The kernel module loader used to be much too happy to allow loading of modules for the wrong kernel version by default. For example, if you had MODVERSIONS enabled, but tried to load a module with no version info, it would happily load it and taint the kernel - whether it was likely to actually work or not! Generally, such forced module loading should be considered a really really bad idea, so make it conditional on a new config option (MODULE_FORCE_LOAD), and make it default to off. If somebody really wants to force module loads, that's their problem, but we should not encourage it. Especially as it happened to me by mistake (ie regular unversioned Fedora modules getting loaded) causing lots of strange behavior. Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

__find_symbol() has grown over time: there are now 5 different arrays of symbols it traverses. It also shouldn't print out a warning on some calls (ie. verify_symbol which simply checks for name clashes, and __symbol_put which checks for bugs). 1) Rename to find_symbol: no need for underscores. 2) Use bool and add "warn" parameter to suppress warnings. 3) Make table-driven rather than open coded.

Return value convention of module's init functions is 0/-E. Sometimes, e.g. during forward-porting mistakes happen and buggy module created, where result of comparison "workqueue != NULL" is propagated all the way up to sys_init_module. What happens is that some other module created workqueue in question, our module created it again and module was successfully loaded. Or it could be some other bug. Let's make such mistakes much more visible. In retrospective, such messages would noticeably shorten some of my head-scratching sessions. Note, that dump_stack() is just a way to get attention from user. Sample message: sys_init_module: 'foo'->init suspiciously returned 1, it should follow 0/-E convention sys_init_module: loading module anyway...

Commit c9a3ba55 (module: wait for dependent modules doing init.) didn't quite work because the waiter holds the module lock, meaning that the state of the module it's waiting for cannot change.

RCU style multiple probes support for the Linux Kernel Markers. Common case (one probe) is still fast and does not require dynamic allocation or a supplementary pointer dereference on the fast path. - Move preempt disable from the marker site to the callback. Since we now have an internal callback, move the preempt disable/enable to the callback instead of the marker site. Since the callback change is done asynchronously (passing from a handler that supports arguments to a handler that does not setup the arguments is no arguments are passed), we can safely update it even if it is outside the preempt disable section. - Move probe arm to probe connection. Now, a connected probe is automatically armed. Remove MARK_MAX_FORMAT_LEN, unused. This patch modifies the Linux Kernel Markers API : it removes the probe "arm/disarm" and changes the probe function prototype : it now expects a va_list * instead of a "...". If we want to have more than one probe connected to a marker at a given time (LTTng, or blktrace, ssytemtap) then we need this patch. Without it, connecting a second probe handler to a marker will fail. It allow us, for instance, to do interesting combinations : Do standard tracing with LTTng and, eventually, to compute statistics with SystemTAP, or to have a special trigger on an event that would call a systemtap script which would stop flight recorder tracing.

The struct module taints member is supposed to store per-module taint data. The kernel knows about certain specific external modules that will taint the kernel, such as ndiswrapper.

Based on a suggestion from Andi: In various cases, the unload of a module may leave some bad state around that causes a kernel crash AFTER a module is unloaded; and it's then hard to find which module caused that. This patch tracks the last unloaded module, and prints this as part of the module list in the oops trace. Right now, only the last 1 module is tracked; I expect that this is enough for the vast majority of cases where this information matters; if it turns out that tracking more is important, we can always extend it to that.

It's rather common that an oops/WARN_ON/BUG happens during the load or unload of a module. Unfortunatly, it's not always easy to see directly which module is being loaded/unloaded from the oops itself. Worse, it's not even always possible to ask the bug reporter, since there are so many components (udev etc) that auto-load modules that there's a good chance that even the reporter doesn't know which module this is. This patch extends the existing "show if it's tainting" print code, which is used as part of printing the modules in the oops/BUG/WARN_ON to include a "+" for "being loaded" and a "-" for "being unloaded". As a result this extension, the "taint_flags()" function gets renamed to "module_flags()" (and takes a module struct as argument, not a taint flags int).
