From d4786110d8858b609ef8b1df33057dc754469f22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank Rowand Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2012 17:59:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] modpost: Fix modpost license checking of vmlinux.o Commit 12a708dae0b5 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols placing each of them in its own elf section. This sorting and merging into the canonical sections are done by the linker. Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o (which is not linked yet) 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. [ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the problem, copied from commit 37d2aeedbdad ("modpost: Fix modpost's license checking V3"). That commit fixed the problem for module object files, but not for vmlinux.o. This patch fixes modpost for vmlinux.o. ] Signed-off-by: Frank Rowand Signed-off-by: Alessio Igor Bogani Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- scripts/mod/modpost.c | 7 +++++-- scripts/mod/modpost.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.c b/scripts/mod/modpost.c index 3f01fd9087308..c4e7d1510f9df 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.c +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.c @@ -132,8 +132,10 @@ static struct module *new_module(char *modname) /* strip trailing .o */ s = strrchr(p, '.'); if (s != NULL) - if (strcmp(s, ".o") == 0) + if (strcmp(s, ".o") == 0) { *s = '\0'; + mod->is_dot_o = 1; + } /* add to list */ mod->name = p; @@ -587,7 +589,8 @@ static void handle_modversions(struct module *mod, struct elf_info *info, unsigned int crc; enum export export; - if (!is_vmlinux(mod->name) && strncmp(symname, "__ksymtab", 9) == 0) + if ((!is_vmlinux(mod->name) || mod->is_dot_o) && + strncmp(symname, "__ksymtab", 9) == 0) export = export_from_secname(info, get_secindex(info, sym)); else export = export_from_sec(info, get_secindex(info, sym)); diff --git a/scripts/mod/modpost.h b/scripts/mod/modpost.h index 2031119080dce..51207e4d5f8bc 100644 --- a/scripts/mod/modpost.h +++ b/scripts/mod/modpost.h @@ -113,6 +113,7 @@ struct module { int has_cleanup; struct buffer dev_table_buf; char srcversion[25]; + int is_dot_o; }; struct elf_info { -- 2.39.5
