recordmcount: Fix endianness handling bug for nop_mcount

2016-01-31T19:23:40+00:00

commit c84da8b9ad3761eef43811181c7e896e9834b26b upstream.

In nop_mcount, shdr->sh_offset and welp->r_offset should handle
endianness properly, otherwise it will trigger Segmentation fault
if the recordmcount main and file.o have different endianness.

recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop

2016-01-31T19:23:39+00:00

commit 2ee8a74f2a5da913637f75a19a0da0e7a08c0f86 upstream.

By now, the recordmcount only records the function that in
following sections:
.text/.ref.text/.sched.text/.spinlock.text/.irqentry.text/
.kprobes.text/.text.unlikely

For the function that not in these sections, the call mcount
will be in place and not be replaced when kernel boot up. And
it will bring performance overhead, such as do_mem_abort (in
.exception.text section). This patch make the call mcount to
nop for this case in recordmcount.

scripts/recordmcount.pl: support data in text section on powerpc

2016-01-31T19:23:38+00:00

commit 2e50c4bef77511b42cc226865d6bc568fa7f8769 upstream.

If a text section starts out with a data blob before the first
function start label, disassembly parsing doing in recordmcount.pl
gets confused on powerpc, leading to creation of corrupted module
objects.

This was not a problem so far since the compiler would never create
such text sections.  However, this has changed with a recent change
in GCC 6 to support distances of > 2GB between a function and its
assoicated TOC in the ELFv2 ABI, exposing this problem.

There is already code in recordmcount.pl to handle such data blobs
on the sparc64 platform.  This patch uses the same method to handle
those on powerpc as well.

localmodconfig: Use Kbuild files too

2015-09-13T16:07:40+00:00

commit c0ddc8c745b7f89c50385fd7aa03c78dc543fa7a upstream.

In kbuild it is allowed to define objects in files named "Makefile"
and "Kbuild".
Currently localmodconfig reads objects only from "Makefile"s and misses
modules like nouveau.

scripts/gdb: fix lx-lsmod refcnt

2015-05-29T01:25:19+00:00

Commit 2f35c41f58a9 ("module: Replace module_ref with atomic_t refcnt")
changes the way refcnt is handled but did not update the gdb script to
use the new variable.

Since refcnt is not per-cpu anymore, we can directly read its value.

modpost: don't emit section mismatch warnings for compiler optimizations

2015-04-22T08:01:34+00:00

Currently an allyesconfig build [gcc-4.9.1] can generate the following:

   WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3864): Section mismatch in
   reference from the function cpumask_empty.constprop.3() to the
   variable .init.data:nmi_ipi_mask

which comes from the cpumask_empty usage in arch/x86/kernel/nmi_selftest.c.

Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is:

	static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp)

however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does
constant propagation optimization.

Fix things up so that any locally optimized constprop variants don't warn
when accessing variables that live in the __init sections.

modpost: expand pattern matching to support substring matches

2015-04-22T08:01:33+00:00

Currently the match() function supports a leading * to match any
prefix and a trailing * to match any suffix.  However there currently
is not a combination of both that can be used to target matches of
whole families of functions that share a common substring.

Here we expand the *foo and foo* match to also support *foo* with
the goal of targeting compiler generated symbol names that contain
strings like ".constprop." and ".isra."
