d61931d89b x86: Add optimized popcnt variants
Add support for the hardware version of the Hamming weight function,
popcnt, present in CPUs which advertize it under CPUID, Function
0x0000_0001_ECX[23]. On CPUs which don't support it, we fallback to the
default lib/hweight.c sw versions.

A synthetic benchmark comparing popcnt with __sw_hweight64 showed almost
a 3x speedup on a F10h machine.

1373411ae4 kbuild: really fix bzImage build with non-bash sh
In an x86 build with CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA enabled and dash as sh,
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma ends with
'\xf0\x7d\x39\x00' (16 bytes) instead of the 4 bytes intended and
the resulting vmlinuz fails to boot.  This improves on the
previous behavior, in which the file contained the characters
'-ne ' as well, but not by much.

Previous commits replaced "echo -ne" first with "/bin/echo -ne",
then "printf" in the hope of improving portability, but none of
these commands is guaranteed to support hexadecimal escapes on
POSIX systems.  So use the shell to convert from hexadecimal to
octal.

With this change, an LZMA-compressed kernel built with dash as sh
boots correctly again.

7dd65feb6c lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernels
This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.

Russell King said:

: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort.  The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.

This patch:

The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction.  Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:

Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s

So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.

This part contains:
 - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
 - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
   compressed kernels
 - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
   block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
 - config dialog for kernel compression

9e1b9b8072 module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option
The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S.  Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h".  Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.

This also lets modpost.c use the same definition.  Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.

A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged.  vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

As has been discussed previously (and Sam has been CC'ed), the fix
is still incorrect.  It replaces "echo -ne" with "/bin/echo -ne",
but neither of the two are guaranteed to support the necessary
arguments and necessary (hexadecimal) escape sequences.  What should
be used here is printf(1).  The trivial patch below (on top of these

The "echo" here depends on the shell that /bin/sh pointing to.
On Ubuntu system, the /bin/sh is pointing to dash, which does not support
"echo -e" at all. Use /bin/echo instead of shell echo should always be safe.

2521f2c228 gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
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).

720097d895 kbuild: introduce subdir-ccflags-y
Following patch introduce support for setting options
to gcc that has effect for current directory and all
subdirectories.

The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that
decide to cover all files with -Werror.
Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their
Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so
as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.

Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such
as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single
line to net/Makefile.

e9d376f0fa dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printk
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

A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

bc22c17e12 bzip2/lzma: library support for gzip, bzip2 and lzma decompression
Impact: Replaces inflate.c with a wrapper around zlib_inflate; new library code

This is the first part of the bzip2/lzma patch

The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
compressors give smaller sizes than gzip.  Lzma's decompresses faster
than bzip2.

It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
compressors.

The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
the udpcast project

This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28

This part contains:
- changed inflate.c to accomodate rest of patch
- implementation of bzip2 compression (not used at this stage yet)
- implementation of lzma compression (not used at this stage yet)
- Makefile routines to support bzip2 and lzma kernel compression

346e15beb5 driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.

The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.

Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
their own debug levels and flags.

Usage:

Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:

	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
		.
		.
		.

	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not

For example:

	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
	fixup enabled=1
	driver enabled=0

Enable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Enable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

656ee82cc8 kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o option
We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a
way to remove them if needed.

With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding
the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each
and every function is ugly.

Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg
to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward.

This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with
CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o.  This allows developers to prevent certain
CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do

CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg

to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory.

Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

[1] - what David Miller called the workaronud to remove -pg

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.

Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.

836caba77c kbuild: kill backward compatibility checks
These checks has been present for several kernel releases (> 5).
So lets just get rid of them.
With this we no longer check for use of:
EXTRA_TARGETS, O_TARGET, L_TARGET, list-multi, export-objs

There were three remaining in-tree users of O_TARGET in some
unmaintained sh64 code - mail sent to the maintainer + list.

f5fb976520 kbuild: fix directory traversal bug
Previously kbuild choked over the following:
obj-y += ../../../arch/i386/kernel/bootflag.o

This has resulted in some rather ugly workarounds in
current x86_64 tree.
This patch fixes kbuild to allow the above and enable
potential cleanups in x86_64 and maybe in other places.

5e8d780d74 kbuild: fix ia64 breakage after introducing make -rR
kbuild used $¤(*F to get filename of target without extension.
This was used in several places all over kbuild, but introducing
make -rR broke his for all cases where we specified full path to
target/prerequsite. It is assumed that make -rR disables old style
suffix-rules which is why is suddenly failed.

ia64 was impacted by this change because several div* routines in
arch/ia64/lib are build using explicit paths and then kbuild failed.

Thanks to David Mosberger-Tang <David.Mosberger@acm.org> for an explanation
what was the root-cause and for testing on ia64.

This patch also fixes two uses of $(*F) in arch/um

d38b69689c Revert "kbuild: fix make -rR breakage"
This reverts commit e5c44fd88c.

Thanks to Daniel Ritz and Michal Piotrowski for noticing the problem.

Daniel says:

  "[The] reason is a recent change that made modules always shows as
   module.mod.  it breaks modprobe and probably many scripts..besides
   lsmod looking horrible

   stuff like this in modprobe.conf:
        install pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core; /sbin/modprobe pcmcia
   makes modprobe fork/exec endlessly calling itself...until oom
   interrupts it"

e5c44fd88c kbuild: fix make -rR breakage
make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F)
to get target filename without extension.
This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using:
$(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality.

d9df92e22a kbuild: properly pass options to hostcc when doing make O=..
This fix a longstanding bug where proper options was not
passed to hostcc in case of a make O=.. build.
This bug showed up in (not yet merged) klibc, and is not known
to have any counterpart in-kernel.
Fixed by moving the flags macro to Kbuild.include so it can be used
by both Makefile.lib and Makefile.host.

f83b5e323f kbuild: set correct KBUILD_MODNAME when using well known kernel symbols as module names
This patch fixes a problem when we use well known kernel symbols as module
names.

For example, if module source name is current.c, idle_stack.c or etc.,
we have a bad KBUILD_MODNAME value.
For example, KBUILD_MODNAME will be "get_current()" instead of "current", or
"(init_thread_union.stack)" instead of "idle_task".

The trick is to define a stringify macro on the commandline - named
KBUILD_STR for namespace reasons - and then to stringify the module
name.

There are a few uses of KBUILD_MODNAME throughout the tree but the usage
is for debug and will not be harmed by this change so left untouched for now.

While at it KBUILD_BASENAME was changed too. Any spinlock usage in the
unix module would have created wrong section names without it.
Usage in spinlock.h fixed so it no longer stringify KBUILD_BASENAME.

Original patch from Ustyogov Roman - all bugs introduced by me.

8ec4b4ff1c kbuild: introduce Kbuild.include
Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
