2004-08-22	[PATCH] fix reading string module parameters in sysfs	Arnd Bergmann
	Reading the contents of a module_param_string through sysfs currently oopses because the param_get_charp() function cannot operate on a kparam_string struct. This introduces the required param_get_string. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2004-08-04	MODULE: add byte type of module paramater, like the comments say we support...	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
2004-05-20	[PATCH] trivial: Fix #endif comment in linux_moduleparam.h	Andrew Morton
	From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> From: Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz> If we are providing "helpful" comment, it should better be correct.
2004-05-07	Add modules to sysfs	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	This patch adds basic kobject support to struct module, and it creates a /sys/module directory which contains all of the individual modules. Each module currently exports the refcount (if they are unloadable) and any module paramaters that are marked exportable in sysfs. Was written by me and Rusty over and over many times during the past 6 months.
2004-03-02	Introduce module_param_array_named to allow for module options with	Dmitry Torokhov
	name different form corresponding array variable. Allows using short (but descriptive) option names without hurting code readability. Modeled after module_param_named.
2004-01-19	[PATCH] make gcc 3.4 compilation work	Andrew Morton
	From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com> With gcc-3.4 we need "attribute((used))" declarations to get "make modules_install" to work. Otherwise these sections get dropped from the final image (I assume).
2003-10-01	[PATCH] module parameter array fixes	Andrew Morton
	From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Found this while converting netfilter modules to use the new parameters. Also fixes an out-by-one error in maximum elements you can put in array. The current "intarray" module params were never tested, and um, suck. Only one person uses them, and it looks painful. Since noone uses them, replace them with tested versions.
2003-06-15	[PATCH] Fix over-alignment problem on x86-64	Andi Kleen
	Thanks to Jan Hubicka who suggested this fix. The problem seems to be that gcc generates a 32byte alignment for static objects > 32bytes. This causes gas to set a high alignment on the section, which causes the uneven (not multiple of sizeof(struct kernel_param)) section size. The pointer division with a base not being a multiple of sizeof(*ptr) then causes the invalid result. This just forces a small alignment, which makes the section end come out with the correct alignment. The only mystery left is why ld chose a 16 byte padding instead of 32byte.
2002-12-29	[PATCH] Trivial patch for param.h: make it const.	Richard Henderson
	Add a const declaration to the __module_param_call so __param section gets more correct attributes.
2002-12-14	[PATCH] Module Parameter Core Patch	Rusty Russell
	This patch is a rewrite of the insmod and boot parameter handling, to unify them. The new format is fairly simple: built on top of __module_param_call there are several helpers, eg "module_param(foo, int, 000)". The final argument is the permissions bits, for exposing parameters in sysfs (if non-zero) at a later stage.
