  • 91d35dd93   moduleparam: fix alpha, ia64 and ppc64 compile failures ... Browse Code »

    On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into
    read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global
    generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for
    struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile
    failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where
    param_set/get are local functions.

    This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8964

  • 9774a1f54   [PATCH] Compile-time check re world-writeable module params ... Browse Code »

    One of the mistakes a module_param() user can make is to supply default
    value of module parameter as the last argument. module_param() accepts
    permissions instead. If default value is, say, 3 (-------wx), parameter
    becomes world-writeable.

    So far, the only remedy was to apply grep(1) and read drivers submitted
    to -mm. BTDT.

    With this patch applied, compiler will finally do some job.

    *) bounds checking on permissions
    *) world-writeable bit checking on permissions
    *) compile breakage if checks trigger

    First version of this check (only "& 2" part) directly caught 4 out of 7
    places during my last grep.

  • 367cb7042   kbuild: un-stringnify KBUILD_MODNAME ... Browse Code »

    Now when kbuild passes KBUILD_MODNAME with "" do not __stringify it when
    used. Remove __stringnify for all users.
    This also fixes the output of:

    $ ls -l /sys/module/
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 pcmcia
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 pcmcia_core
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 "processor"
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 2006-01-05 14:24 "psmouse"

    The quoting of the module names will be gone again.
    Thanks to GregKH + Kay Sievers for reproting this.

    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!
