linux/scripts/mod/modpost.c, branch v3.9

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

2013-02-27T20:25:47Z

Pull kbuild changes from Michal Marek: - Alias generation in modpost is cross-compile safe. - kernel/timeconst.h is now generated using a bc script instead of perl. - scripts/link-vmlinux.sh now works with an alternative $KCONFIG_CONFIG. - destination-y for exported headers is supported in Kbuild files again. - depmod is called with -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX on architectures that need it. - CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED disables var-tracking - scripts/setlocalversion works with too much translated locales ;) * 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild: kbuild: Fix reading of .config in link-vmlinux.sh kbuild: Unset language specific variables in setlocalversion script Kbuild: Disable var tracking with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED depmod: pass -P $CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX kbuild: Fix destination-y for installed headers scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: source variables from KCONFIG_CONFIG kernel: Replace timeconst.pl with a bc script mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling

mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling

2013-01-24T21:48:04Z

Use the target compiler to compute the offsets for the fields of the device_id structures, so that it won't be broken by different alignments between the host and target ABIs. This also fixes missing endian corrections for some modaliases. Signed-off-by: Andreas Schwab Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

modpost: Ignore ARC specific non-alloc sections

2013-01-21T06:49:14Z

ARC relocatable object files contain one/more .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* sections (collated by kernel/vmlinux.lds into .arcextmap in final link). This section is used by debuggers to display the extension instructions and need-not be loaded by target (hence !SHF_ALLOC) The final kernel binary only needs .arcextmap entry in modpost's ignore list (section_white_list[]). However when building modules, modpost scans each object file individually, hence tripping on non-aggregated .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* entries as well. Thus need for the 2 entires !

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

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

modpost: fix modpost warnings for xtensa

2012-10-03T22:11:30Z

Suppress warnings for two informational sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel

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
