* powerpc: remove unused variableStephen Rothwell2010-10-051-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since powerpc uses -Werror on arch powerpc, the build was broken like this: cc1: warnings being treated as errors arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_finalize': arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:66: error: unused variable 'err' Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption raceLinus Torvalds2010-10-051-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it possible to do most of the module loading in parallel. However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific "module_finalize()" rather than from generic code. Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the module loading lock any more. So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations are now safe. Future fixups: - move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it belongs. - get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules (called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain for other reasons.

* powerpc/mm: Introduce MMU featuresBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-12-211-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | We're soon running out of CPU features and I need to add some new ones for various MMU related bits, so this patch separates the MMU features from the CPU features. I moved over the 32-bit MMU related ones, added base features for MMU type families, but didn't move over any 64-bit only feature yet.

* powerpc: Remove dead module_find_bug codeSteven Rostedt2008-08-181-15/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doing some various "make randconfig", I came across an error when CONFIG_BUG was not set: arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c: In function 'module_find_bug': arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: increment of pointer to unknown structure arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:111: error: arithmetic on pointer to an incomplete type arch/powerpc/kernel/module.c:112: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type Looking further into this, I found that module_find_bug, defined in powerpc arch code, is not called anywhere, so this just removes it. There is a static module_find_bug in lib/bug.c but that is a separate issue. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* powerpc: Fixup lwsync at runtimeKumar Gala2008-07-031-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.
