Add better support for (non-incremental) 2.6.x.y patches; If an ending
version number if not specified, the script automatically increments the
SUBLEVEL (x in 2.6.x.y) until no more patch files are found; however,
EXTRAVERSION (y in 2.6.x.y) is never automatically incremented but must be
specified fully.
patch-kernel does not normally support reverse patching, but does so when
applying EXTRAVERSION (x.y) patches, so that moving from 2.6.11.y to
2.6.11.z is easy and handled by the script (reverse 2.6.11.y and apply
2.6.11.z).

The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so
that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually
worked out what we're running on today.
This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between
_[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the
various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers
for kallsyms.

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.
No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.
Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:
LANG= make menuconfig
is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.
Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:
http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes
To start the translation process:
make update-po-config
This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.
To test your translation, as root issue this command:
msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po
Replace "es" with your language code.
Then execute, for instance:
make menuconfig
The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.
Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.
I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

xmlto uses standared XSLT templates to generate manpages, (x)html pages, and
XML FO files which can be processed with passivetex. This is much faster than
using jadetex for everything. This patch also reduces the number of

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

Another attempt at that...
The attached patch fixes the longstanding problem with USB bcdDevice
numeric ranges incorrectly converted into patterns for MODULE_ALIAS
generation. Previously it put both the lower and the upper limits into
the pattern, dlXdhY, making it impossible to fnmatch against except for
a few special cases, like dl*dh* or dlXdhX.
The patch makes it generate multiple MODULE_ALIAS lines covering the
whole range with fnmatch-able patterns. E.g. for a range between 0x0001
and 0x8345 it gives the following patterns:
000[1-9]
00[1-9]*
0[1-9]*
[1-7]*
8[0-2]*
83[0-3]*
834[0-5]
Since bcdDevice is 2 bytes wide = 4 digits in hex representation, the
max no. of patters is 2 * 4 - 1 = 7.
The values are BCD (binary-coded decimals) and not hex, so patterns
using a dash seem to be safe regardless of locale collation order.
The patch changes bcdDevice part of the alias from dlXdhY to dZ, but
this shouldn't have big compatibility issues because fnmatch()-based
modprobing hasn't yet been widely used. Besides, the most common (and
almost the only working) case of dl*dh* becomes d* and thus continues to
work.
The patch is against 2.6.12-rc2, applies to -mm3 with an offset. The
matching patch to fix the MODALIAS environment variable now generated by
the usb hotplug function follows.

Fix sort behavior when long names are encountered. The previour regular
expression depended on a tab to find the size in a string. For long names,
this tab no longer exists, so it is smarter to check for a colon instead.
For the kernel, this change shouldn't make a difference. But people
started using the same script for c++ code in other projects.

Randy Dunlap found one case where checkstack reported a false
positive. From objdump of efi_stub.o:
5: 81 ea 00 00 00 c0 sub $0xc0000000,%edx
With the old code, this was interpreted as a negative number. The
output line was:
0xc0116f5d efi_call_phys: 1073741824
Randy wanted a change to return the correct number, like this:
0xc0116f5d efi_call_phys: 3221225472
adding "or I can just ignore it, like I've been doing for awhile..."

Here's a little patch which is useful for showing timing information for
kernel bootup activities.
This patch adds a new Kconfig option under "Kernel Hacking" and a new
option for the kernel command line. It also provides a script for showing
delta information.
Note that the timing data may not be correct on some platforms until after
time_init() is called.
Recently (as of about 2.6.10) I found that the message log produced by
dmesg is truncated when I use this feature. That is, the first few printk
messages of the boot sequence are not in the dmesg output, although they
are printed to console during startup. This is a new behavior - dmesg
output was fine as of 2.6.9. Increasing CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT had no effect
on the truncation.
Has something changed with printk recently?

This provides a port of checkstack for sh64 for the simple frames
allocated as an immediate with a single instruction.
Stack frame creation on sh64 happens in a couple of different ways,
when the frame size is less than 511 bytes an addi or addi.l is
typically used, generally along the lines of something like:
addi{,.l} r15, -IMM_FRAME_SIZE, r15
For larger frames, this ends up getting split up into a
movi/sub pair:
movi IMM_FRAME_SIZE, rX
sub r15, rX, r15
We currently don't handle the split pair case, as basically
any register can be used, and there is no easy way to determine
what happens without scanning the prologue multiple times and
using some sort of register cache (we already do something
similar for the sh64 stack unwinder, but it would be preferable
not to do this in perl..).
This does have limited usefulness in that we are not easily able
to check for huge frames without manual inspection, but this is
still useful enough in the general case to be worth doing for
the addi/addi.l case as long as people are aware of this caveat.
It may be worth revisiting at a later point to try and catch the
larger users though.

When tossing around with different gcc compilers there is no way to tell kbuild
to ignore the new name of the compiler. The new option KBUILD_NOCMDDEP tell
kbuild not to check the commandline for changes.
This should be used with care because the resulting kernel may become inconsistent
if one part is build with 2.96, and another part build with 3.3.4.
So use only when you know what you are doing.
Syntax:
make KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1

This patch makes several tweaks so that an initramfs image can be
completely created by an unprivileged user. It should maintain
compatibility with previous initramfs early userspace cpio/image creation
and it updates documentation.
There are a few very important tweaks:
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE is now either a single cpio archive that is
directly used or a list of directories and files for building a cpio
archive for the initramfs image. Making the cpio archive listable in
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE makes the cpio step more official and automated so
that it doesn't have to be copied by hand to usr/initramfs_data.cpio (I
think this was broken anyway and would be overwritten). The alternative
list of directories *and* files means that files can be install in a "root"
directory and device-special files can be listed in a file list.
CONFIG_ROOT_UID and CONFIG_ROOT_GID are now available for doing simple
user/group ID translation. That means that user ID 500, group ID 500 can
create all the files in the "root" directory, but that they can all be
owned by user ID 0, group ID 0 in the cpio image.
Various documentation updates to pull it all together.
Removal of old cruft that was unused/misleading.
