82 x86: enable "make ARCH=x86"
After unification of the Kconfig files and
introducing K64BIT support in kconfig
it required only trivial changes to enable
"make ARCH=x86".

With this patch you can build for x86_64 in several ways:
1) make ARCH=x86_64
2) make ARCH=x86 K64BIT=y
3) make ARCH=x86 menuconfig
   => select 64-bit

Likewise for i386 with the addition that
i386 is default is you say ARCH=x86.
