firmware: smccc: Add an Arm SMCCC bus

2026-09-24T10:36:22+00:00

SMCCC-discovered firmware services are currently represented by separate platform devices, such as smccc_trng and arm-cca-dev. Those devices do not represent independent DT/ACPI-described platform resources; they are features of the SMCCC firmware interface. Add an Arm SMCCC bus for services discovered through the SMCCC firmware interface. The bus provides SMCCC device and driver registration helpers, function ID based matching, modalias generation, and a sysfs modalias attribute so SMCCC service drivers can bind to discovered firmware services and autoload as modules. Follow-up changes can then register SMCCC firmware services as arm-smccc devices instead of creating independent per-feature platform devices.

firmware: arm_scmi: Add SCMI device table alias support

2026-09-24T08:10:02+00:00

SCMI client drivers already describe their bus match data with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(scmi, ...), but modpost does not know how to consume SCMI device tables. As a result, SCMI modules do not get generated module aliases from their id tables. Move struct scmi_device_id to mod_devicetable.h so it has a fixed layout visible to modpost, add the corresponding generated offsets and teach file2alias to emit scmi:: aliases. Use the same stable alias format for SCMI device uevents and sysfs modaliases. The previous string included the instance-specific device name, which is not useful for matching modules.

module/kallsyms: Rename is_mapping_symbol() to is_ignored_kernel_symbol()

2026-09-09T10:15:36+00:00

The helper function is_mapping_symbol() historically checks for both local labels prefixed with ".L" or "L0" and mapping symbols prefixed with "$". Rename it to is_ignored_kernel_symbol() to better reflect this actual behavior and scope, preventing conceptual confusion. While at it, update the related non-module files, no functional changes.

modpost: use mod_warn() and mod_error(), clean up logging

2026-08-15T19:01:51+00:00

Convert all module name logging to use the mod_warn() and mod_error() helpers, and pass the module to modpost_log() where used directly, to always have the module name prefixed in the log message, with .ko suffix for modules. Pass struct module *mod around in a few places instead of just mod->name. Further unify the logging while at it. Use single quotes instead of double quotes for symbols, sections, and namespaces. Explicitly state it's a "symbol" when referencing symbols.

modpost: add module as parameter to modpost_log()

2026-08-14T19:34:40+00:00

modpost has a lot of error logging with module name, but the module name is logged in a plethora of ways. Add struct module * parameter to modpost_log(), and wrappers mod_warn() and mod_error(), to allow logging with a unified module name, if provided. If the module is provided, the messages will be of the format: (ERROR|WARNING): modpost: (modname.ko|vmlinux): message Actual conversion is done separately.

modpost: prevent leak when early return no suffix .o in read_symbols()

2026-08-05T12:51:58+00:00

The allocation for elf info symsearch and hdr from parse_elf() haven't been released when return because of modname didn't have suffix ".o". And it seems like the suffix ".o" check did not depends on parse_elf() to succeed first. So, move the suffix ".o" check before checking parse_elf() result to prevent resource leak when the modname didn't have suffix ".o" and return early. This is reported by Coverity Scan as "Resource leak".

objtool/klp: Add .klp.symid for sympos disambiguation

2026-08-03T05:12:39+00:00

Livepatch identifies a duplicate-named symbol by its position (sympos) among same-named kallsyms entries, which for vmlinux are counted in ascending address order in the final linked kernel. That order can't be reliably derived from vmlinux.o: the final link reorders sub-sections (.text.unlikely*, .data..*, etc). Bridge the gap with a new .klp.symid section which can be used to correlate symbols between vmlinux.o and vmlinux so that klp-diff can reliably determine the sympos. The table can't survive --gc-sections: keeping it alive would keep every duplicate-named symbol's section alive, so the reference kernel would stop matching the one which ships. klp-build rejects CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION instead. Nothing is lost today: x86_64 is the only HAVE_KLP_BUILD arch and doesn't select HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, arm64 and s390 have never selected it either, and on powerpc, it's still EXPERIMENTAL and disabled by every distro kernel. This is the build-time half of reliable vmlinux sympos computation; "objtool klp diff" will consume the table in a subsequent commit.
