* 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>

* PNP: add all PNP card device id's as individual aliasesKay Sievers2008-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current PNP combined card + devices module aliase can never ever match anything, because these values are not available all at the same time to request a module. Instead of adding the combined alias, we add the device id's all as individual aliases. Device id's are exported by the PNP bus and can now properly used to request the loading of a matching module. The module snd-sbawe currently exports aliases, which can never match anything: alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0045dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0044dCTL0023* alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0042dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0041dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTLXXXXdCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL00eddCTL0041dCTL0070* alias: pnp:cCTL00e9dCTL0045dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL00e4dCTL0045dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL00c7dCTL0045dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL00c5dCTL0045dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL00c3dCTL0045dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL00c1dCTL0042dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL00b2dCTL0044dCTL0023* alias: pnp:cCTL009edCTL0044dCTL0023* alias: pnp:cCTL009ddCTL0042dCTL0022* alias: pnp:cCTL009fdCTL0041dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL009cdCTL0041dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL009adCTL0041dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0054dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0048dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0047dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0046dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0045dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0044dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0043dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0042dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0039dCTL0031dCTL0021* alias: pnp:cCTL0035dCTL0031dCTL0021* With this patch it exports only the device id's, as properly matchable aliases: alias: pnp:dCTL0070* alias: pnp:dCTL0045* alias: pnp:dCTL0023* alias: pnp:dCTL0044* alias: pnp:dCTL0022* alias: pnp:dCTL0042* alias: pnp:dCTL0041* alias: pnp:dCTL0021* alias: pnp:dCTL0031* Now, the exported value of the PNP bus can be used to autoload a matching module: $ modprobe --first-time -n -v pnp:dCTL0045 insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/core/snd-rawmidi.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/drivers/mpu401/snd-mpu401-uart.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb-common.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-csp.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sb16-dsp.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/drivers/opl3/snd-opl3-lib.ko insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-rc6-g5b825ed2-dirty/kernel/sound/isa/sb/snd-sbawe.ko $ grep CTL0045 /sys/bus/pnp/devices/*/id /sys/bus/pnp/devices/01:01.00/id:CTL0045 Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsingRichard Kennedy2008-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).

You've hit the rather subtle rules of select vs default. What happened is that SERIO is selected to m, but SERIO_I8042 isn't selected so the default of y is used instead. We already had the problem in the past that select and default don't work well together, so this patch cleans this up and makes the rule hopefully more straightforward. Basically now the value is calculated like this: (value && dependency) || select where the value is the user choice (if available and the symbol is visible) or default. In this case it means SERIO and SERIO_I8042 are both set to y due to their default and if SERIO didn't had the default, then the SERIO_I8042 value would be limited to m due to the dependency. I tested this patch with more 10000 random configs and above case is the only the difference that showed up, so I hope there is nothing that depended on the old more complex and subtle rules.

* | 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.

* kallsyms should prefer non weak symbolsPaulo Marques2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names, kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak symbol. This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last before feeding them to the kernel. This way the kernel runtime isn't changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed. Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too. So, even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this. Mathieu says: I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol corresponding to a specific system call address. Unfortunately, all the unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever non-weak symbol would be expected). Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first symbol that matched. This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is one, which seems to be the expected result.

* remove support for un-needed _extratext sectionRobin Getz2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

| | | | | | | | | | We have several legitimate uses where we export symbols annotated with one of: __devinit, __cpuinit, __meminit and their exit counterpart.

* kconfig: ignore select of unknown symbolSam Ravnborg2008-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have had warnings for a long time about select of unknow symbol but the warnings does not really makes sense since we may select a symbol that is relevant and defined in one arch but not in another arch. And as long as we do not use a common set of Kconfig files for all archs lets just ignore this case. Previously we have used this to find bad uses of select but we need a more relaible method to do so. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org>

* USB: handle idVendor of 0x0000Greg Kroah-Hartman2008-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some crazy devices in the wild have a vendor id of 0x0000. If we try to add a module alias with this id, we just can't do it due to a check in the file2alias.c file. Change the test to verify that both the vendor and product ids are 0x0000 to show a real "blank" module alias. Note, the module-init-tools package also needs to be changed to properly generate the depmod tables.

* 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.

* kconfig: tristate choices with mixed tristate and boolean valuesJan Beulich2008-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y. Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values - there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be processed.

* 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.
