2011-05-19modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50Anders Kaseorg1-19/+8
Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools. Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are stored.

2010-08-03modpost: support objects with more than 64k sectionsDenys Vlasenko1-0/+43
This patch makes modpost able to process object files with more than 64k sections. Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example) with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example, by this document: "IA-64 gABI Proposal 74: Section Indexes" http://www.codesourcery.com/public/cxx-abi/abi/prop-74-sindex.html Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu> Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2008-03-23kbuild: soften modpost checks when doing cross buildsSam Ravnborg1-0/+1
The module alias support in the kernel have a consistency check where it is checked that the size of a structure in the kernel and on the build host are the same. For cross builds this check does not make sense so detect when we do cross builds and silently skip the check in these situations. This fixes a build bug for a wireless driver when cross building for arm.

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers1-0/+3
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

2008-01-28kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpostSam Ravnborg1-0/+2
The relocation record sometimes contained an address which was not an exactly match for a symbol. Implment some simple logic such that if there is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained in the relocation record then print the name of this symbol. With this change modpost could find symbol names for the remaining .init.text symbols in my allyesconfig build for x86_64. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

On i386 and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show usefull symbol name. This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend value.

This reverts commit f892b7d480eec809a5dfbd6e65742b3f3155e50e, which totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a SIGSEGV in modpost.

2007-05-02kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpostMatthew Wilcox1-0/+1
Some of modpost's warnings are fatal, and some are not. Adopt the compiler distinction between errors and warnings by calling merror() for fatal diagnostics and warn() for non-fatal ones. merror() was used as replacemtn for error() to avoid clash with glibc Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2006-07-01kbuild: warn when a moduled uses a symbol marked UNUSEDSam Ravnborg1-0/+2

2006-06-09kbuild: check license compatibility when building modulesSam Ravnborg1-0/+1
Modules that uses GPL symbols can no longer be build with kbuild, the build will fail during the modpost step. When a GPL-incompatible module uses a EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE symbol then warn during modpost so author are actually notified. The actual license compatibility check is shared with the kernel to make sure it is in sync.

2006-05-21[PATCH] kbuild: check SHT_REL sectionsAtsushi Nemoto1-0/+2
I found that modpost can not detect section mismatch on mips and i386. On mips64, the modpost (with r_info layout fix) can detect it. The current modpst only checks SHT_RELA section but I suppose SHT_REL section should be checked also. This patch does not contain r_info layout fix. I'll post an updated r_info layout fix on next mail. Check SHT_REL sections as like as SHT_RELA sections to detect section mismatch.

2006-02-19kbuild: check for section mismatch during modpost stageSam Ravnborg1-0/+10
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.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+107
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
