[PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost

2006-03-17T15:51:25Z

Jiri Benc reported that modpost would stop with SIGABRT if used with long filepaths. The error looked like: > Building modules, stage 2. > MODPOST > *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size: +0x0809f588 *** > [...] Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time. Before we sometimes ended up allocating too little memory resuting in the glibc detected bug above.

kbuild: Fix bug in crc symbol generating of kernel and modules

2006-03-08T17:33:16Z

The scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c uses hardcoded "__crc_" prefix for crc symbols in kernel and modules. The prefix should be replaced by "MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##__crc_" otherwise there will be warnings when MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is not NULL. I am sorry my last patch for this issue is actually wrong. I revert it in this patch. Signed-off-by: Luke Yang Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] s390: fix match in ccw modalias

2006-03-07T02:40:45Z

Fix matching of devmodel in modaliases. It breaks automatic loading of any dasd module. Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Acked-by: Cornelia Huck Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kbuild: when warning symbols exported twice now tell user this is the problem

2006-03-05T12:48:58Z

Warning now looks like this: WARNING: vmlinux: 'strcpy' exported twice. Previous export was in vmlinux Which gives much better hint how to fix it. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: in the section mismatch check try harder to find symbols

2006-03-05T11:02:46Z

When searching for symbols the only check performed was if offset equals st_value. Adding an additional check to see if st_name points t a valid name made us sort out a few more false positives and let us report more correct names in warnings. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: fix section mismatch check for unwind on IA64

kbuild: kill false positives from section mismatch warnings for powerpc

2006-03-04T23:16:26Z

Building an allmodconfig kernel for ppc64 revealed a number of false positives - originally reported by Andrew Morton. This patch removes most if not all false positives for ppc64: Section .opd The .opd section contains function descriptors at least for ppc64. So ignore it for .init.text (was ignored for .exit.text). See description of function descriptors here: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi-1.7.html Section .toc1 ppc64 places some static variables in .toc1 - ignore the. Section __bug_tabe BUG() and friends uses __bug_table. Ignore warnings from that section. Module parameters are placed in .data.rel for ppc64, for adjust pattern to match on section named .data* Tested with gcc: 3.4.0 and binutils 2.15.90.0.3 Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: whitelist false section mismatch warnings

2006-02-26T21:18:11Z

In several cases the section mismatch check triggered false warnings. Following patch introduce a whitelist to 'false positives' are not warned of. Two types of patterns are recognised: 1) Typical case when a module parameter is _initdata 2) When a function pointer is assigned to a driver structure In both patterns we rely on the actual name of the variable assigned Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
