module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.

2015-12-04T21:46:25+00:00

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is fairly invasive across random architectures. It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is enabled).

ia64: remove paravirt code

2015-06-10T21:26:32+00:00

All the ia64 pvops code is now dead code since both xen and kvm support have been ripped out [0] [1]. Just that no one had troubled to rip this stuff out. The only useful remaining pieces were the old pvops docs but that was recently also generalized and moved out from ia64 [2]. This has been run time tested on an ia64 Madison system.

module_arch_freeing_init(): new hook for archs before module->module_init freed.

2015-01-20T01:08:32+00:00

Archs have been abusing module_free() to clean up their arch-specific allocations. Since module_free() is also (ab)used by BPF and trace code, let's keep it to simple allocations, and provide a hook called before that. This means that avr32, ia64, parisc and s390 no longer need to implement their own module_free() at all. avr32 doesn't need module_finalize() either.

modules: make arch's use default loader hooks

2011-07-24T12:36:04+00:00

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that now provided by the recently added default hooks.

[IA64] Convert ia64 to use int-ll64.h

2009-06-17T16:33:49+00:00

It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an unsigned long long on all architectures. ia64 (in common with several other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long. Migrating piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h. Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long. This is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

[IA64] fix compile failure with non modular builds

2008-09-10T17:46:32+00:00

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into modules.c. Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as an inline. To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where they belong. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures

2008-09-09T18:51:15+00:00

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64. For two reasons: 1) parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for function descriptors Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing architecture overrides. I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64 and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

[IA64] adding parameter check to module_free()

2008-07-17T18:22:01+00:00

module_free() refers the first parameter before checking. But it is called like below(in kernel/kprobes). The first parameter is always NULL. This happens when many probe points(>1024) are set by kprobes. I encountered this with using SystemTap. It can set many probes easily. static int __kprobes collect_one_slot(struct kprobe_insn_page *kip, int idx) { ... if (kip->nused == 0) { hlist_del(&kip->hlist); if (hlist_empty(&kprobe_insn_pages)) { ... } else { module_free(NULL, kip->insns); //<<< 1st param always NULL kfree(kip); } return 1; } return 0; } Signed-off-by: Akiyama, Nobuyuki Signed-off-by: Tony Luck
