2008-02-23kernel-doc: fix function-pointer-parameter parsingRichard Kennedy1-3/+3
When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).

2008-02-13Linux Kernel Markers: create modpost fileMathieu Desnoyers3-1/+177
This adds some new magic in the MODPOST phase for CONFIG_MARKERS. Analogous to the Module.symvers file, the build will now write a Module.markers file when CONFIG_MARKERS=y is set. This file lists the name, defining module, and format string of each marker, separated by \t characters. This simple text file can be used by offline build procedures for instrumentation code, analogous to how System.map and Module.symvers can be useful to have for kernels other than the one you are running right now. The strings are made easy to extract by having the __trace_mark macro define the name and format together in a single array called __mstrtab_* in the __markers_strings section. This is straightforward and reliable as long as the marker structs are always defined by this macro. It is an unreasonable amount of hairy work to extract the string pointers from the __markers section structs, which entails handling a relocation type for every machine under the sun.

2008-02-13kconfig: fix select in combination with defaultRoman Zippel1-13/+21
> The attached .config (with current -git) results in a compile > error since it contains: > > CONFIG_X86=y > # CONFIG_EMBEDDED is not set > CONFIG_SERIO=m > CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y > > Looking at drivers/input/serio/Kconfig I simply don't get how this > can happen. You've hit the rather subtle rules of select vs default. What happened is that SERIO is selected to m, but SERIO_I8042 isn't selected so the default of y is used instead. We already had the problem in the past that select and default don't work well together, so this patch cleans this up and makes the rule hopefully more straightforward. Basically now the value is calculated like this: (value && dependency) || select where the value is the user choice (if available and the symbol is visible) or default. In this case it means SERIO and SERIO_I8042 are both set to y due to their default and if SERIO didn't had the default, then the SERIO_I8042 value would be limited to m due to the dependency. I tested this patch with more 10000 random configs and above case is the only the difference that showed up, so I hope there is nothing that depended on the old more complex and subtle rules.

2008-02-06kallsyms should prefer non weak symbolsPaulo Marques1-3/+34
When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names, kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak symbol. This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last before feeding them to the kernel. This way the kernel runtime isn't changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed. Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too. So, even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this. Mathieu says: I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol corresponding to a specific system call address. Unfortunately, all the unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever non-weak symbol would be expected). Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first symbol that matched. This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is one, which seems to be the expected result.

2008-02-06remove support for un-needed _extratext sectionRobin Getz1-14/+10
When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

2008-01-28kbuild: warn about ld added unique sectionsSam Ravnborg1-2/+40
If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc and assembler then if the assembler code do not add the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot and a number. Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections. It will result in warnings like this: WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains section definitions for use in .S files. All warnings seen with a defconfig build for: x86 (32+64bit) and sparc64 has been fixed (via respective maintainers). arm, powerpc (64 bit), s390 (32 bit), ia64, alpha, sh4 checked - no warnings seen with a defconfig build.

Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG), __cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG) allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual configuration of for example HOTPLUG. This has the effect that all users see much more Section mismatch warnings than before because they were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled. The advantage of this is that when building a piece of code then it is much more likely that the Section mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be felt less random of nature.

2008-01-28kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpostSam Ravnborg2-2/+19
The relocation record sometimes contained an address which was not an exactly match for a symbol. Implment some simple logic such that if there is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained in the relocation record then print the name of this symbol. With this change modpost could find symbol names for the remaining .init.text symbols in my allyesconfig build for x86_64. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-01-28kbuild: fix so modpost can now check any .o fileSam Ravnborg1-1/+2
It is very convinient to say: scripts/mod/modpost mm/built-in.o to check if any section mismatch errors occured in mm/ (as an example). Fix it so this is possible again. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
