I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

* remove the v850 portAdrian Bunk2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port. If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

The routines are intended for handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to link the same "library" code into the kernel). Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail to build modules with the added register save/restore module. There were two obvious solutions: 1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage 2) To ignore the symbols in modpost Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate linking stage for single file modules. This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc.

* modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcardJean Delvare2008-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <khali@linux-fr.org> 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.

* kbuild: support loading extra symbols in modpostRichard Hacker2008-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed. When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols: # make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module ... Building modules, stage 2. .... WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined! ...etc This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning. The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required. This patch works together with the second patch. It introduces a new make variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, which is used when calling modpost. Signed-off-by: Richard Hacker <lerichi@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

* Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kbuild: use simpler section mismatch warnings in modpostSam Ravnborg2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | The typical layout is now: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x372ec): Section mismatch: reference to .devinit.text:pci_scan_one_pbm in 'psycho_scan_bus' This is first step towards more readable warnings. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* 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: code refactoring in modpostSam Ravnborg2008-01-28

* 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. With this change modpost could find symbol names for the remaining .init.text symbols in my allyesconfig build for x86_64. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
* kbuild: fix so modpost can now check any .o fileSam Ravnborg2008-01-28

* 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.
