c3c63b6bec kbuild: echo the record_mcount command
I had some problems with record_mcount in the Makefile and it was hard
to track down. Echo it by default to make it easier to diagnose.

78222caaee gconfig: disable "typeahead find" search in treeviews
When typeahead find is enabled, using 'y', 'n' and 'm' to change the status
of the configuration items will also start up the search system, making you
jump around the configuration.

Disabling the enable_search property does not mean that search is not
possible, it only disables the typeahead; to execute a search in the
treeview, you can just call it up explicitly (i.e.: on most systems that
will be Ctrl-f).

c47efe5548 kbuild: fix cc1 options check to ensure we do not use -fPIC when compiling
The arch/*/boot/Makefile use cc-options to check for GCC command options
and cc-options use the hardened specs when checking for GCC command
options.  When -fPIE is pass to cc1 it can't use -ffreestanding or
-fno-toplevel-reorder.  Then it fail to build stuff with -ffreestanding
and -fno-toplevel-reorder.

Thanks to Fredric Johansson for finding the main problem behind a failed
build using a hardened toolchain.

82fa39552f markup_oops: use modinfo to avoid confusion with underscored module names
When EIP is at a module having an underscore in its name, the current code

7db86dc97f ctags: usability fix
The tag file generated by the tags.sh script has some issue.

First:
  The identifier-list miss the
  DEFINE_TRACE,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL,EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOL_GPL
  special handling, which can result in a wrong tag, not to jump to the
  right variable definition or function implementation.

Second:
  It makes no real sense to include function prototypes and external and
  forward variable declarations, because jumping to a tag will sometimes
  go to this and not to the real definition and implementation. The information
  about the declaration is still there at the definition and implementation
  place.

So this patch make it lot easier to navigate through the kernel source
tree using vi.

6161352142 tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracer
This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer,
so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be

This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer;
its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

09d3f3f0e0 sparc: Kill PROM console driver.
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.

48586218b6 kconfig: add missing dependency of conf to localyesconfig
There's a dependency missing.

$ make localyesconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/docproc
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/hash
using config: '/boot/config-2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.x86_64'
/bin/sh: line 8: scripts/kconfig/conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [localyesconfig] Error 127
make: *** [localyesconfig] Error 2

Thus the script failed to run. But the sed command that converts the '=m'
to '=y' still ran. This gives us a distro config with all modules
converted to built in!

The missing dependency was for conf for localyesconfig. This
dependency was already set for localmodconfig.
