kbuild: fix spurious initramfs rebuild

2009-04-11T06:18:12Z

When gen_initramfs_list is used to generate make dependencies, it includes symbolic links, for which make tracks the link target. Any change to that target will cause an initramfs rebuild, even if the symlink points to something outside of the initramfs directory. If the target happens to be /tmp, the rebuild occurs for each kernel build, since gen_initramfs_list uses mktemp... Proposed way to fix it is to omit symbolic links from generated dependencies, but this has a small drawback: changing perm/owner on a symlink will go unnoticed.

kbuild: remove pointless strdup() on arguments passed to new_module() in modpost

2009-04-11T06:18:10Z

kconfig: fix update-po-config to accect backslash in input

2009-04-11T06:18:07Z

Massimo Maiurana reported (slightly edited): ===== In latest 2.6.29 "make update-po-config" fails at msguniq invocation with an "invalid control sequence" error. The offending string is the following, and it's located in drivers/staging/panel/Kconfig:72: "'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The" looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise it as a valid one. A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that msguniq would not complain. ===== This patch implements the suggested escaping.

kbuild: fix option processing for -I in headerdep

2009-04-11T06:18:07Z
