modules: make arch's use default loader hooks

2011-07-24T12:36:04+00:00

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the
architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that
now provided by the recently added default hooks.

[IA64] Convert ia64 to use int-ll64.h

2009-06-17T16:33:49+00:00

It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
unsigned long long on all architectures.  ia64 (in common with several
other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long.  Migrating
piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.

Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long.  This
is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

[Updated by Tony Luck to change efi.h:efi_freemem_callback_t to use
 u64 for start/end rather than unsigned long]

[IA64] fix compile failure with non modular builds

2008-09-10T17:46:32+00:00

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c.  Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline.  To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where
they belong.

lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures

2008-09-09T18:51:15+00:00

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

[IA64] adding parameter check to module_free()

2008-07-17T18:22:01+00:00

    module_free() refers the first parameter before checking.
    But it is called like below(in kernel/kprobes). The first parameter is always NULL.
This happens when many probe points(>1024) are set by kprobes.
I encountered this with using SystemTap. It can set many probes easily.

static int __kprobes collect_one_slot(struct kprobe_insn_page *kip, int idx)
{
...
    if (kip->nused == 0) {
	    hlist_del(&kip->hlist);
	    if (hlist_empty(&kprobe_insn_pages)) {
		...
	    } else {
		    module_free(NULL, kip->insns); //<<< 1st param always NULL
		    kfree(kip);
	    }
	    return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

modules: fold percpu_modcopy into module.c

2008-01-30T22:27:58+00:00

percpu_modcopy() is defined multiple times in arch files. However, the only
user is module.c. Put a static definition into module.c and remove
the definitions from the arch files.

percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic"

2008-01-30T12:32:52+00:00

- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES

- fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.

Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
percpu.h for all arches.

An arch may define:

__per_cpu_offset	Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
			define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).

__my_cpu_offset		Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
			the offset for variables of the currently executing
			processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.

SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset)	If an arch defines it then special handling
			of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
			by s/390.

(Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
so that there are less cases to deal with.)
