2011-05-19ftrace/kbuild: Add recordmcount files to force full buildMichal Marek
Modifications to recordmcount must be performed on all object files to stay consistent with what the kernel code may expect. Add the recordmcount files to the main dependencies to make sure any change to them causes a full recompile.

2011-05-19modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50Anders Kaseorg
Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools. Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are stored.

2011-05-19module: Sort exported symbolsAlessio Igor Bogani
This patch places every exported symbol in its own section (i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section (i.e. "__ksymtab"). The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols. To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary section names. This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.

Introduce mcount_adjust{,_32,_64} to the C implementation of recordmcount analog to $mcount_adjust in the perl script. The adjustment is added to the address of the relocations against the mcount symbol.

2011-05-16kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount callersSteven Rostedt
When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just waste execution time.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Add warning logic to warn on mcount not recordedSteven Rostedt
There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully. This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely ignored or added to the whitelist.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Make ignored mcount calls into nops at compile timeSteven Rostedt
There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is unnecessary. The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time. A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they are created. Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86. Cc: "H.

2011-04-24kconfig: Avoid buffer underrun in choice inputBen Hutchings
Commit 40aee729b350 ('kconfig: fix default value for choice input') fixed some cases where kconfig would select the wrong option from a choice with a single valid option and thus enter an infinite loop. However, this broke the test for user input of the form 'N?', because when kconfig selects the single valid option the input is zero-length and the test will read the byte before the input buffer. If this happens to contain '?' (as it will in a mips build on Debian unstable today) then kconfig again enters an infinite loop.

If you run checkpatch against multiple patches, and one of them has a whitespace issue which can be helped via a script (rpt_cleaners), you will see the same NOTE over and over for all subsequent patches. It makes it seem like those patches also have whitespace problems when in reality, there's only one or two bad apples. So reset rpt_cleaners back to 0 after we've issued the note so that it only shows up near the patch with the actual problems.

2011-03-23kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) rightAlexey Dobriyan
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty, libc way to indicate failure. 2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and comments pretend they do. 3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants, but users want strtou8() 4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong: Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist because conversion should be strict by default. The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types. Enter kstrtoull() kstrtoll() kstrtoul() kstrtol() kstrtouint() kstrtoint() kstrtou64() kstrtos64() kstrtou32() kstrtos32() kstrtou16() kstrtos16() kstrtou8() kstrtos8() Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well. strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and eventually will be removed altogether. Use kstrto*() in code today! Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution, because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and __alignof__ at least always works.

2011-03-17genksyms: Track changes to enum constantsMichal Marek
Enum constants can be used as array sizes; if the enum itself does not appear in the symbol expansion, a change in the enum constant will go unnoticed. Example patch that changes the ABI but does not change the checksum with current genksyms: | enum e { | E1, | E2, |+ E3, | E_MAX | }; | | struct s { | int a[E_MAX]; | } | | int f(struct s *s) { ... } | EXPORT_SYMBOL(f) Therefore, remember the value of each enum constant and expand each occurence to <constant> <value>. The value is not actually computed, but instead an expression in the form (last explicitly assigned value) + N is used. This avoids having to parse and semantically understand whole of C.

2011-03-17KBuild: silence "'scripts/unifdef' is up to date."Mike Waychison
While changing our build system over to use the headers_install target as part of our klibc build, the following message started showing up in our logs: make[2]: `scripts/unifdef' is up to date. It turns out that the build blindly invokes a recursive make on this target, which causes make to emit this message when the target is already up to date. This isn't seen for most targets as the rest of the build relies primarily on the default target and on PHONY targets when invoking make recursively. Silence the above message when building unifdef as part of headers_install by hiding it behind a new PHONY target called "build_unifdef" that has an empty recipe.

The idea behind this option is targeted at developers who, in the process of writing their code, want to do the occasional make W=1 [target.o] and let gcc do more extensive code checking for them. Then, they could eyeball the output for valid gcc warnings about various bugs/discrepancies which are not reported during the normal build process.

2011-02-21fixdep: Do not record dependency on the source file itselfMichal Marek
The dependency is already expressed by the Makefiles, storing it in the .cmd file breaks build if a .c file is replaced by .S or vice versa, because the .cmd file contains foo/bar.o: foo/bar.c ... foo/bar.c ... : so the foo/bar.c -> foo/bar.o rule triggers even if there is no foo/bar.c anymore.
