  • 6c2545eef   module: put modversions in vermagic ... Browse Code »

    Don't allow a module built without versions altogether to be inserted
    into a kernel which expects modversions.

    modprobe --force will strip vermagic as well as modversions, so it
    won't be effected, but this will make sure that a
    non-CONFIG_MODVERSIONS module won't be accidentally inserted into a
    CONFIG_MODVERSIONS kernel.

  • 63104eec2   kbuild: introduce utsrelease.h ... Browse Code »

    include/linux/version.h contained both actual KERNEL version
    and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when
    kernel was compiled as part of a git repository.
    This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h
    would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1.
    Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files.

    Also update checkversion.pl script to no longer check for UTS_RELEASE.

  • 5ac90c9f7   [PATCH] module support: record in vermagic ability to unload a module ... Browse Code »

    An UML user reported (against 2.6.13.3/UML) he got kernel Oopses when
    trying to rmmod (on a kernel with module unloading enabled) a module
    compiled with module unloading disabled. As crashing is a very correct
    thing to do in that case, a solution is altering the vermagic string to
    include this too.

    Possibly, however, the code should not crash in this case, even if the
    module didn't support unloading - it should simply abort the module
    removal. In this case, fixing that bug would be a better solution. I've
    not investigated though.

    (akpm: a bit marginal - root screwed up and shot himself in the foot).

    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!
