When introducing the generic asm-offsets.h support the dependency
chain for the prepare targets was changed. All build scripts expecting
include/asm/asm-offsets.h to be made when using the prepare target would broke.
With the limited number of prepare targets left in arch Makefiles
the trivial solution was to introduce a new arch specific target: archprepare

The dependency chain looks like this now:

prepare
  |
  +--> prepare0
         |
         +--> archprepare
                |
		+--> scripts_basic
                +--> prepare1
                       |
                       +---> prepare2
                               |
                               +--> prepare3

So prepare 3 is processed before prepare2 etc.
This guaantees that the asm symlink, version.h, scripts_basic
are all updated before archprepare is processed.

prepare0 which build the asm-offsets.h file will need the
actions performed by archprepare.

The head target is now named prepare, because users scripts will most
likely use that target, but prepare-all has been kept for compatibility.

Splitting of autoconf.h requires that split-include was built before,
and
needs to be-re-done when split-include changes. This dependency was
previously missing. Additionally, since autoconf.h is (suppoosed to
be)
generated as a side effect of executing config targets, include/linux
should be created prior to running the respective sub-make.

Building asm-offsets.h has been moved to a seperate Kbuild file
located in the top-level directory. This allow us to share the
functionality across the architectures.

The old rules in architecture specific Makefiles will die
in subsequent patches.

Furhtermore the usual kbuild dependency tracking is now used
when deciding to rebuild asm-offsets.s. So we no longer risk
to fail a rebuild caused by asm-offsets.c dependencies being touched.

With this common rule-set we now force the same name across
all architectures. Following patches will fix the rest.

Too many changes to release a final 2.6.13.

If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the
current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and
the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string.  This makes it
easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your
older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.

During last phase of the build the following message were displayed:

This message appears due to slightly changed semantics
of cmd and if_changed_rule.
The easy fix was to insert a dummy command first in rule_ksym_ld.
The alternative was to redo part of this processing in the top-level
Makefile - a volatile area that I try to avoid.

We're having the following situation: There are user-space applications
that include kernel headers directly. With a completely unconfigured
/usr/src/linux tree, including most headers fails because essential
files are not there:

	include/asm
	include/linux/autoconf.h
	include/linux/version.h

So we create these files. On the other hand, we want to use
/usr/src/linux as read-only source for building kernels or additional
modules. Now when building a kernel with a separate output directory
(O=), there is a check in the main makefile for the include/asm symlink.
There is no real need for this check: if we ensure that
$(objdir)/include/asm is always created as the patch does,
$(srctree)/include/asm becomes irrelevant.

I have a single source tree which I cross compile for a couple of
different architectures using ARHC=foo O=blah etc.

The existing cscope target is very handy but only indexes the current
$(ARCH), which is a pain since inevitably I'm interested in the other
one at any given time ;-). This patch allows me to pass a list of
architectures for cscope to index. e.g.
	make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="i386 arm" cscope

This change also works for etags etc, and I presume it is just as useful
there.

I tried the Linux Makefile 'make cscope' target, and found that the
generated database is not compatible with 'cscope.el' under XEmacs.
The thing is that 'cscope.el' does not allow setting the command line
options to the 'cscope' commands it runs, and it errors with a message
about the options not matching the ones used to generate the index.

It turns out the cscope designers already thought of this.  The
options can be written into the "cscope.files".  The included patch
moves the "-q" and "-k" options from the 'cmd_cscope' to the
'cmd_cscope-file', echoing them into the top of the files listing.

Now the index is generated with the "-q" option, and when 'cscope.el'
performs it's search, it uses that argument as well.  Lookups are fast
and everyone is happy.

Using the syntax:

kbuild now allows one to build a module including the final link stage.
This is usefull when one only wants to compile a single module and thus do
