ftrace/scripts: Have recordmcount copy the object file

2015-12-16T20:46:07Z

Russell King found that he had weird side effects when compiling the kernel with hard linked ccache. The reason was that recordmcount modified the kernel in place via mmap, and when a file gets modified twice by recordmcount, it will complain about it. To fix this issue, Russell wrote a patch that checked if the file was hard linked more than once and would unlink it if it was. Linus Torvalds was not happy with the fact that recordmcount does this in place modification. Instead of doing the unlink only if the file has two or more hard links, it does the unlink all the time. In otherwords, it always does a copy if it changed something. That is, it does the write out if a change was made. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.37+ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks

2015-12-16T14:28:23Z

recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when using ccache in hardlink mode. Arrange for recordmcount to break a hardlinked object.

arch: um: fix error when linking vmlinux.

2015-12-08T21:25:13Z

On gcc Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04, linking vmlinux fails with: arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_create': /android/kernel/android/arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:51: undefined reference to `timer_create' arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_set_interval': /android/kernel/android/arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:84: undefined reference to `timer_settime' arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_remain': /android/kernel/android/arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:109: undefined reference to `timer_gettime' arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_one_shot': /android/kernel/android/arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:132: undefined reference to `timer_settime' arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o: In function `os_timer_disable': /android/kernel/android/arch/um/os-Linux/time.c:145: undefined reference to `timer_settime' This is because -lrt appears in the generated link commandline after arch/um/os-Linux/built-in.o. Fix this by removing -lrt from arch/um/Makefile and adding it to the UM-specific section of scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Colitti Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

kernel-doc: Make it compatible with Perl versions below 5.12 again

2015-11-18T00:20:14Z

Changeset 4d73270192ec('scripts/kernel-doc: Replacing highlights hash by an array') broke compatibility of the kernel-doc script with older versions of perl by using "keys ARRAY" syntax with is available only on Perl 5.12 or newer, according with: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/keys.html Restore backward compatibility by replacing "foreach my $k (keys ARRAY)" by a C-like variant: "for (my $k = 0; $k < !ARRAY; $k++)" Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

checkpatch: improve the unnecessary initialisers tests

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

Global and static variables don't need to be initialized to 0. There is already a test for this but the output message doesn't mention booleans initialized to false. Improve the output message and the test by adding various forms with possible specific integer types and possible multiple zeros.

checkpatch: improve tests for fixes:, long lines and stack dumps in commit log

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

Including BUG and stack dumps in commit logs makes checkpatch produce some false positive warning messages. checkpatch has multiple types of false positives: o Commit message lines > 75 chars o Stack dump address are mistaken for git commit IDs o Link: and Fixes: lines are allowed to be > 75 chars. o Fixes: style doesn't require ("") parentheses and double quotes like other uses of git commit ID and description. Fix these. Miscellanea: o Move the test for checking $commit_log_possible_stack_dump above the test for a long line commit message o Add test for hex address surrounded by square or angle brackets Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reported-by: Stephen Smalley Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
