From ea6bff368548d79529421a9dc0710fc5330eb504 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 10:44:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] modules: Fix build error in the !CONFIG_KALLSYMS case MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > James Bottomley (1): > module: workaround duplicate section names -tip testing found that this patch breaks the build on x86 if CONFIG_KALLSYMS is disabled: kernel/module.c: In function ‘load_module’: kernel/module.c:2367: error: ‘struct module’ has no member named ‘sect_attrs’ distcc[8269] ERROR: compile kernel/module.c on ph/32 failed make[1]: *** [kernel/module.o] Error 1 make: *** [kernel] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Commit 1b364bf misses the fact that section attributes are only built and dealt with if kallsyms is enabled. The patch below fixes this. ( note, technically speaking this should depend on CONFIG_SYSFS as well but this patch is correct too and keeps the #ifdef less intrusive - in the KALLSYMS && !SYSFS case the code is a NOP. ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar [ Replaced patch with a slightly cleaner variation by James Bottomley ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/module.c | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/module.c b/kernel/module.c index eccb561dd8a3..2d537186191f 100644 --- a/kernel/module.c +++ b/kernel/module.c @@ -1274,6 +1274,10 @@ static void add_notes_attrs(struct module *mod, unsigned int nsect, struct module_notes_attrs *notes_attrs; struct bin_attribute *nattr; + /* failed to create section attributes, so can't create notes */ + if (!mod->sect_attrs) + return; + /* Count notes sections and allocate structures. */ notes = 0; for (i = 0; i < nsect; i++) @@ -2355,8 +2359,7 @@ static noinline struct module *load_module(void __user *umod, if (err < 0) goto unlink; add_sect_attrs(mod, hdr->e_shnum, secstrings, sechdrs); - if (mod->sect_attrs) - add_notes_attrs(mod, hdr->e_shnum, secstrings, sechdrs); + add_notes_attrs(mod, hdr->e_shnum, secstrings, sechdrs); /* Get rid of temporary copy */ vfree(hdr); -- 2.30.2
