According to `man blockdev':
--getsize
Print device size (32-bit!) in sectors.
Deprecated in favor of the --getsz option.
...
--getsz
Get size in 512-byte sectors.
Hence, occurrences of `--getsize' should be replaced with `--getsz',

commit 31160d7fea
Date: Tue Jan 8 16:22:36 2013 -0500
perf tools: Fix GNU make v3.80 compatibility issue
attempts to aid the user by tapping into an existing error message,
as described in the commit message:
... Also fix an issue where _get_attempt was called with only
one argument. This prevented the error message from printing
the name of the variable that can be used to fix the problem.
or more precisely:
-$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2)))
+$(if $($(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$($(1)),$(1)),$(call _ge_attempt,$(2),$(1)))
However, The "missing" argument was in fact missing on purpose; it's
absence is a signal that the error message should be skipped, because
the failure would be due to the default value, not any user-supplied
value. This can be seen in how `_ge_attempt' uses `gea_err' (in the
config/utilities.mak file):
_ge_attempt = $(if $(get-executable),$(get-executable),$(_gea_warn)$(call _gea_err,$(2)))
_gea_warn = $(warning The path '$(1)' is not executable.)
_gea_err = $(if $(1),$(error Please set '$(1)' appropriately))
That is, because the argument is no longer missing, the value `$(1)'
(associated with `_gea_err') always evaluates to true, thus always
triggering the error condition that is meant to be reserved for
only the case when a user explicitly supplies an invalid value.
Concretely, the result is a regression in the Makefile's configuration
of python support; rather than gracefully disable support when the
relevant executables cannot be found according to default values, the
build process halts in error as though the user explicitly supplied
the values.
This new commit simply reverts the offending one-line change.

The text referred to `XX', when only a single `X' actually
existed, so this commit changes it to just `X'; a similar
change has been made for `xx'.
Also, `N' was used when it would have been more consistent
to use `X' again, so this commit replaces `N' with `X'.
This commit also chooses to leave `X' as the placeholder
for the current version of the source, and then makes `x'
the placeholder for any version number; fortunately nothing
really depends on this subtlety being understood.
Because `x' is already being used when discussing version
numbers, this commit changes such filename references as
`xxx.rej' to `some-file-name.rej'.

The value of RADEON_DEBUGFS_MAX_NUM_FILES has been used to
specify the size of an array, each element of which looks
like this:
struct radeon_debugfs {
struct drm_info_list *files;
unsigned num_files;
};
Consequently, the number of debugfs files may be much greater
than RADEON_DEBUGFS_MAX_NUM_FILES, something that the current
code ignores:
if ((_radeon_debugfs_count + nfiles) > RADEON_DEBUGFS_MAX_NUM_FILES) {
DRM_ERROR("Reached maximum number of debugfs files.\n");
DRM_ERROR("Report so we increase RADEON_DEBUGFS_MAX_NUM_FILES.\n");
return -EINVAL;
}

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
So-called \So"-called`\, a.
So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with
doubtful propriety).
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
so-called
adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help"
[syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}]
My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant'
or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of
'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings).
In English, it would be better to use:
what is called

Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:
python{,-config}
The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.
However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:
python2{,-config}
Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.
This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.
In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

This commit squashes several commits that remove:
unnecessary uname calls
`sh -c'
BUILT_INS and QUIET_BUILT_IN
They have no effect, and the `fixup-builtins' and `check-builtins.sh'
scripts don't even exist.
RUNTIME_PREFIX
It's currently never anything but unset, and it's apparently
only meaningful when Microsoft Windows is the operating system
(according to the source for git).
TEST_PROGRAMS
EXTRA_PROGRAMS
unused SHELL_PATH_SQ portions
unused test for V=2
useless exports
Only when `V' is undefined (that is, only when the value of `V'
is empty) is `export V' performed, which just has the effect of
placing the empty-valued variable `V' in the environment.
The only other script to make use of `V' is `Documentation/Makefile',
which only checks whether `V' is undefined (that is, whether the value
of `V' is empty); hence, the `export V' has no effect whatsoever.
Similarly, `export QUIET_GEN' is useless because it will only have
a non-empty value when `V' has an empty-value, and when `V' has
an empty-value, `QUIET_GEN' is always explicitly set in every
script in which it is used.
`DESTDIR' is only ever defined by the user via the environment
or the command line, both of which are automatically exported
to sub-make processes. Furthermore, no non-make sub-scripts
make use of `DESTDIR' as an environment variable.
No other scripts use `perfexec_instdir'.
unused QUIET_SUBDIR{0,1}
TAR and RPMBUILD
PTHREAD_LIBS
Maintainer's dist rules and commands
distclean target
Test suite coverage testing
PRINT_DIR and NO_SUBDIR

Some of the documentation refers to web pages under
the domain `osdl.org'. However, `osdl.org' now
redirects to `linuxfoundation.org'.
Rather than rely on redirections, this patch updates
the addresses appropriately; for the most part, only
documentation that is meant to be current has been
updated.
The patch should be pretty quick to scan and check;
each new web-page url was gotten by trying out the
original URL in a browser and then simply copying the
the redirected URL (formatting as necessary).
There is some conflict as to which one of these domain
names is preferred:
linuxfoundation.org
linux-foundation.org
So, I wrote:
info@linuxfoundation.org
and got this reply:
Message-ID: <4CE17EE6.9040807@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:41:42 -0800
From: David Ames <david@linuxfoundation.org>
...
linuxfoundation.org is preferred. The canonical name for our web site is
www.linuxfoundation.org. Our list site is actually
lists.linux-foundation.org.
Regarding email linuxfoundation.org is preferred there are a few people
who choose to use linux-foundation.org for their own reasons.
Consequently, I used `linuxfoundation.org' for web pages and
`lists.linux-foundation.org' for mailing-list web pages and email addresses;
the only personal email address I updated from `@osdl.org' was that of
Andrew Morton, who prefers `linux-foundation.org' according `git log'.
