Allow arch to initialize arch field of the module structure

2007-05-09T19:30:56+00:00

This will later allow an arch to add module specific information via linker
generated tables instead of poking directly in the module object structure.

Add white list into modpost.c for memory hotplug code and ia64's machvec section

2007-05-08T18:14:57+00:00

This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and
ia64's section to fix section mismatchs.

  sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator
  at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config
  memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text)
  from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch.

  Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be
  used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for
  section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc()
  and zone_wait_table_init() into white list.

  In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform
  dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These
  reference of __init functions are valid too.

blackfin architecture

2007-05-07T19:12:58+00:00

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix!  Tinyboards.

The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc.  (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000.  Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices.  The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set.  It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.

The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc

This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel

kbuild: do not emit src version warning for non-modules

2007-05-02T18:58:09+00:00

modpost is now called with .o files that are not modules.
So do not warn if there is no corresponding .mod
file listing .o files (in .tmp_versions/).

kbuild: distinguish between errors and warnings in modpost

2007-05-02T18:58:08+00:00

Some of modpost's warnings are fatal, and some are not.  Adopt the
compiler distinction between errors and warnings by calling merror()
for fatal diagnostics and warn() for non-fatal ones.
merror() was used as replacemtn for error() to avoid clash with glibc

kbuild: whitelist logo references from .text to .init.data

2007-05-02T18:58:08+00:00

drivers/video/logo has references from .text to .init.data
but function is only used during early init.
So reference is OK and we do not want to warn about them =>
whitelist the reference.
