modpost: support objects with more than 64k sections

2010-08-03T13:05:56+00:00

This patch makes modpost able to process object files with more than
64k sections. Needed for huge kernel builds (allyesconfig, for example)
with -ffunction-sections. 64k sections handling is covered, for example,
by this document:

The patch below works fine (at least with Debian). It needs your first
patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h. Verified that
aliases for these modules are generated correctly:

drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c
drivers/net/ne.c
drivers/net/3c515.c
drivers/net/smc-ultra.c
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
drivers/scsi/aha152x.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c
drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c

Tested with RTL8019AS (ne), AVA-1505AE (aha152x) and dtc436e (g_NCR5380)
cards - they now work automatically.

Generate pnp:d aliases for isapnp_device_tables. This allows udev to load
these modules automatically.

phylib: Support phy module autoloading

2010-04-02T21:30:39+00:00

We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will
load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good
enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise
the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed arches

2010-01-17T19:00:53+00:00

The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol
prefixes.  It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal
unprefixed symbol.  But then it uses the length of the original symbol to
check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is
looking for.  On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing,
so there is no problem.  On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just
one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways.  But every
once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults.

For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real
symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal
symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name".  The substring will thus return
one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match".  But then "match" will
be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will
exceed the storage.  i.e. the code ends up doing:
	char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0';

USB: handle bcd incrementation in usb modalias generation

2009-12-11T19:55:20+00:00

This patch fixes a bug when incrementing/decrementing on a BCD formatted
integer (i.e. 0x09++ should be 0x10 not 0x0A).  It just adds a function
for incrementing/decrementing BCD integers by converting to decimal,
doing the increment/decrement and then converting back to BCD.

USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation

2009-12-11T19:55:20+00:00

The current code to generate usb modaliases from usb_device_id assumes
that the device's bcdDevice descriptor will actually be in BCD format.
While this should be a sane assumption, some devices don't follow spec
and just use plain old hex.  This causes drivers for these devices to
generate invalid modalias lines which will never actually match for the
hardware.

The following patch adds hex support for bcdDevice in file2alias.c by
detecting when a driver uses a hex formatted bcdDevice_(lo|hi) and
adjusts the output to hex format accordingly.

Drivers for devices which have bcdDevice conforming to BCD will have no
change in modalias output.  Drivers for devices which don't conform
(i.e. ibmcam) should now generate valid modaliases.

EXAMPLE OUTPUT (ibmcam; space added to highlight change)
    Old: usb:v0545p800D d030[10-9] dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
    New: usb:v0545p800D d030a      dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
