The documentation currently says we will use the first function in a section
as a reference. The actual algorithm is: choose the first global function we
meet as a reference. If there is none, choose the first local one.
Change the documentation to be consistent with the code.
Also add several other clarifications.

Ingo reported that the following lines triggered a false warning,
static struct lock_class_key rcu_lock_key;
struct lockdep_map rcu_lock_map =
STATIC_LOCKDEP_MAP_INIT("rcu_read_lock", &rcu_lock_key);
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
from kernel/rcutree.c , and the false warning looked like this,
WARNING: EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo); should immediately follow its
function/variable
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(rcu_lock_map);
We actually should be checking the statement before the EXPORT_* for a
mention of the exported object, and complain where it is not there.

In the following code,
union thread_union init_thread_union
__attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) =
{ INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task) };
There is a non-conforming declaration. It should really be like the
following,
union thread_union init_thread_union
__attribute__((__section__(".data.init_task"))) = {
INIT_THREAD_INFO(init_task)
};
However, checkpatch doesn't catch this right now because it doesn't
correctly evaluate the "__attribute__".
It is not at all clear that we care what preceeds an assignment style
attribute when we find the open brace. Relax the test so we do not need
to check the __attribute__.

The macro concatenation (##) sequence can cause false errors when checking
macro's. Checkpatch doesn't currently know about the operator.
For example this line,
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data; \
is correct but it produces the following error,
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxB)
+ entry = (struct ftrace_raw_##call *)raw_data;\
^
The line above doesn't have any spacing problems, and if you remove the
macro concatenation sequence checkpatch doesn't give any errors.
Extend identifier handling to include ## concatenation within the
definition of an identifier.

Add a simple utility (scripts/selinux/genheaders) and invoke it to
generate the kernel-private class and permission indices in flask.h
and av_permissions.h automatically during the kernel build from the
security class mapping definitions in classmap.h. Adding new kernel
classes and permissions can then be done just by adding them to classmap.h.

Modify SELinux to dynamically discover class and permission values
upon policy load, based on the dynamic object class/perm discovery
logic from libselinux. A mapping is created between kernel-private
class and permission indices used outside the security server and the
policy values used within the security server.
The mappings are only applied upon kernel-internal computations;
similar mappings for the private indices of userspace object managers
is handled on a per-object manager basis by the userspace AVC. The
interfaces for compute_av and transition_sid are split for kernel
vs. userspace; the userspace functions are distinguished by a _user
suffix.
The kernel-private class indices are no longer tied to the policy
values and thus do not need to skip indices for userspace classes;
thus the kernel class index values are compressed. The flask.h
definitions were regenerated by deleting the userspace classes from
refpolicy's definitions and then regenerating the headers. Going
forward, we can just maintain the flask.h, av_permissions.h, and
classmap.h definitions separately from policy as they are no longer
tied to the policy values. The next patch introduces a utility to
automate generation of flask.h and av_permissions.h from the
classmap.h definitions.
The older kernel class and permission string tables are removed and
replaced by a single security class mapping table that is walked at
policy load to generate the mapping. The old kernel class validation
logic is completely replaced by the mapping logic.
The handle unknown logic is reworked. reject_unknown=1 is handled
when the mappings are computed at policy load time, similar to the old
handling by the class validation logic. allow_unknown=1 is handled
when computing and mapping decisions - if the permission was not able
to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then it is
automatically added to the allowed vector. If the class was not able
to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then all permissions
are allowed for it if allow_unknown=1.
avc_audit leverages the new security class mapping table to lookup the
class and permission names from the kernel-private indices.
The mdp program is updated to use the new table when generating the
class definitions and allow rules for a minimal boot policy for the
kernel. It should be noted that this policy will not include any
userspace classes, nor will its policy index values for the kernel
classes correspond with the ones in refpolicy (they will instead match
the kernel-private indices).

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.

Commit b478b782e1 "kallsyms, tracing: output

in kallsyms in my configurations.
The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts
to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them. As a result,
it just uselessly runs past the end of the buffer until it crashes:
CC init/version.o
LD init/built-in.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
KSYM .tmp_kallsyms1.S
/bin/sh: line 1: 16934 Done sh-linux-gnu-nm -n .tmp_vmlinux1
16935 Segmentation fault | scripts/kallsyms > .tmp_kallsyms1.S

Adding a reference to <linux/linkage.h> to x86's <asm/cache.h> causes
the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and
ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those.
One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any
solution based on that approach would be fragile.
Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something
different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are
clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for
the two (ENTRY being an excellent example).
So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor
definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__
for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in
linker scripts.
I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in
the future.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation

When typeahead find is enabled, using 'y', 'n' and 'm' to change the status

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of

If a config that does not have a prompt needs to be set to enable a

Note, streamline_config.pl does not enable modules that are not already
enabled. It only keeps enabled those that were enabled and might be
needed to compile the current modules.
The code to find the selects of a config is after the code that

streamline_config.pl is a very powerful tool. For those that install
a kernel to a new box using the config file from the distribution know that
it can take forever to compile the kernel.
Making a custom config file that will still boot your box, but bring
down the compile time of the kernel can be quit painful, and to ask
someone that reported a bug to do this can be a large burdon since that
person may not even know how to build a kernel.
This script will perform "lsmod" to find all the modules loaded on the
current running system. It will read all the Makefiles to map which
CONFIG enables a module. It will read the Kconfig files to find the
dependencies and selects that may be needed to support a CONFIG.
Finally, it reads the .config file and removes any module "=m" that is
not needed to enable the currently loaded modules. The output goes to
standard out.
Here's a way to run the script. From the Linux directory that holds
a distribution .config.
$ scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl arch/x86/Kconfig > config-sl
$ mv .config config-save
$ mv config-sl .config
$ make oldconfig
Now you have a .config that will still build all your modules, but also
take much less time to build the kernel.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific.
Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called:
LM93_IN_FROM_REG()
But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones
you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have:
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>:
0: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0
4: fb 81 ff e0 std r28,-32(r1)
The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols
that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly
stage.
The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows
the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the
--synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a
local.
Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a
reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a
reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if
that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink
the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case,
we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert
the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it
back to a local symbol.
This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted
into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain
unresolved.
