2017-01-26Documentation: dontdiff: Update with additional entriesFlorian Fainelli1-2/+5
Add a bunch of entries reflective of programs that the kernel build: sortextable, dtc. And while at it, expand the lex*.c entries to cover e.g: dtc-lexer.c. Finally, exclude devicetable-offsets.h Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2016-12-14Remove last traces of ikconfig.hPaul Bolle1-1/+0
The build system stopped generating ikconfig.h in v2.6.8. Remove an entry for it in dontdiff. There's also a reference to it in a small comment. Remove that comment too, as it is of little help in any case. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2016-06-07GCC plugin infrastructureEmese Revfy1-0/+1
This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too. Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins. The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory there. The plugins compile with these options: * -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too * -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too * -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too * -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal errors) * -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h) * -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version variable, plugin-version.h) The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++). This script also checks the availability of the included headers in scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h. The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions. The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes. Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules. Based on work created by the PaX Team.

2009-10-07kconfig: simplification of scripts/extract-ikconfigDick Streefland1-1/+0
I've rewritten the extract-ikconfig script to extract the kernel configuration from a kernel compiled with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. The main motivation for the rewrite was to remove the dependency on the external C program binoffset.c, which is compiled on the initial run. The binoffset executable is invoked with a relative path, which means that the old script can only be run from the top of the kernel tree, and only when you have write permission in the scripts directory. The new script uses tr/grep/tail/zcat only, and can be invoked from anywhere. The binoffset.c program has been removed. This script requires GNU grep 2.5 (released 2002-03-13) or higher, because the -o option was introduced in that version.

2009-09-15sparc: Kill PROM console driver.David S. Miller1-1/+0
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500) so there are no excuses. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-10-17lk201: remove obsolete driverMaciej W. Rozycki1-1/+0
Remove the old-fashioned lk201 driver under drivers/tc/ that used to be used by the old dz.c and zs.c drivers, which is now orphan code referred to from nowhere and does not build anymore. A modern replacement is available as drivers/input/keyboard/lkkbd.c. There are no plans to do anything about this piece of code and it does not fit anywhere anymore, so it is not just a matter of maintenance or the lack of. There are still some bits that might be added to the new lkkbd.c driver based on the old code, and the embedded hardware documentation which is otherwise quite hard to get hold of might be useful to keep too. Both of these can be done separately though. RIP. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
