      GCC plugin infrastructure · 6b90bd4b
      Emese Revfy authored
      
      This patch allows to build the whole kernel with GCC plugins. It was ported from
      grsecurity/PaX. The infrastructure supports building out-of-tree modules and
      building in a separate directory. Cross-compilation is supported too.
      Currently the x86, arm, arm64 and uml architectures enable plugins.
      
      The directory of the gcc plugins is scripts/gcc-plugins. You can use a file or a directory
      there. The plugins compile with these options:
       * -fno-rtti: gcc is compiled with this option so the plugins must use it too
       * -fno-exceptions: this is inherited from gcc too
       * -fasynchronous-unwind-tables: this is inherited from gcc too
       * -ggdb: it is useful for debugging a plugin (better backtrace on internal
          errors)
       * -Wno-narrowing: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (ipa-utils.h)
       * -Wno-unused-variable: to suppress warnings from gcc headers (gcc_version
          variable, plugin-version.h)
      
      The infrastructure introduces a new Makefile target called gcc-plugins. It
      supports all gcc versions from 4.5 to 6.0. The scripts/gcc-plugin.sh script
      chooses the proper host compiler (gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).
      This script also checks the availability of the included headers in
      scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h.
      
      The gcc-common.h header contains frequently included headers for GCC plugins
      and it has a compatibility layer for the supported gcc versions.
      
      The gcc-generate-*-pass.h headers automatically generate the registration
      structures for GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes.
      
      Note that 'make clean' keeps the *.so files (only the distclean or mrproper
      targets clean all) because they are needed for out-of-tree modules.
      
      Based on work created by the PaX Team.

      kconfig: simplification of scripts/extract-ikconfig · 7b76bfc8
      Dick Streefland authored
      
      I've rewritten the extract-ikconfig script to extract the kernel
      configuration from a kernel compiled with CONFIG_IKCONFIG. The main
      motivation for the rewrite was to remove the dependency on the
      external C program binoffset.c, which is compiled on the initial run.
      
      The binoffset executable is invoked with a relative path, which means
      that the old script can only be run from the top of the kernel tree,
      and only when you have write permission in the scripts directory.
      
      The new script uses tr/grep/tail/zcat only, and can be invoked from
      anywhere. The binoffset.c program has been removed. This script
      requires GNU grep 2.5 (released 2002-03-13) or higher, because the -o
      option was introduced in that version.

      sparc: Kill PROM console driver. · 09d3f3f0
      David S. Miller authored
      
      Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
      days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
      in any situation.
      
      Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
      bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
      
      If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
      depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
      of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
      so there are no excuses.
