f4d4ffc03e kbuild: dtbs_install: new make target
Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
*install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.

This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of
the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be
set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not
set then it defaults to:

	$INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE.

This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until
things have settled down.  Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly
linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move
to their own repo.  Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that
time.

v7: (reworked by Grant Likely)
- Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so
  that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as
  part of the make output.
- Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before
  attempting to install
- Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be
  sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory.
  Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel,
  I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would
  rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to
  rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory.
  - Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the
    rest of this feature.
- Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the
  common dtb rules

b5190516b2 of: Move testcase FDT data into drivers/of
The testcase data is usable by any platform. This patch moves it into
the drivers/of directory so it can be included by any architecture.

Using the test cases requires manually adding #include <testcases.dtsi>
to the end of the boards .dtsi file and enabling CONFIG_OF_SELFTEST. Not
pretty though. A useful project would be to make the testcase code
easier to execute.

4d47dde47f kbuild: create directory for dir/file.o
When add a obj with dir to obj-y, like this

    obj-y += dir/file.o

The $(obj)/dir not created, this patch fix this.

When try to add a file(which in a subdir) to my board's obj-y, the build
progress crashed.

For example, I use at91rm9200ek board, and in kernel dir run:

  mkdir objtree
  make O=objtree at91rm9200_defconfig
  mkdir arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
  touch arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c

and edit arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c to add some code.
then edit arch/arm/mach-at91/Makefile, change the following line:

  obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o

to:

  obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o dir/file.o

Now build it:

  make O=objtree

Then the error appears:
  ...
  CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200dk.o
  CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200ek.o
  CC      arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.o
  linux-2.6/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c:5:
    fatal error: opening dependency file
    arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/.file.o.d: No such file or directory

Check the objtree:
  LANG=en ls objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
  ls: cannot access objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir: No such file or directory

It's apparently that the target dir not created for file.o

Check kbuild source code. It seems that kbuild create dirs for that in
$(obj-dirs).  But if the dir need not to create a built-in.o, It should
never in  $(obj-dirs).

So I make this patch to make sure It in  $(obj-dirs)

ad06156876 kbuild: Don't assume dts files live in arch/*/boot/dts
In commit b40b25ff (kbuild: always run gcc -E on *.dts, remove cmd_dtc_cpp),
dts building was changed to always use the C preprocessor. This meant
that the .dts file passed to dtc is not the original, but the
preprocessed one.

When compiling with a separate build directory (i.e., with O=), this
preprocessed file will not live in the same directory as the original.
When the .dts file includes .dtsi files, dtc will look for them in the
build directory, not in the source directory and compilation will fail.

The commit referenced above tried to fix this by passing arch/*/boot/dts
as an include path to dtc. However, for mips, the .dts files are not in
this directory, so dts compilation on mips breaks for some targets.

Instead of hardcoding this particular include path, this commit just
uses the directory of the .dts file that is being compiled, which
effectively restores the previous behaviour wrt includes. For most .dts
files, this path is just the same as the previous hardcoded
arch/*/boot/dts path.

This was tested on a mips (rt3052) and an arm (bcm2835) target.

b40b25fff8 kbuild: always run gcc -E on *.dts, remove cmd_dtc_cpp
Replace cmd_dtc with cmd_dtc_cpp, and delete the latter.

Previously, a special file extension (.dtsp) was required to trigger
the C pre-processor to run on device tree files. This was ugly. Now that
previous changes have enhanced cmd_dtc_cpp to collect dependency
information from both gcc -E and dtc, we can transparently run the pre-
processor on all device tree files, irrespective of whether they
use /include/ or #include syntax to include *.dtsi.

85f02be8e5 kbuild: cmd_dtc_cpp: extract deps from both gcc -E and dtc
Prior to this change, when compiling *.dts to *.dtb, the dependency
output from dtc would be used, and when compiling *.dtsp to *.dtb, the
dependency output from gcc -E alone would be used, despite dtc also
being invoked (on a temporary file that was guaranteed to have no
dependencies).

With this change, when compiling *.dtsp to *.dtb, the dependency files
from both gcc -E and dtc are used. This will allow cmd_dtc_cpp to
replace cmd_dtc in a future change. In turn, that will allow the C pre-
processor to be run transparently on *.dts, without the need to a
separate rule or file extension to trigger it.

c58299aa87 kbuild: create an "include chroot" for DT bindings
The recent dtc+cpp support allows header files and C pre-processor
defines/macros to be used when compiling device tree files. These
headers will typically define various constants that are part of the
device tree bindings.

The original patch which set up the dtc+cpp include path only considered
using those headers from device tree files. However, most are also
useful for kernel code which needs to interpret the device tree.

In both the DT files and the kernel, I'd like to include the DT-related
headers in the same way, for example, <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra-gpio.h>.
That will simplify any text which discusses the DT header locations.

Creating a <dt-bindings/> for kernel source to use is as simple as
placing files into include/dt-bindings/.

However, when compiling DT files, the include path should be restricted
so that only the dt-bindings path is available; arbitrary kernel headers
shouldn't be exposed. For this reason, create a specific include
directory for use by dtc+cpp, and symlink dt-bindings from there to the
actual location of include/dt-bindings/. For want of a better location,
place this "include chroot" into the existing dts/ directory.

arch/*/boot/dts/include/dt-bindings -> ../../../../../include/dt-bindings

Some headers used by device tree files may not be useful to the kernel;
they may be used simply to aid in constructing the DT file (e.g. macros
to create a node), but not define any information that the kernel needs
to share. These may be placed directly into arch/*/boot/dts/ along with
the DT files themselves.

b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

e570d7c15a kbuild: limit dtc+cpp include path
Device tree source files may now include header files. The intent is
that those header files define/name constants used as part of the DT
bindings. Currently this feature is open to abuse, since any kernel
header file at all can be included, This could allow device tree files
to become dependant on kernel headers files, and thus make them no
longer OS-independent. This would also prevent separating the device
tree source files from the kernel repository.

Solve this by limiting the cpp include path for device tree files to
separate directories.

90b335fbbc kbuild: centralize .dts->.dtb rule
All architectures that use cmd_dtc do so in almost the same way. Create
a central build rule to avoid duplication. The one difference is that
most current uses of dtc build $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/dts/%.dts rather
than building the .dtb in the same directory as the .dts file. This
difference will be eliminated arch-by-arch in future patches.

MIPS is the exception here; it already uses the exact same rule as the
new common rule, so the duplicate is removed in this patch to avoid any
conflict. arch/mips changes courtesy of Ralf Baechle.

Update Documentation/kbuild to remove the explicit call to cmd_dtc from
the example, now that the rule exists in a centralized location.

Thus, for example, "make dtbs" will rebuild tegra-harmony.dtb if only

lack of this feature recently caused me to have very confusing "git
bisect" results.

For ARM, it's obvious what to add to $(targets). I'm not familiar enough
with other architectures to know what to add there. Powerpc appears to
already add various .dtb files into $(targets), but the other archs may
need something added to $(targets) to work.

24fa0402a9 decompressors: add XZ decompressor module
In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
got superseded by the .xz format.  Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
XZ Utils.

These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel.  Most of
the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.

Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
  - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
    not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
  - Integrity check support (CRC32)
  - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
    certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
    produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
    than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.

This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
(xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
and documentation.  The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
decompressor e.g.  for Squashfs.

aab94339cd of: Add support for linking device tree blobs into vmlinux
This patch adds support for linking device tree blob(s) into
vmlinux. Modifies asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to add linking
.dtb sections into vmlinux. To maintain compatiblity with the of/fdt
driver code platforms MUST copy the blob to a non-init memory location
before the kernel frees the .init.* sections in the image.

Modifies scripts/Makefile.lib to add a kbuild command to
compile DTS files to device tree blobs and a rule to create objects to
wrap the blobs for linking.

STRUCT_ALIGNMENT is defined in vmlinux.lds.h for use in the rule to
create wrapper objects for the dtb in Makefile.lib.  The
STRUCT_ALIGN() macro in vmlinux.lds.h is modified to use the
STRUCT_ALIGNMENT definition.

The DTB's are placed on 32 byte boundries to allow parsing the blob
with driver/of/fdt.c during early boot without having to copy the blob
to get the structure alignment GCC expects.

A DTB is linked in by adding the DTB object to the list of objects to
be linked into vmlinux in the archtecture specific Makefile using
   obj-y += foo.dtb.o

1373411ae4 kbuild: really fix bzImage build with non-bash sh
In an x86 build with CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA enabled and dash as sh,
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma ends with
'\xf0\x7d\x39\x00' (16 bytes) instead of the 4 bytes intended and
the resulting vmlinuz fails to boot.  This improves on the
previous behavior, in which the file contained the characters
'-ne ' as well, but not by much.

Previous commits replaced "echo -ne" first with "/bin/echo -ne",
then "printf" in the hope of improving portability, but none of
these commands is guaranteed to support hexadecimal escapes on
POSIX systems.  So use the shell to convert from hexadecimal to
octal.

With this change, an LZMA-compressed kernel built with dash as sh
boots correctly again.

7dd65feb6c lib: add support for LZO-compressed kernels
This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.

Russell King said:

: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort.  The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.

This patch:

The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction.  Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:

Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip  1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo   1.75Mo 0.48s

So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.

This part contains:
 - Makefile routine to support lzo compression
 - Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
   compressed kernels
 - wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
   block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
 - config dialog for kernel compression

9e1b9b8072 module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option
The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S.  Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h".  Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.

This also lets modpost.c use the same definition.  Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.

A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged.  vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

2521f2c228 gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
kernel.  gcov may be useful for:

 * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
 * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
 * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
   associated code is never run?)

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:

 * change kbuild to include profiling flags
 * provide functions needed by profiling code
 * present profiling data as files in debugfs

Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
"-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
others which require adjustment of architecture code.

For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
text).

Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their

as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.

Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.

for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

to disable them:

echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control

Impact: Replaces inflate.c with a wrapper around zlib_inflate; new library code

This is the first part of the bzip2/lzma patch

The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
compressors give smaller sizes than gzip.  Lzma's decompresses faster
than bzip2.

It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
compressors.

The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
the udpcast project

This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28

This part contains:
- changed inflate.c to accomodate rest of patch

346e15beb5 driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages
Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.

The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.

Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
their own debug levels and flags.

Usage:

Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:

	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
		.
		.
		.

	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not

For example:

	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
	fixup enabled=1
	driver enabled=0

Enable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Enable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

656ee82cc8 kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o option
We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a
way to remove them if needed.

With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding
the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each
and every function is ugly.

Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg
to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward.

This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with
CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o.  This allows developers to prevent certain
CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do

CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg

to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory.

Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

551559e13a kbuild: implement modules.order
When multiple built-in modules (especially drivers) provide the same
capability, they're prioritized by link order specified by the order
listed in Makefile.  This implicit ordering is lost for loadable
modules.

When driver modules are loaded by udev, what comes first in
modules.alias file is selected.  However, the order in this file is
indeterministic (depends on filesystem listing order of installed
modules).  This causes confusion.

The solution is two-parted.  This patch updates kbuild such that it
generates and installs modules.order which contains the name of
modules ordered according to Makefile.  The second part is update to
depmod such that it generates output files according to this file.

Note that both obj-y and obj-m subdirs can contain modules and
ordering information between those two are lost from beginning.
Currently obj-y subdirs are put before obj-m subdirs.

Sam Ravnborg cleaned up Makefile modifications and suggested using awk
to remove duplicate lines from modules.order instead of using separate
C program.

f77bf01425 kbuild: introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y
Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.

The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:

ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG

As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
        EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other

836caba77c kbuild: kill backward compatibility checks
These checks has been present for several kernel releases (> 5).
So lets just get rid of them.
With this we no longer check for use of:
EXTRA_TARGETS, O_TARGET, L_TARGET, list-multi, export-objs

There were three remaining in-tree users of O_TARGET in some
unmaintained sh64 code - mail sent to the maintainer + list.

f5fb976520 kbuild: fix directory traversal bug
Previously kbuild choked over the following:
obj-y += ../../../arch/i386/kernel/bootflag.o

This has resulted in some rather ugly workarounds in
current x86_64 tree.
This patch fixes kbuild to allow the above and enable
potential cleanups in x86_64 and maybe in other places.

5e8d780d74 kbuild: fix ia64 breakage after introducing make -rR
kbuild used $¤(*F to get filename of target without extension.
This was used in several places all over kbuild, but introducing
make -rR broke his for all cases where we specified full path to
target/prerequsite. It is assumed that make -rR disables old style
suffix-rules which is why is suddenly failed.

ia64 was impacted by this change because several div* routines in
arch/ia64/lib are build using explicit paths and then kbuild failed.

Thanks to David Mosberger-Tang <David.Mosberger@acm.org> for an explanation
what was the root-cause and for testing on ia64.

This patch also fixes two uses of $(*F) in arch/um

d38b69689c Revert "kbuild: fix make -rR breakage"
This reverts commit e5c44fd88c.

Thanks to Daniel Ritz and Michal Piotrowski for noticing the problem.

Daniel says:

  "[The] reason is a recent change that made modules always shows as
   module.mod.  it breaks modprobe and probably many scripts..besides
   lsmod looking horrible

   stuff like this in modprobe.conf:
        install pcmcia_core /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcmcia_core; /sbin/modprobe pcmcia
   makes modprobe fork/exec endlessly calling itself...until oom
   interrupts it"

e5c44fd88c kbuild: fix make -rR breakage
make failed to supply the filename when using make -rR and using $(*F)
to get target filename without extension.
This bug was not reproduceable in small scale but using:
$(basename $(notdir $@)) fixes it with same functionality.

d9df92e22a kbuild: properly pass options to hostcc when doing make O=..
This fix a longstanding bug where proper options was not
passed to hostcc in case of a make O=.. build.
This bug showed up in (not yet merged) klibc, and is not known
to have any counterpart in-kernel.
Fixed by moving the flags macro to Kbuild.include so it can be used
by both Makefile.lib and Makefile.host.

f83b5e323f kbuild: set correct KBUILD_MODNAME when using well known kernel symbols as module names
This patch fixes a problem when we use well known kernel symbols as module
names.

For example, if module source name is current.c, idle_stack.c or etc.,
we have a bad KBUILD_MODNAME value.
For example, KBUILD_MODNAME will be "get_current()" instead of "current", or
"(init_thread_union.stack)" instead of "idle_task".

The trick is to define a stringify macro on the commandline - named
KBUILD_STR for namespace reasons - and then to stringify the module
name.

There are a few uses of KBUILD_MODNAME throughout the tree but the usage
is for debug and will not be harmed by this change so left untouched for now.

While at it KBUILD_BASENAME was changed too. Any spinlock usage in the
unix module would have created wrong section names without it.
Usage in spinlock.h fixed so it no longer stringify KBUILD_BASENAME.

Original patch from Ustyogov Roman - all bugs introduced by me.

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.

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!
