commit 8fe9c93e7453e67b8bd09f263ec1bb0783c733fc upstream. GCC 4.8 now generates out-of-line vr save/restore functions when optimizing for size. They are needed for the raid6 altivec support.

Modpost: fixed USB alias generation for ranges including 0x9 and 0xA

2014-02-22T18:32:46Z

commit 03b56329f9bb5a1cb73d7dc659d529a9a9bf3acc upstream. Commit afe2dab4f6 ("USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation") changed the routine that generates alias ranges. Before that change, only digits 0-9 were supported; the commit tried to fix the case when the range includes higher values than 0x9. Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both 0x9 and 0xA, meaning that the final range must look like [x-9A-y] where x <= 0x9 and y >= 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced. Modprobe doesn't complain as it sees no difference between no-match and bad-pattern results of fnmatch(). Fixing this simple bug to fix the aliases. Also changing the hardcoded beginning of the range to uppercase as all the other letters are also uppercase in the device version numbers. Fortunately, this affects only the dvb-usb-dib0700 module, AFAIK. Signed-off-by: Jan Moskyto Matejka Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Fix modpost failures in fedora 17

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

modpost: Fix modpost license checking of vmlinux.o

2012-04-10T03:52:56Z

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

ARM: 7324/1: modpost: Fix section warnings for ARM for many compilers

2012-02-15T11:04:36Z

It turns out that many compilers don't show section warnings on ARM currently because handling for ARM_CALL relocs are missing from modpost.c. Based on commit c2e26114 ([ARM] 3205/1: Handle new EABI relocations when loading kernel modules) it seems that R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_JUMP24 can be handled the same way. Note that at least Debian libc6-dev is missing defines for both R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_JUMP24 in /usr/include/elf.h. So for now we need to define them in modpost.c if not defined.
