modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard

2008-05-04T07:24:47+00:00

Not all device types need a wildcard at the end of their module
aliases. In particular, for i2c module aliases, the trailing wildcard
is not only unneeded, it could also cause the wrong driver to be
loaded.

As I2C devices have no IDs, i2c module aliases are simple, arbitrary
device names. For example:

$ /sbin/modinfo lm90
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.25-git18/kernel/drivers/hwmon/lm90.ko
author:         Jean Delvare 
description:    LM90/ADM1032 driver
license:        GPL
vermagic:       2.6.25-git18 mod_unload
depends:        hwmon
alias:          i2c:lm90*
alias:          i2c:adm1032*
alias:          i2c:lm99*
alias:          i2c:lm86*
alias:          i2c:max6657*
alias:          i2c:adt7461*
alias:          i2c:max6680*
$

This would cause trouble if one I2C chip name matches the beginning of
another I2C chip name and both chips are supported by different
drivers. For example, an i2c device named lm9042 would cause the lm90
driver to be loaded, while it doesn't support that device. This case
has yet to be seen in practice, but still, I'd like to fix it now. The
cleanest fix is to remove the trailing wildcard from i2c module aliases.

Here's a patch doing this.

Not all device type aliases need a trailing wildcard, in particular
the i2c aliases don't. Don't add a wildcard by default in do_table(),
instead let each device type handler add it if needed.

I have tested types acpi, dmi, eisa, i2c, ide, ieee1394, input, pci,
pcmcia, platform, pnp, scsi, serio, ssb and usb. Other types (ccw, of,
vio, parisc, sdio and virtio) are untested.

kallsyms: nuke all ChangeLog, this should be logged by git

2008-04-30T15:29:31+00:00

Pointed out by Paulo:
  "When I wrote this initially, it was a mistake to add a Changelog in
   the first place, but I didn't know better at the time.

   If you're going to make changes to this file, please remove all the
   Changelog, instead of adding more entries to it.  The 'Changelog'
   should be kept by the version control system, and not the source code
   itself."

i2c: Add support for device alias names

2008-04-29T21:11:39+00:00

Based on earlier work by Jon Smirl and Jochen Friedrich.

This patch allows new-style i2c chip drivers to have alias names using
the official kernel aliasing system and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). At this
point, the old i2c driver binding scheme (driver_name/type) is still
supported.

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.18

2008-04-29T15:06:05+00:00

This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of
new checks.

Of note:
 - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external
   assignments,
 - printf format strings including %L are reported,
 - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had
   temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to
   the loss of its test.

Andy Whitcroft (8):
      Version: 0.18
      false should trip 0 assignment checks
      tests: reinstate missing tests
      tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test
      fix extern checks for variables
      check for and report %Lu, %Ld, and %Li
      ensure we only start a statement on lines with some content
      extern spacing

update checkpatch.pl to version 0.17

2008-04-29T15:06:05+00:00

This version brings improvements to external declaration detection, fixes to
quote tracking, fixes to unary tracking, some clarification of wording, and
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

Of note:
 - much better unary tracking across preprocessor directives
 - UTF8 checks highlight the character at fault
 - widening of mutex detection

Andy Whitcroft (17):
      Version: 0.17
      values: __attribute__ carries through the previous type
      quotes: should only follow "positive" lines
      clarify the indent tabs over spaces wording
      loosen NR_CPUS check for array range initialisers
      detect external function declarations without an extern prefix
      function declaration arguments should be with the identifier
      DEFINE_MUTEX should report in line with struct mutex
      NR_CPUS is valid in preprocessor statements
      comment detection should not start on the @@ line
      types: add support for #undef
      tighten mutex/completion reports to usage
      allow export of function pointers
      values: preprocessor #define is out of line maintain values
      values: #define does not always have parentheses
      unary '*' may be const
      utf8 checks should report location of the invalid character

      make checkpatch.pl really skip

kconfig: add named choice group

2008-04-28T21:05:48+00:00

As choice dependency are now fully checked, it's quite easy to add support
for named choices. This lifts the restriction that a choice value can only
appear once, although it still has to be within the same group,
but multiple choices can be joined by giving them a name.
While at it I cleaned up a little the choice type logic to simplify it a
bit.

kconfig: fix choice dependency check

2008-04-28T21:04:57+00:00

Properly check the dependency of choices as a group.
Also fix that sym_check_deps() correctly terminates the dependency loop
error check (otherwise it would continue printing the dependency chain).
