MIPS: Migrate exception table users off module.h and onto extable.h

2016-10-04T14:13:57Z

These files were only including module.h for exception table related functions. We've now separated that content out into its own file "extable.h" so now move over to that and avoid all the extra header content in module.h that we don't really need to compile these files. In the case of traps.c we can't dump the module.h include since it is also used to provide "print_modules".

MIPS: module: fix incorrect IS_ERR_VALUE macro usages

2016-05-13T12:02:11Z

IS_ERR_VALUE macro should be used only with unsigned long type. Specifically it works incorrectly with longer types. The patch follows conclusion from discussion on LKML [1][2].

MIPS: Support R_MIPS_PC{16,21,26} rel-style relocs

2016-05-13T12:01:54Z

MIPS32 code uses rel-style relocs, and MIPS32r6 modules may include R_MIPS_PC16, R_MIPS_PC21 & R_MIPS_PC26 relocations. We thus need to support these relocations in order to load MIPS32r6 kernel modules. This patch adds such support, which is similar to the rela-style support in module-rela.c but making use of the implicit addend from the instruction encoding. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Cc: Steven J.

MIPS: module: Make consistent use of pr_*()

2016-05-13T12:01:53Z

The module relocation handling code has inconsistent use of printk() and pr_*() functions. Convert printk() calls to use pr_err() and pr_warn().

MIPS: Bail on unsupported module relocs

2016-04-03T10:32:10Z

When an unsupported reloc is encountered in a module, we currently blindly branch to whatever would be at its entry in the reloc handler function pointer arrays. This may be NULL, or if the unsupported reloc has a type greater than that of the supported reloc with the highest type then we'll dereference some value after the function pointer array & branch to that. The result is at best a kernel oops. Fix this by checking that the reloc type has an entry in the function pointer array (ie. is less than the number of items in the array) and that the handler is non-NULL, returning an error code to fail the module load if no handler is found.

mm: vmalloc: pass additional vm_flags to __vmalloc_node_range()

2015-02-14T05:21:42Z

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory for modules. So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address allocated in module_alloc(). __vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a guard hole after allocated area. Guard hole in shadow memory should be a problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory at address occupied by guard hole. So we could fail to allocate shadow for module_alloc(). Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into __vmalloc_node_range(). Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to __vmalloc_node_range() function.

MIPS: Module: Deal with malformed HI16/LO16 relocation sequences.

2012-08-17T08:57:28Z

In case a series of R_MIPS_HI16 relocations was not followed by an R_MIPS_LO16 relocation we were leaking the hi16 relocation chain. Handle that error and return an error. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
