The patch titled Subject: kdb: det rid of broken attempt to print CCVERSION in kdb summary has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kdb-get-rid-of-broken-attempt-to-print-ccversion-in-kdb-summary.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/kdb-get-rid-of-broken-attempt-to-print-ccversion-in-kdb-summary.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/kdb-get-rid-of-broken-attempt-to-print-ccversion-in-kdb-summary.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kdb: det rid of broken attempt to print CCVERSION in kdb summary If you drop into kdb and type "summary", it prints out a line that says this: ccversion CCVERSION ...and I don't mean that it actually prints out the version of the C compiler. It literally prints out the string "CCVERSION". The version of the C Compiler is already printed at boot up and it doesn't seem useful to replicate this in kdb. Let's just delete it. We can also delete the bit of the Makefile that called the C compiler in an attempt to pass this into kdb. This will remove one extra call to the C compiler at Makefile parse time and (very slightly) speed up builds.
