      [PATCH] x86-64: Modpost whitelist reference to more symbols (pattern 3) · ee6a8545
      由 Vivek Goyal 提交于 
      o MODPOST generates warning on i386 if kernel is compiled with
  CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__init_begin from .text between 'free_initmem' (at offset 0xc0114fd3) and 'do_test_wp_bit'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0xc012aeae) and 'kernel_text_address'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_einittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0xc012aeb7) and 'kernel_text_address'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'get_symbol_pos' (at offset 0xc0135776) and 'reset_iter'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_einittext from .text between 'get_symbol_pos' (at offset 0xc013577d) and 'reset_iter'

o These symbols (__init_begin, _sinittext, _einittext) belong to init
  section and generally represent a section boundary. These are special
  symbols in the sense that their size is zero and no memory is allocated
  for them in init section. Their addr and value are same. So even if
  we free the init section, it is ok to reference them.

o Whitelist access to such select symbols in MODPOST.

      [PATCH] x86-64: modpost add more symbols to whitelist pattern2 · 118c0ace
      由 Vivek Goyal 提交于 
      o MODPOST generates warning for i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
  and serial console support is enabled.

o Serial console setup function, serial8250_console_setup(), is a non __init
  function and it calls functions which are of type __init().
  (uart_parse_options() and uart_set_options()). Assuming, setup will
  be called during init time, changing serial8250_console_setup() to __init.

o Adding one more pattern to modpost whitelist. Console drivers might
  have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which
  can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'serial8250_console' (at offset 0xc05a33d8) and 'serial8250_reg'

      [PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt intercepts · 139ec7c4
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops.  These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.

The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).

Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

And:

Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.

And:

AK:  Fix warnings in x86-64 alternative.c build

And:

AK: Fix compilation with defconfig

And:

^From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

Some binutlises still like to emit references to __stop_parainstructions and
__start_parainstructions.

And:

      kbuild: fix false section mismatch warnings · 5ecdd0f6
      由 Sam Ravnborg 提交于 
      Darren Jenkins <darrenrjenkins@gmail.com> pointed out a
number of false positives where we referenced variables
from a _driver variable.
Fix it by check for that pattern and ignore it.

Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> pointed out a similar
set of warnings for a number of scsi drivers.
In scsi world they misname their variables *_template or
*_sht so add these to list of variables that may have references
to .init.text with no warning.

Randy.Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> also pointed out a scsi driver
with many references to .exit.text from .rodata. This is compiler
generated references and we already ignore these for .init.text, so
ignore them for .exit.text also.

      [PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost · 7670f023
      由 Sam Ravnborg 提交于 
      Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> reported that modpost would stop with SIGABRT if
used with long filepaths.
The error looked like:
>   Building modules, stage 2.
>   MODPOST
> *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size:
+0x0809f588 ***
> [...]

Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time.

glibc detected bug above.  Based on patch originally submitted by: Jiri

      kbuild: do not warn when unwind sections references .init/.exit sections · 6e10133f
      由 Sam Ravnborg 提交于 
      Andrew Morton reported a number of false positives for ia64 - like these:
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind.init.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .IA_64.unwind.exit.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind after '' (at offset 0x1e8)

They are all false positives - or at least the .c code looks OK.
It is not known why sometimes a section name is appended and sometimes not.

Fix is to accept references from all sections that includes "unwind." in the name.

      kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stage · b39927cf
      由 Sam Ravnborg 提交于 
      Section mismatch is identified as references to .init*
sections from non .init sections. And likewise references
to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections.

.init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized
and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates.
.exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and
thus references to .exit are also oops candidates.

The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which
called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and
reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality
inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted.
They will though be kept for a while so users can do double
checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts
so result is not 1:1.
All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented
the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost.

Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run
for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but
the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.
