8fc62e5942 kbuild: Do not write to builddir in modules_install
Let depmod.sh create a temporary directory in /tmp instead of writing to
the build directory as root. The mktemp utility should be available on
any recent system (and there is already scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh
relying on it).

bfe5424a8b kbuild: Hack for depmod not handling X.Y versions
depmod from module-init-tools < 3.13 and the busybox depmod check if the
kernel release starts with <num>.<num>.<num>. To support these versions,
we create a symlink with two numbers prepended.

9905ce8ad7 ftrace/recordmcount: Avoid STT_FUNC symbols as base on ARM
While find_secsym_ndx often finds the unamed local STT_SECTION, if a
section has only one function in it, the ARM toolchain generates the
STT_FUNC symbol before the STT_SECTION, and recordmcount finds this
instead.

This is problematic on ARM because in ARM ELFs, "if a [STT_FUNC] symbol
addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the address of the
instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable object, the section
offset with bit zero set)".  This leads to incorrect mcount addresses
being recorded.

Fix this by not using STT_FUNC symbols as the base on ARM.

de7b0b4110 export_report: do collectcfiles work in perl itself
Avoid spawning a shell pipeline doing cat, grep, sed, and do it all
inside perl.  The <*.c> globbing construct works at least as far back
as 5.8.9

Note that this is not just an optimization; the sed command
in the pipeline was unterminated, due to lack of escape on the
end-of-line (\$) in the regex, resulting in this:

    $ perl ../linux-2.6/scripts/export_report.pl  > /dev/null
    sed: -e expression #1, char 5: unterminated `s' command
    sh: .mod.c/: not found

Comments on an earlier patch sought an all-perl implementation.

6845756b29 modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50
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.  See:

f02e8a6596 module: Sort exported symbols
This patch places every exported symbol in its own section
(i.e. "___ksymtab+printk").  Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive
to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section
(i.e. "__ksymtab").

The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols.
To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary
section names.

This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.

07d8b595f3 ftrace/recordmcount: mcount address adjustment
Introduce mcount_adjust{,_32,_64} to the C implementation of
recordmcount analog to $mcount_adjust in the perl script.
The adjustment is added to the address of the relocations
against the mcount symbol. If this adjustment is done by
recordmcount at compile time the ftrace_call_adjust function
can be turned into a nop.

41b402a201 ftrace/recordmcount: Add helper function get_sym_str_and_relp()
The code to get the symbol, string, and relp pointers in the two functions
sift_rel_mcount() and nop_mcount() are identical and also non-trivial.
Moving this duplicate code into a single helper function makes the code
easier to read and more maintainable.

85356f8022 kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount callers
When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into
a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now
if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then
the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just
waste execution time.

dfad3d598c ftrace/recordmcount: Add warning logic to warn on mcount not recorded
There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have
modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling
mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to
either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully.

This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section
that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on
by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely
ignored or added to the whitelist.

ffd618fa39 ftrace/recordmcount: Make ignored mcount calls into nops at compile time
There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because
the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls
in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this
is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount
function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is
unnecessary.

The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time.
A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections
come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they
are created.

Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution.

Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86.

The Linux ftrace subsystem style for comparing is:

Based on a patch by Rabin Vincent.

Fix building with KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1, which currently does not work
because it does not build built-in.o with no dependencies:

  LD      fs/notify/built-in.o

ld: cannot find fs/notify/inotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory

e0a04b11e4 scripts/kallsyms.c: fix potential segfault
Description:
This bug hardly appears during real kernel compiling,
 because the vmlinux symbols table is huge.

But we can still catch it under strict condition , as follows.
   $ echo "c101b97b T do_fork" | ./scripts/kallsyms --all-symbols
   #include <asm/types.h>
   ......
   ......
   .globl kallsyms_token_table
           ALGN
   kallsyms_token_table:
   Segmentation fault (core dumped)
   $

If symbols table is small, all entries in token_profit[0x10000] may
decrease to 0 after several calls of compress_symbols() in optimize_result().
In that case, find_best_token() always return 0 and
best_table[i] is set to "\0\0" and best_table_len[i] is set to 2.

As a result, expand_symbol(best_table[0]="\0\0", best_table_len[0]=2, buf)
in write_src() will run in infinite recursion until stack overflows,
causing segfault.

This patch checks the find_best_token() return value. If all entries in
token_profit[0x10000] become 0 according to return value, it breaks the loop
in optimize_result().
And expand_symbol() works well when best_table_len[i] is 0.
