Some of modpost's warnings are fatal, and some are not. Adopt the compiler distinction between errors and warnings by calling merror() for fatal diagnostics and warn() for non-fatal ones. merror() was used as replacemtn for error() to avoid clash with glibc Signed-off-by: NMatthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: NSam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

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. And: Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT. And: AK: Fix warnings in x86-64 alternative.c build And: AK: Fix compilation with defconfig And: ^From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Some binutlises still like to emit references to __stop_parainstructions and __start_parainstructions.

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 ;) [akpm@osdl.org: fix the kbuild bit] Signed-off-by: NMichael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Acked-the-net-bits-by: NJeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Acked-the-tulip-bit-by: NValerie Henson <val_henson@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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 Signed-off-by: NAndrey Mirkin <amirkin@sw.ru> Signed-off-by: NKirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NSam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

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.
