ARC relocatable object files contain one/more .gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.*
sections (collated by kernel/vmlinux.lds into .arcextmap in final link).
This section is used by debuggers to display the extension instructions
and need-not be loaded by target (hence !SHF_ALLOC)The final kernel binary only needs .arcextmap entry in modpost's ignore
list (section_white_list[]). However when building modules, modpost scans
each object file individually, hence tripping on non-aggregated
.gnu.linkonce.arcextmap.* entries as well.Thus need for the 2 entires !

HID devices are only partially presented to userland. Hotplugged
devices emit events containing a modalias based on the basic bus,

using uevent and the device modalias. The module alias generation is
modified to match. As a consequence, a device with a non-zero group
will be processed by the corresponding group driver instead of by the

Commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols

into the canonical sections are done by the linker.Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o

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

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.

This reverts commit 5dd7bf59e0e8563265b3e5b33276099ef628fcc7.
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.

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.Signed-off-by: Dave Martin

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.Cc: K. Y. Srinivasan
