kconfig-language: fix comment on dependency-generated menu structures.

2016-05-10T15:30:09Z

In the given example, the comment becomes visible when it's dependency is set to 'n', but the text asserts the opposite. Signed-off-by: Dirk Gouders Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: document recursive dependency limitation / resolution

2015-10-08T13:36:16Z

Recursive dependency issues with kconfig are unavoidable due to some limitations with kconfig, since these issues are recurring provide a hint to the user how they can resolve these dependency issues and also document why such limitation exists. While at it also document a bit of future prospects of ways to enhance Kconfig, including providing formal semantics and evaluation of use of a SAT solver. If you're interested in this work or prospects of it check out the kconfig-sat project wiki [0] and mailing list [1].

modsign: Allow password to be specified for signing key

2015-08-07T15:26:14Z

We don't want this in the Kconfig since it might then get exposed in /proc/config.gz. So make it a parameter to Kbuild instead. This also means we don't have to jump through hoops to strip quotes from it, as we would if it was a config option.

kbuild: Allow arch Makefiles to override {cpp,ld,c}flags

2015-07-06T05:39:00Z

Since commit a1c48bb1 (Makefile: Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options), the arch Makefile is included earlier by the main Makefile, preventing the arc architecture to set its -O3 compiler option. Since there might be more use cases for an arch Makefile to fine-tune the options, add support for ARCH_CPPFLAGS, ARCH_AFLAGS and ARCH_CFLAGS variables that are appended to the respective kbuild variables. The user still has the final say via the KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS variables. Reported-by: Vineet Gupta Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16+ Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild : Fix documentation of INSTALL_HDR_PATH

2015-06-22T15:56:07Z

The header install makefile creates an 'include' directory inside INSTALL_HDR_PATH and appending include to the path results in headers being installed to include/include. Don't recommend appending include to the path as makefile already does this. Signed-off-by: Anish Bhatt Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

kbuild: edit explanation of clean-files variable

2015-06-08T22:45:46Z

kbuild: allow cc-ifversion to have the argument for false condition

2015-01-09T16:25:44Z

The macro "try-run" can have an argument for each of true and false cases. Having an argument for the false case of cc-ifversion (and ld-ifversion) would be useful too. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

kbuild: do not add $(call ...) to invoke cc-version or cc-fullversion

2015-01-09T16:25:44Z

The macros cc-version, cc-fullversion and ld-version take no argument. It is not necessary to add $(call ...) to invoke them. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Helge Deller [parisc] Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
