Fix modpost failures in fedora 17

2012-05-07T15:56:34Z

commit e88aa7bbbe3046a125ea1936b16bb921cc9c6349 upstream. The symbol table on x86-64 starts to have entries that have names like: _GLOBAL__sub_I_65535_0___mod_x86cpu_device_table They are of type STT_FUNCTION and this one had a length of 18. This matched the device ID validation logic and it barfed because the length did not meet the device type's criteria. -------------------- FATAL: arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel: sizeof(struct x86cpu_device_id)=16 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_x86cpu_device_table=18. Fix definition of struct x86cpu_device_id in mod_devicetable.h -------------------- These are some kind of compiler tool internal stuff being emitted and not something we want to inspect in modpost's device ID table validation code. So skip the symbol if it is not of type STT_OBJECT. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver

2011-05-10T19:54:54Z

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

modpost: support objects with more than 64k sections

2010-08-03T13:05:56Z

This patch makes modpost able to process object files with more than 64k sections. Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example) with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example, by this document: "IA-64 gABI Proposal 74: Section Indexes" http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/abi/prop-74-sindex.html Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

It needs your first patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h. Verified that aliases for these modules are generated correctly: drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c drivers/net/ne.c drivers/net/3c515.c drivers/net/smc-ultra.c drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c drivers/scsi/aha1542.c drivers/scsi/aha152x.c drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c Tested with RTL8019AS (ne), AVA-1505AE (aha152x) and dtc436e (g_NCR5380) cards - they now work automatically. Generate pnp:d aliases for isapnp_device_tables. This allows udev to load these modules automatically. Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zary Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

phylib: Support phy module autoloading

2010-04-02T21:30:39Z

We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed arches

2010-01-17T19:00:53Z

The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol prefixes. It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal unprefixed symbol. But then it uses the length of the original symbol to check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is looking for. On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing, so there is no problem. On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways. But every once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults. For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name". The substring will thus return one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match". But then "match" will be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will exceed the storage. i.e. the code ends up doing: char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0'; Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
