Rusty Russell f6a79af8f3 modules: don't break modules_install on external modules with no key.
The script still spits out an error ("Can't read private key") but we
don't break modules_install.

Rusty Russell e2a666d52b kbuild: sign the modules at install time
Linus deleted the old code and put signing on the install command,
I fixed it to extract the keyid and signer-name within sign-file
and cleaned up that script now it always signs in-place.

Some enthusiast should convert sign-key to perl and pull
x509keyid into it.

이건호 ef591a5506 scripts/Makefile.modpost: error in finding modules from .mod files.
This error may happen when the user's id or path includes .ko string.
For example, user's id is xxx.ko and building test.ko module,
the test.mod file lists ko name and all object files.
   /home/xxx.ko/kernel_dev/device/drivers/test.ko
   /home/xxx.ko/kernel_dev/device/drivers/test_main.o
/home/xxx.ko/kernel_dev/device/drivers/test_io.o ...
Current Makefile.modpost and Makefile.modinst find and list up not
only test.ko but also other object files.
because all of object file's path includes .ko string.
This is a patch to fix it.

Sam Ravnborg 2ea038917b Revert "kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko"
This reverts commit ad7a953c52.

And commit: ("allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL")
            9bb482476c

These stripping patches has caused a set of issues:

1) People have reported compatibility issues with binutils due to
   lack of support for `--strip-unneeded-symbols' with objcopy 2.15.92.0.2
   Reported by: Wenji
2) ccache and distcc no longer works as expeced
   Reported by: Ted, Roland, + others
3) The installed modules increased a lot in size
   Reported by: Ted, Davej + others

Jan Beulich ad7a953c52 kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko
This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from
using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols
to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence
allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at
this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation.

One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed
to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object:
passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to
gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the
fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug
info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just
filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative
filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal
case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

Sam Ravnborg 9b213118fa kbuild: fix installing external modules
Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> reported:
  Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path
  under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change:
  http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23
  makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir

 (for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in
 /lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko)

This was the case only when specifying a trailing slash to M=..

Fixed by removing trailing slash if present so
we correctly match dir part of target.

Theodore Ts'o ac031f26e8 kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them
Add option for stripping modules while installing them.

This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being
installed.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more
popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed
modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so.

Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug
information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install",
but that may not work for people who are installing directly into
/lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs
worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules,
so the "make modules_install" never succeeds.

This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the
modules as they are installed.

Paul Smith 4f1933620f kbuild: change kbuild to not rely on incorrect GNU make behavior
The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed.  This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.

For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html

Changes in this patch:
  - Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
  - Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
  - Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
    targets are up-to-date or not.

Sam Ravnborg 8ec4b4ff1c kbuild: introduce Kbuild.include
Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
