      kbuild: fix installing external modules · 9b213118
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> reported:
        Installing external modules is supposed to put them in some path
        under /lib/modules/<version>/extra/subdir/, but this change:
        http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/?PAGE=cset&REV=1.1982.9.23
      
      
        makes them go under /lib/modules/<version>/extrasubdir
      
       (for example, make M=fs/ext3 modules_install puts ext3.ko in
       /lib/modules/<version>/extrafs/ext3.ko)
      
      This was the case only when specifying a trailing slash to M=..
      
      Fixed by removing trailing slash if present so
      we correctly match dir part of target.

      kbuild: add option for stripping modules while installing them · ac031f26

      Add option for stripping modules while installing them.
      
      This function adds support for stripping modules while they are being
      installed.  CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL (which will probably become more
      popular as developers use kdump) causes the size of the installed
      modules to grow by a factor of 9 or so.
      
      Some kernel package systems solve this problem by stripping the debug
      information from /lib/modules after running "make modules_install",
      but that may not work for people who are installing directly into
      /lib/modules --- root partitions that were sized to handle 16 megs
      worth of modules may not be quite so happy with 145 megs of modules,
      so the "make modules_install" never succeeds.
      
      This patch allows such users to request modules_install to strip the
      modules as they are installed.

      kbuild: introduce Kbuild.include · 8ec4b4ff
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      
      Kbuild.include is a placeholder for definitions originally present in
      both the top-level Makefile and scripts/Makefile.build.
      There were a slight difference in the filechk definition, so the most videly
      used version was kept and usr/Makefile was adopted for this syntax.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
