| * [MODULES]: Don't allow statically declared exportsPatrick McHardy2006-03-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add an extern declaration for exported symbols to make the compiler warn on symbols declared statically. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* | [PATCH] Remove MODULE_PARMRusty Russell2006-03-251-19/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the most unloved drivers anyway.

* [PATCH] fix module sysfs files reference countingGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-03-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The module files, refcnt, version, and srcversion did not properly increment the owner's module reference count, allowing the modules to be removed while the files were open, causing oopses. This patch fixes this, and also fixes the problem that the version and srcversion files were not showing up, unless CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD was enabled, which is not correct.

* [PATCH] add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE()Greg Kroah-Hartman2006-03-201-0/+9
| | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to mark symbols that will be changed in the future, so that kernel modules that don't include MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and use the symbols, will be flagged and printed out to the system log. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* [PATCH] modules: fix sparse warning for every MODULE_PARMPavel Roskin2005-10-301-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | sparse complains about every MODULE_PARM used in a module: warning: symbol '__parm_foo' was not declared. Should it be static? The fix is to split declaration and initialization. While MODULE_PARM is obsolete, it's not something sparse should report.

* [PATCH] modules: add version and srcversion to sysfsMatt Domsch2005-06-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds version and srcversion files to /sys/module/${modulename} containing the version and srcversion fields of the module's modinfo section (if present). /sys/module/e1000 |-- srcversion `-- version This patch differs slightly from the version posted in January, as it now uses the new kstrdup() call in -mm. Why put this in sysfs? a) Tools like DKMS, which deal with changing out individual kernel modules without replacing the whole kernel, can behave smarter if they can tell the version of a given module. The autoinstaller feature, for example, which determines if your system has a "good" version of a driver (i.e. if the one provided by DKMS has a newer verson than that provided by the kernel package installed), and to automatically compile and install a newer version if DKMS has it but your kernel doesn't yet have that version. b) Because sysadmins manually, or with tools like DKMS, can switch out modules on the file system, you can't count on 'modinfo foo.ko', which looks at /lib/modules/${kernelver}/... actually matching what is loaded into the kernel already. Hence asking sysfs for this. c) as the unbind-driver-from-device work takes shape, it will be possible to rebind a driver that's built-in (no .ko to modinfo for the version) to a newly loaded module. sysfs will have the currently-built-in version info, for comparison. d) tech support scripts can then easily grab the version info for what's running presently - a question I get often. There has been renewed interest in this patch on linux-scsi by driver authors. As the idea originated from GregKH, I leave his Signed-off-by: intact, though the implementation is nearly completely new. Compiled and run on x86 and x86_64.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+570
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!
