484d90eec8 x86, build: Globally set -fno-pic
GCC built with nonstandard options can enable -fpic by default.
We never want this for 32-bit kernels and it will break the build.

[ hpa: Notably the Android toolchain apparently does this. ]

d9b0cde91c x86-64, gcc: Use -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 if supported
On x86-64, the standard ABI requires alignment to 16 bytes.  However,
this is not actually necessary in the kernel (we don't do SSE except
in very controlled ways); and furthermore, the standard kernel entry
on x86-64 actually leaves the stack on an odd 8-byte boundary, which
means that gcc will generate extra instructions to keep the stack
*mis*aligned!

gcc 4.8 adds an -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 option to override this
and lets us save some stack space and a handful of instructions.

Note that this causes us to pass -mno-sse twice; this is redundant,
but necessary since the cc-option test will fail unless -mno-sse is
passed on the same command line.

[ hpa: rewrote the patch description ]

c80ddb5263 md updates for 3.5
Main features:
  - RAID10 arrays can be reshapes - adding and removing devices and
    changing chunks (not 'far' array though)
  - allow RAID5 arrays to be reshaped with a backup file (not tested
    yet, but the priciple works fine for RAID10).
  - arrays can be reshaped while a bitmap is present - you no longer
    need to remove it first
  - SSSE3 support for RAID6 syndrome calculations
 
 and of course a number of minor fixes etc.

6520fe5564 x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool
A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.

In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.

16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.

The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture.  be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.

[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
  relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
  produces bad kernels. ]

In order to support this, have CONFIG_X86_X32 be the option set in

it is enabled and binutils has been found to be functional.

303395ac3b x86: Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h from tables
Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
tables in arch/x86/syscalls.  All other information, like NR_syscalls,
is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.

This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
the near future.

This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
the same mechanism.

caa27b66bd kbuild: use INSTALLKERNEL to select customized installkernel script
Replace the use of CROSS_COMPILE to select a customized
installkernel script with the possibility to set INSTALLKERNEL
to select a custom installkernel script when running make:

    make INSTALLKERNEL=arm-installkernel install

With this patch we are now more consistent across
different architectures - they did not all support use
of CROSS_COMPILE.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE was a hack as this really belongs
to gcc/binutils and the installkernel script does not change
just because we change toolchain.

The use of CROSS_COMPILE caused troubles with an upcoming patch
that saves CROSS_COMPILE when a kernel is built - it would no
longer be installable.
[Thanks to Peter Z. for this hint]

This patch undos what Ian did in commit:

  0f8e2d62fa
  ("use ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel in arch/*/boot/install.sh")

The patch has been lightly tested on x86 only - but all changes
looks obvious.

366d19e181 x86: add specific support for Intel Atom architecture
Add another option when selecting CPU family so the kernel can be
optimized for Intel Atom CPUs. If GCC supports tuning options for
Intel Atom they will be used.

dfec072ecd kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core
General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.

Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.

Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

1648e4f805 x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux
It is common to use "make install" in restricted environments which
differ from the one which was actually used to build the kernel.  In
such environments it is highly undesirable to trigger a rebuild of any
part of the system.  Worse, the rebuild may be spurious, triggered by
differences in the environment.

5d707e9c8e stackprotector: update make rules
Impact: no default -fno-stack-protector if stackp is enabled, cleanup

Stackprotector make rules had the following problems.

* cc support test and warning are scattered across makefile and
  kernel/panic.c.

* -fno-stack-protector was always added regardless of configuration.

Update such that cc support test and warning are contained in makefile
and -fno-stack-protector is added iff stackp is turned off.  While at
it, prepare for 32bit support.

b40a4392a3 stackprotector: turn not having the right gcc into a #warning
If the user selects the stack-protector config option, but does not have
a gcc that has the right bits enabled (for example because it isn't build
with a glibc that supports TLS, as is common for cross-compilers, but also
because it may be too old), then the runtime test fails right now.

This patch adds a warning message for this scenario. This warning accomplishes
two goals
1) the user is informed that the security option he selective isn't available
2) the user is suggested to turn of the CONFIG option that won't work for him,
   and would make the runtime test fail anyway.
