Pull misc kbuild updates from Michal Marek: "Non-critical kbuild changes: - make coccicheck improvements, but no new semantic patches this time - make rpm improvements - make tar-pkg change to include the architecture in the filename. This is a deliberate incompatibility, but nobody has complained so far and it is useful if you build for different architectures. It also matches what the deb-pkg and rpm-pkg targets produce. - kbuild documentation fix" * 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: rpm-pkg: Remove pointless set -e statements rpm-pkg: Always regenerate the specfile rpm-pkg: Do not write to the parent directory rpm-pkg: Do not package the whole source directory buildtar: Add ARCH to the archive name Coccinelle: Fix patch output when coccicheck is used with M= and C= Coccinelle: Add support to the SPFLAGS variable Coccinelle: Cleanup the setting of the FLAGS and OPTIONS variables Coccinelle: Restore coccicheck verbosity in ONLINE mode (C=1 or C=2) scripts/package/Makefile: compare objtree with srctree instead of test KBUILD_OUTPUT doc: change example to existing Makefile fragment scripts/tags.sh: Add magic for OFFSET and DEFINE

kconfig: implement KCONFIG_PROBABILITY for randconfig

2013-04-24T22:16:30+00:00

Currently the odds to set each symbol is (rounded): booleans: y: 50% n: 50% tristates: y: 33% m: 33% n: 33% Introduce a KCONFIG_PROBABILITY environment variable to tweak the probabilities (in percentage), as such: KCONFIG_PROBABILITY y:n split y:m:n split ----------------------------------------------------------------- [1] unset or empty 50 : 50 33 : 33 : 34 [2] N N : 100-N N/2 : N/2 : 100-N N:M N+M : 100-(N+M) N : M : 100-(N+M) N:M:L N : 100-N M : L : 100-(M+L) [1] The current behaviour is kept as default, for backward compatibility [2] The solution initially implemented by Peter for Buildroot, see: http://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/?id=3435c1afb5 Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard [yann.morin.1998@free.fr: add to Documentation/] Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

kconfig: allow specifying the seed for randconfig

2013-04-24T22:16:25+00:00

For reproducibility, it can be useful to be able to specify the seed to use to seed the RNG. Add a new KCONFIG_SEED environment variable which can be set to the seed to use: $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig $ sha1sum .config 70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config $ make KCONFIG_SEED=42 randconfig $ sha1sum .config 70a128c8dcc61303069e1be352cce64114dfcbca .config It's very usefull for eg. debugging the kconfig parser.

kbuild: fix ld-option function

2013-04-08T09:47:41+00:00

The kbuild's ld-option function is broken because the command $(CC) /dev/null -c -o "$$TMPO" does not create object file! I have used a relatively old mips gcc 3.4.6 cross-compiler and a relatively new gcc 4.7.2 to check this fact but the results are the same. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o mips-linux-gcc: /dev/null: linker input file unused because linking not done $ ls -la /tmp/1.o ls: cannot access /tmp/1.o: No such file or directory We can easily fix the problem by adding the '-x c' compiler option. EXAMPLE: $ rm /tmp/1.o $ mips-linux-gcc -x c /dev/null -c -o /tmp/1.o $ ls -la /tmp/1.o -rw-r--r-- 1 antony antony 778 Apr 2 20:40 /tmp/1.o Also fix wrong ld-option example.

Pull kconfig changes from Michal Marek: "I forgot to send a pull request in time for the v3.8-rc1 merge window, so the list is a bit longer this time: - menuconfig enables extended colors in ncurses if the wide-character version is used. - CONFIG_ prefix can be specified in the environment to make life easier for people using kconfig multiple times in a single tree (no functional change in the kernel kconfig usage). - kconfig aborts on OOM. - inputboxes in menuconfig allow to move the cursor. - menuconfig has Save/Load buttons now. - xconfig build fix with new g++ and Qt3. - nconfig color scheme fix and help text update. - make oldconfig prints newlines when output is redirected. - some other minor fixes." * 'kconfig' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kbuild: Fix missing '\n' for NEW symbols in yes "" | make oldconfig >conf.new kconfig: nconf: rewrite labels of function keys line kconfig: nconf: rewrite help texts kconfig: fix a compiliation error when using make xconfig nconf: function keys line, change background color for better readability menuconfig: Get rid of the top-level entries for "Load an Alternate/Save an Alternate" menuconfig: Add Save/Load buttons kconfig:lxdialog: remove duplicate code menuconfig:inputbox: support navigate input position kconfig: document use of CONFIG_ environment variable scripts/kconfig: ensure we use proper CONFIG_ prefix merge_config.sh: Add option to specify output dir Revert "kconfig-language: add to hints" kconfig: Regenerate lexer kconfig: Fix malloc handling in conf tools kconfig: get CONFIG_ prefix from the environment kconfig: add a function to get the CONFIG_ prefix kconfig: remove CONFIG_ from string constants menuconfig: fix extended colors ncurses support

Merge branch 'kbuild/rc-fixes' into kbuild/kconfig

2013-02-25T20:51:57+00:00

There is one kconfig fix in the rc-fixes branch that I forgot to submit for 3.8, so let's add it to the kconfig branch for 3.9-rc1.

kbuild: create a rule to run the pre-processor on *.dts files

2013-02-08T14:38:07+00:00

Create cmd_dtc_cpp to run the C pre-processor on *.dts file before passing them to dtc for final compilation. This allows the use of #define and #include within the .dts file.
