2011-05-26ftrace/recordmcount: Avoid STT_FUNC symbols as base on ARMRabin Vincent1-0/+8
While find_secsym_ndx often finds the unamed local STT_SECTION, if a section has only one function in it, the ARM toolchain generates the STT_FUNC symbol before the STT_SECTION, and recordmcount finds this instead. This is problematic on ARM because in ARM ELFs, "if a [STT_FUNC] symbol addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the address of the instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable object, the section offset with bit zero set)". This leads to incorrect mcount addresses being recorded. Fix this by not using STT_FUNC symbols as the base on ARM.

2011-05-19modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50Anders Kaseorg2-29/+14
Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools. Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are stored.

2011-05-19module: Sort exported symbolsAlessio Igor Bogani1-0/+11
This patch places every exported symbol in its own section (i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section (i.e. "__ksymtab"). The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols. To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary section names.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Add warning logic to warn on mcount not recordedSteven Rostedt2-13/+41
There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully. This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely ignored or added to the whitelist.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Make ignored mcount calls into nops at compile timeSteven Rostedt2-6/+116
There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is unnecessary. The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time. A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they are created. Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86. Cc: "H.

2011-05-16kbuild: make KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1 handle empty built-in.oMichal Marek1-0/+2
Based on a patch by Rabin Vincent. Fix building with KBUILD_NOCMDDEP=1, which currently does not work because it does not build built-in.o with no dependencies: LD fs/notify/built-in.o ld: cannot find fs/notify/dnotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find fs/notify/inotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory ld: cannot find fs/notify/fanotify/built-in.o: No such file or directory Reported-and-tested-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>
2011-05-12scripts/kallsyms.c: fix potential segfaultXiaochen Wang1-0/+2
Description: This bug hardly appears during real kernel compiling, because the vmlinux symbols table is huge. But we can still catch it under strict condition , as follows. $ echo "c101b97b T do_fork" | ./scripts/kallsyms --all-symbols #include <asm/types.h> ...... ...... .globl kallsyms_token_table ALGN kallsyms_token_table: Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ If symbols table is small, all entries in token_profit[0x10000] may decrease to 0 after several calls of compress_symbols() in optimize_result(). In that case, find_best_token() always return 0 and best_table[i] is set to "\0\0" and best_table_len[i] is set to 2. As a result, expand_symbol(best_table[0]="\0\0", best_table_len[0]=2, buf) in write_src() will run in infinite recursion until stack overflows, causing segfault. This patch checks the find_best_token() return value. If all entries in token_profit[0x10000] become 0 according to return value, it breaks the loop in optimize_result(). And expand_symbol() works well when best_table_len[i] is 0.

2011-05-12scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Convert to a /bin/sh scriptJamey Sharp1-7/+7
Replace bashisms with POSIX-compatible shell scripting. Notably, de-duplicate '/' using a sed command from elsewhere in the same script rather than "${name//\/\///}".

2011-05-10bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driverRafał Miłecki1-0/+22
Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

2011-05-03kbuild: Fix passing -Wno-* options to gcc 4.4+Michal Marek1-0/+5
Starting with 4.4, gcc will happily accept -Wno-<anything> in the cc-option test and complain later when compiling a file that has some other warning. This rather unexpected behavior is intentional as per http://gcc.gnu.org/PR28322, so work around it by testing for support of the opposite option (without the no-). Introduce a new Makefile function cc-disable-warning that does this and update two uses of cc-option in the toplevel Makefile.

2011-05-03kbuild: move scripts/basic/docproc.c to scripts/docproc.cPeter Foley5-6/+7
Move docproc from scripts/basic to scripts so it is only built for *doc targets instead of every time the kernel is built.
