kernel/module.c: use pr_foo()

2013-11-13T03:09:34+00:00

kernel/module.c uses a mix of printk(KERN_foo and pr_foo().  Convert it
all to pr_foo and make the offered cleanups.

Not sure what to do about the printk(KERN_DEFAULT).  We don't have a
pr_default().

kernel: add support for init_array constructors

2013-10-17T04:35:17+00:00

This adds the .init_array section as yet another section with constructors. This
is needed because gcc could add __gcov_init calls to .init_array or .ctors
section, depending on gcc (and binutils) version .

v2: - reuse mod->ctors for .init_array section for modules, because gcc uses
      .ctors or .init_array, but not both at the same time
v3: - fail to load if that does happen somehow.

module: remove rmmod --wait option.

2013-09-23T06:14:58+00:00

The option to wait for a module reference count to reach zero was in
the initial module implementation, but it was never supported in
modprobe (you had to use rmmod --wait).  After discussion with Lucas,
It has been deprecated (with a 10 second sleep) in kmod for the last
year.

This finally removes it: the flag will evoke a printk warning and a
normal (non-blocking) remove attempt.

module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early

2013-09-03T07:05:47+00:00

DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.

After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to
it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the
child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent
in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory.

This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be
really released in the module removing process (and some error code
paths).

kernel/module.c: use scnprintf() instead of sprintf()

2013-08-20T06:07:46+00:00

For some strings, they are permitted to be larger than PAGE_SIZE, so
need use scnprintf() instead of sprintf(), or it will cause issue.

One case is:

  if a module version is crazy defined (length more than PAGE_SIZE),
  'modinfo' command is still OK (print full contents),
  but for "cat /sys/modules/'modname'/version", will cause issue in kernel.

module: Add NOARG flag for ops with param_set_bool_enable_only() set function

2013-08-20T06:07:43+00:00

The ops that uses param_set_bool_enable_only() as its set function can
easily handle being used without an argument. There's no reason to
fail the loading of the module if it does not have one.
