I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

kconfig: readd lost change count

2008-09-29T15:03:01Z

Commit f072181e6403b0fe2e2aa800a005497b748fd284 ("kconfig: drop the ""trying to assign nonexistent symbol" warning") simply dropped the warnings, but it does a little more than that, it also marks the current .config as needed saving, so add this back.

kconfig: fix silentoldconfig

2008-09-29T15:03:01Z

Recent changes to oldconfig have mixed up the silentoldconfig handling, so this fixes that by clearly separating that special mode, e.g. KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE is only relevant here, the .config is written as needed. This will also properly close Bug 11230. Signed-off-by: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel-doc: allow structs whose members are all private

2008-09-23T15:09:13Z

Struct members may be marked as private by using /* private: */ before them, as noted in Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt Fix kernel-doc to handle structs whose members are all private; otherwise invalid XML is generated: xmlto: input does not validate (status 3) linux-2.6.27-rc6-git4/Documentation/DocBook/debugobjects.xml:146: element variablelist: validity error : Element variablelist content does not follow the DTD, expecting ((title , titleabbrev?)? , varlistentry+), got () Document linux-2.6.27-rc6-git4/Documentation/DocBook/debugobjects.xml does not validate make[1]: *** [Documentation/DocBook/debugobjects.html] Error 3 Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Reported-by: Roland McGrath Cc: Roland McGrath Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

With 22454cb99fc39f2629ad06a7eccb3df312f8830e we added only the first entry of the device table. We need to loop over the whole device list. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bugfix for scripts/patch-kernel in 2.6 sublevel stepping

2008-08-06T20:11:33Z

scripts/patch-kernel script can't patch a tree, say, from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26.1, because of a wrong comparison in context of patching 2.6.x base. Fix it. Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kernel-doc: skip nested struct/union cleanly

2008-08-05T21:33:49Z

Fix handling of nested structs or unions. The regex to strip (eliminate) nested structs or unions was limited to only 0 or 1 matches. This can cause an uneven number of left/right braces to be stripped, which causes this: Warning(linux-2.6.27-rc1-git2//include/net/mac80211.h:336): No description found for parameter '}' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

They really stand out now that make *config is less chatty - and they are generally ignored - so drop them. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Roman Zippel Cc: Adrian Bunk

kconfig: always write out .config

Always write out .config also in the case where config did not change. This fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11230 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Josh Boyer Cc: Adrian Bunk
