It needs your first patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h. Verified that aliases for these modules are generated correctly: drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c drivers/net/ne.c drivers/net/3c515.c drivers/net/smc-ultra.c drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c drivers/scsi/aha1542.c drivers/scsi/aha152x.c drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c Tested with RTL8019AS (ne), AVA-1505AE (aha152x) and dtc436e (g_NCR5380) cards - they now work automatically.

2010-01-17modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed archesMike Frysinger1-1/+1
The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol prefixes. It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal unprefixed symbol. But then it uses the length of the original symbol to check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is looking for. On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing, so there is no problem. On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways. But every once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults. For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name". The substring will thus return one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match". But then "match" will be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will exceed the storage. i.e. the code ends up doing: char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0'; Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-12-15module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG optionAlan Jenkins3-10/+10
The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in .tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code. This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c. A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs, showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key" symbol in the kallsyms data).

2009-12-11USB: handle bcd incrementation in usb modalias generationNathaniel McCallum1-2/+47
This patch fixes a bug when incrementing/decrementing on a BCD formatted integer (i.e. 0x09++ should be 0x10 not 0x0A). It just adds a function for incrementing/decrementing BCD integers by converting to decimal, doing the increment/decrement and then converting back to BCD.

2009-12-11USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generationNathaniel McCallum1-12/+36
The current code to generate usb modaliases from usb_device_id assumes that the device's bcdDevice descriptor will actually be in BCD format. While this should be a sane assumption, some devices don't follow spec and just use plain old hex. This causes drivers for these devices to generate invalid modalias lines which will never actually match for the hardware. The following patch adds hex support for bcdDevice in file2alias.c by detecting when a driver uses a hex formatted bcdDevice_(lo|hi) and adjusts the output to hex format accordingly. Drivers for devices which have bcdDevice conforming to BCD will have no change in modalias output. Drivers for devices which don't conform (i.e. ibmcam) should now generate valid modaliases. EXAMPLE OUTPUT (ibmcam; space added to highlight change) Old: usb:v0545p800D d030[10-9] dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* New: usb:v0545p800D d030a dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* Signed-off-by: Nathaniel McCallum <nathaniel@natemccallum.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2009-09-23spi: add support for device table matchingAnton Vorontsov1-0/+13
With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices. Just like we do with I2C drivers. This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is overkill. This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

Jean reported that he saw one warning for each module like the one below: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section. The warning appeared with the improved version of the check of the flags in the sections. That check already ignored sections named ".comment" - but SUSE store additional info in the comment section and has named it in a SUSE specific way. Therefore modpost failed to ignore the section.

When you put .section ".foo" in an assembly file instead of .section "foo", "ax" , one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela(). But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one: WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name. So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section flags.

2009-05-01kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwinCedric Hombourger1-0/+1
While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on the same file. We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers() opening that same file for writing. The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers() is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM. Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference (and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds. Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed after read_markers() Signed-off-by: Cedric Hombourger <chombourger@gmail.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

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().

2008-10-13Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.David Woodhouse1-0/+57
This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx). I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays, and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so it shouldn't matter too much. (Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

2008-10-10Staging: add TAINT_CRAP flag to drivers/staging modulesGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+9
We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/ directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good as they are normally used to. Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell enterprise kernel release. This is the code that actually modifies the modules, adding the flag to any files in the drivers/staging directory.
