There seems to be a kconfig bug due to MODULES not always being
evaluated if no .config is found. Take the following Kconfig as an
example:
config MODULES
def_bool y
config FOO
def_tristate m
With no .config, the following configuration is generated:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_FOO=y
With an empty .config, the following:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_FOO=m
Tristate choice statements can also exhibit the problem, due to having an
implicit rev_dep (select) containing "m".
The problem is that MODULES is never evaluted in conf_read_simple() unless
there's a .config. The following patch fixes this.

nconfig segfaults when help text contains the character '%'. For a quick
example, navigate to the kernel compression options and get the help for
bzip2. Doing so triggers a call to mvwprintw() with a string containing
'%' and no extra arguments to fill in the specifier's value. Fix this
case by printing the literal string retrieved from the kconfig.

I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have
moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by
recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised.
However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future
problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal
code.
This is what I originally saw:
Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus
contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount
in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted
for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount
call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop()
would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash.
In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26
relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.

The 'source' builtin is a bash alias to the '.' (dot) builtin. While the
former is supported only by bash, the latter is specified in POSIX and
works fine with all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of.
The '$_' special parameter is specific to bash. It is partially
supported in dash too but it always evaluates to the current script path
(which causes the script to enter a loop recursively re-executing
itself). This is why I have replaced the two occurences of '$_' with the
explicit parameter.
The 'local' builtin is another example of bash-specific code. Although
it is supported by all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of, it is not
part of POSIX specification and thus the code should not rely on it
assigning a specific value to the local variable. Moreover, the 'posh'
shell has a limited version of 'local' builtin not supporting direct
variable assignments. Thus, I have broken one of the 'local'
declarations down into a (non-POSIX) 'local' declaration and a plain
(POSIX-compliant) variable assignment.

This makes it so "make oldconfig" really prompts for any choice where

The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options
even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands
to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating
the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any
way.
The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements
and prints a warning on selecting an option if its direct dependencies
are not met.

This patch makes it possible to use the Coccinelle checker with the C
variable of the build system. To check only newly edited code, the
following command may be used:
'make C={1,2} CHECK="scripts/coccicheck"'
This runs every semantic patch in scripts/coccinelle by default. The
COCCI variable may additionally be used to only apply a single
semantic patch.

The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
easily expressed using waitid(). Although it's true that wait4()
can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.
Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
syscalls at number 260.

Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes
sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the
toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only
once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to
a variable expansion in an ifneq statement). No user-visible change is
intended, unless one runs the setlocalversion script directly.

It just hit me.
It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
(r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr);
E.g. for the first rodata r entry:
r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr
and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something
equally wise.
