Sam Ravnborg 7670f023aa [PATCH] kbuild: fix buffer overflow in modpost
Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> reported that modpost would stop with SIGABRT if
used with long filepaths.
The error looked like:
>   Building modules, stage 2.
>   MODPOST
> *** glibc detected *** scripts/mod/modpost: realloc(): invalid next size:
+0x0809f588 ***
> [...]

Fix this by allocating at least the required memory + SZ bytes each time.
Before we sometimes ended up allocating too little memory resuting in the
glibc detected bug above.  Based on patch originally submitted by: Jiri

Robb, Sam 5e375bc7d5 [PATCH] kconfig: detect if -lintl is needed when linking conf,mconf
On a system where libintl.h is present, but the NLS functionality is
supplied by a separate library instead of the system C library, an attempt
to "make config" or "make menuconfig" will fail with link errors, ex:

  scripts/kconfig/mconf.o:mconf.c:(.text+0xf63): undefined reference to
    `_libintl_gettext'

This patch attempts to correct the problem by detecting whether or not NLS
support requires linking with libintl.

Sam Ravnborg 3835f82183 kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage
While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper"
some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed
permissions or suddenly became a regular file.
The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output
to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did
some strange things with the output file; in this
case /dev/null when it errorred out.

Following patch implements a suggestion
from Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> to
use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so.

Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of
HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used.
This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper

Thanks to Eyal Lebedinsky <eyal@eyal.emu.id.au> and
Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> for the first error reports.

For our future {in}sanity, add a comment that this is the ppc .opd

Any idea why ppc .opd points to discarded sections when ia64 does not?
AFAICT no ia64 object has a useful .opd section, they are all empty or

Rene Scharfe 117a93db1d kbuild: Use git in scripts/setlocalversion
Currently scripts/setlocalversion is a Perl script that tries to figure
out the current git commit ID of a repo without using git.  It also
imports Digest::MD5 without using it and generally is too big for the
small task it does. :]  And it always reports a git ID, even when the
HEAD is tagged -- this is a bug.

This patch replaces it with a Bourne Shell script that uses git
commands to do the same.  I can't come up with a scenario where someone
would use a git repo and refuse to install git core at the same time,
so I think it's reasonable to assume git is available.

The new script also reports uncommitted changes by adding -git_dirty to
the version string.  Obviously you can't see from that _what_ has been
changed from the last commit, so it's more of a reminder that you
forgot to commit something.

The script is easily extensible: simply add a check for Mercurial (or
whatever) below the git check.

Note: the script doesn't print a newline char anymore.  That's only
because it was easier to implement it that way, not a feature (or bug).
'make kernelrelease' doesn't care.

Rusty Russell 1d8f430c15 [PATCH] Input: add modalias support
Here's the patch for modalias support for input classes.  It uses
comma-separated numbers, and doesn't describe all the potential keys (no
module currently cares, and that would make the strings huge).  The
changes to input.h are to move the definitions needed by file2alias
outside __KERNEL__.  I chose not to move those definitions to
mod_devicetable.h, because there are so many that it might break compile
of something else in the kernel.

The rest is fairly straightforward.

Robin Holt a89a0a2354 kbuild: Fix genksyms handling of DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);
This is a one-line change to parse.y.
To take advantage of this the scripts/genksyms/*_shipped files needs to
be rebuild - this is the next patch.

When a .c file contains:
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct foo_s *, bar);

the .cpp output looks like:
__attribute__((__section__(".data.percpu"))) __typeof__(struct foo_s *) per_cpu__bar;

With the existing parse.y, the value inside the paranthesis of
__typeof__() does not evaluate as a type_specifier and therefore
per_cpu__bar does not get assigned a type for genksyms which results in
the EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL() not generating a CRC value.

I have compared the Modules.symvers with and without this
patch and for ia64's defconfig, the only change is:
Before 0x00000000    per_cpu____sn_nodepda   vmlinux
After  0x9d3f3faa    per_cpu____sn_nodepda   vmlinux

per_cpu____sn_nodepda was the original source of my problems.

Ustyugov Roman f83b5e323f kbuild: set correct KBUILD_MODNAME when using well known kernel symbols as module names
This patch fixes a problem when we use well known kernel symbols as module
names.

For example, if module source name is current.c, idle_stack.c or etc.,
we have a bad KBUILD_MODNAME value.
For example, KBUILD_MODNAME will be "get_current()" instead of "current", or
"(init_thread_union.stack)" instead of "idle_task".

The trick is to define a stringify macro on the commandline - named
KBUILD_STR for namespace reasons - and then to stringify the module
name.

There are a few uses of KBUILD_MODNAME throughout the tree but the usage
is for debug and will not be harmed by this change so left untouched for now.

While at it KBUILD_BASENAME was changed too. Any spinlock usage in the
unix module would have created wrong section names without it.
Usage in spinlock.h fixed so it no longer stringify KBUILD_BASENAME.

Original patch from Ustyogov Roman - all bugs introduced by me.

Luke Yang 9572b28faf kbuild: Fix crc-error warning on modules
This is the patch for the following issue:

 In include/linux/module.h, "__crc_" and "__ksymtab_" are hard
coded to be the   prefix for some kinds of symbols (CRC symbol and
ksymtab section). But in script /mod/modpost.c,
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##"__crc_" is used as the prefix to search CRC
symbols. So if an architecture (such as h8300 or Blackfin) defines
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX as not NULL ("_"), modpost will always warn about
"no invalid crc".
  And it is the same with KSYMTAB_PFX.
