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.

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).

Jean reported that he saw one warning for each module like the one below: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section. 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.

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: NCedric Hombourger <chombourger@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NSam 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.

Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three separate segments - data.init, percpu and data.init2. data.init2 gets .data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment.
