* Allow arch to initialize arch field of the module structureRoman Zippel2007-05-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This will later allow an arch to add module specific information via linker generated tables instead of poking directly in the module object structure.

* Add white list into modpost.c for memory hotplug code and ia64's machvec sectionYasunori Goto2007-05-081-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and ia64's section to fix section mismatchs. sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text) from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch. Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() into white list. In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These reference of __init functions are valid too.

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....

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

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that modpost can not detect section mismatch on mips and i386. On mips64, the modpost (with r_info layout fix) can detect it. The current modpst only checks SHT_RELA section but I suppose SHT_REL section should be checked also. This patch does not contain r_info layout fix. I'll post an updated r_info layout fix on next mail. Check SHT_REL sections as like as SHT_RELA sections to detect section mismatch.

| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit c8d8b837ebe4b4f11e1b0c4a2bdc358c697692ed, which caused problems for the x86 build. Quoth Sam: "It was discussed on mips list but apparently the fix was bogus. I will not have time to look into it so mips can carry this local fix until we get a proper fix in mainline."

* kbuild: fix false section mismatch warningsSam Ravnborg2006-04-151-4/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Darren Jenkins <darrenrjenkins@gmail.com> pointed out a number of false positives where we referenced variables from a _driver variable. Fix it by check for that pattern and ignore it. Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> pointed out a similar set of warnings for a number of scsi drivers. In scsi world they misname their variables *_template or *_sht so add these to list of variables that may have references to .init.text with no warning. Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> also pointed out a scsi driver with many references to .exit.text from .rodata. This is compiler generated references and we already ignore these for .init.text, so ignore them for .exit.text also. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

| * kbuild: Fix bug in crc symbol generating of kernel and modulesLuke Yang2006-03-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c uses hardcoded "__crc_" prefix for crc symbols in kernel and modules. The prefix should be replaced by "MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##__crc_" otherwise there will be warnings when MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is not NULL. I am sorry my last patch for this issue is actually wrong.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When searching for symbols the only check performed was if offset equals st_value. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
