6423133bde kernel-doc: allow multi-line declaration purpose descriptions
Allow the short description after symbol name and dash in a kernel-doc
comment to span multiple lines, e.g. like this:

	/**
	 * unmap_mapping_range - unmap the portion of all mmaps in the
	 *	specified address_space corresponding to the specified
	 *	page range in the underlying file.
	 * @mapping: the address space containing mmaps to be unmapped.
	 * ...
	 */

The short description ends with a parameter description, an empty line
or the end of the comment block.

09d3f3f0e0 sparc: Kill PROM console driver.
Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

48586218b6 kconfig: add missing dependency of conf to localyesconfig
There's a dependency missing.

$ make localyesconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64'
/bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127
make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2

Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m'
to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules
converted to built in!

The missing dependency was for conf for localyesconfig. This
dependency was already set for localmodconfig.

cdfc47950a kconfig: search for a config to base the local(mod|yes)config on
Instead of using the .config in the local directory. This patch
changes streamline_config.pl to search various locations for a config.

Here's the list and order of search:

  /proc/config.gz
  /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
  vmlinux  # local to the directory
  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/kernel/configs.ko
  kernel/configs.ko
  kernel/configs.o
  .config

Once it finds a file that contains a config (it checks if the binary
objects have configs first) it then uses it to create the .config
with minimum modules needed.

CONFIG_IKCONFIG to keep the current config in the kernel.
Then we can use scripts/extract-ikconfig to find the current

ea2c1894b6 kconfig: do not warn about modules built in
The streamline_config.pl finds all the configs that are needed to
compile the currently loaded modules. After it creates the .config
file, it tests to make sure all the configs that are needed were
set.

It only looks at the configs that are modules, it does not look
at the builtin configs. This causes unnecessary warnings about modules
not being covered.

74398d3224 kconfig: streamline_config.pl do not stop with no depends
If a config does not have a prompt, it must be selected.
streamline_config.pl keeps track of all configs that select other configs.
If a config that does not have a prompt needs to be set to enable a
current module, it will include all configs that select it.
Note, streamline_config.pl does not enable modules that are not already
enabled. It only keeps enabled those that were enabled and might be
needed to compile the current modules.

The code to find the selects of a config is after the code that
adds the depends. But if a config needed selects but had no dependencies,
it would not be set. Because the code would stop before getting to
the select.

dcc60243e7 kconfig: add streamline_config.pl to scripts
streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install
a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that
it can take forever to compile the kernel.

Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring
down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask
someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that
person may not even know how to build a kernel.

This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the
current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which
CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the
dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG.
Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is
not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to
standard out.

Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds
a distribution .config.

 $ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl
 $ mv .config config-save
 $ mv config-sl .config
 $ make oldconfig

Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also
take much less time to build the kernel.

7dbdee2e9a tracing: Fix recordmcount.pl to handle sections with only weak functions
Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak
function in one of the staging drivers and this caused
recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail.

Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and
this function only be used in one place, it should not be something
to make recordmcount.pl fail.

This patch fixes the issue in a simple manner: if only weak
functions exist in a section, then that section will not be
recorded.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific.

Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called:

   LM93_IN_FROM_REG()

But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones
you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have:

 Disassembly of section .text:

 0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>:
       0:       7c 08 02 a6     mflr    r0
       4:       fb 81 ff e0     std     r28,-32(r1)

The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols
that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly
stage.

The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows
the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the
--synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a
local.

Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a
reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a
reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if
that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink
the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case,
we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert
the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it
back to a local symbol.

This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted
into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain
unresolved.

The value of $offset should be the offset of $ref_func from the

This fixes a bug I was hitting on sh where $offset (which is used to
calcualte the addends for the __mcount_loc entries) was being set
multiple times and didn't correspond to $ref_func's offset in the object
file. The addends in __mcount_loc were calculated incorrectly, resulting
in ftrace dynamically modifying addresses that weren't mcount call
sites.

into the wrong function:  should have been in dump_struct()
instead of in dump_enum().

15e3252464 fbdev: work around old compiler bug
When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
error:

drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict

This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file").  This is a partial revert of
that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.

Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.

Sam said:

  Al analysed this some time ago.  When we say something is const then
  _sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not.  So if
  we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
  annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
  conflict.

In the series for 2.6.31 it was noticed to ship the copyright,
but the generated changelog got lost somehow.

As bonus the generated linux-image deb packages are Lenny lintian clean.

405d967dc7 linker script: throw away .discard section
x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do.  Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules.  Make every arch
and module linking throw it away.  This will be used to define dummy
variables for percpu declarations and definitions.

This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

2521f2c228 gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

ae52bb2384 fbdev: move logo externs to header file
Now we have __initconst, we can finally move the external declarations for
the various Linux logo structures to <linux/linux_logo.h>.

James' ack dates back to the previous submission (way to long ago), when the
logos were still __initdata, which caused failures on some platforms with some
toolchain versions.
