f0a594c1c7 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.08
This version brings a number of new checks, and a number of bug
fixes.  Of note:

  - warnings for multiple assignments per line
  - warnings for multiple declarations per line
  - checks for single statement blocks with braces

This patch includes an update for feature-removal-schedule.txt to
better target checks.

Andy Whitcroft (12):
      Version: 0.08
      only apply printk checks where there is a string literal
      allow suppression of errors for when no patch is found
      warn about multiple assignments
      warn on declaration of multiple variables
      check for kfree() with needless null check
      check for single statement braced blocks
      check for aggregate initialisation on the next line
      handle the => operator
      check for spaces between function name and open parenthesis
      move to explicit Check: entries in feature-removal-schedule.txt

cdccb316c0 kernel-doc: fix leading dot in man-mode output
If a parameter description begins with a '.', this indicates a "request"
for "man" mode output (*roff), so it needs special handling.

Problem case is in include/asm-i386/atomic.h for function
atomic_add_unless():
 * @u: ...unless v is equal to u.
This parameter description is currently not printed in man mode output.

9281acea6a kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the
trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating
buffer.  This is nonsense and error-prone.  Moreover, when the caller
forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack
because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero.

This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly.

* off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro
  is fixed.

* Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together,
  MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the
  trailing '\0'.  Fix it.

7c5d249ad3 kallsyms: remove usage of memmem and _GNU_SOURCE from scripts/kallsyms.c
The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only
uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to
replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens.

This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU
extension available.

d8982ba1f2 kconfig: reset generated values only if Kconfig and .config agree.
Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared as
they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they become
visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults aren't
used anymore).

The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its
visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just
removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as you
noticed.

The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in sync
and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random value
from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.

c05190371d kbuild: use POSIX BRE in headers install target
The sed expression used at the moment in scripts/Makefile.headersinst
relies on the (handy) GNU extension where you can escape ERE's in an
otherwise BRE without using the GNU -r option.  The following patch
replaces this "\+" usage with a functionally equivalent POSIX BRE compliant
"\{1,\}".  Tested with `make headers_install` against blackfin/x86_64/i386

741f98fe29 kbuild: do section mismatch check on full vmlinux
Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link
vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across
the .o files.
Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks
that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed.

The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux
but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.
For a defconfig build this is instant but for an allyesconfig this
add two minutes to a full build (that anyways takes ~2 hours).

update-po-config was broken:
1) spelling errors in Makefile so arch/um failed
2) UTF-8 was not supported

The following patch address the above problems.
kxgettext now append the output to the .pot file
generated by xgettext - so we have a header.
In all places UFT-8 is specifed so we now flawlessly
support UTF-8.
The Kconfig files had an empty string in a few cases -
these are now supressed in kxgettext.

With this the translators can now pick up where they left
and get it all translated.
There are ~11000 strings to be translated...

0db19c412c x86_64: fix headers_install
A bug in headers_install for ARCH=x86_64 yields an asm/ directory full of
files all of which are using the same #ifdef guard, "__ASM_STUB_" with no
postfix.  So the second and later asm files #included in the same C file
(often through standard headers like ioctl.h) yields no symbols.

Strangeness with the Ubuntu 'tell me if I support something that's not
explcitly mentioned in POSIX, and I'll strip it out' shell, I believe.

We don't need the 'export' but we do need a semicolon at the end of the

edd5cd4a94 Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM
Not all the world is an i386.  Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer.  Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.

Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely.  In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range.  Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine.  And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.

Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

2648a53acf kbuild: fix sh64 section mismatch problems
There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated,
with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later
stage.

To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction
set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with
normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges
are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one.

It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with
different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input
and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker.

The closest I've been able to find to documentation is:
  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/emultempl/sh64elf.em?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src

It's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in
  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf32-sh64.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
that describes for which ISA a range is used.

Silence the warnings by allowing references from .init.text to .cranges.

The following warnings are fixed:

0a920b5b66 add a trivial patch style checker
We are seeing increasing levels of minor patch style violations in submissions
to the mailing lists as well as making it into the tree.  These detract from
the quality of the submission and cause unnessary work for reviewers.

As a first step package up the current state of the patch style checker and
include it in the kernel tree.  Add instructions suggesting running it on
submissions.  This adds version v0.01 of the checkpatch.pl script.

less obvious.

Now I get this...

577a32f620 mm: fix section mismatch warnings
modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/
Shift over to __init_refok and kill the
hardcoded function names in modpost.

This has the drawback that the functions
will always be kept no matter configuration.
With previous code the function were placed in
init section if configuration allowed it.

0e0d314e6a kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings
Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.
