This reverts commit f892b7d480, which
totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as
I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a
SIGSEGV in modpost.

modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/
Shift over to __init_refok and kill the
hardcoded function names in modpost.
This has the drawback that the functions
will always be kept no matter configuration.
With previous code the function were placed in
init section if configuration allowed it.

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

This patch is add white list into modpost.c for some functions and
ia64's section to fix section mismatchs.
sparse_index_alloc() and zone_wait_table_init() calls bootmem allocator
at boot time, and kmalloc/vmalloc at hotplug time. If config
memory hotplug is on, there are references of bootmem allocater(init text)
from them (normal text). This is cause of section mismatch.
Bootmem is called by many functions and it must be
used only at boot time. I think __init of them should keep for
section mismatch check. So, I would like to register sparse_index_alloc()
and zone_wait_table_init() into white list.
In addition, ia64's .machvec section is function table of some platform
dependent code. It is mixture of .init.text and normal text. These
reference of __init functions are valid too.

This patch stops "modpost" from issuing erroneous modpost warnings on ARM
builds, which it's been doing since since maybe last summer. A canonical
example would be driver method table entries:
WARNING: <path> - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text:<name>_remove
from .data after '$d' (at offset 0x4)
That "$d" symbol is generated by tools conformant with ARM ABI specs; in
this case it's a symbol **in the middle of** a "<name>_driver" struct.
The erroneous warnings appear to be issued because "modpost" whitelists
references from "<name>_driver" data into init and exit sections ... but
doesn't know should also include those "$d" mapping symbols, which are not
otherwise associated with "<name>_driver" symbols.
This patch prevents the modpost symbol lookup code from ever returning
those mapping symbols, so it will return a whitelisted symbol instead.
Then things work as expected.
Now to revert various code-bloating "fixes" that got merged because of this
modpost bug....

It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.
The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).
Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

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

The scripts/genksyms/genksyms.c uses hardcoded "__crc_" prefix for
crc symbols in kernel and modules. The prefix should be replaced by
"MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX##__crc_" otherwise there will be warnings when
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX is not NULL.
I am sorry my last patch for this issue is actually wrong. I revert
it in this patch.

When searching for symbols the only check performed was if
offset equals st_value. Adding an additional check to see if st_name
points t a valid name made us sort out a few more false positives and
let us report more correct names in warnings.

Building an allmodconfig kernel for ppc64 revealed a number of false
positives - originally reported by Andrew Morton.
This patch removes most if not all false positives for ppc64:
Section .opd
The .opd section contains function descriptors at least for ppc64.
So ignore it for .init.text (was ignored for .exit.text).
See description of function descriptors here:
http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi-1.7.html
Section .toc1
ppc64 places some static variables in .toc1 - ignore the.
Section __bug_tabe
BUG() and friends uses __bug_table. Ignore warnings from that section.
Module parameters are placed in .data.rel for ppc64, for adjust pattern to
match on section named .data*
Tested with gcc: 3.4.0 and binutils 2.15.90.0.3

In several cases the section mismatch check triggered false warnings.
Following patch introduce a whitelist to 'false positives' are not warned of.
Two types of patterns are recognised:
1) Typical case when a module parameter is _initdata
2) When a function pointer is assigned to a driver structure
In both patterns we rely on the actual name of the variable assigned

Andrew Morton reported a number of false positives for ia64 - like these:
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind.init.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .IA_64.unwind.exit.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind after '' (at offset 0x1e8)
They are all false positives - or at least the .c code looks OK.
It is not known why sometimes a section name is appended and sometimes not.
Fix is to accept references from all sections that includes "unwind." in the name.

The kernel now requires that CC be 3.1.0 or higher. But we shouldn't place
that requirement upon HOSTCC unless we really need to. Fixes my ia64 problem.

Do not try to look up section name until we know it is not a special
section. Otherwise we will address outside legal space and segfault.

Section mismatch is identified as references to .init*
sections from non .init sections. And likewise references
to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections.
.init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized
and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates.
.exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and
thus references to .exit are also oops candidates.
The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which
called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and
reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality
inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted.
They will though be kept for a while so users can do double
checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts
so result is not 1:1.
All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented
the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost.
Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run
for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but
the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain
symbol information from a second external module when a
external module is build.
The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but
that may be impractical in certain cases.
With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one
external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available
for another external module.

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.

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.

Instead of playing all of these hand-coded assembler aliasing games,
just translate symbol names in the name space ".sym" to "_Sym" at

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
