* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild-fixes:
Don't clean bounds.h and asm-offsets.h
kconfig: incorrect 'len' field initialisation ?
kernel-doc: allow unnamed bit-fields
kbuild: filter away debug symbols from kernel symbols
Remove *.rej pattern from .gitignore
MAINTAINERS: document names of new kbuild trees

kbuild: escape meta characters in regular expression in make TAGS

Since 97965478a66fbdf0f4ad5e4ecc4828f0cb548a45 ("mm: Get rid of __ZONE_COUNT")
mmzone.h includes bounds.h.
Calling make clean after make prepare removes bounds.h
again so when building external modules this fails.

Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> introduced a code adds
menuconfig SOMETHING in Kconfig to tags output when you did "make tags".
See http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=80ff26241623875636674a31c0540a78c0fb5433
"make tags" may work fine with his code. However make TAGS doesn't work well
because etags command requires backslashes to escape meta characters like
`(', `)' and `|'.
Here is a patch.

PowerPC will start moving board defconfigs into subarch-specific
subdirs soon. "make help" currently does not look in subdirs to
find the defconfigs to show. This is partially a good thing,
since there are way too many defconfigs for one list.
This patch makes the main "make help" display something like
help-40x - Show 40x-specific targets
help-44x - Show 44x-specific targets
help-boards - Show all of the above
and wires up stuff so those new help-* commands actually work.
[sam: fixed it up to display x86 defconfigs too]

Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4
gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=...
option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config
option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel.
I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit
and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures. With some research and
fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably
lowered.
With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think
that is all code that should be just fixed.
At some point (when gcc 4.4 is released and widely used) this should
obsolete make checkstack

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
security thing, and that got me wondering why this attack
wasn't stopped by the CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR option...
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.

Setting the option DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH will
report additional section mismatch'es but this
should in the end makes it possible to get rid of
all of them.

With this patch I'm able to find the definition of _xmit_lock defined in
include/linux/netdevice.h as follows:
struct net_device {
...
spinlock_t _xmit_lock ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp;
}
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.
