      kallsyms: fix absolute addresses for kASLR · 0f55159d
      Andy Honig authored 
      
Currently symbols that are absolute addresses are incorrectly displayed
in /proc/kallsyms if the kernel is loaded with kASLR.

The problem was that the scripts/kallsyms.c file which generates the
array of symbol names and addresses uses an relocatable value for all
symbols, even absolute symbols.  This patch fixes that.

Several kallsyms output in different boot states for comparison:

  $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.nokaslr
  0000000000000000 D __per_cpu_start
  0000000000014280 D __per_cpu_end
  ffffffff810001c8 T _stext
  $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr1
  000000001f200000 D __per_cpu_start
  000000001f214280 D __per_cpu_end
  ffffffffa02001c8 T _stext
  $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr2
  000000000d400000 D __per_cpu_start
  000000000d414280 D __per_cpu_end
  ffffffff8e4001c8 T _stext
  $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr-fixed
  0000000000000000 D __per_cpu_start
  0000000000014280 D __per_cpu_end

      scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: fix flags for initramfs LZ4 compression · 5ec384d4
      Daniel M. Weeks authored 
      
LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now
used by the reference implementation of LZ4.  Until the in-kernel method
is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to
the compressor is necessary.  Without this flag the kernel-generated,
LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk.

Kyungsik said:

: It seems that lz4 supports legacy format with the same option as lz4c
: does.  Just looking at the first few bytes of lz4 compressed image, we can
: see whether it is new format or not.
:
: It shows new format magic number without this patch.  New format magic
: number is 0x184d2204.
:
: $ hexdump -C ./initramfs_data.cpio.lz4 |more
: 00000000  04 22 4d 18 64 70 b9 69 (Little Endian)
: ...
:
: Currently kernel supports legacy format only.

      kbuild: dtbs_install: new make target · f4d4ffc0
      Jason Cooper authored 
      
Unlike other build products in the Linux kernel, there is no 'make
*install' mechanism to put devicetree blobs in a standard place.

This commit adds a new 'dtbs_install' make target which copies all of
the dtbs into the INSTALL_DTBS_PATH directory. INSTALL_DTBS_PATH can be
set before calling make to change the default install directory. If not
set then it defaults to:

	$INSTALL_PATH/dtbs/$KERNELRELEASE.

This is done to keep dtbs from different kernel versions separate until
things have settled down.  Once the dtbs are stable, and not so strongly
linked to the kernel version, the devicetree files will most likely move
to their own repo.  Users will need to upgrade install scripts at that
time.

v7: (reworked by Grant Likely)
- Moved rules from arch/arm/Makefile to arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile so
  that each dtb install could have a separate target and be reported as
  part of the make output.
- Fixed dependency problem to ensure $KERNELRELEASE is calculated before
  attempting to install
- Removed option to call external script. Copying the files should be
  sufficient and a build system can post-process the install directory.
  Despite the fact an external script is used for installing the kernel,
  I don't think that is a pattern that should be encouraged. I would
  rather see buildroot type tools post process the install directory to
  rename or move dtb files after installing to a staging directory.
  - Plus it is easy to add a hook after the fact without blocking the
    rest of this feature.
- Move the helper targets into scripts/Makefile.lib with the rest of the
  common dtb rules

      of: Move testcase FDT data into drivers/of · b5190516
      Grant Likely authored 
      
The testcase data is usable by any platform. This patch moves it into
the drivers/of directory so it can be included by any architecture.

Using the test cases requires manually adding #include <testcases.dtsi>
to the end of the boards .dtsi file and enabling CONFIG_OF_SELFTEST. Not
pretty though. A useful project would be to make the testcase code
easier to execute.

      Modpost: fixed USB alias generation for ranges including 0x9 and 0xA · 03b56329
      Jan Moskyto Matejka authored 
      
Commit afe2dab4 ("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 <= 0x9 and y >= 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.
