kernel-doc: handle varargs cleanly

2008-12-02T03:55:25Z

The method for listing varargs in kernel-doc notation is: * @...: these arguments are printed by the @fmt argument but scripts/kernel-doc is confused: it always lists varargs as: ... variable arguments and ignores the @...: line's description, but then prints that line after the list of function parameters as though it's not part of the function parameters. This patch makes kernel-doc print the supplied @... description if it is present; otherwise a boilerplate "variable arguments" is printed.

kbuild: Fixup deb-pkg target to generate separate firmware deb

2008-11-09T22:02:58Z

The below is a simplistic fix for "make deb-pkg"; it splits the firmware out to a linux-firmware-image package and adds an (unversioned) Suggests to the linux package for this firmware. Signed-Off-By: Jonathan McDowell Acked-by: Frans Pop Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0

2008-10-29T21:38:37Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Huntwork Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: tag with git revision when git describe is missing

2008-10-29T21:25:36Z

setlocalversion used to use an abbreviated git commit sha1 to generate the tag. This was changed in commit d882421f4e08ddf0a94245cdbe516db260aa6f41 "kbuild: change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO to use a git-describe-ish format" to use git describe to come up with a tag. Which is nice, but git describe sometimes can't describe the revision. Commit 56b2f0706d82535fd8d85503f2dcc0be40c8e55d ("setlocalversion: do not describe if there is nothing to describe") addressed this, but there is still no tag generated. So, generate a plain abbreviated sha1 tag like setlocalversion used to when git describe comes up short. Signed-off-by: Trent Piepho CC: Jan Engelhardt Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: prevent modpost from looking for a .cmd file for a static library linked into a module

2008-10-29T21:02:10Z

This fixes a compile time warning which occurs whenever a static library is linked into a kernel module. MODPOST tries to look for a "..cmd" file to look for its dependencies, but that file doesn't exist or get generated for static libraries. This patch prevents modpost from looking for a .cmd file when a module is linked with a static library [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Ashutosh Naik Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

scripts/package: don't break if %{_smp_mflags} isn't set

2008-10-29T21:02:08Z

Currently, if we do a 'make rpm-pkg' without the _smp_mflags rpm macro defined, the build fails with: [snip] Executing(%build): /bin/bash -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.67959 + umask 022 + cd /home/jk/devel/kernel-snapshot/rpm/BUILD + cd kernel-2.6.26 + make clean + make '%{_smp_mflags}' make[3]: *** No rule to make target `%{_smp_mflags}'. Stop. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.67959 (%build) This change uses the 'null if not set' reference to the _smp_mflags macro instead.

kbuild: setlocalversion: dont include svn change count

2008-10-29T21:02:07Z

The number of pending changes is pretty useless, so encoding it into the version is just annoying by the constant shuffle in corresponding modules. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: mkspec - fix build rpm

2008-10-29T21:02:06Z

This is patch to fix incorrect mkspec script to make rpm correctly at 2.6.27 vanilla kernel. This is regression in 2.6.27. 2.6.26 make rpm work good. In 2.6.27 'make rpm' say error from rpmbuild "Many unpacked files (*.fw)." Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Manachkin Acked-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Stable
