[ Upstream commit 3cd9763ce4ad999d015cf0734e6b968cead95077 ]

Building a size optimized ppc64 kernel (-Os), gcc emits more FP
save/restore symbols, that the linker generates on demand into the
.sfpr section. Explicitly allow-list those in scripts/mod/modpost.c,
too. They are needed for the amdgpu in-kernel floating point support.

commit 7912405643a14b527cd4a4f33c1d4392da900888 upstream.

The compiler can fully inline the actual handler function of an interrupt
entry into the .irqentry.text entry point. If such a function contains an
access which has an exception table entry, modpost complains about a
section mismatch:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x447c): Section mismatch in reference ...

  The relocation at __ex_table+0x447c references section ".irqentry.text"
  which is not in the list of authorized sections.

Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS to cure the issue.

[ Upstream commit 0c3e091319e4748cb36ac9a50848903dc6f54054 ]

This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:

 - ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
 - 6543becf26ff ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

Commit ac551828993e inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():

    else
            strcat(alias, "*");

This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.

Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:

    MODULE_ALIAS("*");

This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.

Commit ac551828993e introduced another bug.            

Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:

    if (eisa-&gt;sig[0])

This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.

However, commit ac551828993e changed it as follows:

    if (sig[0])

sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.

The correct conversion would have been:

    if ((*sig)[0])

However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.

This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

<title>modpost: fix input MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() built for 64-bit on 32-bit host</title>

When building a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit build host, incorrect
input MODULE_ALIAS() entries may be generated.

For example, when compiling a 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
on a 64-bit build machine, you will get the correct output:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");

However, building the same kernel on a 32-bit machine results in
incorrect output:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*130,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*16A,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*165,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*20,*21,*38,*3C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*130,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");

A similar issue occurs with CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m. On a 64-bit build
machine, the output is:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*120,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*130,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");

However, on a 32-bit machine, the output is incorrect:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*20,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*22,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*28,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*26,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*2E0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");

When building a 64-bit kernel, BITS_PER_LONG is defined as 64. However,
on a 32-bit build machine, the constant 1L is a signed 32-bit value.
Left-shifting it beyond 32 bits causes wraparound, and shifting by 31
or 63 bits makes it a negative value.

The fix in commit e0e92632715f ("[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix:
modpost-64bit-fix.patch") is incorrect; it only addresses cases where
a 64-bit kernel is built on a 64-bit build machine, overlooking cases
on a 32-bit build machine.

Using 1ULL ensures a 64-bit width on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines,
avoiding the wraparound issue.

or 63 bits makes it a negative value.

The fix in commit e0e92632715f ("[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix:
modpost-64bit-fix.patch") is incorrect; it only addresses cases where
a 64-bit kernel is built on a 64-bit build machine, overlooking cases
on a 32-bit build machine.

Using 1ULL ensures a 64-bit width on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines,
avoiding the wraparound issue.

<title>modpost: fix acpi MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE built with mismatched endianness</title>

<id>2e766a1f5f94a142d9a906c9411d0f6101c4c721</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=m, modpost outputs incorect acpi
MODULE_ALIAS() if the endianness of the target and the build machine
do not match.

When the endianness of the target kernel and the build machine match,
the output is correct:

  $ grep 'MODULE_ALIAS("acpi' drivers/ata/ahci_platform.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:APMC0D33:*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:010601:*");

However, when building a little-endian kernel on a big-endian machine
(or vice versa), the output is incorrect:

  $ grep 'MODULE_ALIAS("acpi' drivers/ata/ahci_platform.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:APMC0D33:*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("acpi*:0601??:*");

The 'cls' and 'cls_msk' fields are 32-bit.

DEF_FIELD() must be used instead of DEF_FIELD_ADDR() to correctly handle
endianness of these 32-bit fields.

The check 'if (cls)' was unnecessary; it never became NULL, as it was
the pointer to 'symval' plus the offset to the 'cls' field.

  updates and additions, but there are also small driver subsystem
  updates all over the place. Included in here are:

   - lots and lots of new IIO drivers and updates to existing ones

   - interconnect subsystem updates and new drivers

   - nvmem subsystem updates and new drivers

   - mhi driver updates

   - power supply subsystem updates

   - kobj_type const work for many different small subsystems

   - fpga subsystem improvements

   - slimbus fixups

   - binder new feature addition for "frozen" notifications

   - lots and lots of other small driver updates and cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time with no reported
  problems"

<title>kbuild: compile constant module information only once</title>

Various information about modules is compiled into the info sections.
For that a dedicated .mod.c file is generated by modpost for each module
and then linked into the module.
However most of the information in the .mod.c is the same for all
modules, internal and external.
Split the shared information into a dedicated source file that is
compiled once and then linked into all modules.

This avoids frequent rebuilds for all .mod.c files when using
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO because the local version ends up in .mod.c
through UTS_RELEASE and VERMAGIC_STRING.
The modules are still relinked in this case.

The code is also easier to maintain as it's now in a proper source file
instead of an inline string literal.

<title>slimbus: generate MODULE_ALIAS() from MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()</title>

Commit 9e663f4811c6 ("slimbus: core: add support to uevent") added the
MODALIAS=slim:* uevent variable, but modpost does not generate the
corresponding MODULE_ALIAS().

To support automatic module loading, slimbus drivers still need to
manually add MODULE_ALIAS("slim:&lt;manf_id&gt;:&lt;prod_code&gt;:*"), as seen in
sound/soc/codecs/wcd9335.c.

To automate this, make modpost generate the proper MODULE_ALIAS() from
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(slim, ).
