With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
export, but other things matter too:
1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section,
2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.
5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.
So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in
the signature. Now it's general we can add others later on without
confusion.

This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic
printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'.
The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface,
(an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained
control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function,
file, module, format string, and line number.
for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack':
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
to disable them:
echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control
A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the
peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough.
However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across
a family of processors, even products from different companies. This
makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or
simply not straight-forward.
Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear
that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle
slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data').
Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
is defined.
To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id
entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

'make randconfig' uses glibc's rand function, and the seed of
that PRNG is set via:
srand(time(NULL));
But 'time()' only increases once every second - freezing the
randconfig result within a single second.
My Nehalem testbox does randconfig much faster than 1 second
and i have a few scripts that do 'randconfig until condition X'
loops.
Those scripts currently waste a lot of CPU time due to randconfig
changing its seed only once per second currently.
Change the seed to be micrseconds based. (I checked the statistical
spread of the seed - the now.tv_sec*now.tv_usec multiplication
there further improves it.)

Ingo Molnar reported that 'make randconfig' was not covering
choice blocks properly, resulting in certain config options
being left out of randconfig testing altogether.
With the following patch we:
- properly randomize choice value for normal choice blocks
- properly randomize for multi choice blocks
- added several comments to explain what is going on
The root cause of the bug was that SYMBOL_VALID was set on the
symbol representing the choice block so clearing this did
the trick initially.
But testign revealed a few more issues that is now fixed.

Impact: bugfix, output more reliable symbol lookup result
Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols.
But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols
are symbols with the same address), and the first aliased symbol is
sometime not proper.
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# cat trace
......
1) 1.923 us | select_nohz_load_balancer();
1) + 76.692 us | }
1) | default_idle() {
1) ==========> | __irqentry_text_start() {
1) 0.000 us | native_apic_mem_write();
1) | irq_enter() {
1) 0.000 us | idle_cpu();
1) | tick_check_idle() {
1) 0.000 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast();
1) | tick_nohz_stop_idle() {
......
It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()",
actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()".
(these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start"
is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms)
This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second
aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first.
Aliased symbols mostly come from linker script. The solution is
guessing "is this symbol defined in linker script", the symbols
defined in linker script will not become the first aliased symbol.
And if symbols are found to be equal in this "linker script provided"
criteria, symbols are sorted by the number of prefix underscores.

Running 'make rpm' fails when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and using a kernel source
tree under SCM. This is due to KERNELRELEASE being different when the initial make
is run and when make is run from rpmbuild.
mkspec creates kernel.spec using KERNELRELEASE:
<mkspec>
echo "%files"
echo '%defattr (-, root, root)'
echo "%dir /lib/modules"
echo "/lib/modules/$KERNELRELEASE"
echo "/lib/firmware"
echo "/boot/*"
echo ""
</mkspec>
When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y scripts/setlocalversion is called and grabs any
additional version info from SCM. Next, the srctree is tarred up and SCM
information is excluded.
rpmbuild reruns make and in the process generates a new include/config/kernel.release
and thus a new KERNELRELEASE. However this time the SCM information is gone so
KERNELRELEASE no longer has the additional version information. When "make modules_install"
runs, it uses the new KERNELRELEASE value to determine where to install the modules.
This conflicts with where the spec file assumes they are going because of the
mis-matching KERNELRELEASE versions.

Fix kernel-doc processing of SYSCALL wrappers.
The SYSCALL wrapper patches played havoc with kernel-doc for
syscalls. Syscalls that were scanned for DocBook processing
reported warnings like this one, for sys_tgkill:
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'tgkill'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'pid_t'
Warning(kernel/signal.c:2285): No description found for parameter 'int'
because the macro parameters all "look like" function parameters,
although they are not:
/**
* sys_tgkill - send signal to one specific thread
* @tgid: the thread group ID of the thread
* @pid: the PID of the thread
* @sig: signal to be sent
*
* This syscall also checks the @tgid and returns -ESRCH even if the PID
* exists but it's not belonging to the target process anymore. This
* method solves the problem of threads exiting and PIDs getting reused.

Impact: stack protector for x86_32
Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it.
It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes.
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs
to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by
the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu
variable.
x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as
struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the
whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy
back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector
is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely
need something better.

Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs
Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three
separate segments - data.init, percpu and data.init2. data.init2 gets
.data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment. Depending
on configuration both segments might contain no data, in which case
the tool chain makes the section header to contain offset beyond the
end of the file.
