2013-09-02ARM: 7829/1: Add ".text.unlikely" and ".text.hot" to arm unwind tablesDouglas Anderson
It appears that gcc may put some code in ".text.unlikely" or ".text.hot" sections. Right now those aren't accounted for in unwind tables. Add them. I found some docs about this at: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.6.2/gcc.pdf Without this, if you have slub_debug turned on, you can get messages that look like this: unwind: Index not found 7f008c50 Signed-off-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2012-09-28Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

2011-02-26ARM: 6766/1: Thumb-2: Reflect ARM/Thumb-2 configuration in module vermagicDave Martin
Loading Thumb-2 modules into an ARM kernel or vice-versa isn't guaranteed to work safely, since the kernel is not interworking- aware everywhere. This patch adds "thumb2" to the module vermagic when CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is enabled, to help avoid accidental loading of modules into the wrong kernel.

2011-02-17ARM: P2V: extend to 16-bit translation offsetsRussell King
MSM's memory is aligned to 2MB, which is more than we can do with our existing method as we're limited to the upper 8 bits. Extend this by using two instructions to 16 bits, automatically selected when MSM is enabled.

2011-02-17ARM: P2V: introduce phys_to_virt/virt_to_phys runtime patchingRussell King
This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version, which was then rewritten into this. Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us to achieve this with minimal loss of performance. As many translations are of the form: physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub' instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this constant into the above add/sub instructions. Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use. At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a constant which will not fit in our math instruction. Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent incompatible modules being loaded.

2010-12-01ARM: module: clean up handling of ELF unwind tablesRussell King
There's no need to keep pointers to the ELF sections available while the module is loaded - we only need the section pointers while we're finding and registering the unwind tables, which can all be done during the finalize stage of loading. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-09-02ARM: 6340/1: module - additional unwind tables for exit/devexit sectionsPhil Carmody
Without these, exit functions cannot be stack-traced, so to speak. This implies that module unloads that perform allocations (don't laugh) will cause noisy warnings on the console when kmemleak is enabled, as it presumes that all code's call chains are traceable. Similarly, BUGs and WARN_ONs will give additional console spam.
