* modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed archesMike Frysinger2010-01-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* | module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG optionAlan Jenkins2009-12-153-10/+10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* USB: handle bcd incrementation in usb modalias generationNathaniel McCallum2009-12-111-2/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a bug when incrementing/decrementing on a BCD formatted integer (i.e. 0x09++ should be 0x10 not 0x0A). It just adds a function for incrementing/decrementing BCD integers by converting to decimal, doing the increment/decrement and then converting back to BCD.

* USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generationNathaniel McCallum2009-12-111-12/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* spi: add support for device table matchingAnton Vorontsov2009-09-231-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

The warning appeared with the improved version of the check of the flags in the sections. That check already ignored sections named ".comment" - but SUSE store additional info in the comment section and has named it in a SUSE specific way. Therefore modpost failed to ignore the section. The fix is to extend the pattern so we ignore all sections that start with the name ".comment.".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwinCedric Hombourger2009-05-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry" (commit d35cb360c29956510b2fe1a953bd4968536f7216) Especially : - add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); + if (!mod->skip) + add_marker(mod, marker, fmt); } return; fail: Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.

* | Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.David Woodhouse2008-10-131-0/+57
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx). I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays, and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so it shouldn't matter too much. (Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trying to compile the v850 port brings many compile errors, one of them exists since at least kernel 2.6.19. There also seems to be noone willing to bring this port back into a usable state. This patch therefore removes the v850 port. If anyone ever decides to revive the v850 port the code will still be available from older kernels, and it wouldn't be impossible for the port to reenter the kernel if it would become actively maintained again.

The routines are intended for handling out-of-line function call register save/restore so having them as EXPORT_SYMBOL() is counter productive (we do also need to link the same "library" code into the kernel). Without this patch a powerpc build would error out and fail to build modules with the added register save/restore module. There were two obvious solutions: 1) To link the .o file before the modpost stage 2) To ignore the symbols in modpost Option 1) was ruled out because we do not have any separate linking stage for single file modules. This patch implements option 2 - and do so only for powerpc. The symbols we ignore are all undefined symbols named: _restgpr_*, _savegpr_*, _rest32gpr_*, _save32gpr_* Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcardJean Delvare2008-05-041-9/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not all device types need a wildcard at the end of their module aliases. In particular, for i2c module aliases, the trailing wildcard is not only unneeded, it could also cause the wrong driver to be loaded. As I2C devices have no IDs, i2c module aliases are simple, arbitrary device names. For example: $ /sbin/modinfo lm90 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.25-git18/kernel/drivers/hwmon/lm90.ko author: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> description: LM90/ADM1032 driver license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.25-git18 mod_unload depends: hwmon alias: i2c:lm90* alias: i2c:adm1032* alias: i2c:lm99* alias: i2c:lm86* alias: i2c:max6657* alias: i2c:adt7461* alias: i2c:max6680* $ This would cause trouble if one I2C chip name matches the beginning of another I2C chip name and both chips are supported by different drivers. For example, an i2c device named lm9042 would cause the lm90 driver to be loaded, while it doesn't support that device. This case has yet to be seen in practice, but still, I'd like to fix it now. The cleanest fix is to remove the trailing wildcard from i2c module aliases. Here's a patch doing this. Not all device type aliases need a trailing wildcard, in particular the i2c aliases don't. Don't add a wildcard by default in do_table(), instead let each device type handler add it if needed. I have tested types acpi, dmi, eisa, i2c, ide, ieee1394, input, pci, pcmcia, platform, pnp, scsi, serio, ssb and usb. Other types (ccw, of, vio, parisc, sdio and virtio) are untested.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a new command line option -E to modpost, expecting a symbol file as an argument which is read prior to symbol processing. -E can be supplied multiple times for as many files as is needed. When building kernel modules that depend on other modules not in the main kernel tree, modpost complains about undefined symbols: # make -C /path/to/linux/kernel M=/path/to/my/module ... Building modules, stage 2. .... WARNING: "rt_copy_buf" [/home/rich/osc_etl_rtw/osc_kmod.ko] undefined! ...etc This situation occurs when modpost processes the new module's symbols. When it finds symbols not exported by the mainline kernel, it issues this warning. The patch adds a new command line option -e to modpost which expects a symbol file as an argument. The symbols listed in this file are added to modpost's symbol tables during startup. -e can be supplied as often as required. This patch works together with the second patch. It introduces a new make variable, KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS, which is used when calling modpost. Signed-off-by: Richard Hacker <lerichi@gmx.net> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
