modpost.c: Stop checking __dev* section mismatches

2012-11-30T20:08:42Z

Now that the __dev* sections are not being generated, we don't need to check for them in modpost.c. Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2012-10-12T01:27:27Z

Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek: "The main part of kbuild for v3.7 contains: - Fix for scripts/Makefile.modpost to not choke on a '.ko' substring in the build directory path - Two warning fixes (modpost and main Makefile) - __compiletime_error works also with gcc 4.3 - make tar{gz,bz2,xz}-pkg uses default compression settings instead of saving as many bytes as possible (this should actually be in the misc branch, I don't know why I applied it here)." * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: compiler-gcc4.h: correct verion check for __compiletime_error modpost: Permit .GCC.command.line sections Kbuild: use normal compression settings for tar*-pkg scripts/Makefile.modpost: error in finding modules from .mod files. kbuild: Remove useless warning while appending KCFLAGS

modpost: Permit .GCC.command.line sections

2012-10-11T20:36:15Z

Allow .GCC.command.line sections in modules to prevent modpost warnings: WARNING: sound/usb/snd-usbmidi-lib.o (.GCC.command.line): unexpected non-allocatable section. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example contains section definitions for use in .S files. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Kliegman Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

scripts/modpost: check for bad references in .pci.fixups area

2012-06-16T18:44:30Z

Functions used for PCI fixups (like DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER) are often marked __init. This is okay as long as nobody is using PCI hotplug. However if one does execute | echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan and we hit a module which is marked __init istead of __devinit then we go boom because the code is removed after the kernel booted. This patch help to see those section mismatches. Cc: Michal Marek Cc: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org Cc: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

modpost: use proper kernel style for autogenerated files

2012-05-23T12:58:51Z

If the kernel build process is creating files automatically, the least it can do is create them in a properly formatted manner. Sure, it's a minor issue, but being consistent is nice.

modpost: Stop grab_file() from leaking filedescriptors if fstat() fails

2012-05-23T12:58:49Z

In case the open() call succeeds but the subsequent fstat() call fails, then we'll return without close()'ing the filedescriptor. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

modpost: Fix modpost license checking of vmlinux.o

2012-04-10T03:52:56Z

Commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section. This sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker. Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o (which is not linked yet) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet). These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure. [ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the problem, copied from commit 62a2635610db ("modpost: Fix modpost's license checking V3"). That commit fixed the problem for module object files, but not for vmlinux.o. This patch fixes modpost for vmlinux.o. ] Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand Signed-off-by: Alessio Igor Bogani Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
