[POWERPC] Support feature fixups in modules

2006-10-25T01:54:13Z

This patch adds support for feature fixups in modules. This involves adding support for R_PPC64_REL64 relocs to the 64 bits module loader. It also modifies modpost.c to ignore the powerpc fixup sections (or it would warn when used in .init.text).

kbuild: fail kernel compilation in case of unresolved module symbols

2006-09-25T07:14:30Z

At stage 2 modpost utility is used to check modules. In case of unresolved symbols modpost only prints warning. IMHO it is a good idea to fail compilation process in case of unresolved symbols (at least in modules coming with kernel), since usually such errors are left unnoticed, but kernel modules are broken. - new option '-w' is added to modpost: if option is specified, modpost only warns about unresolved symbols - modpost is called with '-w' for external modules in Makefile.modpost Signed-off-by: Andrey Mirkin Signed-off-by: Kirill Korotaev Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: warn when a moduled uses a symbol marked UNUSED

2006-07-01T09:44:23Z

We now have infrastructure in place to mark an EXPORTed symbol as unused. So the natural next step is to warn during buildtime when a module uses a symbol marked UNUSED. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
