None of these files are using modular infrastructure, and build
tests reveal that none of these files are really relying on any
implicit inclusions via. module.h either. So delete them.

This patch removes all the module loader hook implementations in the
architecture specific code where the functionality is the same as that
now provided by the recently added default hooks.

In order not to be left behind, we add jump label support for MIPS.

(malta/qemu).

d0a21265dfb5fa8ae54e90d0fb6d1c215b10a28a 14-Jan-2011 David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> mm: unify module_alloc code for vmalloc

Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for
module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a
globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range().

__vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of
[VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior.

Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove
the duplication of code.

Loading of modules with unresolved weak symbols fails on MIPS
since '88173507e4fc1e7ecd111b0565e8cba0cb7dae6d'.

Modules: handle symbols that have a zero value

The module subsystem cannot handle symbols that are zero. If symbols
are present that have a zero value then the module resolver prints out a
message that these symbols are unresolved.

We have to use IS_ERR_VALUE() to check that a symbol has been resolved
or not.

27ac792ca0b0a1e7e65f20342260650516c95864 24-Jul-2008 Andrea Righi <righi.andrea@gmail.com> PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

This is a patch to load 64-bit modules to CKSEG0 so that can be
compiled with -msym32 option. This makes each module ~10% smaller.

* introduce MODULE_START and MODULE_END
* custom module_alloc()
* PGD for modules
* change XTLB refill handler synthesizer
* enable -msym32 for modules again
(revert ca78b1a5c6a6e70e052d3ea253828e49b5d07c8a)

New XTLB refill handler looks like this:

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!
