pnp: fix "add acpi:* modalias entries"

With 22454cb99fc39f2629ad06a7eccb3df312f8830e we added only the first entry of the device table. We need to loop over the whole device list. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bugfix for scripts/patch-kernel in 2.6 sublevel stepping

2008-08-06T20:11:33+00:00

scripts/patch-kernel script can't patch a tree, say, from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26.1, because of a wrong comparison in context of patching 2.6.x base. Fix it. Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kernel-doc: skip nested struct/union cleanly

2008-08-05T21:33:49+00:00

Fix handling of nested structs or unions. The regex to strip (eliminate) nested structs or unions was limited to only 0 or 1 matches. This can cause an uneven number of left/right braces to be stripped, which causes this: Warning(linux-2.6.27-rc1-git2//include/net/mac80211.h:336): No description found for parameter '}' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kconfig: drop the ""trying to assign nonexistent symbol" warning

2008-08-04T20:29:37+00:00

They really stand out now that make *config is less chatty - and they are generally ignored - so drop them. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Roman Zippel Cc: Adrian Bunk

kconfig: always write out .config

2008-08-04T20:18:07+00:00

Always write out .config also in the case where config did not change. This fixes: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11230 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Josh Boyer Cc: Adrian Bunk

firmware: silence __fw_modbuild and __fw_modinst 'Nothing to be done' messages

2008-08-02T06:52:29+00:00

People don't like them and think they're errors. Leave the __fw_install one though; when 'make firmware_install' does nothing, it's best to have a 'Nothing to be done for...' message rather than just doing nothing. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

kbuild: scripts/ver_linux: don't set PATH

2008-07-31T21:36:54+00:00

It would have saved both a bug submitter and me a few hours if scripts/ver_linux had picked the same gcc as the build. Since I can't see any reason why it fiddles with PATH at all this patch therefore removes the PATH setting. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: genksyms: Include extern information in dumps

2008-07-31T21:01:31+00:00

The extern flag currently is not included in type dump files (genksyms --dump-types). Include that flag there for completeness. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: genksyms parser: fix the attribute rule

2008-07-31T21:00:25+00:00

We are having two kinds of problems with genksyms today: fake checksum changes without actual ABI changes, and changes which we would rather like to ignore (such as an additional field at the end of a structure that modules are not supposed to touch, for example). I have thought about ways to improve genksyms and compute checksums differently to avoid those problems, but in the end I don't see a fundamentally better way. So here are some genksyms patches for at least making the checksums more easily manageable, if we cannot fully fix them. In addition to the bugfixes (the first two patches), this allows genksyms to track checksum changes and report why a checksum changed (third patch), and to selectively ignore changes (fourth patch). This patch: Gcc __attribute__ definitions may occur repeatedly, e.g., static int foo __attribute__((__used__)) __attribute__((aligned (16))); The genksyms parser does not understand this, and generates a syntax error. Fix this case. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Cc: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
