Sam Ravnborg 5b24c0715f kbuild: code refactoring in modpost
Split a too long function up in smaller bits to make
prgram logic easier to follow.
A few related changes done due to parameter
changes.

No functional changes.

Sam Ravnborg 9ad21c3f3e kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpost
The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.

Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.

With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.

Sam Ravnborg df578e7d83 kbuild: clean up modpost.c
akpm complained about overly long lines in modpost.c and
when started additional style issues were fixed:

o Updated my copyright
o Removed unneeded {}
o Drop assignments in if ()
o Spaces around operators
o Break long lines
o locate * near variable not type
o Fix a format specifier for sizeof()
o Corrected placement of '{' and '}'
o spaces to tabs (but use tabs only for indention)

modpost.c is not checkpatch clean. Readability were favoured
on top of checkpatch compliance.
But checkpatch were used to find additional stuff to clean up.

Trent Piepho 4b21960f90 kbuild: modpost problem when symbols move from one module to another
When part of build an external module tree, modpost first reads in the
kernel's and then the external tree's Module.symvers files.  From these files
it establishes a symbol => module mapping.  When it later reads in each module
built and processes the symbols it finds, it discovers the symbol=>module
mapping from Module.symvers and leaves it as it is.

The problem comes with a module has been re-named or a symbol has moved from
one module to another, since the Module.symvers file was generated.  modpost
does not update the symbol=>module mapping when it finds the new location of
the symbol when scanning the newly built modules.  This results in the module
containing incorrect dependency information and the new Module.symvers file
written by modpost will also contain the incorrect mappings, perpetuating the
problem to the next build, and so on.

When building the out of kernel development tree for kernel subsystem, like
v4l-dvb or ALSA, deleting the external Module.symvers file before building
(which the kernel build system doesn't do and shouldn't be necessary anyway),
won't fix the problem.  modpost still reads the kernel's Module.symvers, and
since we a building a kernel subsystem, it will define the same symbols as the
external modules.

Pavel Emelyanov 4665079cbb [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.

Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.

The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

Sam Ravnborg cb7e51d8b1 kbuild: fix modpost warnings for xtensa
The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate
from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore,
reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those
warnings.

The naming convention defines the name for a literal
section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case
the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp()
to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0
should not cause any regressions for other architectures.

We also need to suppress warnings for two informational
sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture.

Sam Ravnborg 2648a53acf kbuild: fix sh64 section mismatch problems
There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated,
with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later
stage.

To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction
set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with
normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges
are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one.

It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with
different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input
and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker.

The closest I've been able to find to documentation is:
  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/emultempl/sh64elf.em?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src

It's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in
  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf32-sh64.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
that describes for which ISA a range is used.

Silence the warnings by allowing references from .init.text to .cranges.

The following warnings are fixed:

Linus Torvalds efa5bf1dd2 Revert "kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips"
This reverts commit f892b7d480, which
totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as
I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a
SIGSEGV in modpost.

Sam Ravnborg 577a32f620 mm: fix section mismatch warnings
modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/
Shift over to __init_refok and kill the
hardcoded function names in modpost.

This has the drawback that the functions
will always be kept no matter configuration.
With previous code the function were placed in
init section if configuration allowed it.

Sam Ravnborg 0e0d314e6a kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings
Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

Atsushi Nemoto f892b7d480 kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips
On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show
usefull symbol name.  This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend
value.  This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with
apply_relocate() routine in kernel code.

Without this patch:
  MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xf4) and 'try_name'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'

With this patch:
  MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'

Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show
"set_up_list3s" name.

Russell King 2560120997 kbuild: make modpost section warnings clearer
Change modpost section mismatch warnings to be less confusing;
model them on the binutils linker warnings which we all know how
to interpret.

Also, fix the wrong ordering of arguments for the final case -
fromsec and refsymname were reversed.

Sylvain Munaut d1ab423502 powerpc: Fix the MODALIAS generation in modpost for of devices
Since the devices may have multiple (or none) compatible properties,
the uevent generated internally by the kernel may have multiple
"C..." entries. So the MODALIAS stored in the module must have
wilcard before and after the compatible entry.
Also, if the 'compatible' field is not used for matching, there
will be no 'C' and that must handled as well.

The previous code handled all those case incorrectly and it
"mostly" worked ... but not always.
