Tony Lindgren 6e2e340b59 ARM: 7324/1: modpost: Fix section warnings for ARM for many compilers
It turns out that many compilers don't show section warnings on ARM
currently because handling for ARM_CALL relocs are missing from
modpost.c.

Based on commit c2e26114 ([ARM] 3205/1: Handle new EABI relocations when
loading kernel modules) it seems that R_ARM_PC24, R_ARM_CALL and
R_ARM_JUMP24 can be handled the same way.

Note that at least Debian libc6-dev is missing defines for both
R_ARM_CALL and R_ARM_JUMP24 in /usr/include/elf.h. So for now
we need to define them in modpost.c if not defined.

Ondrej Zary 0d86f65ed0 module: fix broken isapnp handling in file2alias
Handling of isapnp module aliases was broken by commit
626596e295 by changing "isapnp" string to "isa".
The code was then modified by commit
e49ce14150 but this bug remained.

Change the string back to "isapnp".

Ben Hutchings 5467bdda4a x86/cpu: Clean up modalias feature matching
We currently include commas on both sides of the feature ID in a
modalias, but this prevents the lowest numbered feature of a CPU from
being matched.  Since all feature IDs have the same length, we do not
need to worry about substring matches, so omit commas from the
modalias entirely.

Avoid generating multiple adjacent wildcards when there is no
feature ID to match.

Andi Kleen 644e9cbbe3 Add driver auto probing for x86 features v4
There's a growing number of drivers that support a specific x86 feature
or CPU.  Currently loading these drivers currently on a generic
distribution requires various driver specific hacks and it often
doesn't work.

This patch adds auto probing for drivers based on the x86 cpuid
information, in particular based on vendor/family/model number
and also based on CPUID feature bits.

For example a common issue is not loading the SSE 4.2 accelerated
CRC module: this can significantly lower the performance of BTRFS
which relies on fast CRC.

Another issue is loading the right CPUFREQ driver for the current CPU.
Currently distributions often try all all possible driver until
one sticks, which is not really a good way to do this.

It works with existing udev without any changes. The code
exports the x86 information as a generic string in sysfs
that can be matched by udev's pattern matching.

This scheme does not support numeric ranges, so if you want to
handle e.g. ranges of model numbers they have to be encoded
in ASCII or simply all models or families listed. Fixing
that would require changing udev.

Another issue is that udev will happily load all drivers that match,
there is currently no nice way to stop a specific driver from
being loaded if it's not needed (e.g. if you don't need fast CRC)
But there are not that many cpu specific drivers around and they're
all not that bloated, so this isn't a particularly serious issue.

Originally this patch added the modalias to the normal cpu
sysdevs. However sysdevs don't have all the infrastructure
needed for udev, so it couldn't really autoload drivers.
This patch instead adds the CPU modaliases to the cpuid devices,
which are real devices with full support for udev. This implies
that the cpuid driver has to be loaded to use this.

This patch just adds infrastructure, some driver conversions
in followups.

Thanks to Kay for helping with some sysfs magic.

v2: Constifcation, some updates
v4: (trenn@suse.de):
    - Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc to terminate modalias buffer
    - Use uppercase hex values to match correctly against hex values containing
      letters

Russell King 65f2e753f1 Revert "ARM: sa11x0: Implement autoloading of codec and codec pdata for mcp bus."
This reverts commit 5dd7bf59e0.

Conflicts:

	scripts/mod/file2alias.c

This change is wrong on many levels.  First and foremost, it causes a
regression.  On boot on Assabet, which this patch gives a codec id of
'ucb1x00', it gives:

	ucb1x00 ID not found: 1005

0x1005 is a valid ID for the UCB1300 device.

Secondly, this patch is way over the top in terms of complexity.  The
only device which has been seen to be connected with this MCP code is
the UCB1x00 (UCB1200, UCB1300 etc) devices, and they all use the same
driver.  Adding a match table, requiring the codec string to match the
hardware ID read out of the ID register, etc is completely over the top
when we can just read the hardware ID register.

Dave Martin 523817bd22 ARM: amba: Auto-generate AMBA driver module aliases during modpost
This patch adds the necessary support in file2alias.c to define
suitable aliases based on the amba_id table in AMBA driver modules.

This should be sufficient to allow such modules to be auto-loaded
via udev.  The AMBA bus driver's uevent hotplug code is also
modified to pass an approriate MODALIAS string in the event.

For simplicity, the AMBA ID is treated an an opaque 32-bit numeber.
Module alises use patterns as appropriate to describe the value-
mask pairs described in the driver's amba_id list.

The proposed alias format is (extended regex):

    ^amba:d(HEX){8}$

Where HEX is a single upper-case HEX digit or a pattern (? or []
expression) matching a single upper-case HEX digit, as expected by
udev.

"d" is short for "device", following existing alias naming
conventions for other device types.  This adds some flexibility for
unambiguously extending the alias format in the future by adding
additional leading and trailing fields, if this turns out to be
necessary.

Greg Kroah-Hartman ebf16e3851 Staging: hv: file2alias: fix up alias creation logic for hv_vmbus_device_id
When I added the driver_data field to hv_vmbus_device_id, I forgot to
take into the account how the alias was created, so it would append the
kernel pointer to the end of the alias, which is not correct.

This changes how the hv_vmbus_device_id alias is created to proper
account for the driver_data field.  As no module yet uses this alias, it
is safe to fix this up at this point in the commit stream.

Alessio Igor Bogani 62a2635610 modpost: Fix modpost's license checking V3
The commit f02e8a6 sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section.
The sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker.
Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux
(already linked) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet).
These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't
detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of
the new exported symbols structure.

Rafał Miłecki 8369ae33b7 bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver
Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.

In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.

Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).

Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.

Olof Johansson 731ece41fb modpost: Fix address calculation in reloc_location()
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/net/3c515.c
drivers/net/smc-ultra.c
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
drivers/scsi/aha152x.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c
drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c

Tested with RTL8019AS (ne), AVA-1505AE (aha152x) and dtc436e (g_NCR5380)
cards - they now work automatically.

Generate pnp:d aliases for isapnp_device_tables. This allows udev to load
these modules automatically.
