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.

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()

Following patch introduce support for setting options
to gcc that has effect for current directory and all
subdirectories.
The typical use case are an architecture or a subsystem that
decide to cover all files with -Werror.
Today alpha, mips and sparc uses -Werror in almost all their
Makefile- with subdir-ccflag-y it is now simpler to do so
as only the top-level directories needs to be covered.
Likewise if we decide to cover a full subsystem such
as net/ with -Werror this is done by adding a single
line to net/Makefile.

When gen_initramfs_list is used to generate make dependencies, it
includes symbolic links, for which make tracks the link target. Any
change to that target will cause an initramfs rebuild, even if the
symlink points to something outside of the initramfs directory.
If the target happens to be /tmp, the rebuild occurs for each kernel
build, since gen_initramfs_list uses mktemp...
Proposed way to fix it is to omit symbolic links from generated
dependencies, but this has a small drawback: changing perm/owner on a
symlink will go unnoticed.

Massimo Maiurana reported (slightly edited):
=====
In latest 2.6.29 "make update-po-config" fails at msguniq invocation
with an "invalid control sequence" error.
The offending string is the following, and it's located in
drivers/staging/panel/Kconfig:72:
"'\e[L' which are specific to the LCD, and a few ANSI codes. The"
looks to me like gettext expects strings in printf format, so in
this case it thinks "\e" is a control sequence but doesn't recognise
it as a valid one.
A valid solution would be to tell kxgettext to automatically
escape this kind of strings in the */config.pot he produces, so that
msguniq would not complain.
=====
This patch implements the suggested escaping.

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.

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

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().

'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.)

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.

Impact: bugfix, output more reliable symbol lookup result
Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols.
But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols
are symbols with the same address), and the first aliased symbol is
sometime not proper.
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# cat trace
......
1) 1.923 us | select_nohz_load_balancer();
1) + 76.692 us | }
1) | default_idle() {
1) ==========> | __irqentry_text_start() {
1) 0.000 us | native_apic_mem_write();
1) | irq_enter() {
1) 0.000 us | idle_cpu();
1) | tick_check_idle() {
1) 0.000 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast();
1) | tick_nohz_stop_idle() {
......
It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()",
actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()".
(these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start"
is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms)
This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second
aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first.
Aliased symbols mostly come from linker script. The solution is
guessing "is this symbol defined in linker script", the symbols
defined in linker script will not become the first aliased symbol.
And if symbols are found to be equal in this "linker script provided"
criteria, symbols are sorted by the number of prefix underscores.

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.

Fix kernel-doc processing of SYSCALL wrappers.
The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for
syscalls. Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing
reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill:
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'
because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:
/**
* sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread
* @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
* @pid: the PID of the thread
* @sig: signal to be sent
*
* This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
* exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
* method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.

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.

Impact: fix failure of dynamic function tracer selftest
In a course of development, a developer does several makes on their
kernel. Sometimes, the make might do something abnormal. In the
case of running the recordmcount.pl script on an object twice,
the script will duplicate all the calls to mcount in the __mcount_loc
section.
On boot up, the dynamic function tracer is careful when it modifies
code, and performs several consistency checks. One is to not modify
the call site if it is not what it expects it to be. If a function
call site is listed twice, the first entry will convert the site
to a nop, and the second will fail because it expected to see a
call to mcount, but instead it sees a nop. Thus, the function tracer
is disabled.
Eric Sesterhenn reported seeing:
[ 1.055440] ftrace: converting mcount calls to 0f 1f 44 00 00
[ 1.055568] ftrace: allocating 29418 entries in 116 pages
[ 1.061000] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 1.061000] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:441

[ 1.060000] actual: 0f:1f:44:00:00
This warning shows that check_corruption+0x3 already had a nop in
its place (0x0f1f440000). After compiling another kernel the problem
went away.
Later Eric Paris notice the same type of issue. Luckily, he saved
the vmlinux file that caused it. In the file we found a bunch of
duplicate mcount call site records, which lead us to the script.
Perhaps this problem only happens to people named Eric.
This patch changes the script to test if the __mcount_loc already
exists in the object file, and if it does, it will print out
an error message and kill the compile.

I often change single options in .config files. Instead of using
an editor or one of the frontends it's convenient to do this from
the command line. It's also useful to do from automated build scripts
when building different variants from a base config file.
I extracted most of the CONFIG manipulation code from one of my
build scripts into a new shell script scripts/config
The script is not integrated with the normal Kconfig machinery
and doesn't do any checking against Kconfig files, but just manipulates
that text format. This is always done at make time anyways.
I believe this script would be a useful standard addition for scripts/*
Sample usage:
./scripts/config --disable smp
Disable SMP in .config file
./scripts/config --file otherdir/.config --module e1000e
Enable E1000E as module in otherdir/.config
./scripts/config --state smp
y

Dave Jones, in his blog, had some feedback about the bootchart script:
Primarily his complaint was that shorter delays weren't visualized.
The reason for that was that too small delays will have their labels
mixed up in the graph in an unreadable mess.
This patch has a fix for this; for one, it makes the output wider,
so more will fit.
The second part is that smaller delays are now shown with a
much smaller font for the label; while this isn't per se
readable at a 1:1 zoom, at least you can zoom in with most SVG
viewing applications and see what it is you are looking at.

each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on

the error above.
The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.
There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts
As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

memory = agp_allocate_memory(agp_bridge, pg_count, type);

if (memory == NULL)
c055c111: 74 19 je c055c12c <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x30>
/* This function must only be called when current_controller != NULL */
static void agp_insert_into_pool(struct agp_memory * temp)
{
struct agp_memory *prev;
prev = agp_fe.current_controller->pool;
c055c113: a1 ec dc 8f c0 mov 0xc08fdcec,%eax
*c055c118: 8b 40 10 mov 0x10(%eax),%eax <----- faulting instruction
if (prev != NULL) {
c055c11b: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax
c055c11d: 74 05 je c055c124 <agp_allocate_memory_wrap+0x28>
prev->prev = temp;
c055c11f: 89 50 04 mov %edx,0x4(%eax)
temp->next = prev;
c055c122: 89 02 mov %eax,(%edx)
}
agp_fe.current_controller->pool = temp;
c055c124: a1 ec dc 8f c0 mov 0xc08fdcec,%eax
c055c129: 89 50 10 mov %edx,0x10(%eax)
if (memory == NULL)
return NULL;
agp_insert_into_pool(memory);
so in this case, we faulted while dereferencing agp_fe.current_controller
pointer, and we get to see exactly which function and line it affects...
Personally I find this very useful, and I can see value for having this
script in the kernel for more-than-just-me to use.
Caveats:
* It only works for oopses not-in-modules
* It only works nicely for kernels compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
* It's not very fast.

Impact: Bug fix
If bzip2 or lzma fails (for example, if they aren't installed on the
system), we need to propagate the failure out to "make". However,
they were masked by being followed by a semicolon.

Impact: Replaces inflate.c with a wrapper around zlib_inflate; new library code
This is the first part of the bzip2/lzma patch
The bzip patch is based on an idea by Christian Ludwig, includes support for
compressing the kernel with bzip2 or lzma rather than gzip. Both
compressors give smaller sizes than gzip. Lzma's decompresses faster
than bzip2.
It also supports ramdisks and initramfs' compressed using these two
compressors.
The functionality has been successfully used for a couple of years by
the udpcast project
This version applies to "tip" kernel 2.6.28
This part contains:
- changed inflate.c to accomodate rest of patch
- implementation of bzip2 compression (not used at this stage yet)
- implementation of lzma compression (not used at this stage yet)
- Makefile routines to support bzip2 and lzma kernel compression

The new check for asm/types.h and linux/types.h had
a few false positives.
o We cannot let linux/types.h include linux/types.h
o The int-ll64.h and int-ll64.h define the types
and are included by linux/types.h
Handle this by hardcoding the filenames in the headers_check script.

Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch
introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y.
Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64)
kernels I tested with.
The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms-
internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking
stage.
While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to
scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure
here is.

This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from
using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols
to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence
allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at
this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation.
One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed
to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object:
passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to
gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the
fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug
info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just
filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative
filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal
case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

kerneloops.org has been using an improved "decodecode" script,
specifically it has a special marker that shows which line in the assembly
the oops happened at, like this:
20: 83 e0 03 and $0x3,%eax
23: 09 d8 or %ebx,%eax
25: 85 db test %ebx,%ebx
27: 89 02 mov %eax,(%edx)
29: 74 0f je 0x3a
2b:* 3b 73 04 cmp 0x4(%ebx),%esi <-- trapping instruction
2e: 75 05 jne 0x35
30: 89 53 04 mov %edx,0x4(%ebx)
33: eb 07 jmp 0x3c
35: 89 53 08 mov %edx,0x8(%ebx)

This adds an "override" keyword for use in *.symvers / *.symref files.
When a symbol is overridden, the symbol's old definition will be used for
computing checksums instead of the new one, preserving the previous
checksum. (Genksyms will still warn about the change.)
This is meant to allow distributions to hide minor actual as well as fake
ABI changes. (For example, when extra type information becomes available
because additional headers are included, this may change checksums even
though none of the types used have actully changed.)
This approach also allows to get rid of "#ifdef __GENKSYMS__" hacks in the
code, which are currently used in some vendor kernels to work around
checksum changes.

Sometimes it is preferable to avoid changes of exported symbol checksums
(to avoid breaking externally provided modules). When a checksum change
occurs, it can be hard to figure out what caused this change: underlying
types may have changed, or additional type information may simply have
become available at the point where a symbol is exported.
Add a new --reference option to genksyms which allows it to report why
checksums change, based on the type information dumps it creates with the
--dump-types flag. Genksyms will read in such a dump from a previous run,
and report which symbols have changed (and why).
The behavior can be controlled for an entire build as follows: If
KBUILD_SYMTYPES is set, genksyms uses --dump-types to produce *.symtypes
dump files. If any *.symref files exist, those will be used as the
reference to check against. If KBUILD_PRESERVE is set, checksum changes
will fail the build.

as they do not benefit from the make functionality.
Moving the support to a shell script has several benefits:
- The readability of the code has increased a lot
- More people is able to extend the tags support
- We see less changes to the top-level Makefile

Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> (jump to kconfig symbols)
Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> (drop ./ in paths)
Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk> (simplified find algorithms)
This version has a few caveats:
=> It does not support ALLSOURCE_ARCHS
- it is easy to add if it is really used
=> It assumes all archs have moved to arch/$ARCH/include
- until that happens we have a few additional hits in the archs
