I don't see any use case for the CONFIG_CC_ALIGN_* options:
- they are only available if EMBEDDED
- people using EMBEDDED will most likely also enable
CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
- the default for -Os is to disable alignment
In case someone is doing performance comparisons and discovers that the
default settings gcc chooses aren't good, the only sane thing is to discuss
whether it makes sense to change this, not through offering options to change
this locally.

Make SELinux depend on AUDIT as it requires the basic audit support to log
permission denials at all. Note that AUDITSYSCALL remains optional for
SELinux, although it can be useful in providing further information upon
denials.

Do not allow people to create configurations with CONFIG_BROKEN=y.
The sole reason for CONFIG_BROKEN=y would be if you are working on fixing a
broken driver, but in this case editing the Kconfig file is trivial.
Never ever should a user enable CONFIG_BROKEN.

It seems the "make UID16 support optional" patch was checked when it
edited the -tiny tree some time ago, but it wasn't checked whether it
still matches the current situation when it was submitted for inclusion
in -mm. This patch fixes the following bugs:
- ARCH_S390X does no longer exist, nowadays this has to be expressed
through (S390 && 64BIT)
- in five architecture specific Kconfig files the UID16 options
weren't removed
Additionally, it changes the fragile negative dependencies of UID16 to
positive dependencies (new architectures are more likely to not require
UID16 support).

This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Saves
about 5k.
This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
instead uses function stubs in vm86.h. Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
can live together.

configurable replacement for slab allocator
This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED. When CONFIG_SLAB is
disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator.
SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer,
similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced. It's
signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient. But like all
similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more
than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems.
It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree. I've also
stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not
recommended).
Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving
nearly half a megabyte of RAM:

The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.
The following changes are made:
(1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
code.
(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.
(3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

It was a stupid workaround for the "static inline" vs.
"extern inline" issues of long ago, and it is what causes
schedule() to be inlined like crazy into kernel/sched.c
when -Os is specified.
MIPS and S390 should probably do the same.
Now CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE can be safely used on sparc64
once more.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Also, disable on sparc64 - a number of people report breakage. Probably
a compiler bug, but it's quite possible that it tickles some latent
kernel problem too.
It still defaults to 'y' everywhere else (when enabled through
EXPERIMENTAL), and Dave Jones points out that Fedora (and RHEL4) has
been building with size optimizations for a long time on x86, x86-64,
ia64, s390, s390x, ppc32 and ppc64. So it is really only moderately
experimental, but the sparc64 breakage certainly shows that it can
trigger "issues".

Let's put my money where my mouth is. Smaller code is almost always
faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles
to make up for. And system software - kernels in particular - are known
for taking more cache misses than most other kinds.
On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench
seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

upon the git commit
If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the
current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and
the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it
easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your
older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

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!
