commit: d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216
When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
when a markers was changed. This problem is present since
scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit
b2e3e658b344c6bcfb8fb694100ab2f2b5b2edb0
It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

- Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
make clean.

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

Building vmlinux.o were moved up in the dependency chain so we started
to build it before the kallsym stuff. This was done to let modpost
report section mismatch bugs even when the final link failed.
Originally I had expected the dependency of $(kallsyms.o) to
cover this but it turns out that we need to be even more explicit.
Fix this by adding a conditional dependency on firat target
used in the kallsyms serie of builds.

I just read the excellent LWN writeup of the vmsplice
security thing, and that got me wondering why this attack
wasn't stopped by the CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR option...
because it plain should have been...
Some analysis later.. it turns out that the following line
in the top level Makefile, added by you in October 2007,
entirely disables CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR ;(
With this line removed the exploit will be nicely stopped.
CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector)
Now I realize that certain distros have patched gcc to
compensate for their lack of distro wide CFLAGS, and it's
great to work around that... but would there be a way to NOT
disable this for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR please?
It would have made this exploit not possible for those kernels
that enable this feature (and that includes distros like Fedora)
===
Move the assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including
the arch specific Makefile so arch makefiles may override
the setting.

.. and I really need to call it something else. Maybe it is time to
bring back the weasel series, since weasels always make me feel good
about a kernel.

link vmlinux.o so we may report section mismatch bugs before
we start with the real link - that may error out.

Setting the option DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH will
report additional section mismatch'es but this
should in the end makes it possible to get rid of
all of them.
See help text in lib/Kconfig.debug for details.

With this patch I'm able to find the definition of _xmit_lock defined in
include/linux/netdevice.h as follows:
struct net_device {
...
spinlock_t _xmit_lock ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
}
Otherwise this counts as definition of ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.

When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile. This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.
When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected. However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules). This causes confusion.
The solution is two-parted. This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile. The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.
Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.
Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

The check introduced in commit:
4f1127e204377cbd2a56d112d323466f668e8334 "kbuild: fix
infinite make recursion"
caused certain external modules not to build and
also caused 'make targz-pkg' to fail.
This is a minimal fix so we revert to previous
behaviour - but we do not overwrite the Makefile
in the top-level directory.

Jan Altenberg <jan.altenberg@linutronix.de> reported that
building with redirected input like this failed:
make O=dir oldconfig bzImage < /dev/null
The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being
run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build
failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin.
Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the
top-level Makefile re-made by make.
Introducing an empty rule for the top-level Makefile
(and Kbuild.include) fixed the issue.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again
can set 64BIT in all.config.
For a fix the diffstat is nice:
6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
The patch reverts these commits:
0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116
-> kconfig: add helper to set config symbol from environment variable
2a113281f5cd2febbab21a93c8943f8d3eece4d3
-> kconfig: use $K64BIT to set 64BIT with all*config targets
Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string
compares so the additional complexity introduced by the
above two patches were not needed.
With this patch we have following behaviour:
# make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
option \ host arch | 32bit | 64bit
=====================================================
./. | 32bit | 64bit
ARCH=x86 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=i386 | 32bit | 32bit
ARCH=x86_64 | 64bit | 64bit
The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture
takes precedence over the configuration.
So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit
kernel no matter what the configuration says.
The configuration will be updated to 32-bit if it was
configured to 64-bit and the other way around.
This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so
no suprises here.
make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel
but as the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select
between 32-bit and 64-bit using menuconfig.
