powerpc: Add vr save/restore functions

2014-05-31T04:52:12Z

commit 8fe9c93e7453e67b8bd09f263ec1bb0783c733fc upstream. GCC 4.8 now generates out-of-line vr save/restore functions when optimizing for size. They are needed for the raid6 altivec support.

modpost: fix unwanted VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR expansion

2013-04-29T02:11:42Z

Commit a4b6a77b77ba4f526392612c2365797fab956014 ("module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixes") broke the MODVERSIONS loading of any module using memcmp (e.g. ipv6) on x86_32, as it's defined to __builtin_memcmp which is expanded by VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR. Use __VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR instead which doesn't expand the argument. Reported-by: Tetsuo Handa Reported-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: James Hogan Cc: H.

modpost: add -T option to read module names from file/stdin.

Because there are too many modules in the world. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

modpost: minor cleanup.

2013-04-05T01:18:06Z

We want a strends() function next, so make one and use it appropriately, making new_module() arg const while we're at it. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

module: fix symbol versioning with symbol prefixes

2013-03-20T00:57:26Z

Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the symbol versions. This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the ____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which would no longer work.

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.

Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2013-02-27T20:25:47Z

Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek: - Alias generation in modpost is cross-compile safe. - kernel/timeconst.h is now generated using a bc script instead of perl. - scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now works with an alternative $KCONFIG_CONFIG. - destination-y for exported headers is supported in Kbuild files again. - depmod is called with -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX on architectures that need it. - CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED disables var-tracking - scripts/setlocalversion works with too much translated locales ;) * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kbuild: Fix reading of .config in link-vmlinux.sh kbuild: Unset language specific variables in setlocalversion script Kbuild: Disable var tracking with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED depmod: pass -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX kbuild: Fix destination-y for installed headers scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: source variables from KCONFIG_CONFIG kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling

mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling

2013-01-24T21:48:04Z

Use the target compiler to compute the offsets for the fields of the device_id structures, so that it won't be broken by different alignments between the host and target ABIs. This also fixes missing endian corrections for some modaliases. Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

modpost: Ignore ARC specific non-alloc sections

2013-01-21T06:49:14Z

ARC relocatable object files contain one/more .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* sections (collated by kernel/vmlinux.lds into .arcextmap in final link). This section is used by debuggers to display the extension instructions and need-not be loaded by target (hence !SHF_ALLOC) The final kernel binary only needs .arcextmap entry in modpost's ignore list (section_white_list[]). However when building modules, modpost scans each object file individually, hence tripping on non-aggregated .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* entries as well. Thus need for the 2 entires !
