[PATCH] struct seq_operations and struct file_operations constification

2006-12-07T16:39:46+00:00

 - move some file_operations structs into the .rodata section

 - move static strings from policy_types[] array into the .rodata section

 - fix generic seq_operations usages, so that those structs may be defined
   as "const" as well

[PATCH] ndiswrapper: don't set the module->taints flags

2006-10-30T20:08:40+00:00

For ndiswrapper, don't set the module->taints flags, just set the kernel
global tainted flag.  This should allow ndiswrapper to continue to use GPL
symbols.

[PATCH] fix Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic

2006-10-11T18:14:21+00:00

Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues:

* taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags

* per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted
  (with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its
  taint info correctly updated

Some additional changes:

* 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints &
  TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module *
  exporting module taint info via /proc/module:

pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000
evilmod 6784 1 pwc, Live 0xf8bbf000 (PF)

[PATCH] Create kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()

2006-10-03T15:03:41+00:00

Some uses of kallsyms_lookup() do not need to find out the name of a symbol
and its module's name it belongs.  This is specially true in arch specific
code, which needs to unwind the stack to show the back trace during oops
(mips is an example).  In this specific case, we just need to retreive the
function's size and the offset of the active intruction inside it.

Adds a new entry "kallsyms_lookup_size_offset()" This new entry does
exactly the same as kallsyms_lookup() but does not require any buffers to
store any names.

It returns 0 if it fails otherwise 1.
