2009-03-31module: include other structures in module version checkRusty Russell1-2/+2
With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy export, but other things matter too: 1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section, 2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section, 3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*. 4) 'struct marker' determines __markers. 5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints. So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in the signature. Now it's general we can add others later on without confusion. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron1-1/+1
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-24platform: introduce module id table for platform devicesEric Miao1-0/+12
Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough. However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across a family of processors, even products from different companies. This makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or simply not straight-forward. Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data'). Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() is defined. To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

2009-03-15kconfig: improve seed in randconfigIngo Molnar1-1/+15
'make randconfig' uses glibc's rand function, and the seed of that PRNG is set via: srand(time(NULL)); But 'time()' only increases once every second - freezing the randconfig result within a single second. My Nehalem testbox does randconfig much faster than 1 second and i have a few scripts that do 'randconfig until condition X' loops. Those scripts currently waste a lot of CPU time due to randconfig changing its seed only once per second currently. Change the seed to be micrseconds based. (I checked the statistical spread of the seed - the now.tv_sec*now.tv_usec multiplication there further improves it.)

2009-03-15kconfig: fix randconfig for choice blocksSam Ravnborg1-15/+36
Ingo Molnar reported that 'make randconfig' was not covering choice blocks properly, resulting in certain config options being left out of randconfig testing altogether. With the following patch we: - properly randomize choice value for normal choice blocks - properly randomize for multi choice blocks - added several comments to explain what is going on The root cause of the bug was that SYMBOL_VALID was set on the symbol representing the choice block so clearing this did the trick initially. But testign revealed a few more issues that is now fixed.

2009-03-07kbuild: fix 'make rpm' when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using SCM treeJosh Hunt1-1/+2
Running 'make rpm' fails when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using a kernel source tree under SCM. This is due to KERNELRELEASE being different when the initial make is run and when make is run from rpmbuild. mkspec creates kernel.spec using KERNELRELEASE: <mkspec> echo "%files" echo '%defattr (-, root, root)' echo "%dir /lib/modules" echo "/lib/modules/$KERNELRELEASE" echo "/lib/firmware" echo "/boot/*" echo "" </mkspec> When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y scripts/setlocalversion is called and grabs any additional version info from SCM. Next, the srctree is tarred up and SCM information is excluded. rpmbuild reruns make and in the process generates a new include/config/kernel.release and thus a new KERNELRELEASE. However this time the SCM information is gone so KERNELRELEASE no longer has the additional version information. When "make modules_install" runs, it uses the new KERNELRELEASE value to determine where to install the modules. This conflicts with where the spec file assumes they are going because of the mis-matching KERNELRELEASE versions. <snippet> + INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root + make -j16 modules_install INSTALL crypto/aead.ko INSTALL crypto/cbc.ko INSTALL crypto/chainiv.ko INSTALL crypto/crc32c.ko INSTALL crypto/crypto_algapi.ko INSTALL crypto/crypto_blkcipher.ko INSTALL crypto/crypto_hash.ko INSTALL crypto/cryptomgr.ko INSTALL crypto/ecb.ko INSTALL crypto/eseqiv.ko INSTALL crypto/krng.ko INSTALL crypto/md5.ko INSTALL crypto/pcbc.ko INSTALL crypto/rng.ko INSTALL drivers/block/cciss.ko INSTALL drivers/hid/hid-dummy.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/libiscsi.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.ko INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko INSTALL fs/lockd/lockd.ko INSTALL fs/nfs/nfs.ko INSTALL fs/nfsd/nfsd.ko INSTALL lib/libcrc32c.ko INSTALL net/sunrpc/sunrpc.ko DEPMOD 2.6.29-rc4-tip + cp arch/x86/boot/bzImage /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29-rc4-tip-01479-g5d85422 + cp System.map /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root/boot/System.map-2.6.29-rc4-tip-01479-g5d85422 + cp .config /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root/boot/config-2.6.29-rc4-tip-01479-g5d85422 + cp vmlinux vmlinux.orig + bzip2 -9 vmlinux + mv vmlinux.bz2 /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root/boot/vmlinux-2.6.29-rc4-tip-01479-g5d85422.bz2 + mv vmlinux.orig vmlinux + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress Processing files: kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-2 error: File not found: /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root/lib/modules/2.6.29-rc4-tip-01479-g5d85422 RPM build errors: File not found: /var/tmp/kernel-2.6.29rc4tip01479g5d85422-root/lib/modules/2.6.29-rc4-tip-01479-g5d85422 make[1]: *** [rpm] Error 1 make: *** [rpm] Error 2 </snippet> I have tested this patch on git -tip, Linus' git tree, and the kernel.org tar files, both with and without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y.

Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.
