[PATCH] kbuild: fixdep segfault on pathological string-o-death

2007-06-11T18:37:11+00:00

build scripts: fixdep blows segfault on string CONFIG_MODULE seen

The string "CONFIG_MODULE" appearing anywhere in a source file causes
fixdep to segfault.  This string appeared in the wild in the current
mISDN sources (I think they meant CONFIG_MODULES).  But it shouldn't
segfault (esp as CONFIG_MODULE appeared in a quoted string).

kbuild: fix dependency generation

2007-04-13T20:47:01+00:00

Commit 2e3646e51b2d6415549b310655df63e7e0d7a080 changed the way
the split config tree is built, but failed to also adjust fixdep
accordingly - if changing a config option from or to m, files
referencing the respective CONFIG_..._MODULE (but not the
corresponding CONFIG_...) didn't get rebuilt.

The problem is that trisate symbol are represent with three
different symbols:
SYMBOL=n => no symbol defined
SYMBOL=y => CONFIG_SYMBOL defined to '1'
SYMBOL=m => CONFIG_SYMBOL_MODULE defined to '1'

But conf_split_config do not distingush between the =y and =m case,
so only the =y case is honoured.
This is fixed in fixdep so when a CONFIG symbol with
_MODULE is found we skip that part and only look
for the CONFIG_SYMBOL version.

[PATCH] translate dashes in filenames for headers install

2007-01-31T00:01:35+00:00

The current filename->define translation does not scrub dashes so when
creating stub defines for like asm-x86_64/ptrace-abi.h, we get: #define
__ASM_STUB_PTRACE-ABI_H

gcc just hates that sort of thing :)

trivial attached patch adds - to the tr list to scrub it to _

[PATCH] x86-64: Modpost whitelist reference to more symbols (pattern 3)

2007-01-11T00:52:44+00:00

o MODPOST generates warning on i386 if kernel is compiled with
  CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__init_begin from .text between 'free_initmem' (at offset 0xc0114fd3) and 'do_test_wp_bit'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0xc012aeae) and 'kernel_text_address'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_einittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0xc012aeb7) and 'kernel_text_address'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'get_symbol_pos' (at offset 0xc0135776) and 'reset_iter'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_einittext from .text between 'get_symbol_pos' (at offset 0xc013577d) and 'reset_iter'

o These symbols (__init_begin, _sinittext, _einittext) belong to init
  section and generally represent a section boundary. These are special
  symbols in the sense that their size is zero and no memory is allocated
  for them in init section. Their addr and value are same. So even if
  we free the init section, it is ok to reference them.

o Whitelist access to such select symbols in MODPOST.

[PATCH] x86-64: modpost add more symbols to whitelist pattern2

2007-01-11T00:52:44+00:00

o MODPOST generates warning for i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
  and serial console support is enabled.

o Serial console setup function, serial8250_console_setup(), is a non __init
  function and it calls functions which are of type __init().
  (uart_parse_options() and uart_set_options()). Assuming, setup will
  be called during init time, changing serial8250_console_setup() to __init.

o Adding one more pattern to modpost whitelist. Console drivers might
  have *_console structures containing references to setup functions which
  can be of __init type. Don't generate warnings for those.

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .data between 'serial8250_console' (at offset 0xc05a33d8) and 'serial8250_reg'

[PATCH] kernel-doc: allow unnamed structs/unions

2006-12-22T16:55:50+00:00

Make kernel-doc support unnamed (anonymous) structs and unions.  There is
one (union) in include/linux/skbuff.h (inside struct sk_buff) that is
currently generating a kernel-doc warning, so this fixes that warning.
