[SPARC64]: Stop putting -finline-limit=XXX into CFLAGS

2005-12-20T22:53:05+00:00

It was a stupid workaround for the "static inline" vs.
"extern inline" issues of long ago, and it is what causes
schedule() to be inlined like crazy into kernel/sched.c
when -Os is specified.

MIPS and S390 should probably do the same.

Now CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE can be safely used on sparc64
once more.

Move size optimization option outside of EMBEDDED menu, mark it EXPERIMENTAL

2005-12-15T02:52:21+00:00

Also, disable on sparc64 - a number of people report breakage.  Probably
a compiler bug, but it's quite possible that it tickles some latent
kernel problem too.

It still defaults to 'y' everywhere else (when enabled through
EXPERIMENTAL), and Dave Jones points out that Fedora (and RHEL4) has
been building with size optimizations for a long time on x86, x86-64,
ia64, s390, s390x, ppc32 and ppc64.  So it is really only moderately
experimental, but the sparc64 breakage certainly shows that it can
trigger "issues".

Expose "Optimize for size" option for everybody

2005-12-13T19:39:05+00:00

Let's put my money where my mouth is.  Smaller code is almost always
faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles
to make up for.  And system software - kernels in particular - are known
for taking more cache misses than most other kinds.

On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench
seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

[PATCH] allow KOBJECT_UEVENT=n only if EMBEDDED

2005-12-13T17:18:54+00:00

KOBJECT_UEVENT=n seems to be a common pitfall for udev users in 2.6.14 .

-mm already contains a bigger patch removing this option that is IMHO
too big for being applied now to 2.6.15-rc.

This patch simply allows KOBJECT_UEVENT=n only if EMBEDDED.

[BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directory

2005-11-04T07:43:35+00:00

drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move
the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/
related block parts to block/ next.

[PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based upon the git commit

2005-08-10T19:11:23+00:00

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.
