Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
"More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization

upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should

Commit 78551277e4df5: "Input: i8042 - add PNP modaliases" had a bug, where the
second call to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() overrode the first resulting in not all
the modaliases being exposed.This fixes the problem by including the name of the device_id table in the
__mod_*_device_table alias, allowing us to export several device_id tables

The x86 CPU feature modalias handling existed before it was reimplemented
generically. This patch aligns the x86 handling so that it
(a) reuses some more code that is now generic;
(b) uses the generic format for the modalias module metadata entry, i.e., it
now uses 'cpu:type:x86,venVVVVfamFFFFmodMMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' instead of
the 'x86cpu:vendor:VVVV:family:FFFF:model:MMMM:feature:,XXXX,YYYY' that was
used before.Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

This patch adds support for advertising optional CPU features over udev
using the modalias, and for declaring compatibility with/dependency upon
such a feature in a module.The mapping between feature numbers and actual features should be provided
by the architecture in a file called which exports the
following functions/macros:
- cpu_feature(FEAT), a preprocessor macro that maps token FEAT to a
numeric index;
- bool cpu_have_feature(n), returning whether this CPU has support for
feature #n;
- MAX_CPU_FEATURES, an upper bound for 'n' in the previous function.The feature can then be enabled by setting CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_AUTOPROBE
for the architecture.For instance, a module that registers its module init function using
module_cpu_feature_match(FEAT_X, module_init_function)
will be probed automatically when the CPU's support for the 'FEAT_X'
feature is advertised over udev, and will only allow the module to be
loaded by hand if the 'FEAT_X' feature is supported.Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

Commit afe2dab4f6 ("USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation")
changed the routine that generates alias ranges. Before that change, only
digits 0-9 were supported; the commit tried to fix the case when the range
includes higher values than 0x9.Unfortunately, the commit didn't fix the case when the range includes both
0x9 and 0xA, meaning that the final range must look like [x-9A-y] where
x = 0xA -- instead the [x-9A-x] range was produced.Modprobe doesn't complain as it sees no difference between no-match and
bad-pattern results of fnmatch().Fixing this simple bug to fix the aliases.
Also changing the hardcoded beginning of the range to uppercase as all the
other letters are also uppercase in the device version numbers.Fortunately, this affects only the dvb-usb-dib0700 module, AFAIK.

Commit ea4054a23 (modpost: handle huge numbers of modules) added
support for building a large number of modules.Unfortunately, the commit changed the semantics of the makefile: Instead of
passing only existing object files to modpost, make now passes all expected
object files. If make was started with option -i, this results in a modpost
error if a single file failed to build.Example with the current btrfs build falure on m68k:
fs/btrfs/btrfs.o: No such file or directory
make[1]: [__modpost] Error 1 (ignored)This error is followed by lots of errors such as:
m68k-linux-gcc: error: arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.c: No such file or directory
m68k-linux-gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make[1]: [arch/m68k/emu/nfcon.mod.o] Error 1 (ignored)This doesn't matter much for normal builds, but it is annoying for builds
started with "make -i" due to the large number of secondary errors.
Those errors unnececessarily clog any error log and make it difficult
to find the real errors in the build.Fix the problem by adding a new parameter '-n' to modpost. If this parameter
is specified, modpost reports but ignores missing object files.With this patch, error output from above problem is (with make -i):
m68k-linux-ld: cannot find fs/btrfs/ioctl.o: No such file or directory
make[2]: [fs/btrfs/btrfs.o] Error 1 (ignored)

Fix symbol versioning on architectures with symbol prefixes. Although
the build was free from warnings the actual modules still wouldn't load
as the ____versions table contained unprefixed symbol names, which were
being compared against the prefixed symbol names when checking the
symbol versions.This is fixed by modifying modpost to add the symbol prefix to the
____versions table it outputs (Modules.symvers still contains unprefixed
symbol names). The check_modstruct_version() function is also fixed as
it checks the version of the unprefixed "module_layout" symbol which
would no longer work.Signed-off-by: James Hogan

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
for pasting.(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell
