[PATCH] null-terminate over-long /proc/kallsyms symbols

2006-07-15T04:53:52Z

Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out right. A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

[PATCH] Add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL

2006-06-28T21:59:04Z

Temporarily add EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL and EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL_GPL. These will be used as a transition measure for symbols that aren't used in the kernel and are on the way out. When a module uses such a symbol, a warning is printk'd at modprobe time. The main reason for removing unused exports is size: eacho export takes roughly between 100 and 150 bytes of kernel space in the binary. This patch gives users the option to immediately get this size gain via a config option. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] x86_64: reliable stack trace support

2006-06-26T17:48:17Z

These are the generic bits needed to enable reliable stack traces based on Dwarf2-like (.eh_frame) unwind information. Subsequent patches will enable x86-64 and i386 to make use of this. Thanks to Andi Kleen and Ingo Molnar, who pointed out several possibilities for improvement. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

* git://git.infradead.org/hdrcleanup-2.6: (63 commits) [S390] __FD_foo definitions. Switch to __s32 types in joystick.h instead of C99 types for consistency. Add to headers included for userspace in Move inclusion of out of user scope in asm-x86_64/mtrr.h Remove struct fddi_statistics from user view in Move user-visible parts of drivers/s390/crypto/z90crypt.h to include/asm-s390 Revert include/media changes: Mauro says those ioctls are only used in-kernel(!) Include and use __uXX types in Use __uXX types in , include too Remove private struct dx_hash_info from public view in Include and use __uXX types in Use __uXX types in for struct divert_blk et al. Use __u32 for elf_addr_t in , not u32. It's user-visible. Remove PPP_FCS from user view in , remove __P mess entirely Use __uXX types in user-visible structures in Don't use 'u32' in user-visible struct ip_conntrack_old_tuple. Use __uXX types for S390 DASD volume label definitions which are user-visible S390 BIODASDREADCMB ioctl should use __u64 not u64 type. Remove unneeded inclusion of from Fix private integer types used in V4L2 ioctls. ... Manually resolve conflict in include/linux/mtd/physmap.h

Finally remove the obnoxious inter_module_xxx()

This was already a bad plan when I argued against adding it in the first place. Good riddance. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

[PATCH] Remove MODULE_PARM

2006-03-25T16:22:52Z

MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the most unloved drivers anyway. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
