Currently there is only code to parse NUMA attributes on
sun4v/niagara systems, but later on we will add such parsing
for older systems.

The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency
check where it is checked that the size of a structure
in the kernel and on the build host are the same.
For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect
when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these
situations.
This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building
for arm.

Building vmlinux.o were moved up in the dependency chain so we started
to build it before the kallsym stuff. This was done to let modpost
report section mismatch bugs even when the final link failed.

Originally I had expected the dependency of $(kallsyms.o) to
cover this but it turns out that we need to be even more explicit.
Fix this by adding a conditional dependency on firat target
used in the kallsyms serie of builds.

I just read the excellent LWN writeup of the vmsplice

because it plain should have been...

Some analysis later.. it turns out that the following line
in the top level Makefile, added by you in October 2007,
entirely disables CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR ;(
With this line removed the exploit will be nicely stopped.

CFLAGS          += $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector)

Now I realize that certain distros have patched gcc to
compensate for their lack of distro wide CFLAGS, and it's
great to work around that... but would there be a way to NOT
disable this for CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR please?
It would have made this exploit not possible for those kernels
that enable this feature (and that includes distros like Fedora)

Move the assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS up before including
the arch specific Makefile so arch makefiles may override
the setting.

include/linux/netdevice.h as follows:

	struct net_device {

Otherwise this counts as definition of ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.

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.

The check introduced in commit:

caused certain external modules not to build and
also caused 'make targz-pkg' to fail.
This is a minimal fix so we revert to previous
behaviour - but we do not overwrite the Makefile
in the top-level directory.

Jan Altenberg <jan.altenberg@linutronix.de> reported that
building with redirected input like this failed:
make O=dir oldconfig bzImage < /dev/null

The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being
run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build
failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin.

Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the
top-level Makefile re-made by make.
Introducing an empty rule for the top-level Makefile
(and Kbuild.include) fixed the issue.

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.

For a fix the diffstat is nice:
 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

The patch reverts these commits:
 - 0f855aa6 ("kconfig: add helper to set
   config symbol from environment variable")
 - 2a113281 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
   set 64BIT with all*config targets")

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.

With this patch we have following behaviour:

  # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
  option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit
  =====================================================
  ./.                     | 32bit         | 64bit
  ARCH=x86                | 32bit         | 32bit
  ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
  ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.

So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says.  The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.

This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.

make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.
