2012-08-17MIPS: Module: Deal with malformed HI16/LO16 relocation sequences.Ralf Baechle
In case a series of R_MIPS_HI16 relocations was not followed by an R_MIPS_LO16 relocation we were leaking the hi16 relocation chain. Handle that error and return an error. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2012-08-17MIPS: Fix race condition in module relocation code.Ralf Baechle
The relocation code was essentially taken from the 2.4 modutils which perform relocation in userspace. In 2.6 relocation of multiple modules may be performed in parallel by the in-kernel loader so the global variable mips_hi16_list won't fly anymore. Fix race by moving it into mod_arch_specific.

2011-10-31mips: remove needless include of module.h from core kernel files.Paul Gortmaker
None of these files are using modular infrastructure, and build tests reveal that none of these files are really relying on any implicit inclusions via. module.h either. So delete them. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

2011-01-13mm: unify module_alloc code for vmallocDavid Rientjes
Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range(). __vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of [VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior. Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove the duplication of code.

2009-08-03MIPS: Fix loading of modules with unresolved weak symbolsGabor Juhos
Loading of modules with unresolved weak symbols fails on MIPS since '88173507e4fc1e7ecd111b0565e8cba0cb7dae6d'. Modules: handle symbols that have a zero value The module subsystem cannot handle symbols that are zero. If symbols are present that have a zero value then the module resolver prints out a message that these symbols are unresolved. We have to use IS_ERR_VALUE() to check that a symbol has been resolved or not. Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos <juhosg@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2008-07-24PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

2005-02-01[PATCH] mips: generic MIPS updatesRalf Bächle
Update the generic MIPS code. Highlights are oprofile for MIPS, initially for the PMC-Sierra RM9000. We're also taking a significantly more aggressive approach to the TLB exception handlers which now are runtime generated and provide an upto 20% speedup on certain micro benchmarks.

2004-06-23[PATCH] MIPS UpdateAndrew Morton
From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> MIPS update: - Further conversion of MIPS kernel configuration to reverse dependencies. - Support for the PMC-Sierra Yosemite evaluation board. - Merge arch/mips/mm-32 and arch/mips/mm-32 into arch/mips/mm. - Partial support for the R8000 now that I finally have clearance for the documentation previously covered by NDA. - Make distclean fixes. - Regenerate default configuration files against latest Kconfig files. - Fix handling of data bus errors in modules. - Make R4000 bug probing more bullet proof. - Rewrite semaphore code folloing the PPC implementation to no longer manipulate 2 32-bit quantities atomically using 64-bit instructions. Occasionally this did cause problems due to struct semaphore not having sufficient alignment. - Make sys_pipe() code bullet proof against gcc 3.5 over-optimization. - Fix possibly exploitable bug in IRIX compatibility statvfs(2). - Make sched_clock() an outline function. - Support for the MIPS 24K and 25K processors. - Make functions static that aren't needed anywhere else. - Factor out some more generic MIPS SMP code. - Factor out common part of the GT-64240 code. - Ocelot C now uses the generic MV-64340 interrupt handler code. - Factor out common board support code - More cleanup and bug fixes for the NEC VR41xx code. - Start cleanup of hazard handling as required for MIPS32/64 V2 processors. - Enforce minimal kmalloc alignment of 8 byte so 64-bit registers can be stored into fields without exceptions. - Speeling and warning fixes.
