scripts: Add a script to find unused documentation

2017-10-23T14:01:37+00:00

Add a script that finds files with kernel-doc comments for imported functions that are not included anywhere in documentation. Signed-off-by: sayli karnik Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Documentation: add script and build target to check for broken file references

2017-10-12T17:07:42+00:00

Add a simple script and build target to do a treewide grep for references to files under Documentation, and report the non-existing file in stderr. It tries to take into account punctuation not part of the filename, and wildcards, but there are bound to be false positives too. Mostly seems accurate though. We've moved files around enough to make having this worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

scripts/kernel-doc: warn on excess enum value descriptions

2017-09-26T21:02:54+00:00

The existing message "Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member [...]" made it sound like this would already be done, but the code is never invoked for enums or typedefs (and really can't be). Add some code to the enum dumper to handle this there instead. While at it, also make the above message more accurate by simply dumping the type that was passed in, and pass the struct/union differentiation in.

scripts/dtc: dtx_diff - 2nd update of include dts paths to match build

2017-09-20T15:13:05+00:00

Update dtx_diff include paths in the same manner as: commit b12869a8d519 ("of: remove drivers/of/testcase-data from include search path for CPP"), commit 5ffa2aed389c ("of: remove arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/dts from include search path for CPP"), and commit 50f9ddaf64e1 ("of: search scripts/dtc/include-prefixes path for both CPP and DTC"). Remove proposed include path kernel/dts/, which was never implemented for the dtb build. For the diff case, each source file is compiled separately. For each of those compiles, provide the location of the source file as an include path, not the location of both source files. Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand Signed-off-by: Rob Herring

kbuild: rpm-pkg: fix version number handling

2017-09-20T15:06:03+00:00

The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the .version file. However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file. So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION always indicates #1. This does not match with "rpm -q". The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either. Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is created. Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion. This script returns an incremented version. So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is greater than the version in the kernel by one. For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command. For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file because it contains the version number that was used for building the kernel image. We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need not touch the .version file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kbuild: deb-pkg: remove firmware package support

2017-09-20T15:03:57+00:00

Commit 5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") deleted in-kernel firmware support, including the firmware install command. So, the firmware package does not make sense any more. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Riku Voipio Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kbuild: rpm-pkg: delete firmware_install to fix build error

2017-09-20T15:02:58+00:00

Commit 5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") deleted in-kernel firmware support, including "make firmware_install". Since then, "make rpm-pkg" / "make binrpm-pkg" fails to build with the error: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `firmware_install'. Stop. Commit df85b2d767aa ("firmware: Restore support for built-in firmware") restored the build infrastructure for CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, but this is out of the scope of "make firmware_install". So, the right thing to do is to kill the use of "make firmware_install". Fixes: 5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge tag 'firmware_removal-4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull firmware removal from Greg KH: "Many many years ago (at the kernel summit in Boston), we all came to the agreement that the firmware/ tree should be dropped from the kernel, and everyone use the linux-firmware package instead. For some minor reason, David Woodhouse didn't send the pull request at that point in time, and everyone forgot about this. The topic came up in the hallway track at the Plumbers conference this week, so here's a single patch that drops the whole firmware tree. The last firmware update was back in 2013, and all distros have been using linux-firmware instead since at least that year, if not before. The only commits to that directory since 2013 was some kbuild fixups for various build tool issues. So lets finally drop this, we don't need to lug them around in the kernel source tree anymore, especially as no one wants or uses them. This has passed build testing with 0-day, I don't think it made it into linux-next this week, but I figured it was good to get in before 4.14-rc1 was out" * tag 'firmware_removal-4.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: firmware: delete in-kernel firmware

firmware: delete in-kernel firmware

2017-09-14T21:49:41+00:00

The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back in 2013. Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware package for a long long time. So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around (and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)
