An oops dump also contains the register values.

Currently, it is no longer possible to use the tags file to jump to system call function definitions with sys_foo, because the definitions are obscured by use of the SYSCALL_DEFINE* macros.

2009-02-15kbuild: add vmlinux to kernel rpmJosh Hunt
We are building an automated system to test kernels weekly and need to provide an rpm to our QA dept. We would like to use the ability to create kernel rpms already in the kernel's Makefile, but need the vmlinux file included in the rpm for later debugging.

2009-01-12script: improve markup_oops.pl to also decode oopses in modulesArjan van de Ven
There has been some light flamewar on lkml about decoding oopses in modules (as part of the crashdump flamewar). Now this isn't rocket science, just the markup_oops.pl script cheaped out and didn't handle modules. But really; a flamewar all about that?? What happened to C++ in the kernel or reading files from inside the kernel? This patch adds module support to markup_oops.pl; it's not the most pretty perl but it works for my testcases...

2009-01-07kconfig: add script to manipulate .config files on the command lineAndi Kleen
I often change single options in .config files. Instead of using an editor or one of the frontends it's convenient to do this from the command line. It's also useful to do from automated build scripts when building different variants from a base config file. I extracted most of the CONFIG manipulation code from one of my build scripts into a new shell script scripts/config The script is not integrated with the normal Kconfig machinery and doesn't do any checking against Kconfig files, but just manipulates that text format. This is always done at make time anyways. I believe this script would be a useful standard addition for scripts/* Sample usage: ./scripts/config --disable smp Disable SMP in .config file ./scripts/config --file otherdir/.config --module e1000e Enable E1000E as module in otherdir/.config ./scripts/config --state smp y Check state of config option CONFIG_SMP After merging into git please make scripts/config executable Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2009-01-07bootchart: improve output based on Dave Jones' feedbackArjan van de Ven
Dave Jones, in his blog, had some feedback about the bootchart script: Primarily his complaint was that shorter delays weren't visualized. The reason for that was that too small delays will have their labels mixed up in the graph in an unreadable mess. This patch has a fix for this; for one, it makes the output wider, so more will fit. The second part is that smaller delays are now shown with a much smaller font for the label; while this isn't per se readable at a 1:1 zoom, at least you can zoom in with most SVG viewing applications and see what it is you are looking at.

2009-01-07fix modules_install via NFSSam Ravnborg
Rafael reported: I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes: HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw /home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system compilation terminated. make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1 make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2 make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on the test boxes). Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get the error above. The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile. And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw. There were two solutions for this issue: 1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file 2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

2009-01-06checkpatch: Add warning for p0-patchesWolfram Sang
Some people work internally with -p0-patches which has the danger that one forgets to convert them to -p1 before mainlining. Bitten myself and seen p0-patches in mailing lists occasionally, this patch adds a warning to checkpatch.pl in case a patch is -p0. If you really want, you can fool this check to generate false positives, this is why it just spits a warning. Making the check 100% proof is trickier than it looks, so let's start with a version which catches the cases of real use.
