[PATCH v4 1/2] kbuild: modversions: add infrastructure for emitting relative CRCs

Tue Jan 24 08:16:39 PST 2017


This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit
vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to other locations in the kernel
where the actual values are stored. This works around problems with CRCs
being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at
runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y)

For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following:
- introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS
- adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols
  as references into the .rodata section, and emitting the actual value
  into it
- making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by
  the section index (SHN_ABS)
- making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix
