* kbuild: do not warn about __*init/__*exit symbols being exportedSam Ravnborg2008-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | We have several legitimate uses where we export symbols annotated with one of: __devinit, __cpuinit, __meminit and their exit counterpart. So let's stop warning about those being exported in favour of adding all sorts of workaround to silence the warning. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* kbuild: print only total number of section mismatces foundSam Ravnborg2008-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | We have too many section mismatches detected at the moment. So silence modpost and prevent the option from being set in a typical allyesconfig build. Tell the user how to see all the deteils in the summary message from modpost. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* kbuild: warn about ld added unique sectionsSam Ravnborg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc and assembler then if the assembler code do not add the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot and a number. Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections. It will result in warnings like this: WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains section definitions for use in .S files. All warnings seen with a defconfig build for: x86 (32+64bit) and sparc64 has been fixed (via respective maintainers). arm, powerpc (64 bit), s390 (32 bit), ia64, alpha, sh4 checked - no warnings seen with a defconfig build.

* kbuild: add verbose option to Section mismatch reporting in modpostSam Ravnborg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es). To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis" in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH). If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost. Sample outputs: WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr The function discover_ebda() references the variable __initdata ebda_addr. This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong. WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit() The variable pci_serial_quirks references the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console, WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu() The symbol arch_register_cpu is exported and annotated __cpuinit Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.

* Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/dataSam Ravnborg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG), __cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG) allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual configuration of for example HOTPLUG. This has the effect that all users see much more Section mismatch warnings than before because they were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled. The advantage of this is that when building a piece of code then it is much more likely that the Section mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be felt less random of nature.

* kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpostSam Ravnborg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the bad combinations of sections that refer to other sections. Compared to the previous approach we are much less dependent on knowledge of what additional sections the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false positives low. The implmentation is changed to use a table based lookup and we now check all combinations in first pass so we no longer need separate passes for init and exit sections. Tested that the same warnings are generated for an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

* kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpostSam Ravnborg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The relocation record sometimes contained an address which was not an exactly match for a symbol. Implment some simple logic such that if there is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained in the relocation record then print the name of this symbol.

* kbuild: modpost problem when symbols move from one module to anotherTrent Piepho2007-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When part of build an external module tree, modpost first reads in the kernel's and then the external tree's Module.symvers files. From these files it establishes a symbol => module mapping. When it later reads in each module built and processes the symbols it finds, it discovers the symbol=>module mapping from Module.symvers and leaves it as it is. The problem comes with a module has been re-named or a symbol has moved from one module to another, since the Module.symvers file was generated. modpost does not update the symbol=>module mapping when it finds the new location of the symbol when scanning the newly built modules. This results in the module containing incorrect dependency information and the new Module.symvers file written by modpost will also contain the incorrect mappings, perpetuating the problem to the next build, and so on. When building the out of kernel development tree for kernel subsystem, like v4l-dvb or ALSA, deleting the external Module.symvers file before building (which the kernel build system doesn't do and shouldn't be necessary anyway), won't fix the problem. modpost still reads the kernel's Module.symvers, and since we a building a kernel subsystem, it will define the same symbols as the external modules.

* [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=nPavel Emelyanov2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS is not set to save more space in memory. The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section, as noticed by David, since the init section will have references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already done with the __init_refok.

* kbuild: fix modpost warnings for xtensaSam Ravnborg2007-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore, reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those warnings. The naming convention defines the name for a literal section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp() to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0 should not cause any regressions for other architectures. We also need to suppress warnings for two informational sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture.

* kbuild: do section mismatch check on full vmlinuxSam Ravnborg2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across the .o files. Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed. The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated, with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later stage. To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one. It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker. The closest I've been able to find to documentation is: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/emultempl/sh64elf.em?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src It's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf32-sh64.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src that describes for which ISA a range is used.

When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

* kbuild: add "Section mismatch" warning whitelist for powerpcLi Yang2007-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes the following class of "Section mismatch" warnings when building powerpc platforms. WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:.got2 from prom_entry (offset 0x0) WARNING: arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:mpc8313_rdb_probe from .machine.desc after 'mach_mpc8313_rdb' (at offset 0x4) ....

* kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mipsAtsushi Nemoto2007-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show usefull symbol name. This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend value. This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with apply_relocate() routine in kernel code. Without this patch: MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xf4) and 'try_name' WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap' WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap' With this patch: MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap' WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap' Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show "set_up_list3s" name.

* kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearerRussell King2007-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Change modpost section mismatch warnings to be less confusing; model them on the binutils linker warnings which we all know how to interpret. Also, fix the wrong ordering of arguments for the final case - fromsec and refsymname were reversed. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Acked-by: David S.
