kbuild: soften modpost checks when doing cross builds

2008-03-23T20:38:54Z

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. Acked-by: Michael Buesch Tested-by: Gordon Farquharson Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: stable@kernel.org

USB: handle idVendor of 0x0000

2008-02-01T22:34:46Z

Some crazy devices in the wild have a vendor id of 0x0000. If we try to add a module alias with this id, we just can't do it due to a check in the file2alias.c file. Change the test to verify that both the vendor and product ids are 0x0000 to show a real "blank" module alias. Note, the module-init-tools package also needs to be changed to properly generate the depmod tables. Cc: Janusz Cc: stable Cc: Jon Masters Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Module autoprobing support for virtio drivers.

2007-10-23T05:49:55Z

This adds the logic to convert the virtio ids into module aliases, and includes a modalias entry in sysfs and the env var to make probing work. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

i2c: Kill struct i2c_device_id

2007-10-13T21:56:29Z

I2C devices do not have any form of ID as PCI or USB devices have. No driver uses "MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(i2c, ...)" because it doesn't make sense. So we can get rid of struct i2c_device_id and the associated support code. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare Cc: Greg KH

[SSB]: add Sonics Silicon Backplane bus support

2007-10-10T23:51:36Z

SSB is an SoC bus used in a number of embedded devices. The most well-known of these devices is probably the Linksys WRT54G, but there are others as well. The bus is also used internally on the BCM43xx and BCM44xx devices from Broadcom. This patch also includes support for SSB ID tables in modules, so that SSB drivers can be loaded automatically.

ACPI: autoload modules - Create ACPI alias interface

2007-07-23T17:56:16Z

Modify modpost (file2alias.c) to add acpi*:XYZ0001: alias in modules.alias like: grep acpi /lib/modules/2.6.22-rc4-default/modules.alias alias acpi*:SNY5001:* sony_laptop alias acpi*:SNY6001:* sony_laptop for e.g. the sony_laptop module. This module matches against all ACPI devices with a HID or CID of SNY5001 or SNY6001 Export an uevent and modalias sysfs file containing the string: [MODALIAS=]acpi:PNP0C0C: additional CIDs are concatenated at the end.
