Fix modpost failures in fedora 17

2012-04-18T19:42:07Z

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

mod/file2alias: make modpost compile on darwin again

2012-02-26T23:59:31Z

commit e49ce14150c64b29a8dd211df785576fa19a9858 breaks cross compiling the linux kernel on darwin hosts. This fix introduce some minimal glue to adopt linker section handling for darwin hosts.

module: fix broken isapnp handling in file2alias

2012-02-14T00:32:15Z

Handling of isapnp module aliases was broken by commit 626596e295d477c0fefa08cd5daa7dd011b1bb2c by changing "isapnp" string to "isa". The code was then modified by commit e49ce14150c64b29a8dd211df785576fa19a9858 but this bug remained. Change the string back to "isapnp". Signed-off-by: Ondrej Zary Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

x86/cpu: Clean up modalias feature matching

2012-02-13T23:24:26Z

We currently include commas on both sides of the feature ID in a modalias, but this prevents the lowest numbered feature of a CPU from being matched. Since all feature IDs have the same length, we do not need to worry about substring matches, so omit commas from the modalias entirely. Avoid generating multiple adjacent wildcards when there is no feature ID to match. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: Thomas Renninger Acked-by: H. Peter Anvin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Add driver auto probing for x86 features v4

2012-01-27T00:44:41Z

There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature or CPU. Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often doesn't work. This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number and also based on CPUID feature bits. For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS which relies on fast CRC. Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU. Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this. It works with existing udev without any changes. The code exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs that can be matched by udev's pattern matching. This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing that would require changing udev. Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match, there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC) But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue. Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers. This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices, which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this. This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions in followups. Thanks to Kay for helping with some sysfs magic. v2: Constifcation, some updates v4: (trenn@suse.de): - Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc to terminate modalias buffer - Use uppercase hex values to match correctly against hex values containing letters Cc: Dave Jones Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Jen Axboe Cc: Herbert Xu Cc: Huang Ying Cc: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger Acked-by: H.

Revert "ARM: sa11x0: Implement autoloading of codec and codec pdata for mcp bus."

2012-01-20T17:38:58Z

This reverts commit 5dd7bf59e0e8563265b3e5b33276099ef628fcc7. Conflicts: scripts/mod/file2alias.c This change is wrong on many levels. First and foremost, it causes a regression. On boot on Assabet, which this patch gives a codec id of 'ucb1x00', it gives: ucb1x00 ID not found: 1005 0x1005 is a valid ID for the UCB1300 device. Secondly, this patch is way over the top in terms of complexity. The only device which has been seen to be connected with this MCP code is the UCB1x00 (UCB1200, UCB1300 etc) devices, and they all use the same driver. Adding a match table, requiring the codec string to match the hardware ID read out of the ID register, etc is completely over the top when we can just read the hardware ID register.
