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.

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>

I found that modpost can not detect section mismatch on mips and i386. On mips64, the modpost (with r_info layout fix) can detect it. The current modpst only checks SHT_RELA section but I suppose SHT_REL section should be checked also. This patch does not contain r_info layout fix. I'll post an updated r_info layout fix on next mail. Check SHT_REL sections as like as SHT_RELA sections to detect section mismatch.

Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> pointed out a similar set of warnings for a number of scsi drivers. In scsi world they misname their variables *_template or *_sht so add these to list of variables that may have references to .init.text with no warning. Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> also pointed out a scsi driver with many references to .exit.text from .rodata.
