[PATCH] fix Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic

2006-10-11T18:14:21Z

Module taint flags listing in Oops/panic has a couple of issues: * taint_flags() doesn't null-terminate the buffer after printing the flags * per-module taints are only set if the kernel is not already tainted (with that particular flag) => only the first offending module gets its taint info correctly updated Some additional changes: * 'license_gplok' is no longer needed - equivalent to !(taints & TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE) - so we can drop it from struct module * exporting module taint info via /proc/module: pwc 88576 0 - Live 0xf8c32000 evilmod 6784 1 pwc, Live 0xf8bbf000 (PF) Signed-off-by: Florin Malita Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] list module taint flags in Oops/panic

2006-10-02T14:57:12Z

When listing loaded modules during an oops or panic, also list each module's Tainted flags if non-zero (P: Proprietary or F: Forced load only). If a module is did not taint the kernel, it is just listed like usbcore but if it did taint the kernel, it is listed like wizmodem(PF) Example: [ 3260.121718] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP: [ 3260.121729] [] :dump_test:proc_dump_test+0x99/0xc8 [ 3260.121742] PGD fe8d067 PUD 264a6067 PMD 0 [ 3260.121748] Oops: 0002 [1] SMP [ 3260.121753] CPU 1 [ 3260.121756] Modules linked in: dump_test(P) snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_seq snd_seq_device ide_cd generic ohci1394 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_pcm snd_timer snd ieee1394 snd_page_alloc piix ide_core arcmsr aic79xx scsi_transport_spi usblp [ 3260.121785] Pid: 5556, comm: bash Tainted: P 2.6.18-git10 #1 [Alternatively, I can look into listing tainted flags with 'lsmod', but that won't help in oopsen/panics so much.] [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] /sys/modules: allow full length section names

2006-09-29T16:18:23Z

I've been using systemtap for some debugging and I noticed that it can't probe a lot of modules. Turns out it's kind of silly, the sections section of /sys/module is limited to 32byte filenames and many of the actual sections are a a bit longer than that.

[SCSI] MODULE_FIRMWARE for binary firmware(s)

2006-08-30T14:47:27Z

Right now, various kernel modules are being migrated over to use request_firmware in order to pull in binary firmware blobs from userland when the module is loaded. This makes sense. However, there is right now little mechanism in place to automatically determine which binary firmware blobs must be included with a kernel in order to satisfy the prerequisites of these drivers. This affects vendors, but also regular users to a certain extent too. The attached patch introduces MODULE_FIRMWARE as a mechanism for advertising that a particular firmware file is to be loaded - it will then show up via modinfo and could be used e.g. when packaging a kernel.

[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.
