2007-01-11[PATCH] x86-64: Modpost whitelist reference to more symbols (pattern 3)Vivek Goyal1-2/+24
o MODPOST generates warning on i386 if kernel is compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__init_begin from .text between 'free_initmem' (at offset 0xc0114fd3) and 'do_test_wp_bit' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0xc012aeae) and 'kernel_text_address' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_einittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0xc012aeb7) and 'kernel_text_address' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'get_symbol_pos' (at offset 0xc0135776) and 'reset_iter' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_einittext from .text between 'get_symbol_pos' (at offset 0xc013577d) and 'reset_iter' o These symbols (__init_begin, _sinittext, _einittext) belong to init section and generally represent a section boundary. These are special symbols in the sense that their size is zero and no memory is allocated for them in init section. Their addr and value are same. So even if we free the init section, it is ok to reference them. o Whitelist access to such select symbols in MODPOST.

2007-01-11[PATCH] x86-64: modpost add more symbols to whitelist pattern2Vivek Goyal1-0/+1
o MODPOST generates warning for i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y and serial console support is enabled. o Serial console setup function, serial8250_console_setup(), is a non __init function and it calls functions which are of type __init(). (uart_parse_options() and uart_set_options()). Assuming, setup will be called during init time, changing serial8250_console_setup() to __init. o Adding one more pattern to modpost whitelist. Console drivers might have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt interceptsRusty Russell1-0/+2
It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude, are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it. The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded). Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check. And: Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.

2006-10-25[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in modulesBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+2
This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader. It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it would warn when used in .init.text).

2006-09-27[PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes supportMichael Tokarev1-0/+12
Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and (at least some) EISA-aware modules. The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC): eisa:sTCM5093 and the in-module alias like: eisa:sTCM5093* The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated. There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those maps are obsolete anyway. The rationale for this patch is: a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias support, to unify driver loading b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: Valerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-25kbuild: fail kernel compilation in case of unresolved module symbolsKirill Korotaev1-6/+19
At stage 2 modpost utility is used to check modules. In case of unresolved symbols modpost only prints warning. IMHO it is a good idea to fail compilation process in case of unresolved symbols (at least in modules coming with kernel), since usually such errors are left unnoticed, but kernel modules are broken. - new option '-w' is added to modpost: if option is specified, modpost only warns about unresolved symbols - modpost is called with '-w' for external modules in Makefile.modpost Signed-off-by: Andrey Mirkin <amirkin@sw.ru> Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-09-20[S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus.Martin Schwidefsky1-0/+12
Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ (see poll_thread parameter). The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes, ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between two ap bus scans to find new devices. The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are: 3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

2006-08-15[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix: modpost-64bit-fix.patchHans de Goede1-1/+1
There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in a non working joystick (for the average user). In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input aliases: static void do_input(char *alias, kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max) { unsigned int i; for (i = min; i < max; i++) if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG))) sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i); } On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*" for the second etc. However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20 + first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64. scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads: if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG))) That should be: if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG))) Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a 64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits too low.

The kernel now requires that CC be 3.1.0 or higher. But we shouldn't place that requirement upon HOSTCC unless we really need to. Fixes my ia64 problem. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: include symbol names in section mismatch warningsSam Ravnborg1-17/+47
Try to look up the symbol that is referenced. Include the symbol name in the warning message. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: fix segfault in modpostSam Ravnborg1-1/+1
Do not try to look up section name until we know it is not a special section. Otherwise we will address outside legal space and segfault. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: do not segfault in modpost if MODVERDIR is not definedSam Ravnborg1-3/+6
A combination of calling modpost with option -a and MODVERDIR undefined caused segmentation fault. So provide a default value and accept the error messages it generates instead. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-02-19kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stageSam Ravnborg2-0/+268
Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

2006-02-19kbuild: warn about duplicate exported symbolsSam Ravnborg1-3/+13
In modpost introduce a check for symbols exported twice. This check caught only one victim (inet_bind_bucket_create) for which a patch is already sent to netdev. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
