* modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption raceLinus Torvalds2010-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

* [S390] kprobes: add parameter check to module_free()Hendrik Brueckner2010-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | When unregistering kprobes, kprobes calls module_free() and always passes NULL for the mod parameter. Add a check to prevent NULL pointer dereferences. See commit 740a8de0796dd12890b3c8ddcfabfcb528b78d40 for more details. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] module: fix memory leak in s390 module loaderChristian Borntraeger2009-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The s390 version of module_frob_arch_sections allocates additional syminfos for got and plt offsets. These syminfos are freed on sucessful module load. If the module fails to load (e.g. missing dependency when using insmod instead of modprobe) this area is not freed. This patch lets module_free free this area. Please note, we have to set the pointer to NULL since module_free is called several times from the generic code.

* [S390] module function call optimizationMartin Schwidefsky2009-03-26
| | | | | | | | Avoid the detour over the PLT if the branch target of a function call in a module is in the range of the bras (16-bit) or brasl (32-bit) instruction. The PLT is still generated but it is unused. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] Use generic bug.Heiko Carstens2007-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will not be clobbered by a printk() call that was previously done before the illegal instruction of BUG() was hit. Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that could be increased but requires common code change.

* [PATCH] s390: cleanup KconfigMartin Schwidefsky2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X, ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
