2008-01-28Remove references to "make dep"Adrian Bunk
"make dep" is no longer required in kernel 2.6, but was still mentioned in some places. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-01-28kconfig: document use of HAVE_*Sam Ravnborg

2008-01-28Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconstSam Ravnborg
Today we have the following annotations for functions/data referencing __init/__exit functions / data: __init_refok => for init functions __initdata_refok => for init data __exit_refok => for exit functions There is really no difference between the __init and __exit versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation the following new annotations are introduced: __ref => for functions (code) that references __*init / __*exit __refdata => for variables __refconst => for const variables Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation is for and there is no longer the arbitary division between __init and __exit code. The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section is created which is made part of the usual sections in the linker script. We will start to see annotations like this: -static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = { +static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = { ----------------- -static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier = +static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata = ---------------- -static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, +static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, [The above is just random samples]. Note: No modifications were needed in modpost to support the new sections due to the newly introduced blacklisting. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-01-28kbuild: warn about ld added unique sectionsSam Ravnborg
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.

2008-01-28kbuild: add verbose option to Section mismatch reporting in modpostSam Ravnborg
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.

2008-01-28kconfig: tristate choices with mixed tristate and boolean valuesJan Beulich
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.

2008-01-28kbuild: simplified warning report in modpostSam Ravnborg

2008-01-28kbuild: use simpler section mismatch warnings in modpostSam Ravnborg

2008-01-28kbuild: link vmlinux.o before kallsyms passesSam Ravnborg

2008-01-28kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch analysisSam Ravnborg

2008-01-28Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/dataSam Ravnborg
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.

2008-01-28kbuild: check section names consistently in modpostSam Ravnborg
Now that match() is introduced use it consistently so we can share the section name definitions. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-01-28kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpostSam Ravnborg
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.

2008-01-28kbuild: code refactoring in modpostSam Ravnborg

2008-01-28kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpostSam Ravnborg
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>
2008-01-28kbuild: fix so modpost can now check any .o fileSam Ravnborg

Kconfig is powerfull tool. So powerfull that more and more software projects are using it for configuration. So instead of fixing some of them one by one, lets fix it in kernel and wait for sync.
