* [PATCH] remove modpost false warnings on ARMDavid Brownell2007-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch stops "modpost" from issuing erroneous modpost warnings on ARM builds, which it's been doing since since maybe last summer. A canonical example would be driver method table entries: WARNING: <path> - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text:<name>_remove from .data after '$d' (at offset 0x4) That "$d" symbol is generated by tools conformant with ARM ABI specs; in this case it's a symbol **in the middle of** a "<name>_driver" struct. The erroneous warnings appear to be issued because "modpost" whitelists references from "<name>_driver" data into init and exit sections ... but doesn't know should also include those "$d" mapping symbols, which are not otherwise associated with "<name>_driver" symbols. This patch prevents the modpost symbol lookup code from ever returning those mapping symbols, so it will return a whitelisted symbol instead. Then things work as expected. Now to revert various code-bloating "fixes" that got merged because of this modpost bug....

* [PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt interceptsRusty Russell2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [POWERPC] Support feature fixups in modulesBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-10-24
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader.

* [PATCH] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes supportMichael Tokarev2006-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* kbuild: fail kernel compilation in case of unresolved module symbolsKirill Korotaev2006-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* [S390] zcrypt adjunct processor bus.Martin Schwidefsky2006-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix: modpost-64bit-fix.patchHans de Goede2006-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Adding an additional check to see if st_name points t a valid name made us sort out a few more false positives and let us report more correct names in warnings.

| * kbuild: kill false positives from section mismatch warnings for powerpcSam Ravnborg2006-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Building an allmodconfig kernel for ppc64 revealed a number of false positives - originally reported by Andrew Morton. This patch removes most if not all false positives for ppc64: Section .opd The .opd section contains function descriptors at least for ppc64. So ignore it for .init.text (was ignored for .exit.text). See description of function descriptors here: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi-1.7.html Section .toc1 ppc64 places some static variables in .toc1 - ignore the. Section __bug_tabe BUG() and friends uses __bug_table. Ignore warnings from that section. Module parameters are placed in .data.rel for ppc64, for adjust pattern to match on section named .data* Tested with gcc: 3.4.0 and binutils 2.15.90.0.3 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| * kbuild: whitelist false section mismatch warningsSam Ravnborg2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In several cases the section mismatch check triggered false warnings. Following patch introduce a whitelist to 'false positives' are not warned of. Two types of patterns are recognised: 1) Typical case when a module parameter is _initdata 2) When a function pointer is assigned to a driver structure In both patterns we rely on the actual name of the variable assigned Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| * kbuild: do not warn when unwind sections references .init/.exit sectionsSam Ravnborg2006-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Andrew Morton reported a number of false positives for ia64 - like these: WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind.init.text after '' (at offset 0x0) WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .IA_64.unwind.exit.text after '' (at offset 0x0) WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind after '' (at offset 0x1e8) They are all false positives - or at least the .c code looks OK. It is not known why sometimes a section name is appended and sometimes not. Fix is to accept references from all sections that includes "unwind." in the name.

| * kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stageSam Ravnborg2006-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
