Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for
module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a
globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range().
__vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of
[VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior.
Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove
the duplication of code.

If a section is not marked with SHF_ALLOC, it will be discarded
by the module code. Therefore, it is not correct to register
the unwind tables.

There's no need to keep pointers to the ELF sections available while
the module is loaded - we only need the section pointers while we're
finding and registering the unwind tables, which can all be done during
the finalize stage of loading.

Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak.
This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't
laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is
enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable.
Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.

Kernels compiled to ARM do not need to handle Thumb-2 module relocations

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Modules compiled to Thumb-2 have two additional relocations needing to
be resolved at load time, R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24, for BL
and B.W instructions. The maximum Thumb-2 addressing range is +/-2^24
(+/-16MB) therefore the MODULES_VADDR macro in asm/memory.h is set to
(MODULES_END - 8MB) for the Thumb-2 compiled kernel.

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com>
To fully support the armv7-a instruction set/optimizations, support
for the R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS relocation types is
required.
The MOVW and MOVT are both load-immediate instructions, MOVW loads 16
bits into the bottom half of a register, and MOVT loads 16 bits into the
top half of a register.
The relocation information for these instructions has a full 32 bit
value, plus an addend which is stored in the 16 immediate bits in the
instruction itself. The immediate bits in the instruction are not
contiguous (the register # splits it into a 4 bit and 12 bit value),
so the addend has to be extracted accordingly and added to the value.
The value is then split and put into the instruction; a MOVW uses the
bottom 16 bits of the value, and a MOVT uses the top 16 bits.

It would seem when building kernel modules with modern binutils
(required by modern GCC) for ARM v4T targets (specifically observed
with the Samsung 24xx SoC which is an 920T) R_ARM_V4BX relocations
are emitted for function epilogues.
This manifests at module load time with an "unknown relocation: 40"
error message.
The following patch adds the R_ARM_V4BX relocation to the ARM kernel
module loader. The relocation operation is taken from that within the
binutils bfd library.

As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs
to know where modules are located in the virtual address space.
On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END.
Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END.
Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr()
can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to
reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the
vmalloc space.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

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!
