Hi all, Changes since next-20080515: The build bug in upstream is gone. The i2c revert is no longer needed. But it gained a trivial conflict due to the fix. The net tree lost a couple of conflicts. The semaphore-removal tree needed three patches reverted because similar patches were merged into upstream and the scsi-rc-fixes trees. I have applied the following temporary patches for known build problems: "move of_device_get_modalias fo drivers/of" - the powerpc-next tree broke sparc - this should be in the powerpc-next tree shortly "initcalls: Fix m68k build and possible buffer overflow" - the compiler was generating calls to strlen on m68k (this required me to also apply two other patches that Linus applied to his tree). These three are already in Linus' tree. "Fix various 8390 builds" - the net tree broke builds on various architectures - hopefully this patch will go into the net tree shortly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have created today's linux-next tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git (tar balls and patches at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sfr/linux-next/). If you are tracking the linux-next tree using git, you should not use "git pull" to do so as that will try to merge the new linux-next release with the old one. You should use "git fetch" as mentioned in the FAQ on the wiki (see below). You can see which trees have been included by looking in the Next/Trees file in the source. There are also quilt-import.log and merge.log files in the Next directory. Between each merge, the tree was built with a ppc64_defconfig for powerpc and an allmodconfig for x86_64. After the final fixups, it is also built with powerpc allnoconfig, 44x_defconfig and allyesconfig and i386, sparc and sparc64 defconfig. Below is a summary of the state of the merge. We are up to 74 trees (counting Linus' and 13 trees of patches pending for Linus' tree), more are welcome (even if they are currently empty). Thanks to those who have contributed, and to those who haven't, please do. Status of my local build tests will be at http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/linux-next . If maintainers want to give advice about cross compilers/configs that work, we are always open to add more builds. Thanks to Jan Dittmer for adding the linux-next tree to his build tests at http://l4x.org/k/ , the guys at http://test.kernel.org/ and Randy Dunlap for doing many randconfig builds. There is a wiki covering stuff to do with linux-next at http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/ . Thanks to Frank Seidel. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au $ git checkout master $ git reset --hard stable Merging origin/master Merging x86-fixes/for-linus Merging sched-fixes/for-linus Merging powerpc-merge/merge Merging scsi-rc-fixes/master Merging net-current/master Merging sparc-current/master Merging sound-current/for-linus Merging arm-current/master Merging pci-current/for-linus Merging wireless-current/master Merging kbuild-current/master Merging quilt/driver-core.current Merging quilt/usb.current Merging quilt/driver-core Merging quilt/usb Merging x86/for-akpm Merging sched/for-akpm Merging pci/linux-next Merging quilt/device-mapper Merging hid/mm Merging quilt/i2c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in arch/powerpc/platforms/pasemi/misc.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in include/linux/i2c.h Merging quilt/kernel-doc Merging avr32/avr32-arch Merging v4l-dvb/stable Merging s390/features Merging sh/master Merging jfs/next Merging kbuild/master Merging quilt/ide Merging libata/NEXT Merging nfs/linux-next Merging xfs/master Merging infiniband/for-next Merging acpi/test Merging blackfin/for-linus Merging nfsd/nfsd-next Merging ieee1394/for-next Merging hwmon/testing Merging ubi/master Merging kvm/master Merging dlm/next Merging scsi/master Merging ia64/test Merging tests/master CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in lib/Kconfig.debug Merging ocfs2/linux-next Merging selinux/for-akpm Merging quilt/m68k Merging powerpc/powerpc-next Merging hrt/mm Merging lblnet/master Merging ext4/next Merging 4xx/next Merging async_tx/next Merging udf/for_next Merging security-testing/next Merging net/master Merging sparc/master Merging galak/powerpc-next Merging mtd/master Merging wireless/master Merging crypto/master Merging vfs/vfs-2.6.25 Merging sound/master Merging arm/devel Merging cpufreq/master Merging v9fs/for-next Merging quilt/rr Merging cifs/master Merging mmc/next Merging gfs2/master Merging semaphore/semaphore Merging semaphore-removal/semaphore-removal CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/atm/ambassador.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_mbx.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_mid.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in net/9p/trans_virtio.c $ git reset --hard $ git checkout -b tmp semaphore-removal/semaphore-removal Created commit 9732cab: Revert "Convert qla_os to use mutex instead of semaphore" Created commit ca74900: Revert "9p: Convert from semaphore to spinlock" Created commit 2d4be98: Revert "qla2xxx: Turn vport_sem into vport_mutex" $ git checkout master CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/atm/ambassador.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in drivers/net/bonding/bond_sysfs.c $ git merge tmp Merging quilt/ldp.next Applying move of_device_get_modalias fo drivers/of Applying Clean up 'print_fn_descriptor_symbol()' types Applying Split up 'do_initcalls()' into two simpler functions Applying initcalls: Fix m68k build and possible buffer overflow Applying Fix various 8390 builds
