The check_modstruct_version() needs to look up the symbol "module_layout"
in the kernel, but it does so literally and not by a C identifier. The
trouble is that it does not include a symbol prefix for those ports that
need it (like the Blackfin and H8300 port). So make sure we tack on the
MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX define to the front of it.

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).
Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.
This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.
Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called
before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks
modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code
is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF.
To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented
the hooks as calls directly from the module code.
After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up
notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes
the use of the notify safe with ftrace.
Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply
removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify
any code.
This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency
in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we
synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to
mount root filesystems etc.
However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the
module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished
probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to
use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken.
We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code,
where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped
the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running.
That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit
5d38258ec0 "ACPI battery: fix async boot
oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all
async work to be completed.
It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be
built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle
from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple
fix to wait is the right one.
This fixes at least
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063
but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and
is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug
report (no bugzilla entry).
We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix.

Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> discovered that boot times are slowed
by about half a second because all the stop_machine_create() calls,
and he only probes about 40 modules (I have 125 loaded on this laptop).
We only do stop_machine_create() so we can unlink the module if
something goes wrong, but it's overkill (and buggy anyway: if
stop_machine_create() fails we still call stop_machine_destroy()).
Since we are only protecting against kallsyms (esp. oops) walking the
list, synchronize_sched() is sufficient (synchronize_rcu() is probably
sufficient, but we're not in a hurry).
Kay says of this patch:
... no module takes more than 40 millisecs to link now, most of
them are between 3 and 8 millisecs.
That looks very different to the numbers without this patch
and the otherwise same setup, where we get heavy noise in the
traces and many delays of up to 200 millisecs until linking,
most of them taking 30+ millisecs.

2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.

Impact: fix crash on reading from /sys/module/.../ieee80211_default_rc_algo
The module_param type "charp" simply sets a char * pointer in the
module to the parameter in the commandline string: this is why we keep
the (mangled) module command line around. But when set via sysfs (as
about 11 charp parameters can be) this memory is freed on the way
out of the write(). Future reads hit random mem.
So we kstrdup instead: we have to check we're not in early commandline
parsing, and we have to note when we've used it so we can reliably
kfree the parameter when it's next overwritten, and also on module
unload.

Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
percpu variables
This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.
If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.
If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is

Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines.
This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() &
percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage.
Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use
nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes.
On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce
size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module)
Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses
because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better
NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node,

This series of patches allows kprobes to probe module's __init and __exit
functions. This means, you can probe driver initialization and
terminating.
Currently, kprobes can't probe __init function because these functions are
freed after module initialization. And it also can't probe module __exit
functions because kprobe increments reference count of target module and
user can't unload it. this means __exit functions never be called unless
removing probes from the module.
To solve both cases, this series of patches introduces GONE flag and sets
it when the target code is freed(for this purpose, kprobes hooks
MODULE_STATE_* events). This also removes refcount incrementing for
allowing user to unload target module. Users can check which probes are
GONE by debugfs interface. For taking timing of freeing module's .init
text, these also include a patch which adds module's notifier of
MODULE_STATE_LIVE event.
This patch:
Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an
address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace
within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them.
kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

When there are two symbols in a module with the same name, one of which is
exported, both will be marked as exported in /proc/kallsyms. There aren't
any instances of this in the current kernel, but it is easy to construct a
simple module with two compilation units that exhibits the problem.
$ objdump -j .text -t testmod.ko | grep foo
00000000 l F .text 00000032 foo
00000080 g F .text 00000001 foo
$ sudo insmod testmod.ko
$ grep "T foo" /proc/kallsyms
c28e8000 T foo [testmod]
c28e8080 T foo [testmod]
