powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling

2016-01-21T03:10:56+00:00

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.

This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.

Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.

mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

modpost: don't add a trailing wildcard for OF module aliases

2016-01-15T00:00:49+00:00

Commit ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
removed the wildcard at the end of the I2C module aliases because I2C
devices have no IDs so the aliases are just arbitrary device names.

This is also true for OF modaliases since a compatible string is used to
define a specific IP hardware block.  So the modalias should match a
specific compatible string and not attempt to match a compatible string
whose name matches the beginning of another one.

For example, the following driver module:

  $ modinfo cros_ec_keyb | grep alias
  alias:          platform:cros-ec-keyb
  alias:          of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb*

will be tried to be loaded for an alias of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb-v2
but there could be a different driver that supports the device for that
compatible string so it's better to remove the trailing wildcard for OF.

Also, remove the word "always" from the add_wildcard() function comment
since that was carried from the time where a wildcard was always added
at the end of the module alias for all the devices.

Merge tag 'sound-4.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound

2015-11-06T19:04:07+00:00

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.

  Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
  either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
  in addition to the new stuff as usual.

  The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices.  It gained lots
  of new device support, and MIDI functionality.  Also there are updates
  for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
  skylake), too.  But overall, this update should give no big surprise.

  Some highlights are below:

  Core:
   - A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
     so normal user should't be bothered :)
   - Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
   - Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks

  Firewire:
   - Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
   - Support AMDTP variants
   - New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
   - Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
   - Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices

  HD-Audio:
   - Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
   - Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
   - A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
   - Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
   - Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
   - Intel Lewisburg controller support

  ASoC:
   - Updates to the topology userspace interface
   - Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
   - More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
   - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
     Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
     S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier

  USB-Audio:
   - A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
   - Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device

  Misc:
   - A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
   - Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards"

ALSA: hda - Add hduadio support to DEVTABLE

2015-10-20T08:14:42+00:00

For generating modalias entries automatically, move the definition of
struct hda_device_id to linux/mod_devicetable.h and add the handling
of this record in file2alias helper.  The new modalias is represented
with combination of vendor id, device id, and api version as
"hdaudio:vNrNaN".

This patch itself doesn't convert the existing modaliases.  Since they
were added manually, this patch won't give any regression by itself at
this point.

[Modified the modalias format to adapt the api_version field, and drop
 invalid ANY_ID definition by tiwai]

modpost: Add flag -E for making section mismatches fatal

2015-10-06T00:16:21+00:00

The section mismatch warning can be easy to miss during the kernel build
process. Allow it to be marked as fatal to be easily caught and prevent
bugs from slipping in.

Setting CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y causes these warnings to be
non-fatal, since there are a number of section mismatches when using
allmodconfig on some architectures, and we do not want to break these
builds by default.
