Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols. Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly complicated. initcall_debug improves: dmesg_before.txt: initcall $x+0x0/0x154 [sg] returned 0 after 26331 usecs dmesg_after.txt: initcall init_sg+0x0/0x154 [sg] returned 0 after 15461 usecs Signed-off-by:

The general form for commit id and description is 'Commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit description/subject line")' but commit logs often have relatively long commit ids and the commit description emds on the next line like: Some explanation as to why commit <12+hexdigits> ("commit foo description/subject line") is improved.

Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic. This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz. Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that way we can save some more bytes. On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config : | time | +-------------+-----------------+ | manual .ko | make | size | percent | compression | modules_install | | gain +-------------+-----------------+------+-------- - | | 18.61s | 378M | GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41% XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83% The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module, that is generally done only once. This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

Update of analyze_suspend.py to v3.0 New features include back-2-back suspend testing, device filters to reduce the html size, the inclusion of device_prepare and device_complete callbacks, a usb topography list, and the ability to control USB device autosuspend. UI upgrades include a device detail window and mini-timeline, the addition of a suspend_prepare and resume_complete phase to the timeline which includes the associated device callbacks, automatic highlight of related callbacks, and general color and name changes for better reability. The new version relies on two trace point patches that are already in the kernel: enable_trace_events_suspend_resume.patch enable_trace_events_device_pm_callback.patch It has legacy support for older kernels without these trace events, but when available the tool processes the ftrace output alone (dmesg has been deprecated as a tool input, and is only gathered for convenience).

Since commit 5d2acfc7 ("kconfig: make allnoconfig disable options behind EMBEDDED and EXPERT") in 3.15-rc1, "make allnoconfig" disables every possible config option. However, a few configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, OPTIMIZE_INLINING) produce a smaller kernel when turned on, and a few choices exist (compression, highmem, allocator) for which a non-default option produces a smaller kernel. Add a "tinyconfig" option, which starts from allnoconfig and then sets these options to configure the tiniest possible kernel. This provides a better baseline for embedded systems or efforts to reduce kernel size. Signed-off-by:

This patch series does not do kernel signature verification yet. I plan to post another patch series for that. Now distributions are already signing PE/COFF bzImage with PKCS7 signature I plan to parse and verify those signatures. Primary goal of this patchset is to prepare groundwork so that kernel image can be signed and signatures be verified during kexec load. This should help with two things. - It should allow kexec/kdump on secureboot enabled machines. - In general it can help even without secureboot. By being able to verify kernel image signature in kexec, it should help with avoiding module signing restrictions. Matthew Garret showed how to boot into a custom kernel, modify first kernel's memory and then jump back to old kernel and bypass any policy one wants to. This patch (of 15): Kexec wants to use bin2c and it wants to use it really early in the build process. See arch/x86/purgatory/ code in later patches. So move bin2c in scripts/basic so that it can be built very early and be usable by arch/x86/purgatory/ Signed-off-by:

Commit c353acba ("kbuild: make: fix if_changed when command contains backslashes") attempted to handle backslashes in *.cmd files, but it only handled double backslashes for some reason. Changing make-cmd to also handle single backslashes fixes rebuilds with dash, but it breaks bash again. The reason is that the two shells disagree about the interpretation of backslash sequences in the echo builtin. The way out of this is to print the command with printf '%s\n'. While at it, document what the individual parts of make-cmd do and why. Reported-and-tested-by:

c90 section "6.7.2 Type Specifiers" says: "type specifiers may occur in any order" That means that: short int is the same as int short unsigned short int is the same as int unsigned short etc... checkpatch currently parses only a subset of these allowed types. For instance: "unsigned short" and "signed short" are found by checkpatch as a specific type, but none of the or "int short" or "int signed short" variants are found. Add another table for the "kernel style misordered" variants. Add this misordered table to the findable types. Warn when the misordered style is used. This improves the "Missing a blank line after declarations" test as it depends on the correct parsing of the $Declare variable which looks for "$Type $Ident;" (ie: declarations like "int foo;").
