<id>urn:sha1:b1205cc72b47765dbfd40ca6c0cfb33da0274008</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1c4a7587d1bbee0fd53b63af60e4244a62775f57 ]

The section mismatch check prints a bogus symbol name on some
architectures.

[test code]

  #include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;

  int __initdata foo;
  int get_foo(void) { return foo; }

If you compile it with GCC for riscv or loongarch, modpost will show an
incorrect symbol name:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -&gt; done (section: .init.data)

To get the correct symbol address, the st_value must be added.

This issue has never been noticed since commit 93684d3b8062 ("kbuild:
include symbol names in section mismatch warnings") presumably because
st_value becomes zero on most architectures when the referenced symbol
is looked up. It is not true for riscv or loongarch, at least.

With this fix, modpost will show the correct symbol name:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -&gt; foo (section: .init.data)

<title>modpost: fix ishtp MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE built on big-endian host</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit ac96a15a0f0c8812a3aaa587b871cd5527f6d736 ]

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(ishtp, ) is built on a host with a different
endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect
MODULE_ALIAS().

For example, see a case where drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.c
is built as a module for x86.

If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("ishtp:{6A19CC4B-D760-4DE3-B14D-F25EBD0FBCD9}");

However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("ishtp:{BD0FBCD9-F25E-B14D-4DE3-D7606A19CC4B}");

This issue has been unnoticed because the x86 kernel is most likely built
natively on an x86 host.

The guid field must not be reversed because guid_t is an array of __u8.

[ Upstream commit 7f54e00e5842663c2cea501bbbdfa572c94348a3 ]

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, ) is built on a host with a different
endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect
MODULE_ALIAS().

For example, see a case where drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.c
is built as a module for ARM little-endian.

If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:ab7a617c-b8e7-4d8f-8301-d09b61036b64*");

However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:646b0361-9bd0-0183-8f4d-e7b87c617aab*");

The same problem also occurs when you enable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
and build it on a little-endian host.

This issue has been unnoticed because the ARM kernel is configured for
little-endian by default, and most likely built on a little-endian host
(cross-build on x86 or native-build on ARM).

The uuid field must not be reversed because uuid_t is an array of __u8.

<title>modpost: Don't let "driver"s reference .exit.*</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f177cd0c15fcc7bdbb68d8d1a3166dead95314c8</id>

Drivers must not reference functions marked with __exit as these likely
are not available when the code is built-in.

There are few creative offenders uncovered for example in ARCH=amd64
allmodconfig builds. So only trigger the section mismatch warning for
W=1 builds.

The dual rule that drivers must not reference .init.* is implemented
since commit 0db252452378 ("modpost: don't allow *driver to reference
.init.*") which however missed that .exit.* should be handled in the
same way.

Thanks to Masahiro Yamada and Arnd Bergmann who gave valuable hints to
find this improvement.

Without this 'else' statement, an "usb" name goes into two handlers:
the first/previous 'if' statement _AND_ the for-loop over 'devtable',
but the latter is useless as it has no 'usb' device_id entry anyway.

Tested with allmodconfig before/after patch; no changes to *.mod.c:

    git checkout v6.6-rc3
    make -j$(nproc) allmodconfig
    make -j$(nproc) olddefconfig

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/before

    # apply patch

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/after

    diff -r /tmp/before/ /tmp/after/
    # no difference

John David Anglin reported parisc has been broken since commit
ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost").

Like ia64, parisc64 uses a function descriptor. The function
references must be prefixed with P%.

Also, symbols prefixed $$ from the library have the symbol type
STT_LOPROC instead of STT_FUNC. They should be handled as functions
too.

.llvm.call-graph-profile section is added by clang when the kernel is
built with profiles (e.g. -fprofile-sample-use= or -fprofile-use=).
Note that .llvm.call-graph-profile intentionally uses REL relocations
to decrease the object size, for more details see
https://reviews.llvm.org/D104080.

The section contains edge information derived from text sections,
so .llvm.call-graph-profile itself doesn't need more analysis as
the text sections have been analyzed.

This change fixes the kernel build with clang and a sample profile
which currently fails with:

"FATAL: modpost: Please add code to calculate addend for this architecture"
