      modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed arches · 3a5dd791
      Mike Frysinger 提交于
      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';

      USB: handle bcd incrementation in usb modalias generation · 55f49f26
      Nathaniel McCallum 提交于
      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 generation · afe2dab4
      Nathaniel McCallum 提交于
      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)

      kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw" · b614a697
      Anders Kaseorg 提交于
      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 cygwin · 99e3a1eb
      Cedric Hombourger 提交于
      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()

      module: include other structures in module version check · 8c8ef42a
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      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.

      platform: introduce module id table for platform devices · 57fee4a5
      Eric Miao 提交于
      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().

      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).

      modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard · ac551828
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      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,
