Make 'headerscheck' stop immediately on an error

2007-05-22T04:47:27+00:00

This should make it stop immediately after printing the _helpful_ error message, rather than continuing to spit out many pages more of 'CHECK include/linux/foo.h' before eventually coming to a halt with something less obvious. Now I get this... CHECK include/linux/smb_fs.h /shiny/git/linux-2.6/usr/include/linux/smb_fs.h requires linux/jiffies.h, which does not exist in exported headers make[2]: *** [/shiny/git/linux-2.6/usr/include/linux/.check.smb_fs.h] Error 1 make[1]: *** [linux] Error 2 make: *** [headers_check] Error 2 Signed-off-by-if-Sam-says-so: David Woodhouse [ Sam had better say so!

This reverts commit f892b7d480eec809a5dfbd6e65742b3f3155e50e, which totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a SIGSEGV in modpost. Cc: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Atsushi Nemoto Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm: fix section mismatch warnings

2007-05-19T07:11:58+00:00

modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/ Shift over to __init_refok and kill the hardcoded function names in modpost. This has the drawback that the functions will always be kept no matter configuration. With previous code the function were placed in init section if configuration allowed it.

init/main: use __init_refok to fix section mismatch

Kill a special case in modpost by introducing the __init_refok marker. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings

2007-05-19T07:11:58+00:00

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention. To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce a marker so relevant function/data can be marked. When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from a function/data marked no warning will be issued. Idea from: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Andrew Morton

kbuild: add "Section mismatch" warning whitelist for powerpc

2007-05-19T07:11:57+00:00

This patch fixes the following class of "Section mismatch" warnings when building powerpc platforms. WARNING: arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:.got2 from prom_entry (offset 0x0) WARNING: arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:mpc8313_rdb_probe from .machine.desc after 'mach_mpc8313_rdb' (at offset 0x4) ....

kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips

2007-05-19T07:11:57+00:00

On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show usefull symbol name. This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend value. This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with apply_relocate() routine in kernel code. Without this patch: MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xf4) and 'try_name' WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap' WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap' With this patch: MODPOST vmlinux WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap' WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap' Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show "set_up_list3s" name.

kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearer

2007-05-19T07:11:57+00:00

Change modpost section mismatch warnings to be less confusing; model them on the binutils linker warnings which we all know how to interpret. Also, fix the wrong ordering of arguments for the final case - fromsec and refsymname were reversed. Signed-off-by: Russell King Acked-by: Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
