Currently we generate the module stub for ftrace_caller() at the bottom of apply_relocate_add(). However apply_relocate_add() is potentially called more than once per module, which means we will try to generate the ftrace_caller() stub multiple times. Although the current code deals with that correctly, ie. it only generates a stub the first time, it would be clearer to only try to generate the stub once. Note also on first reading it may appear that we generate a different stub for each section that requires relocation, but that is not the case. The code in stub_for_addr() that searches for an existing stub uses sechdrs[me->arch.stubs_section], ie. the single stub section for this module. A cleaner approach is to only generate the ftrace_caller() stub once, from module_finalize(). Although the original code didn't check to see if the stub was actually generated correctly, it seems prudent to add a check, so do that. And an additional benefit is we can clean the ifdefs up a little. Finally we must propagate the const'ness of some of the pointers passed to module_finalize(), but that is also an improvement.

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is fairly invasive across random architectures. It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is enabled).

Move the few declarations from arch/powerpc/kernel/setup.h into arch/powerpc/include/asm/setup.h. This resolves a sparse warning for arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c which defines do_init_bootmem() but can't include the setup.h header in the prior path. Resolves: arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c:998:13: warning: symbol 'do_init_bootmem' was not declared. Should it be static?

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading a kernel module. According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame. In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call() (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used to generate trampoline code. This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper. Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame using r11 can cause an oops. The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is safe from an EABI perspective. I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

When a module has relocation sections with tens of thousands of entries, counting the distinct/unique entries only (i.e. no duplicates) at load time can take tens of seconds and up to minutes. The sore point is the count_relocs() function which is called as part of the architecture specific module loading processing path: -> load_module() generic -> module_frob_arch_sections() arch specific -> get_plt_size() 32-bit -> get_stubs_size() 64-bit -> count_relocs() Here count_relocs is being called to find out how many distinct targets of R_PPC_REL24 relocations there are, since each distinct target needs a PLT entry or a stub created for it. The previous counting algorithm has O(n^2) complexity. Basically two solutions were proposed on the e-mail list: a hash based approach and a sort based approach. The hash based approach is the fastest (O(n)) but the has it needs additional memory and for certain corner cases it could take lots of memory due to the degeneration of the hash. One such proposal was submitted here: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-June/037641.html The sort based approach is slower (O(n * log n + n)) but if the sorting is done "in place" it doesn't need additional memory. This has O(n + n * log n) complexity with no additional memory requirements. This commit implements the in-place sort option.

This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general. There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several functions. Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which is never used.

This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader. It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it would warn when used in .init.text).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
