Get rid of this one (false positive):
arch/s390/kernel/module.c: In function ‘apply_relocate_add’:
arch/s390/kernel/module.c:404:5: warning: ‘rc’ may be used uninitialized
in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
arch/s390/kernel/module.c:225:6: note: ‘rc’ was declared here

Play safe and preinitialize rc with an error value, so we see an error
if new users indeed don't initialize it.

Given enough debug options some modules can grow large enough
that the GOT table gets bigger than 4K. On s390 the modules
are compiled with -fpic which limits the GOT to 4K. The end
result is a module that is loaded but won't work.

Add a sanity check to apply_rela and return with an error if
a relocation error is detected for a module.

Add a special module area on top of the vmalloc area, which may be only
used for modules and bpf jit generated code.
This makes sure that inter module branches will always happen without a
trampoline and in addition having all the code within a 2GB frame is
branch prediction unit friendly.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the

now provided by the recently added default hooks.

5336377d6225959624146629ce3fc88ee8ecda3d 05-Oct-2010 Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> modules: Fix module_bug_list list corruption race

With all the recent module loading cleanups, we've minimized the code
that sits under module_mutex, fixing various deadlocks and making it
possible to do most of the module loading in parallel.

However, that whole conversion totally missed the rather obscure code
that adds a new module to the list for BUG() handling. That code was
doubly obscure because (a) the code itself lives in lib/bugs.c (for
dubious reasons) and (b) it gets called from the architecture-specific
"module_finalize()" rather than from generic code.

Calling it from arch-specific code makes no sense what-so-ever to begin
with, and is now actively wrong since that code isn't protected by the
module loading lock any more.

So this commit moves the "module_bug_{finalize,cleanup}()" calls away
from the arch-specific code, and into the generic code - and in the
process protects it with the module_mutex so that the list operations
are now safe.

Future fixups:
- move the module list handling code into kernel/module.c where it
belongs.
- get rid of 'module_bug_list' and just use the regular list of modules
(called 'modules' - imagine that) that we already create and maintain
for other reasons.

When unregistering kprobes, kprobes calls module_free() and
always passes NULL for the mod parameter. Add a check to
prevent NULL pointer dereferences.

The s390 version of module_frob_arch_sections allocates additional
syminfos for got and plt offsets. These syminfos are freed on
sucessful module load. If the module fails to load (e.g. missing
dependency when using insmod instead of modprobe) this area is not
freed.
This patch lets module_free free this area. Please note, we have to
set the pointer to NULL since module_free is called several times
from the generic code.

Avoid the detour over the PLT if the branch target of a function call
in a module is in the range of the bras (16-bit) or brasl (32-bit)
instruction. The PLT is still generated but it is unused.

Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the
console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will
not be clobbered by a printk() call that was previously done before
the illegal instruction of BUG() was hit.
Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that
could be increased but requires common code change.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
