Add some basic .gitignore files

2005-10-18T15:26:15Z

This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone, but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should ignore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] pcmcia: fix cross-platform issues with pcmcia module aliases

2005-09-26T11:13:58Z

- Added a missing TO_NATIVE call to scripts/mod/file2alias.c:do_pcmcia_entry() - Add an alignment attribute to struct pcmcia_device_no to solve an alignment issue seen when cross-compiling on x86 for m68k. Signed-off-by: Kars de Jong Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

[SPARC]: Fix dot-symbol exporting for good.

2005-09-12T03:14:07Z

From: Al Viro Instead of playing all of these hand-coded assembler aliasing games, just translate symbol names in the name space ".sym" to "_Sym" at module load time. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

kbuild: add objectify

2005-09-10T19:02:11Z

Use foo := $(call objectify, $(foo)) to prefix $(foo) with $(obj)/ unless $(foo) is an absolute path. For now no in-tree users - soon to come. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] kbuild: ignore all debugging info sections in scripts/reference_discarded.pl

2005-09-10T13:09:02Z

GCC 4 emits more DWARF debugging information than before and there is now a .debug_loc section as well. This causes "make buildcheck" to fail. Rather than just add that one to the special case list, I used a regexp to ignore any .debug_ANYTHING sections in case more show up in the future.

[PATCH] Adapt scripts/ver_linux to new util-linux version strings

Tested with 2.12i and 2.13-pre2. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Strip local symbols from kallsyms

2005-09-07T23:57:20Z

Local symbols generated by gcc start with a `$'; no point in including them in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kallsyms: change compression algorithm

2005-09-07T23:57:18Z

This patch changes the way the compression algorithm works. The base algorithm is similiar to the previous but we force the compressed token size to 2. Having a fixed size compressed token allows for a lot of optimizations, and that in turn allows this code to run over *all* the symbols faster than it did before over just a subset. Having it work over all the symbols will make it behave better when symbols change positions between passes, and the "inconsistent kallsyms" messages should become less frequent. In my tests the compression ratio was degraded by about 0.5%, but the results will depend greatly on the number of symbols to compress.

[PATCH] kconfig: linux.pot for all arch

2005-09-05T07:05:49Z

The 'make update-po-config' creates the .pot file for the default arch. This patch enhances it with all arch. Signed-off-by: Egry Gabor Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Roman Zippel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
