The patch below works fine (at least with Debian). It needs your first
patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h. Verified that
aliases for these modules are generated correctly:

drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c
drivers/net/ne.c
drivers/net/3c515.c
drivers/net/smc-ultra.c
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
drivers/scsi/aha152x.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c
drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c

Tested with RTL8019AS (ne), AVA-1505AE (aha152x) and dtc436e (g_NCR5380)
cards - they now work automatically.

Generate pnp:d aliases for isapnp_device_tables. This allows udev to load
these modules automatically.

We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will
load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good
enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise
the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

3a5dd791ab modpost: fix segfault in sym_is() with prefixed arches
The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol
prefixes.  It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal
unprefixed symbol.  But then it uses the length of the original symbol to
check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is
looking for.  On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing,
so there is no problem.  On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just
one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways.  But every
once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults.

For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real
symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal
symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name".  The substring will thus return
one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match".  But then "match" will
be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will
exceed the storage.  i.e. the code ends up doing:
	char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0';

9e1b9b8072 module: make MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX into a CONFIG option
The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S.  Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h".  Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.

This also lets modpost.c use the same definition.  Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.

A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged.  vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

This patch fixes a bug when incrementing/decrementing on a BCD formatted
integer (i.e. 0x09++ should be 0x10 not 0x0A).  It just adds a function
for incrementing/decrementing BCD integers by converting to decimal,
doing the increment/decrement and then converting back to BCD.

afe2dab4f6 USB: add hex/bcd detection to usb modalias generation
The current code to generate usb modaliases from usb_device_id assumes
that the device's bcdDevice descriptor will actually be in BCD format.
While this should be a sane assumption, some devices don't follow spec
and just use plain old hex.  This causes drivers for these devices to
generate invalid modalias lines which will never actually match for the
hardware.

The following patch adds hex support for bcdDevice in file2alias.c by
detecting when a driver uses a hex formatted bcdDevice_(lo|hi) and
adjusts the output to hex format accordingly.

Drivers for devices which have bcdDevice conforming to BCD will have no
change in modalias output.  Drivers for devices which don't conform
(i.e. ibmcam) should now generate valid modaliases.

EXAMPLE OUTPUT (ibmcam; space added to highlight change)
    Old: usb:v0545p800D d030[10-9] dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*
    New: usb:v0545p800D d030a      dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*

75368bf6c2 spi: add support for device table matching
With this patch spi drivers can use standard spi_driver.id_table and
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() mechanisms to bind against the devices.  Just like
we do with I2C drivers.

This is useful when a single driver supports several variants of devices
but it is not possible to detect them in run-time (like non-JEDEC chips
probing in drivers/mtd/devices/m25p80.c), and when platform_data usage is
overkill.

This patch also makes life a lot easier on OpenFirmware platforms, since
with OF we extensively use proper device IDs in modaliases.

Jean reported that he saw one warning for each module like the one below:
WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section.

The warning appeared with the improved version of the
check of the flags in the sections.

That check already ignored sections named ".comment" - but SUSE store
additional info in the comment section and has named it in a SUSE
specific way. Therefore modpost failed to ignore the section.

The fix is to extend the pattern so we ignore all sections
that start with the name ".comment.".

b614a697dc kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch missing "ax"/"aw"
When you put
  .section ".foo"
in an assembly file instead of
  .section "foo", "ax"
, one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an
ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela().
But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that
has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated
sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.

On mips it fixes a lot of bogus warnings with gcc 4.4.0 lije this one:
WARNING: crypto/cryptd.o (.text.T.349): unexpected section name.

So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular
pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section
flags.

99e3a1eb3c kbuild: fix Module.markers permission error under cygwin
While building the kernel, we end-up calling modpost with -K and -M
options for the same file (Modules.markers).  This is resulting in
modpost's main function calling read_markers() and then write_markers() on
the same file.

We then have read_markers() mmap'ing the file, and writer_markers()
opening that same file for writing.

The issue is that read_markers() exits without munmap'ing the file and is
as a matter holding a reference on Modules.markers.  When write_markers()
is opening that very same file for writing, we still have a reference on
it and cygwin (Windows?) is then making fopen() fail with EPERM.

Calling release_file() before exiting read_markers() clears that reference
(and memory leak) and fopen() then succeeds.

Tested on both cygwin (1.3.22) and Linux.  Also ran modpost within
valgrind on Linux to make sure that the munmap'ed file was not accessed
after read_markers()

8c8ef42aee module: include other structures in module version check
With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, we version 'struct module' using a dummy
export, but other things matter too:

1) 'struct modversion_info' determines the layout of the __versions section,
2) 'struct kernel_param' determines the layout of the __params section,
3) 'struct kernel_symbol' determines __ksymtab*.
4) 'struct marker' determines __markers.
5) 'struct tracepoint' determines __tracepoints.

So we rename 'struct_module' to 'module_layout' and include these in
the signature.  Now it's general we can add others later on without
confusion.

57fee4a58f platform: introduce module id table for platform devices
Now platform_device is being widely used on SoC processors where the
peripherals are attached to the system bus, which is simple enough.

However, silicon IPs for these SoCs are usually shared heavily across
a family of processors, even products from different companies.  This
makes the original simple driver name based matching insufficient, or
simply not straight-forward.

Introduce a module id table for platform devices, and makes it clear
that a platform driver is able to support some shared IP and handle
slight differences across different platforms (by 'driver_data').
Module alias is handled automatically when a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
is defined.

To not disturb the current platform drivers too much, the matched id
entry is recorded and can be retrieved by platform_get_device_id().

56fc82c536 modpost: NOBITS sections may point beyond the end of the file
Impact: fix link failure on certain toolchains with specific configs

Recent percpu change made x86_64 split .data.init section into three
separate segments - data.init, percpu and data.init2.  data.init2 gets
.data.nosave and .bss.* and is followed by .notes segment.  Depending
on configuration both segments might contain no data, in which case
the tool chain makes the section header to contain offset beyond the
end of the file.

modpost isn't too happy about it and fails build - as reported by
Pawel Dziekonski:

    Building modules, stage 2.
    MODPOST 416 modules
    FATAL: vmlinux is truncated. sechdrs[i].sh_offset=10354688 >
    sizeof(*hrd)=64
    make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

Teach modpost that NOBITS section may point beyond the end of the file
and that .modinfo can't be NOBITS.

e6e6733ed9 kbuild: prevent modpost from looking for a .cmd file for a static library linked into a module
This fixes a compile time warning which occurs whenever a static library
is linked into a kernel module.  MODPOST tries to look for a
".<modulename>.cmd" file to look for its dependencies, but that file
doesn't exist or get generated for static libraries.

This patch prevents modpost from looking for a .cmd file when a module is
linked with a static library

d945b697d0 Automatic MODULE_ALIAS() for DMI match tables.
This makes modpost handle MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, xxxx).

I had to change the string pointers in the match table to char arrays,
and picked a size of 79 bytes almost at random -- do we need to make it
bigger than that? I was a bit concerned about the 'bloat' this
introduces into the match tables, but they should all be __initdata so
it shouldn't matter too much.

(Actually, modpost does go through the relocations and look at most of
them; it wouldn't be impossible to make it handle string pointers -- but
doesn't seem to be worth the effort, since they're __initdata).

a9860bf05f Staging: add TAINT_CRAP flag to drivers/staging modules
We need to add a flag for all code that is in the drivers/staging/
directory to prevent all other kernel developers from worrying about
issues here, and to notify users that the drivers might not be as good
as they are normally used to.

Based on code from Andreas Gruenbacher and Jeff Mahoney to provide a
TAINT flag for the support level of a kernel module in the Novell
enterprise kernel release.

This is the code that actually modifies the modules, adding the flag to
any files in the drivers/staging directory.

I think the problem comes from "markers: fix duplicate modpost entry"
(commit d35cb360c2)

Especially :

  -   add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
  +   if (!mod->skip)
  +     add_marker(mod, marker, fmt);
    }
    return;
   fail:

Here is a fix that should take care if this problem.
