This means (most) future busses need only have one hunk in their
patch. Also took the opportunity to check that function matches the
type.Again, inspired by Alessandro's patch series.

We look for symbols of form __mod__device_table, and for all
but three cases we use a standard interation function (do_table) to
walk over the contents and dump out the aliases.Alessandro Rubini did this first, I just repainted the bikeshed a bit.

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

The commit f02e8a6 sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section.
The sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker.
Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux
(already linked) and all modules object files (which aren't linked yet).
These aren't sanitized by the linker yet. That breaks modpost that can't
detect license properly for modules. This patch makes modpost aware of
the new exported symbols structure.Thanks to Arnaud Lacombe and Anders Kaseorg
for providing useful suggestions about code.This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.

Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it
writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance
with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools.
Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE
and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through
SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the
st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are
stored. See:http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5900

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a
programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does
not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We
decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean.In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and
registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for
specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver
itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core
driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct
initialization.Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however
the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host
abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e).Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to
80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still
optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later
without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO
used for accessing cores on the bus.Cc: Greg KH

This patch fixes a segfault in modpost that is observed when the gold
linker is used to link the input objects.The problem is that reloc_location (modpost.c) is computing the
address of the relocation target incorrectly. Here, elf->hdr points
to the beginning of the ELF file in memory, sechdr points to the
relocation section header, section is the index of the section
being relocated, and sechdrs[section].sh_offset would be the offset
of that section, relative to the beginning of the ELF file. Adding
elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset gives you the address of the
beginning of the section, and adding r->r_offset to that gives you the
address of the location to be relocated. You do not need to subtract
sechdrs[section].sh_addr from that -- the result of this is an address
outside the file, and causes the segfault when addend_386_rel tries to
dereference it.This bug is not observed when GNU ld is used to link the inputs. The
object file ubuntu/omnibook/omnibook.o is the result of an ld -r of
several other files. When GNU ld does an ld -r, it sets the vaddr
field for each section to 0, but gold lays out the section addresses
sequentially instead:Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Addr Off Size ES Flg Lk Inf Al
[ 0] NULL 00000000 000000 000000 00 0 0 0
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 00000000 000034 004794 00 AX 0 0 4
[ 2] .data PROGBITS 0000b9d0 0047c8 0009c0 00 WA 0 0 4
[ 3] .bss NOBITS 000162f8 005188 00013c 00 WA 0 0 4

It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
