Now where we do not pass vmlinux to modpost we started
to see section mismatch warnings from .pci_fixup.
Refactored code a little to include these in the

In init/main.c we have a reference from rest_init() to .init.text
which is intentional.
Rename the function 'init' to 'kernel_init' to make it a
kernel wide unique symbol and whitelist the reference.

This patch stops "modpost" from issuing erroneous modpost warnings on ARM
builds, which it's been doing since since maybe last summer. A canonical
example would be driver method table entries:
WARNING: <path> - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text:<name>_remove
from .data after '$d' (at offset 0x4)
That "$d" symbol is generated by tools conformant with ARM ABI specs; in
this case it's a symbol **in the middle of** a "<name>_driver" struct.
The erroneous warnings appear to be issued because "modpost" whitelists
references from "<name>_driver" data into init and exit sections ... but
doesn't know should also include those "$d" mapping symbols, which are not
otherwise associated with "<name>_driver" symbols.
This patch prevents the modpost symbol lookup code from ever returning
those mapping symbols, so it will return a whitelisted symbol instead.
Then things work as expected.
Now to revert various code-bloating "fixes" that got merged because of this
modpost bug....

parisc and parisc64 seem to name sections a little differently from other
targets. parisc64 gives spurious warnings like:
WARNING: drivers/net/dummy.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:dummy_setup from .data.rel.ro between '.LC1' (at offset 0x0) and '.LC6'
and parisc gives spurious warnings like:
WARNING: drivers/net/dummy.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:dummy_setup from .rodata.cst4 between '.LC1' (at offset 0x0) and '.LC6'
Given the other comments in modpost.c, it seems that the best solution is
to move rodata down to the 'match at start of name' section and add
.data.rel.ro to the 'match entire name' section.

It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.
The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).
Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
(at least some) EISA-aware modules.
The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
eisa:sTCM5093
and the in-module alias like:
eisa:sTCM5093*
The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
maps are obsolete anyway.
The rationale for this patch is:
a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
support, to unify driver loading
b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
(who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)

At stage 2 modpost utility is used to check modules. In case of unresolved
symbols modpost only prints warning.
IMHO it is a good idea to fail compilation process in case of unresolved
symbols (at least in modules coming with kernel), since usually such errors
are left unnoticed, but kernel modules are broken.
- new option '-w' is added to modpost:
if option is specified, modpost only warns about unresolved symbols
- modpost is called with '-w' for external modules in Makefile.modpost

Add a bus for the adjunct processor interface. Up to 64 devices can
be connect to the ap bus interface, each device with 16 domains. That
makes 1024 message queues. The interface is asynchronous, the answer
to a message sent to a queue needs to be received at some later point
in time. Unfortunately the interface does not provide interrupts when
a message reply is pending. So the ap bus needs to implement some
fancy polling, each active queue is polled once per 1/HZ second or
continuously if an idle cpus exsists and the poll thread is activ
(see poll_thread parameter).
The ap bus uses the sysfs path /sys/bus/ap and has two bus attributes,
ap_domain and config_time. The ap_domain selects one of the 16 domains
to be used for this system. This limits the maximum number of ap devices
to 64. The config_time attribute contains the number of seconds between
two ap bus scans to find new devices.
The ap bus uses the modalias entries of the form "ap:tN" to autoload
the ap driver for hardware type N. Currently known types are:
3 - PCICC, 4 - PCICA, 5 - PCIXCC, 6 - CEX2A and 7 - CEX2C.

There is a small but annoying bug in scripts/mod/file2alias.c which causes
it to generate invalid aliases for input devices on 64 bit archs. This causes
joydev.ko to not be automaticly loaded when inserting a joystick, resulting in
a non working joystick (for the average user).
In scripts/mod/file2alias.c is the following code for generating the input
aliases:
static void do_input(char *alias,
kernel_ulong_t *arr, unsigned int min, unsigned int max)
{
unsigned int i;
for (i = min; i < max; i++)
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
sprintf(alias + strlen(alias), "%X,*", i);
}
On 32 bits systems, this correctly generates "0,*" for the first alias, "8,*"
for the second etc.
However on 64 bits it generates: "0,*20,*" resp "8,*28,*" Notice how it adds 20
+ first entry (hex) ! to the list of hex codes, which is 32 more then the first
entry, thus is because the bit test above wraps at 32 bits instead of 64.
scripts/mod/file2alias.c, line 379 reads:
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1 << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
That should be:
if (arr[i / BITS_PER_LONG] & (1L << (i%BITS_PER_LONG)))
Notice the added 'L' after the 1, otherwise that is an 32 bit int instead of a
64 bit long, and when that int gets shifted >= 32 times, appearantly the number
by which to shift is wrapped at 5 bits ( % 32) causing it to test a bit 32 bits
too low.

Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild,
the build will fail during the modpost step.
When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol
then warn during modpost so author are actually notified.
The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel
to make sure it is in sync.

crc symbols in kernel and modules. The prefix should be replaced by
"MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##__crc_" otherwise there will be warnings when
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is not NULL.
I am sorry my last patch for this issue is actually wrong. I revert
it in this patch.

Warning now looks like this:
WARNING: vmlinux: 'strcpy' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux
Which gives much better hint how to fix it.

When searching for symbols the only check performed was if
offset equals st_value. Adding an additional check to see if st_name
points t a valid name made us sort out a few more false positives and
let us report more correct names in warnings.
