modpost: fix module autoloading for OF devices with generic compatible property

2016-05-11T09:21:32+00:00

commit acbef7b7662953cec96c243db4009ac561d88989 upstream. Since the wildcard at the end of OF module aliases is gone, autoloading of modules that don't match a device's last (most generic) compatible value fails. For example the CODA960 VPU on i.MX6Q has the SoC specific compatible "fsl,imx6q-vpu" and the generic compatible "cnm,coda960". Since the driver currently only works with knowledge about the SoC specific integration, it doesn't list "cnm,cod960" in the module device table. This results in the device compatible "of:NvpuTCfsl,imx6q-vpuCcnm,coda960" not matching the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu" anymore, whereas before commit 2f632369ab79 ("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") it matched the module alias "of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu*". This patch adds two module aliases for each compatible, one without the wildcard and one with "C*" appended. $ modinfo coda | grep imx6q alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpuC* alias: of:N*T*Cfsl,imx6q-vpu Fixes: 2f632369ab79 ("modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1462203339-15340-1-git-send-email-p.zabel@pengutronix.de Signed-off-by: Philipp Zabel Cc: Javier Martinez Canillas Cc: Brian Norris Cc: Sjoerd Simons Cc: Rusty Russell Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

unbreak allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=...

2016-05-04T21:49:15+00:00

commit 6b87b70c5339f30e3c5b32085e69625906513dc2 upstream. Prior to 3.13 make allmodconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=/dev/null used to be equivalent to make allmodconfig; these days it hardwires MODULES to n. In fact, any KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG that doesn't set MODULES explicitly is treated as if it set it to n. Regression had been introduced by commit cfa98f ("kconfig: do not override symbols already set"); what happens is that conf_read_simple() does sym_calc_value(modules_sym) on exit, which leaves SYMBOL_VALID set and has conf_set_all_new_symbols() skip modules_sym. It's pretty easy to fix - simply move that call of sym_calc_value() into the callers, except for the ones in KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG handling. Objections?

kbuild/mkspec: fix grub2 installkernel issue

2016-04-12T14:33:42+00:00

commit c8b08ca558c0067bc9e15ce3f1e70af260410bb2 upstream. mkspec is copying built kernel to temporrary location /boot/vmlinuz-$KERNELRELEASE-rpm and runs installkernel on it. This however directly leads to grub2 menuentry for this suffixed binary being generated as well during the run of installkernel script. Later in the process the temporary -rpm suffixed files are removed, and therefore we end up with spurious (and non-functional) grub2 menu entries for each installed kernel RPM. Fix that by using a different temporary name (prefixed by '.'), so that the binary is not recognized as an actual kernel binary and no menuentry is created for it.

ld-version: Fix awk regex compile failure

2016-03-13T09:54:42+00:00

The ld-version.sh script fails on some versions of awk with the following error, resulting in build failures for MIPS: awk: scripts/ld-version.sh: line 4: regular expression compile failed (missing '(') This is due to the regular expression ".*)", meant to strip off the beginning of the ld version string up to the close bracket, however brackets have a meaning in regular expressions, so lets escape it so that awk doesn't expect a corresponding open bracket.

scripts: add "prune-kernel" script to clean up old kernel images

2016-02-09T18:09:52+00:00

Long ago, Dave Jones complained about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "I don't use the auto config, because I end up filling up /boot unless I go through and clean them out by hand every time I install a new one (which I do probably a dozen or so times a day). Is there some easy way to prune old builds I'm missing?" To which Bruce replied: "I run this by hand every now and then. I'm probably doing it all wrong" And if he is running it wrong, then so am I - because I've been using this script ever since. It is true that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO easily ends up filling your /boot partition if you don't clean up old versions regularly, and this script helps make that easier. Checked with Bruce to see that it's fine to add this to the kernel scripts. Maybe people will come up with enhancements, but more importantly, this way I won't misplace this script whenever I install a new machine and start doing custom kernels for it.

powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling

2016-01-21T03:10:56+00:00

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against .TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value. This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined. Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2 would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated. mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be loaded due to there being no version found for TOC. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16+ Signed-off-by: Alan Modra Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman
