      powerpc: remove unused variable · 7c6d45e6
      Stephen Rothwell 提交于
      Since powerpc uses -Werror on arch powerpc, the build was broken like
      this:
      
        cc1: warnings being treated as errors
        arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_finalize':

      modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race · 5336377d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
      that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
      possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.
      
      However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
      that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling.  That code was
      doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
      dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
      "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.
      
      Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
      with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
      module loading lock any more.
      
      So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
      from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
      process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
      are now safe.
      
      Future fixups:
       - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
         belongs.
       - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
         (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
         for other reasons.

      powerpc: Remove dead module_find_bug code · b9754568
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Doing some various "make randconfig", I came across an error when
      CONFIG_BUG was not set:
      
      arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_find_bug':
      arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: increment of pointer to unknown structure
      arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type
      arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:112: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
      
      Looking further into this, I found that module_find_bug, defined in
      powerpc arch code, is not called anywhere, so this just removes it.
      
      There is a static module_find_bug in lib/bug.c but that is a separate issue.

      powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtime · 2d1b2027
      Kumar Gala 提交于
      To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
      at runtime.  On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
      the code.  We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
      is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.
      
      We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
      needed.  This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
      for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.
      
      Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it
      as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.
