tile-module: Use kmalloc_array() in module_alloc()

2016-12-16T20:32:29+00:00

* A multiplication for the size determination of a memory allocation
  indicated that an array data structure should be processed.
  Thus use the corresponding function "kmalloc_array".

* Replace the specification of a data type by a pointer dereference
  to make the corresponding size determination a bit safer according to
  the Linux coding style convention.

module: remove mod arg from module_free, rename module_memfree().

2015-01-20T01:08:33+00:00

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.

module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.

2015-01-20T01:08:32+00:00

Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific
allocations.  Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code,
let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before
that.

This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement
their own module_free() at all.  avr32 doesn't need module_finalize()
either.

tile: Use the more common pr_warn instead of pr_warning

2014-11-11T20:51:42+00:00

And other message logging neatening.

Other miscellanea:

o coalesce formats
o realign arguments
o standardize a couple of macros
o use __func__ instead of embedding the function name

mm/vmalloc.c: clean up map_vm_area third argument

2014-08-07T01:01:19+00:00

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).

It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days.  The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().

The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.

This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

modules: don't hand 0 to vmalloc.

2012-12-14T02:36:43+00:00

In commit d0a21265dfb5fa8a David Rientjes unified various archs'
module_alloc implementation (including x86) and removed the graduitous
shortcut for size == 0.

Then, in commit de7d2b567d040e3b, Joe Perches added a warning for
zero-length vmallocs, which can happen without kallsyms on modules
with no init sections (eg. zlib_deflate).

Fix this once and for all; the module code has to handle zero length
anyway, so get it right at the caller and remove the now-gratuitous
checks within the arch-specific module_alloc implementations.
