2007-07-17kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'Tejun Heo1-2/+2
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero. This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly. * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro is fixed. * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together, MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the trailing '\0'. Fix it.

2007-07-17kallsyms: remove usage of memmem and _GNU_SOURCE from scripts/kallsyms.cPaulo Marques1-4/+13
The only in-kernel user of "memmem" is scripts/kallsyms.c and it only uses it to find tokens that are 2 bytes in size. It is trivial to replace it with a simple function that finds 2-byte tokens. This should help users from systems that don't have the memmem GNU extension available. Signed-off-by: Paulo Marques <pmarques@grupopie.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Fix kallsyms on avr32 after relocatable kernel ↵Vivek Goyal1-2/+6
changes o On some platforms like avr32, section init comes before .text and not necessarily a symbol's relative position w.r.t _text is positive. In such cases assembler detects the overflow and emits warning. This patch fixes it.

2006-12-07[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbolsEric W. Biederman1-3/+17
Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported from their object files. Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't define it otherwise linker will fail. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2005-09-07[PATCH] kallsyms: change compression algorithmPaulo Marques1-329/+95
This patch changes the way the compression algorithm works. The base algorithm is similiar to the previous but we force the compressed token size to 2. Having a fixed size compressed token allows for a lot of optimizations, and that in turn allows this code to run over *all* the symbols faster than it did before over just a subset. Having it work over all the symbols will make it behave better when symbols change positions between passes, and the "inconsistent kallsyms" messages should become less frequent. In my tests the compression ratio was degraded by about 0.5%, but the results will depend greatly on the number of symbols to compress.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ppc32: platform-specific functions missing from kallsyms.David Woodhouse1-7/+13
The PPC32 kernel puts platform-specific functions into separate sections so that unneeded parts of it can be freed when we've booted and actually worked out what we're running on today. This makes kallsyms ignore those functions, because they're not between _[se]text or _[se]inittext. Rather than teaching kallsyms about the various pmac/chrp/etc sections, this patch adds '_[se]extratext' markers for kallsyms.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+686
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
