2008-07-25find dynamic stack allocations in checkstack.plEric Sandeen1-1/+23
Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack pointer. However, things like this: void function(int size) { char stackbuster[size << 2]; ... are certainly worth pointing out, I think. This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works: 0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) ...

Add checks for the question mark colon operator spacing, and also check the other uses of colon. Colon means a number of things: - it introduces the else part of the ?: operator, - it terminates a goto label, - it terminates the case value, - it separates the identifier from the bit size on bit fields, and - it is used to introduce option types in asm().

Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port. If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail to build modules with the added register save/restore module. There were two obvious solutions: 1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage 2) To ignore the symbols in modpost Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate linking stage for single file modules.

This version is a bit of a whopper.

When we introduced support for KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS we started to include the externam module's kbuild file when doing the final modpost step. As external modules often do: ccflags-y := -I$(src) We had problems because $(src) was unassinged and gcc then used the next parameter for -I resulting in strange build failures. Fix is to assign $(src) and $(obj) when building external modules.

2008-05-23kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o optionSteven Rostedt1-1/+2
We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a way to remove them if needed. With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each and every function is ugly. Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward. This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o. This allows developers to prevent certain CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory. Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.
