2010-12-28modpost: Fix address calculation in reloc_location()Olof Johansson
This patch fixes a segfault in modpost that is observed when the gold linker is used to link the input objects. The problem is that reloc_location (modpost.c) is computing the address of the relocation target incorrectly. Here, elf->hdr points to the beginning of the ELF file in memory, sechdr points to the relocation section header, section is the index of the section being relocated, and sechdrs[section].sh_offset would be the offset of that section, relative to the beginning of the ELF file. Adding elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset gives you the address of the beginning of the section, and adding r->r_offset to that gives you the address of the location to be relocated. You do not need to subtract sechdrs[section].sh_addr from that -- the result of this is an address outside the file, and causes the segfault when addend_386_rel tries to dereference it. This bug is not observed when GNU ld is used to link the inputs. The object file ubuntu/omnibook/omnibook.o is the result of an ld -r of several other files. When GNU ld does an ld -r, it sets the vaddr field for each section to 0, but gold lays out the section addresses sequentially instead: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al [ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0 [ 1] .text PROGBITS 00000000 000034 004794 00 AX 0 0 4 [ 2] .data PROGBITS 0000b9d0 0047c8 0009c0 00 WA 0 0 4 [ 3] .bss NOBITS 000162f8 005188 00013c 00 WA 0 0 4 [ 4] .rodata.str1.1 PROGBITS 00004f2d 0052c4 001b1a 01 AMS 0 0 1 [ 5] .init.text PROGBITS 00004794 006dde 0005fa 00 AX 0 0 1 [ 6] .exit.text PROGBITS 00004d8e 0073d8 00018a 00 AX 0 0 1 ... So the bug in the tool remained undiscovered because the section's vaddr always happened to be 0.

It needs your first patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h.

2010-01-17modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed archesMike Frysinger
The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol prefixes. It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal unprefixed symbol. But then it uses the length of the original symbol to check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is looking for. On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing, so there is no problem. On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways. But every once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults. For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name". The substring will thus return one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match". But then "match" will be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will exceed the storage. i.e. the code ends up doing: char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0'; Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in .tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code. This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c. A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs, showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key" symbol in the kallsyms data).

This patch fixes a bug when incrementing/decrementing on a BCD formatted integer (i.e. 0x09++ should be 0x10 not 0x0A).

2009-12-11USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generationNathaniel McCallum
The current code to generate usb modaliases from usb_device_id assumes that the device's bcdDevice descriptor will actually be in BCD format. While this should be a sane assumption, some devices don't follow spec and just use plain old hex. This causes drivers for these devices to generate invalid modalias lines which will never actually match for the hardware. The following patch adds hex support for bcdDevice in file2alias.c by detecting when a driver uses a hex formatted bcdDevice_(lo|hi) and adjusts the output to hex format accordingly. Drivers for devices which have bcdDevice conforming to BCD will have no change in modalias output. Drivers for devices which don't conform (i.e. ibmcam) should now generate valid modaliases. EXAMPLE OUTPUT (ibmcam; space added to highlight change) Old: usb:v0545p800D d030[10-9] dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* New: usb:v0545p800D d030a dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* Signed-off-by: Nathaniel McCallum <nathaniel@natemccallum.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-09-23spi: add support for device table matchingAnton Vorontsov
With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices. Just like we do with I2C drivers. This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is overkill. This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

2009-05-01kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw"Anders Kaseorg
When you put .section ".foo" in an assembly file instead of .section "foo", "ax" , one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela(). But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one: WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name. So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section flags.

2009-05-01kbuild: fix comment in modpost.cSam Ravnborg
There is some confusion on naming of the head section. Correct naming is .head.text. Fix comment so we use correct naming. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2009-05-01kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwinCedric Hombourger
While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on the same file. We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers() opening that same file for writing. The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers() is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM. Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference (and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds. Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed after read_markers() Signed-off-by: Cedric Hombourger <chombourger@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2009-04-27Remove unused support code for refok sections.Tim Abbott
The old refok sections .text.init.refok .data.init.refok .exit.text.refok have been deprecated since commit 312b1485fb509c9bc32eda28ad29537896658cb8. After the other patches in this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up by eliminating all the remaining references to them.

2009-03-31module: include other structures in module version checkRusty Russell
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 <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
