2006-05-21[PATCH] kbuild: check SHT_REL sectionsAtsushi Nemoto
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.

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>

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.

2006-02-19kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stageSam Ravnborg
Section mismatch is identified as references to .init* sections from non .init sections. And likewise references to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections. .init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates. .exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and thus references to .exit are also oops candidates. The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted. They will though be kept for a while so users can do double checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts so result is not 1:1. All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost. Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

2006-01-04[PATCH] Input: add modalias supportRusty Russell
Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes. It uses comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge). The changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias outside __KERNEL__. I chose not to move those definitions to mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile of something else in the kernel. The rest is fairly straightforward.

2005-12-26kbuild: set correct KBUILD_MODNAME when using well known kernel symbols as ↵Ustyugov Roman
module names This patch fixes a problem when we use well known kernel symbols as module names. For example, if module source name is current.c, idle_stack.c or etc., we have a bad KBUILD_MODNAME value. For example, KBUILD_MODNAME will be "get_current()" instead of "current", or "(init_thread_union.stack)" instead of "idle_task". The trick is to define a stringify macro on the commandline - named KBUILD_STR for namespace reasons - and then to stringify the module name. There are a few uses of KBUILD_MODNAME throughout the tree but the usage is for debug and will not be harmed by this change so left untouched for now. While at it KBUILD_BASENAME was changed too. Any spinlock usage in the unix module would have created wrong section names without it. Usage in spinlock.h fixed so it no longer stringify KBUILD_BASENAME. Original patch from Ustyogov Roman - all bugs introduced by me. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2005-12-25kbuild: Fix crc-error warning on modulesLuke Yang
This is the patch for the following issue: In include/linux/module.h, "__crc_" and "__ksymtab_" are hard coded to be the prefix for some kinds of symbols (CRC symbol and ksymtab section). But in script /mod/modpost.c, MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##"__crc_" is used as the prefix to search CRC symbols. So if an architecture (such as h8300 or Blackfin) defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX as not NULL ("_"), modpost will always warn about "no invalid crc". And it is the same with KSYMTAB_PFX.
