modpost: work around unaligned data access error

2024-12-28T14:31:09Z

With the latest binutils, modpost fails with a bus error on some architectures such as ARM and sparc64. Since binutils commit 1f1b5e506bf0 ("bfd/ELF: restrict file alignment for object files"), the byte offset to each section (sh_offset) in relocatable ELF is no longer guaranteed to be aligned. modpost parses MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() data structures, which are usually located in the .rodata section. If it is not properly aligned, unaligned access errors may occur. To address the issue, this commit imports the get_unaligned() helper from include/linux/unaligned.h. The get_unaligned_native() helper caters to the endianness in addition to handling the unaligned access. I slightly refactored do_pcmcia_entry() and do_input() to avoid writing back to an unaligned address. (We would need the put_unaligned() helper to do that.) The addend_*_rel() functions need similar adjustments because the .text sections are not aligned either. It seems that the .symtab, .rel.* and .rela.* sections are still aligned. Keep normal pointer access for these sections to avoid unnecessary performance costs.

modpost: refactor do_vmbus_entry()

2024-12-28T14:31:03Z

Optimize the size of guid_name[], as it only requires 1 additional byte for '\0' instead of 2. Simplify the loop by incrementing the iterator by 1 instead of 2. Remove the unnecessary TO_NATIVE() call, as the guid is represented as a byte stream. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Tested-by: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz

modpost: fix the missed iteration for the max bit in do_input()

2024-12-28T14:30:56Z

This loop should iterate over the range from 'min' to 'max' inclusively. The last interation is missed. Fixes: 1d8f430c15b3 ("[PATCH] Input: add modalias support") Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Tested-by: John Paul Adrian Glaubitz

modpost: distinguish same module paths from different dump files

2024-12-21T03:42:10Z

Since commit 13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working directory to external module directory with M="), module paths are always relative to the top of the external module tree. The module paths recorded in Module.symvers are no longer globally unique when they are passed via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS for building other external modules, which may result in false-positive "exported twice" errors. Such errors should not occur because external modules should be able to override in-tree modules. To address this, record the dump file path in struct module and check it when searching for a module.

modpost: Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS

2024-12-08T08:11:34Z

The compiler can fully inline the actual handler function of an interrupt entry into the .irqentry.text entry point. If such a function contains an access which has an exception table entry, modpost complains about a section mismatch: WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x447c): Section mismatch in reference ... The relocation at __ex_table+0x447c references section ".irqentry.text" which is not in the list of authorized sections. Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS to cure the issue.

modpost: improve error messages in device_id_check()

2024-11-27T23:46:02Z

The first error message in device_id_check() is obscure and can be misleading because the cause of the error is unlikely to be found in the struct definition in mod_devicetable.h. This type of error occurs when an array is passed to an incorrect type of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(). [Example 1] static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = { { "FOO" }, { /* sentinel */ }, }; MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, foo_ids); Currently, modpost outputs a meaningless suggestion: ERROR: modpost: ...: sizeof(struct of_device_id)=200 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_device_table__of__=64. Fix definition of struct of_device_id in mod_devicetable.h The root cause here is that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) is used instead of the correct MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ...). This commit provides a more intuitive error message: ERROR: modpost: ...: type mismatch between foo_ids[] and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, ...) The second error message, related to a missing terminator, is too verbose. [Example 2] static const struct acpi_device_id foo_ids[] = { { "FOO" }, }; MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, foo_ids); The current error message is overly long, and does not pinpoint the incorrect array: ...: struct acpi_device_id is 32 bytes. The last of 1 is: 0x46 0x4f 0x4f 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 ERROR: modpost: ...: struct acpi_device_id is not terminated with a NULL entry! This commit changes it to a more concise error message, sufficient to identify the incorrect array: ERROR: modpost: ...: foo_ids[] is not terminated with a NULL entry Lastly, this commit squashes device_id_check() into do_table() and changes fatal() into error(), allowing modpost to continue processing other modules.
