Whitelist references from __dbe_table to .init

2007-07-17T09:15:48Z

This is needed on MIPS where the same mechanism as get_user() is used to intercept bus error exceptions for some hardware probes. Without this patch modpost will throw spurious warnings: LD vmlinux SYSMAP System.map SYSMAP .tmp_System.map MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: arch/mips/sgi-ip22/built-in.o(__dbe_table+0x0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

modpost white list pattern adjustment

2007-07-17T09:10:21Z

gcc puts data into .data.rel or .data.rel.* on some architectures (e.g. ia64) or under certain conditions, so whatever is legal relative to .data should also be legal for those other sections. Fixes a few modpost warnings on ia64. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: do section mismatch check on full vmlinux

2007-07-17T08:54:06Z

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across the .o files. Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed. The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux but for now it is used fo section mismatch only. For a defconfig build this is instant but for an allyesconfig this add two minutes to a full build (that anyways takes ~2 hours). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: whitelist references from variables named _timer to .init.text

2007-07-16T21:25:00Z

arm uses a lot of ops structures named *_timer that has legitimite references to .init.text. So let's add this variable to the list of variables that may reference .init.text without causing any warning. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: remove hardcoded _logo names from modpost

2007-07-16T21:24:55Z

Replaced this with a __init_refok marker in front of fb_find_logo(). I think that the __initdata marker for the logo's are wrong but I have not justified this so I did not remove it. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: remove hardcoded apic_es7000 from modpost

2007-07-16T21:24:51Z

Replace the hardcoded variable name apic_es7000 in modpost with a __initdata_refok marker. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: warn about references from .init.text to .exit.text

2007-07-16T21:24:47Z

The .exit.text section may be discarded either at build or at runtime. So let modpost warn if this situation is detected. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: consolidate section checks

2007-07-16T21:24:13Z

Move more checks from whitelist to the section check functions. Remove the redundent pci_fixup check. Renumber the patterns. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: refactor code in modpost to improve maintainability

2007-07-16T21:21:34Z

There were a great deal of overlap between the two functions that check which sections may reference .init.text and .exit.text. Factor out common check to a separate function and sort entries in the original functions. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
