Use macros provided by hashtable.h Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
Move array_size.h, hashtable.h, list.h, list_types.h from scripts/kconfig/ to scripts/include/. These headers will be useful for other host programs. Remove scripts/mod/list.h. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
/usr/include/elf.h, which originates from the glibc/musl, defines R_ARM_THM_PC22 instead of R_ARM_THM_CALL. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
Commit f5983dab0ead ("modpost: define more R_ARM_* for old
distributions") added self-definitions for the R_ARM_* macros to fix
build errors on CentOS 7.
RHEL/CentOS 7 were retired at the end of June.
Remove all the R_ARM_* definitions (except for R_ARM_THM_CALL), which
should be available in recent distributions.
glibc and musl added most of R_ARM_* macros in 2013. [1] [2]

There used to be several offenders, but now that for all of them patches were sent and most of them were applied, enable the warning also for builds without W=1.

This reverts commit eb8f689046b8 ("Use separate sections for __dev/
_cpu/__mem code/data").
Check section mismatch to __meminit* only when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.
With this change, the linker script and modpost become simpler, and we
can get rid of the __ref annotations from the memory hotplug code.

Building with W=1 incorrectly emits the following warning:
WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o
This check should apply only to modules.

Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module builds. Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4 GB away from kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it. This simplifies build and aligns with the approach adopted by other architectures. Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev <agordeev@linux.ibm.com>
As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and
'.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation
fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler().
find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL
if a better one is not found.
This fixes the reported segmentation fault.
