[PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost

2006-03-17T15:51:25Z

Jiri Benc reported that modpost would stop with SIGABRT if used with long filepaths. The error looked like: > Building modules, stage 2. > MODPOST > *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size: +0x0809f588 *** > [...] Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time. Before we sometimes ended up allocating too little memory resuting in the glibc detected bug above.

[PATCH] Input: add modalias support

2006-01-05T00:18:09Z

Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes. It uses comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge). The changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias outside __KERNEL__. I chose not to move those definitions to mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile of something else in the kernel. The rest is fairly straightforward.

kbuild: set correct KBUILD_MODNAME when using well known kernel symbols as module names

2005-12-25T23:33:41Z

This patch fixes a problem when we use well known kernel symbols as module names. For example, if module source name is current.c, idle_stack.c or etc., we have a bad KBUILD_MODNAME value. For example, KBUILD_MODNAME will be "get_current()" instead of "current", or "(init_thread_union.stack)" instead of "idle_task". The trick is to define a stringify macro on the commandline - named KBUILD_STR for namespace reasons - and then to stringify the module name. There are a few uses of KBUILD_MODNAME throughout the tree but the usage is for debug and will not be harmed by this change so left untouched for now. While at it KBUILD_BASENAME was changed too. Any spinlock usage in the unix module would have created wrong section names without it. Usage in spinlock.h fixed so it no longer stringify KBUILD_BASENAME. Original patch from Ustyogov Roman - all bugs introduced by me. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: Fix crc-error warning on modules

2005-12-25T20:18:11Z

This is the patch for the following issue: In include/linux/module.h, "__crc_" and "__ksymtab_" are hard coded to be the prefix for some kinds of symbols (CRC symbol and ksymtab section). But in script /mod/modpost.c, MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##"__crc_" is used as the prefix to search CRC symbols. So if an architecture (such as h8300 or Blackfin) defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX as not NULL ("_"), modpost will always warn about "no invalid crc". And it is the same with KSYMTAB_PFX.

Add some basic .gitignore files

2005-10-18T15:26:15Z

This still leaves driver and architecture-specific subdirectories alone, but gets rid of the bulk of the "generic" generated files that we should ignore. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] pcmcia: fix cross-platform issues with pcmcia module aliases

2005-09-26T11:13:58Z
