In our ARC toolchain the default linker script includes special
sections used for code and data located in special fast memory.
To avoid warnings we add these sections i.e. .cmem* and .fmt_slot*
to white list.

For generating modalias entries automatically, move the definition of
struct hda_device_id to linux/mod_devicetable.h and add the handling
of this record in file2alias helper. The new modalias is represented
with combination of vendor id, device id, and api version as
"hdaudio:vNrNaN".
This patch itself doesn't convert the existing modaliases. Since they
were added manually, this patch won't give any regression by itself at
this point.
[Modified the modalias format to adapt the api_version field, and drop
invalid ANY_ID definition by tiwai]

The section mismatch warning can be easy to miss during the kernel build
process. Allow it to be marked as fatal to be easily caught and prevent
bugs from slipping in.
Setting CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y causes these warnings to be
non-fatal, since there are a number of section mismatches when using
allmodconfig on some architectures, and we do not want to break these
builds by default.

Module symbols have a limited length, but currently the build system
allows the build finishing even if the driver code contains a too long
symbol name, which eventually overflows the modversion_info[] item.
The compiler may catch at compiling *.mod.c like
CC xxx.mod.o
xxx.mod.c:18:16: warning: initializer-string for array of chars is too long
but it's merely a warning.
This patch adds the check of the symbol length in modpost and stops
the build properly.
Currently MODULE_NAME_LEN is defined in modpost.c instead of referring
to the definition in kernel header because including linux/module.h is
messy and we must cover cross-compilation.

The tilegx and tilepro compilers use .coldtext for their unlikely
executed text section name, so an __attribute__((cold)) function
will (when compiled with higher optimization levels) land in
the .coldtext section.
Modify modpost to add .coldtext to the set of OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS
so we don't get warnings about referencing such a section in an
__ex_table block, and then also modify arch/tile/lib/memcpy_user_64.c
so that it uses plain ".coldtext" instead of ".coldtext.memcpy".
The latter naming is a relic of an earlier use of -ffunction-sections,
which we no longer use by default.

Device drivers typically use ACPI _HIDs/_CIDs listed in struct device_driver
acpi_match_table to match devices. However, for generic drivers, we do not
want to list _HID for all supported devices. Also, certain classes of devices
do not have _CID (e.g. SATA, USB). Instead, we can leverage ACPI _CLS,
which specifies PCI-defined class code (i.e. base-class, subclass and
programming interface). This patch adds support for matching ACPI devices using
the _CLS method.
To support loadable module, current design uses _HID or _CID to match device's
modalias. With the new way of matching with _CLS this would requires modification
to the current ACPI modalias key to include _CLS. This patch appends PCI-defined
class-code to the existing ACPI modalias as following.
acpi:<HID>:<CID1>:<CID2>:..:<CIDn>:<bbsspp>:
E.g:
# cat /sys/devices/platform/AMDI0600:00/modalias
acpi:AMDI0600:010601:
where bb is th base-class code, ss is te sub-class code, and pp is the
programming interface code
Since there would not be _HID/_CID in the ACPI matching table of the driver,
this patch adds a field to acpi_device_id to specify the matching _CLS.
static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = {
{ ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) },
{},
};
In this case, the corresponded entry in modules.alias file would be:
alias acpi*:010601:* ahci_platform

UTMI+ Low Pin Interface (ULPI) is a commonly used PHY
interface for USB 2.0. The ULPI specification describes a
standard set of registers which the vendors can extend for
their specific needs. ULPI PHYs provide often functions
such as charger detection and ADP sensing and probing.
There are two major issues that the bus type is meant to
tackle:
Firstly, ULPI registers are accessed from the controller.
The bus provides convenient method for the controller
drivers to share that access with the actual PHY drivers.
Secondly, there are already platforms that assume ULPI PHYs
are runtime detected, such as many Intel Baytrail based
platforms. They do not provide any kind of hardware
description for the ULPI PHYs like separate ACPI device
object that could be used to enumerate a device from.

Currently an allyesconfig build [gcc-4.9.1] can generate the following:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3864): Section mismatch in
reference from the function cpumask_empty.constprop.3() to the
variable .init.data:nmi_ipi_mask
which comes from the cpumask_empty usage in arch/x86/kernel/nmi_selftest.c.
Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is:
static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp)
however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does
constant propagation optimization.
Fix things up so that any locally optimized constprop variants don't warn
when accessing variables that live in the __init sections.

As Guenter pointed out, we were never really calculating the extable entry
size because the pointer arithmetic was simply wrong. We want to check
we're handling the second relocation in __ex_table to infer an entry size,
but we were using (void*) pointers instead of Elf_Rel[a]* ones.
This fixes the problem by moving that check in the caller (since we can
deal with different types of relocations) and add is_second_extable_reloc()
to make the whole thing more readable.

As Guenter pointed out, we want to assert that extable_entry_size has been
discovered and not the other way around. Moreover, this sanity check is
only valid when we're not dealing with the first relocation in __ex_table,
since we have not discovered the extable entry size at that point.
This was leading to a divide-by-zero on some architectures and make the
build fail.

__ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of
addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel
space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to
when handling that fault. This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the
kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example.
If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is
seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from
there or it will not be able to jump to there. As both cases are serious
enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the
developper has to fix the issue.
In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of
authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning
giving more information about it. We do this in case the new section is
executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel. This happened
with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy
instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing
in .altinstr_replacement. Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to
just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases
like this.

Add MIPS Common Device Memory Map (CDMM) support in the form of a bus in
the standard Linux device model. Each device attached via CDMM is
discoverable via an 8-bit type identifier and may contain a number of
blocks of memory mapped registers in the CDMM region. IRQs are expected
to be handled separately.
Due to the per-cpu (per-VPE for MT cores) nature of the CDMM devices,
all the driver callbacks take place from workqueues which are run on the
right CPU for the device in question, so that the driver doesn't need to
be as concerned about which CPU it is running on. Callbacks also exist
for when CPUs are taken offline, so that any per-CPU resources used by
the driver can be disabled so they don't get forcefully migrated. CDMM
devices are created as children of the CPU device they are attached to.
Any existing CDMM configuration by the bootloader will be inherited,
however platforms wishing to enable CDMM should implement the weak
mips_cdmm_phys_base() function (see asm/cdmm.h) so that the bus driver
knows where it should put the CDMM region in the physical address space
if the bootloader hasn't already enabled it.
A mips_cdmm_early_probe() function is also provided to allow early boot
or particularly low level code to set up the CDMM region and probe for a
specific device type, for example early console or KGDB IO drivers for
the EJTAG Fast Debug Channel (FDC) CDMM device.

Similar to ARM, AArch64 is generating $x and $d syms... which isn't
terribly helpful when looking at %pF output and the like. Filter those
out in kallsyms, modpost and when looking at module symbols.
Seems simplest since none of these check EM_ARM anyway, to just add it
to the strchr used, rather than trying to make things overly
complicated.

"Most of this is cleaning up various driver sysfs permissions so we can
re-add the perm check (we unified the module param and sysfs checks,

Param parsing gets documented, and also "--" now forces args to be
handed to init (and ignored by the kernel).
Module NX/RO protections get tightened: we now set them before calling

Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
"More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
(LTO). Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
remove them.
My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should
conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
necessarily in this merge window"

Commit 78551277e4df5: "Input: i8042 - add PNP modaliases" had a bug, where the
second call to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() overrode the first resulting in not all
the modaliases being exposed.
This fixes the problem by including the name of the device_id table in the
__mod_*_device_table alias, allowing us to export several device_id tables
per module.

The x86 CPU feature modalias handling existed before it was reimplemented
generically. This patch aligns the x86 handling so that it
(a) reuses some more code that is now generic;
(b) uses the generic format for the modalias module metadata entry, i.e., it
now uses 'cpu:type:x86,venVVVVfamFFFFmodMMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' instead of
the 'x86cpu:vendor:VVVV:family:FFFF:model:MMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' that was
used before.
