*	kbuild: warn when a moduled uses a symbol marked UNUSED	Sam Ravnborg	2006-07-01	1	-0/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	We now have infrastructure in place to mark an EXPORTed symbol as unused. So the natural next step is to warn during buildtime when a module uses a symbol marked UNUSED. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
*	kbuild: check license compatibility when building modules	Sam Ravnborg	2006-06-09	1	-0/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild, the build will fail during the modpost step. When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol then warn during modpost so author are actually notified. The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel to make sure it is in sync.

*	kbuild: export-type enhancement to modpost.c	Ram Pai	2006-06-09	1	-0/+3
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This patch provides the ability to identify the export-type of each exported symbols in Module.symvers. NOTE: It updates the Module.symvers file with the additional information as shown below. 0x0f8b92af platform_device_add_resources vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL 0xcf7efb2a ethtool_op_set_tx_csum vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ram Pai <linuxram@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avantika Mathur <mathur@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Valdis Kletnieks <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
*	[PATCH] kbuild: fix modpost segfault for 64bit mipsel kernel	Atsushi Nemoto	2006-05-21	1	-2/+19
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Here is an updated r_info layout fix. Please apply "check SHT_REL sections" patch before this. 64bit mips has different r_info layout. This patch fixes modpost segfault for 64bit little endian mips kernel.

*	[PATCH] kbuild: check SHT_REL sections	Atsushi Nemoto	2006-05-21	1	-0/+2
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	I found that modpost can not detect section mismatch on mips and i386. On mips64, the modpost (with r_info layout fix) can detect it. The current modpst only checks SHT_RELA section but I suppose SHT_REL section should be checked also. This patch does not contain r_info layout fix. I'll post an updated r_info layout fix on next mail. Check SHT_REL sections as like as SHT_RELA sections to detect section mismatch.

*	Revert "kbuild: fix modpost segfault for 64bit mipsel kernel"	Linus Torvalds	2006-05-08	1	-19/+0
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This reverts commit c8d8b837ebe4b4f11e1b0c4a2bdc358c697692ed, which caused problems for the x86 build. Quoth Sam: "It was discussed on mips list but apparently the fix was bogus. I will not have time to look into it so mips can carry this local fix until we get a proper fix in mainline."

\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

*	kbuild: use warn()/fatal() consistent in modpost	Sam Ravnborg	2006-02-19	1	-1/+6

*	Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	2005-04-17	1	-0/+107
	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!
