kbuild: do not check for ancient modutils tools

2012-07-25T03:10:58Z

commit 620c231c7a7f48745094727bb612f6321cfc8844 upstream. scripts/depmod.sh checks for the output of '-V' expecting that it has module-init-tools in it. It's a hack to prevent users from using modutils instead of module-init-tools, that only works with 2.4.x kernels. This however prints an annoying warning for kmod tool, that is currently replacing module-init-tools. Rather than putting another check for kmod's version, just remove it since users of 2.4.x kernel are unlikely to upgrade to 3.x, and if they do, let depmod fail in that case because they should know what they are doing.

x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool

2012-05-30T23:44:08Z

commit 6520fe5564acf07ade7b18a1272db1184835c487 upstream. A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'. This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel initialization, these relocation entries can be used to relocate the code properly. In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'. 16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code. Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable data references. They are declared in the linker script of the real-mode code. The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree. [ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently produces bad kernels. ] Signed-off-by: H.

Fix modpost failures in fedora 17

2012-05-11T12:13:58Z

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: Ben Hutchings

modpost: Fix modpost license checking of vmlinux.o

2012-04-13T15:33:49Z

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. ] Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand Signed-off-by: Alessio Igor Bogani Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

recordmcount: Fix handling of elf64 big-endian objects.

2012-01-26T00:13:34Z

commit 2e885057b7f75035f0b85e02f737891482815a81 upstream. In ELF64, the sh_flags field is 64-bits wide. recordmcount was erroneously treating it as a 32-bit wide field. For little endian objects this works because the flags of interest (SHF_EXECINSTR) reside in the lower 32 bits of the word, and you get the same result with either a 32-bit or 64-bit read. Big endian objects on the other hand do not work at all with this error. The fix: Correctly treat sh_flags as 64-bits wide in elf64 objects. The symptom I observed was that my __start_mcount_loc..__stop_mcount_loc was empty even though ftrace function tracing was enabled.

kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix parsing Makefile with variables

2012-01-26T00:13:30Z

commit 364212fddaaa60c5a64f67a0f5624ad996ecc8a0 upstream. Thomas Lange reported that when he did a 'make localmodconfig', his config was missing the brcmsmac driver, even though he had the module loaded. Looking into this, I found the file: drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/Makefile had the following in the Makefile: MODULEPFX := brcmsmac obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC) += $(MODULEPFX).o The way streamline-config.pl works, is parsing all the obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o lines to find that CONFIG_FOO belongs to the module foo.ko. But in this case, the brcmsmac.o was not used, but a variable in its place. By changing streamline-config.pl to remember defined variables in Makefiles and substituting them when they are used in the obj-X lines, allows Thomas (and others) to have their brcmsmac module stay configured when it is loaded and running "make localmodconfig".

kconfig: adapt update-po-config to new UML layout

2011-12-18T21:07:52Z

Commit 5c48b108 ("um: take arch/um/sys-x86 to arch/x86/um") broke the make target update-po-config, as its symlink trick (again) fails. (Previous breakage was fixed with commit bdc69ca4 ("kconfig: change update-po-config to reflect new layout of arch/um").) The new UML layout allows to drop the symlick trick entirely. And if, one day, another architecture supports UML too, that should now work without again breaking this make target. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
