2012-09-28Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells1-4/+32
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

2011-07-24modules: add default loader hook implementationsJonas Bonn1-1/+6
The module loader code allows architectures to hook into the code by providing a small number of entry points that each arch must implement. This patch provides __weakly linked generic implementations of these entry points for architectures that don't need to do anything special.

2009-01-05module: fix module loading failure of large kernel modules for pariscHelge Deller1-0/+3
When creating the final layout of a kernel module in memory, allow the module loader to reserve some additional memory in front of a given section. This is currently only needed for the parisc port which needs to put the stub entries there to fulfill the 17/22bit PCREL relocations with large kernel modules like xfs.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+47
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!
