kbuild: remove pointless strdup() on arguments passed to new_module() in modpost

2009-04-11T06:18:10Z

new_module() itself already calls strdup() on its modname parameter. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

module: include other structures in module version check

2009-03-31T02:35:34Z

With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy export, but other things matter too: 1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section, 2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section, 3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*. 4) 'struct marker' determines __markers. 5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints. So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in the signature. Now it's general we can add others later on without confusion. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

platform: introduce module id table for platform devices

2009-03-24T23:38:24Z

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough. However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across a family of processors, even products from different companies. This makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or simply not straight-forward. Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data'). Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is defined. To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

modpost: NOBITS sections may point beyond the end of the file

2009-02-05T19:25:43Z

Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three separate segments - data.init, percpu and data.init2. data.init2 gets .data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment. Depending on configuration both segments might contain no data, in which case the tool chain makes the section header to contain offset beyond the end of the file. modpost isn't too happy about it and fails build - as reported by Pawel Dziekonski: Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 416 modules FATAL: vmlinux is truncated. sechdrs[i].sh_offset=10354688 > sizeof(*hrd)=64 make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 Teach modpost that NOBITS section may point beyond the end of the file and that .modinfo can't be NOBITS.

kbuild: prevent modpost from looking for a .cmd file for a static library linked into a module

2008-10-29T21:02:10Z

This fixes a compile time warning which occurs whenever a static library is linked into a kernel module. MODPOST tries to look for a "..cmd" file to look for its dependencies, but that file doesn't exist or get generated for static libraries. This patch prevents modpost from looking for a .cmd file when a module is linked with a static library [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Ashutosh Naik Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
