Arjan van de Ven d32ad102c6 script: improve markup_oops.pl to also decode oopses in modules
There has been some light flamewar on lkml about decoding oopses
in modules (as part of the crashdump flamewar).

Now this isn't rocket science, just the markup_oops.pl script
cheaped out and didn't handle modules. But really; a flamewar
all about that?? What happened to C++ in the kernel or reading
files from inside the kernel?

This patch adds module support to markup_oops.pl; it's not the
most pretty perl but it works for my testcases...

Andi Kleen 8e54701ea8 kconfig: add script to manipulate .config files on the command line
I often change single options in .config files. Instead of using
an editor or one of the frontends it's convenient to do this from
the command line. It's also useful to do from automated build scripts
when building different variants from a base config file.

I extracted most of the CONFIG manipulation code from one of my
build scripts into a new shell script scripts/config

The script is not integrated with the normal Kconfig machinery
and doesn't do any checking against Kconfig files, but just manipulates
that text format. This is always done at make time anyways.

I believe this script would be a useful standard addition for scripts/*

Sample usage:

./scripts/config --disable smp
Disable SMP in .config file

./scripts/config --file otherdir/.config --module e1000e
Enable E1000E as module in otherdir/.config

./scripts/config --state smp
y
Check state of config option CONFIG_SMP

After merging into git please make scripts/config executable

Arjan van de Ven 40c8c85a47 bootchart: improve output based on Dave Jones' feedback
Dave Jones, in his blog, had some feedback about the bootchart script:
Primarily his complaint was that shorter delays weren't visualized.

The reason for that was that too small delays will have their labels
mixed up in the graph in an unreadable mess.

This patch has a fix for this; for one, it makes the output wider,
so more will fit.
The second part is that smaller delays are now shown with a
much smaller font for the label; while this isn't per se
readable at a 1:1 zoom, at least you can zoom in with most SVG
viewing applications and see what it is you are looking at.

Sam Ravnborg 8b249b6856 fix modules_install via NFS
Rafael reported:

I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes:

  HOSTCC  firmware/ihex2fw
/home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes).  Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.

The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.

There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts

As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one
forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining.  Bitten myself and seen
p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to

this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a
warning.  Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's

Arjan van de Ven 5aea50b5c7 scripts: script from kerneloops.org to pretty print oops dumps
We're struggling all the time to figure out where the code came from that
oopsed..  The script below (a adaption from a script used by
kerneloops.org) can help developers quite a bit, at least for non-module
cases.

It works and looks like this:

[/home/arjan/linux]$ dmesg | perl scripts/markup_oops.pl vmlinux
 {
 	struct agp_memory *memory;

 	memory = agp_allocate_memory(agp_bridge, pg_count, type);
 c055c10f:	89 c2                	mov    %eax,%edx
 	if (memory == NULL)
 c055c111:	74 19                	je     c055c12c <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x30>
 /* This function must only be called when current_controller != NULL */
 static void agp_insert_into_pool(struct agp_memory * temp)
 {
 	struct agp_memory *prev;

 	prev = agp_fe.current_controller->pool;
 c055c113:	a1 ec dc 8f c0       	mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
*c055c118:	8b 40 10             	mov    0x10(%eax),%eax     <----- faulting instruction

 	if (prev != NULL) {
 c055c11b:	85 c0                	test   %eax,%eax
 c055c11d:	74 05                	je     c055c124 <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x28>
 		prev->prev = temp;
 c055c11f:	89 50 04             	mov    %edx,0x4(%eax)
 		temp->next = prev;
 c055c122:	89 02                	mov    %eax,(%edx)
 	}
 	agp_fe.current_controller->pool = temp;
 c055c124:	a1 ec dc 8f c0       	mov    0xc08fdcec,%eax
 c055c129:	89 50 10             	mov    %edx,0x10(%eax)
 	if (memory == NULL)
 		return NULL;

 	agp_insert_into_pool(memory);

so in this case, we faulted while dereferencing agp_fe.current_controller
pointer, and we get to see exactly which function and line it affects...
Personally I find this very useful, and I can see value for having this
script in the kernel for more-than-just-me to use.

Caveats:
* It only works for oopses not-in-modules
* It only works nicely for kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
* It's not very fast.
* It only works on x86

Jan Beulich 9bb482476c allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL
Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch
introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.
Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64)
kernels I tested with.

The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms-
internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking
stage.

While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to
scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure
here is.

Jan Beulich ad7a953c52 kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko
This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from
using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols
to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence
allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at
this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation.

One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed
to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object:
passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to
gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the
fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug
info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just
filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative
filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal
case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

Randy Dunlap a1d94aa556 kernel-doc: check for extra kernel-doc notations
Add functionality to check for function parameters or structure (or
union/typedef/enum) field members that are described in kernel-doc but
are not part of the expected (declared) parameters or structure.
These generate warnings that are called "Excess" descriptions.
