      x86: X86 instruction decoder build-time selftest · ca0e9bad
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      
      
      Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build
      time.
      When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86
      instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux.
      The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder
      code and check there are no differences.

      x86, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux · 1648e4f8
      H. Peter Anvin authored
      
      
      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.

      stackprotector: update make rules · 5d707e9c
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      
      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.

      x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86" · 8c6531f7
      Andreas Herrmann authored
      
      
      For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
      information is displayed when running the new kernel
      
          $ uname -m
          x86
      
      On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
      
          $ uname -m
          x66
      
      This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
      on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
      kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
      won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.
