It has been discussed on lkml several times but we need it documented as this is new stuff. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

Today we have the following annotations for functions/data referencing __init/__exit functions / data: __init_refok => for init functions __initdata_refok => for init data __exit_refok => for exit functions There is really no difference between the __init and __exit versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation the following new annotations are introduced: __ref => for functions (code) that references __*init / __*exit __refdata => for variables __refconst => for const variables Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation is for and there is no longer the arbitary division between __init and __exit code. The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section is created which is made part of the usual sections in the linker script. We will start to see annotations like this: -static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = { +static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = { ----------------- -static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier = +static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata = ---------------- -static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, +static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, [The above is just random samples]. Note: No modifications were needed in modpost to support the new sections due to the newly introduced blacklisting. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

If there is a mixture of specifying sections for code in gcc and assembler then if the assembler code do not add the "ax" flags the linker will see this as two different sections and generate unique sections for each. ld does so by adding a dot and a number. Teach modpost to warn if a section shows up that match this pattern - but do this only for non-debug sections. It will result in warnings like this: WARNING: vmlinux.o (.sched.text.1): unexpected section name. The (.[number]+) following section name are ld generated and not expected. Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file? Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains section definitions for use in .S files. All warnings seen with a defconfig build for: x86 (32+64bit) and sparc64 has been fixed (via respective maintainers). arm, powerpc (64 bit), s390 (32 bit), ia64, alpha, sh4 checked - no warnings seen with a defconfig build.

If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es). To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis" in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH). If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost. Sample outputs: WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr The function discover_ebda() references the variable __initdata ebda_addr. This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong. WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit() The variable pci_serial_quirks references the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console, WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu() The symbol arch_register_cpu is exported and annotated __cpuinit Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.

Change kconfig behavior so that mixing bool and tristate config settings in a choice is possible and has the desired effect of offering just the tristate options individually if the choice gets set to M, and a normal boolean selection if the choice gets set to Y. Also fix scripts/kconfig/conf's handling of children of choice values - there may be more than one immediate child, and all of them need to be processed.

Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG), __cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG) allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual configuration of for example HOTPLUG. This has the effect that all users see much more Section mismatch warnings than before because they were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled. The advantage of this is that when building a piece of code then it is much more likely that the Section mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be felt less random of nature.

Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the bad combinations of sections that refer to other sections. Compared to the previous approach we are much less dependent on knowledge of what additional sections the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false positives low. The implmentation is changed to use a table based lookup and we now check all combinations in first pass so we no longer need separate passes for init and exit sections. Tested that the same warnings are generated for an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

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. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

Rather than fixing the output directory in the generated Makefile, determine it from the placement of Makefile. This allows moving the build tree around or accessing it through different mount paths. (The lastword definition is a compatibility one for make prior to 3.81; newer make will simply ignore it and use the [faster] built-in.)

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. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
