2014-04-23powerpc/modules: Create module_trampoline_target()Anton Blanchard
ftrace has way too much knowledge of our kernel module trampoline layout hidden inside it. Create module_trampoline_target() that gives the target address of a kernel module trampoline. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
2014-04-23powerpc/modules: Create is_module_trampoline()Anton Blanchard
ftrace has way too much knowledge of our kernel module trampoline layout hidden inside it. Create is_module_trampoline() that can abstract this away inside the module loader code. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
2014-04-23powerpc: Fix up TOC. for modules.Rusty Russell
The kernel resolved the '.TOC.' to a fake symbol, so we need to fix it up to point to our .toc section plus 0x8000. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2013-07-24powerpc/modules: Module CRC relocation fix causes perf issuesAnton Blanchard
Module CRCs are implemented as absolute symbols that get resolved by a linker script. We build an intermediate .o that contains an unresolved symbol for each CRC. genksysms parses this .o, calculates the CRCs and writes a linker script that "resolves" the symbols to the calculated CRC. Unfortunately the ppc64 relocatable kernel sees these CRCs as symbols that need relocating and relocates them at boot. Commit d4703aef (module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) added a hook to reverse the bogus relocations. Part of this patch created a symbol at 0x0: # head -2 /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T reloc_start c000000000000000 T .__start This reloc_start symbol is causing lots of confusion to perf. It thinks reloc_start is a massive function that stretches from 0x0 to 0xc000000000000000 and we get various cryptic errors out of perf, including: problem incrementing symbol count, skipping event This patch removes the reloc_start linker script label and instead defines it as PHYSICAL_START. We also need to wrap it with CONFIG_PPC64 because the ppc32 kernel can set a non zero PHYSICAL_START at compile time and we wouldn't want to subtract it from the CRCs in that case.

2012-09-28Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.hDavid Howells
Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela, ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS. Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible. To this end, I've defined three new config bools: (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic mod_arch_specific struct. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records. This causes the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records. This causes the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message. Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are two arches that do this. With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file. Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

2009-12-15module: handle ppc64 relocating kcrctabs when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=yRusty Russell
powerpc applies relocations to the kcrctab. They're absolute symbols, but it's not completely unreasonable: other archs may too, but the relocation is often 0. http://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2009-November/077972.html Inspired-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Tested-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2008-11-20powerpc/ppc32: ftrace, dynamic ftrace to handle modulesSteven Rostedt
Impact: add ability to trace modules on 32 bit PowerPC This patch performs the necessary trampoline calls to handle modules with dynamic ftrace on 32 bit PowerPC. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2008-11-20powerpc/ppc64: ftrace, handle module trampolines for dyn ftraceSteven Rostedt
Impact: Allow 64 bit PowerPC to trace modules with dynamic ftrace This adds code to handle the PPC64 module trampolines, and allows for PPC64 to use dynamic ftrace. Thanks to Paul Mackerras for these updates: - fix the mod and rec->arch.mod NULL checks. - fix to is_bl_op compare. Thanks to Milton Miller for: - finding the nasty race with using two nops, and recommending instead that I use a branch 8 forward. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2008-08-04powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asmStephen Rothwell
from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
