Hi Alan, Rusty,
Hi Alex,
In the meantime, while Alan is deciding the proper way to fix
this, would it be possible to drop the offending patch series
from linux-next?
Done. That takes the pressure off Alan, and makes sure he has time to get
it right.
That probably suits us on parisc too. I just checked out our build in
linux-next: we don't pass __modpost ... it looks like we have all the
module symbols undefined. Will investigate more.
James
I think parisc wants P'printk where ia64 uses @fptr(printk).
It may also need ".import printk,code" or similar.
I think if you have to make modpost architecture specific, there's
something a bit wrong in the patch series.
I can confirm that reverting this particular patch allows the parisc
build to work again. It still won't boot because module symbols aren't
resolved.
James
Yes, the series as a whole relies on that patch. Rusty pulled the
series from linux-next (thanks rusty!).
Not according to current linux-next:

kbuild: sort the list of symbols exported by the kernel (__ksymtab)
modpost of vmlinux.o now extracts the ksymtab sections and outputs
sorted versions of them as .tmp_exports-asm.S. These sorted sections
Could we please have this removed so we can resume our testing of next?
Note to Rusty: the patches which depend on this are
"module: speed up find_symbol() using binary search on the builtin
symbol tables"
and
"modpost: fix modules on ia64 - use @fptr() on exported function symbols"
(the second one needs to be rewritten anyway, because -
We don't need there to be no arch changes ... but we do need any arch
specificity confined to arch specific files.
