Greg KH said he'd take the patch but hadn't as the merge window opened, so it's included here to avoid breaking build" * tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux: staging: fix up speakup kobject mode Use 'E' instead of 'X' for unsigned module taint flag.

module: remove MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE

2014-03-13T01:41:00Z

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() calles MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(); make it do the work directly. This also removes a wart introduced in the last patch, where the alias is defined to be an unknown struct type "struct type##__##name##_device_id" instead of "struct type##_device_id" (it's an extern so GCC doesn't care, but it's wrong). The other user of MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE (ISAPNP_CARD_TABLE) is unused, so delete it. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: allow multiple calls to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() per module

2014-03-13T01:41:00Z

Commit 78551277e4df5: "Input: i8042 - add PNP modaliases" had a bug, where the second call to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() overrode the first resulting in not all the modaliases being exposed. This fixes the problem by including the name of the device_id table in the __mod_*_device_table alias, allowing us to export several device_id tables per module.

tracing/module: Replace include of tracepoint.h with jump_label.h in module.h

2014-03-07T15:06:09Z

There's nothing in the module.h header that requires tracepoint.h to be included, and there may be cases that tracepoint.h may need to include module.h, which will cause recursive header issues. But module.h requires seeing HAVE_JUMP_LABEL which is set in jump_label.h which it just coincidentally gets from tracepoint.h.

module: remove rmmod --wait option.

2013-09-23T06:14:58Z

The option to wait for a module reference count to reach zero was in the initial module implementation, but it was never supported in modprobe (you had to use rmmod --wait). After discussion with Lucas, It has been deprecated (with a 10 second sleep) in kmod for the last year. This finally removes it: the flag will evoke a printk warning and a normal (non-blocking) remove attempt. Cc: Lucas De Marchi Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early

2013-09-03T07:05:47Z

DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below. After some investigation, it seems the reason is: The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory. This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be really released in the module removing process (and some error code paths).

CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.

2013-03-15T04:39:43Z

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.
