Fix incompatibility with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0 Fix headers_install.pl and headers_check.pl to be compatible with versions of Perl less than 5.6.0. It has been tested with Perl 5.005_03 and 5.8.8. I realize this may not be an issue for most people, but there will still be some that hit it, I imagine. There are three basic issues: 1. Prior to 5.6.0 open() only used 2 arguments, and the versions of the scripts in 2.6.27.1 use 3. 2. 5.6.0 also introduced the ability to use uninitialized scalar variables as file handles, which the current scripts make use of. 3. Lastly, 5.6.0 also introduced the pragma 'use warnings'. We can use the -w switch and be backwards compatible.

kbuild: optimize headers_* targets Move the core functionality of headers_install and headers_check to two small perl scripts. The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and changed to operate on all files in a directory. So if one file is changed then all files in the directory is processed. perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this is pure text processing which perl is good at and especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to see changes / new checks implmented. The speed is ~300% faster on this box. And the output generated to the screen is now down to two lines per directory (one for install, one for check) so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build. The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

kbuild: drop check for CONFIG_ in headers_check The check for references to CONFIG_ symbols in exported headers turned out to be too agressive with the current state of affairs.

headers_check: special case seqbuf_dump() "make headers_check" warns about soundcard.h for (at least) five years now: [...]/usr/include/linux/soundcard.h:1054: userspace cannot reference function or variable defined in the kernel We're apparently stuck with providing OSSlib-3.8 compatibility, so let's special case this declaration just to silence it. Notes: 0) Support for OSSlib post 3.8 was already removed in commit 43a990765a ("sound: Remove OSSlib stuff from linux/soundcard.h"). Five years have passed since that commit: do people still care about OSSlib-3.8? If not, quite a bit of code could be remove from soundcard.h (and probably ultrasound.h). 2) By the way, what is actually meant by: It is no longer possible to actually link against OSSlib with this header, but we still provide these macros for programs using them. Doesn't that mean compatibility to OSSlib isn't even useful? 3) Anyhow, a previous discussion soundcard.h, which led to that commit, starts at https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/20/349 . 4) And, yes, I sneaked in a whitespace fix.

scripts/headers_check.pl: correct RE in header CONFIG leak check Correct the regular expression in scripts/headers_check.pl to include '_' as a valid character in the class; otherwise, the check will report a "leaked" symbol of CONFIG_A_B_C as merely CONFIG_A. This patch will make no difference whatsoever in the current kernel tree as the call to the perl routine that does that check is currently commented out: &check_include(); &check_asm_types(); &check_sizetypes(); &check_prototypes(); # Dropped for now. Too much noise &check_config(); However, I noticed that problem when I was building the yum downloadable kernel source rpm for fedora 11 (beta), which *does* run that check, and that's where the problem became obvious.
