This patch fixes a segfault in modpost that is observed when the gold
linker is used to link the input objects.
The problem is that reloc_location (modpost.c) is computing the
address of the relocation target incorrectly. Here, elf->hdr points
to the beginning of the ELF file in memory, sechdr points to the
relocation section header, section is the index of the section
being relocated, and sechdrs[section].sh_offset would be the offset
of that section, relative to the beginning of the ELF file. Adding
elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset gives you the address of the
beginning of the section, and adding r->r_offset to that gives you the
address of the location to be relocated. You do not need to subtract
sechdrs[section].sh_addr from that -- the result of this is an address
outside the file, and causes the segfault when addend_386_rel tries to
dereference it.
This bug is not observed when GNU ld is used to link the inputs. The
object file ubuntu/omnibook/omnibook.o is the result of an ld -r of
several other files. When GNU ld does an ld -r, it sets the vaddr
field for each section to 0, but gold lays out the section addresses
sequentially instead:
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 00000000 000034 004794 00 AX 0 0 4
[ 2] .data PROGBITS 0000b9d0 0047c8 0009c0 00 WA 0 0 4
[ 3] .bss NOBITS 000162f8 005188 00013c 00 WA 0 0 4
[ 4] .rodata.str1.1 PROGBITS 00004f2d 0052c4 001b1a 01 AMS 0 0 1
[ 5] .init.text PROGBITS 00004794 006dde 0005fa 00 AX 0 0 1
[ 6] .exit.text PROGBITS 00004d8e 0073d8 00018a 00 AX 0 0 1
...
So the bug in the tool remained undiscovered because the section's vaddr
always happened to be 0.

It just hit me.
It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
(r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr);
E.g. for the first rodata r entry:
r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr
and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something
equally wise.

The patch below works fine (at least with Debian). It needs your first
patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h. Verified that
aliases for these modules are generated correctly:
drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c
drivers/net/ne.c

drivers/scsi/aha152x.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c

The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol
prefixes. It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal
unprefixed symbol. But then it uses the length of the original symbol to
check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is
looking for. On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing,
so there is no problem. On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just
one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways. But every
once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults.
For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real
symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal
symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name". The substring will thus return
one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match". But then "match" will
be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will
exceed the storage. i.e. the code ends up doing:
char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0';

The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.
This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.
A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

The current code to generate usb modaliases from usb_device_id assumes
that the device's bcdDevice descriptor will actually be in BCD format.
While this should be a sane assumption, some devices don't follow spec
and just use plain old hex. This causes drivers for these devices to
generate invalid modalias lines which will never actually match for the
hardware.
The following patch adds hex support for bcdDevice in file2alias.c by
detecting when a driver uses a hex formatted bcdDevice_(lo|hi) and
adjusts the output to hex format accordingly.
Drivers for devices which have bcdDevice conforming to BCD will have no
change in modalias output. Drivers for devices which don't conform
(i.e. ibmcam) should now generate valid modaliases.
EXAMPLE OUTPUT (ibmcam; space added to highlight change)

With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices. Just like
we do with I2C drivers.
This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices
but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips
probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is
overkill.
This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since
with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

When you put
.section ".foo"
in an assembly file instead of
.section "foo", "ax"
, one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an
ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela().
But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that
has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated
sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.
On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one:
WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name.
So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular

While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers). This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.
We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.
The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers. When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.
Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.
Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux. Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()
