extable: add support for relative extables to search and sort routines

2016-02-24T14:57:26+00:00

This adds support to the generic search_extable() and sort_extable() implementations for dealing with exception table entries whose fields contain relative offsets rather than absolute addresses.

module: trim exception table on init free.

2009-06-12T12:17:04+00:00

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n). Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this patch is more general. This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation. Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE, yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib. It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of actually trimming them.

Actual code let compiler generates idiv instruction on x86. Using a right shift is OK here and readable as well.

[PATCH] powerpc: trivial: modify comments to refer to new location of files

2006-02-10T05:53:51+00:00

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree. I think this accomplises everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed. Signed-off-by: Jon Mason Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
