bb44ad39c8 checkpatch: trailing statements ensure we report the end of the line
When reporting some complex trailing statements we report only the
starting line of the error, that tends to imply the shown line is in error
and confuse the reader.  As we do know where the actual error is report
that line too with an appropriate gap marker where applicable.

    #ERROR: trailing statements should be on next line
    #1: FILE: Z202.c:1:
    +       for (pbh = page_buffers(bh->b_page); pbh != bh;

d945b697d0 Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.
This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx).

I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays,
and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it
bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this
introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so
it shouldn't matter too much.

(Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of
them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but
doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

f9b9796ade Add a script to visualize the kernel boot process / time
When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize
what is going on at which time. In addition, with some of the initializing
going asynchronous soon, it's valuable to track/print which worker thread
is executing the initialization.

This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be
shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change
to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall
(so that the script can work out the parallelism).

89d49841e9 [S390] Fix checkstack for s390
With -march=z990 and later gcc can use the long displacement facility
insruction lay for stack register handling. This patch adopts checkstack
to catch lay in addition to ahi and aghi.

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
(commit d35cb360c2)

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.

Thanks for the bug report!
