<content type='text'>
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.

<title>Modpost: fixed USB alias generation for ranges including 0x9 and 0xA</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1199a29a07b529adedb1623dd2a6e17c33c763f2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 03b56329f9bb5a1cb73d7dc659d529a9a9bf3acc upstream.

Commit afe2dab4f6 ("USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation")
changed the routine that generates alias ranges. Before that change, only
digits 0-9 were supported; the commit tried to fix the case when the range
includes higher values than 0x9.

Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both
0x9 and 0xA, meaning that the final range must look like [x-9A-y] where
x &lt;= 0x9 and y &gt;= 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced.

Modprobe doesn't complain as it sees no difference between no-match and
bad-pattern results of fnmatch().

Fixing this simple bug to fix the aliases.
Also changing the hardcoded beginning of the range to uppercase as all the
other letters are also uppercase in the device version numbers.

Fortunately, this affects only the dvb-usb-dib0700 module, AFAIK.

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.

commit 258f742635360175564e9470eb060ff4d4b984e7 upstream.

Commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols
placing each of them in its own elf section.  This sorting and merging
into the canonical sections are done by the linker.

Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o
(which is not linked yet) and all modules object files (which aren't
linked yet).  These aren't sanitized by the linker yet.  That breaks
modpost that can't detect license properly for modules.

This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure.

[ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the
  problem, copied from commit 62a2635610db ("modpost: Fix modpost's
  license checking V3").  That commit fixed the problem for module
  object files, but not for vmlinux.o.  This patch fixes modpost for
  vmlinux.o. ]

Use of the GPL or a compatible licence doesn't necessarily make the code
any good.  We already consider staging modules to be suspect, and this
should also be true for out-of-tree modules which may receive very
little review.

<title>Staging: hv: file2alias: fix up alias creation logic for hv_vmbus_device_id</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ebf16e38515188b61962ba84b59e898ad64ffff6</id>
<content type='text'>
When I added the driver_data field to hv_vmbus_device_id, I forgot to
take into the account how the alias was created, so it would append the
kernel pointer to the end of the alias, which is not correct.

This changes how the hv_vmbus_device_id alias is created to proper
account for the driver_data field.  As no module yet uses this alias, it
is safe to fix this up at this point in the commit stream.

Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux
