7840fea200 kbuild: Fix computing srcversion for modules
Recent change to fixdep:

    commit b7bd182176
    Author: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
    Date:   Thu Feb 17 15:13:54 2011 +0100

    fixdep: Do not record dependency on the source file itself

changed the format of the *.cmd files without realizing that it is also
used by modpost. Put the path to the source file to the file back, in a
special variable, so that modpost sees all source files when calculating
srcversion for modules.

b7bd182176 fixdep: Do not record dependency on the source file itself
The dependency is already expressed by the Makefiles, storing it in the
.cmd file breaks build if a .c file is replaced by .S or vice versa,
because the .cmd file contains

foo/bar.o: foo/bar.c ...

foo/bar.c ... :

so the foo/bar.c -> foo/bar.o rule triggers even if there is no
foo/bar.c anymore.

3ebe12439b decompressors: add boot-time XZ support
This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.  This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.

The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).

The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments.  I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

24fa0402a9 decompressors: add XZ decompressor module
In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
got superseded by the .xz format.  Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
XZ Utils.

These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel.  Most of
the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.

Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
  - Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
    not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
  - Integrity check support (CRC32)
  - BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
    certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
    produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
    than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.

This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
(xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
and documentation.  The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
decompressor e.g.  for Squashfs.

ab6c937dba scripts/get_maintainer.pl: use --git-fallback more often

Turns out this is an arguable defect in the script.

The MAINTAINERS entry for mm is:

MEMORY MANAGEMENT
L:	linux-mm@kvack.org
W:	http://www.linux-mm.org
S:	Maintained
F:	include/linux/mm.h
F:	mm/

There's a maintainer entry, but no named individual, so the script doesn't
use git history via --git-fallback.

This is also a defect for MAINTAINERS with status entries marked "Orphan"
or "Odd fixes".

The script now checks a section for any "M:" entry and that an "S:" entry
is supported or maintained.  If both those conditions are not satisified,
use --git-fallback as appropriate.
