2011-05-03kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+Michal Marek1-0/+12
Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.

2011-04-28kbuild: asm-generic supportSam Ravnborg1-0/+36
There is an increasing amount of header files shared between individual architectures in asm-generic. To avoid a lot of dummy wrapper files that just include the corresponding file in asm-generic provide some basic support in kbuild for this. With the following patch an architecture can maintain a list of files in the file arch/$(ARCH)/include/asm/Kbuild To use a generic file just add: generic-y += <name-of-header-file.h> For each file listed kbuild will generate the necessary wrapper in arch/$(ARCH)/include/generated/asm. When installing userspace headers a wrapper is likewise created. The original inspiration for this came from the unicore32 patchset - although a different method is used. The patch includes several improvements from Arnd Bergmann. Michael Marek contributed Makefile.asm-generic. Remis Baima did an intial implementation along to achive the same - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/13352/ Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Acked-by: Guan Xuetao <guanxuetao@mprc.pku.edu.cn> Tested-by: Guan Xuetao <guanxuetao@mprc.pku.edu.cn> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Remis Lima Baima <remis.developer@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2011-03-09kbuild: Add extra gcc checksBorislav Petkov1-0/+5
Add a 'W=1' Makefile switch which adds additional checking per build object. The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the process of writing their code, want to do the occasional make W=1 [target.o] and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build process.

2010-12-24of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinuxDirk Brandewie1-0/+15
This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking .dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image. Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to wrap the blobs for linking. STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib. The STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition. The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob to get the structure alignment GCC expects. A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using obj-y += foo.dtb.o Signed-off-by: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com> Acked-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> [grant.likely@secretlab.ca: cleaned up whitespace inconsistencies] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
