access to GPLONLY symbol SNAFU?

access to GPLONLY symbol SNAFU?

[Paul Davis]

i've been rebuilding kernels and drivers and stuff like that. after a
complete new checkout of ALSA, a complete rebuild of 2.4.19 and of
alsa-driver, then installing ALSA, i get this:

% sudo depmod -ae
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre6/kernel/sound/acore/snd-pcm.o
depmod:         vmalloc_to_page

% grep GPLONLY /proc/ksyms
c012c980 GPLONLY_vmalloc_to_page

now, i know something the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPLONLY, but i don't
understand why this is happening.

linux 2.4.19 + ll
ALSA CVS
gcc 3.2.2
module-init-tools 0.9.10

can anyone help me out?

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Probably bug in this package. I don't know the exact status of modules in 
2.5 (it's dramaticaly changing), but all ALSA modules are GPLed, thus this 
problem shouldn't occur.

good first guess, but no luck. i uninstalled it, reinstalled modutils
2.4.9, and the same problem occurs. i don't understand how this
happens: the kernel image contains only vmalloc_to_page, but
/proc/ksyms has only the GPL version. i was hoping that someone with
even more experience of this than i might have an idea what has gone
wrong. it all works under 2.5 BTW, but i can't use 2.5 right now
because the main serial driver is broken.

modutils-2.4.9 is fairly old..  isn't it 2.4.19?

not the real solution but a workaround would be to change the
condition in alsa-driver/include/adriver.h line 322 like below

	/* vmalloc_to_page wrapper */
==>	#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 4, 19)
	struct page *snd_compat_vmalloc_to_page(void *addr);
	#define vmalloc_to_page(addr) snd_compat_vmalloc_to_page(addr)
	#endif

and the corresponding part definition in
alsa-driver/acore/memory_wrapper.c and
EXPORT_SYMBOL() in alsa-driver/acore/sound.c.

or, try 2.4.20 or later.  it's changed as without GPL suffix.


ciao,

Takashi

Hmmmm don't know, but I found a small bug in hdsp.c.

GACK!! this is what happens when the output of ftp's "ls" command
scrolls off the screen, and you conclude that 2.4.9 is the latest. 

reinstalling 2.4.19 fixes the problem. thanks takashi!

Hi,

just tried to ALSA 0.9.0rc8b on a stock-Redhat 8.0 with redhat kernel 2.4.18-14. I got a
series of similar warnings:


...
In file included from /root/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc8b/include/sound/driver.h:43,
                 from ../../alsa-kernel/core/ioctl32/ioctl32.c:21,
                 from ioctl32.c:2:
/root/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc8b/include/adriver.h:325:1: warning: "vmalloc_to_page" redefined
In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/linux/modversions.h:1217,
                 from /root/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc8b/include/adriver.h:40,
                 from /root/alsa-driver-0.9.0rc8b/include/sound/driver.h:43,
                 from ../../alsa-kernel/core/ioctl32/ioctl32.c:21,
                 from ioctl32.c:2:
/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-14/include/linux/modules/ksyms.ver:2892:1: warning: this
...


I saw that the patch suggested by Takashi (see below) was integrated in 0.9.0rc8b - but I
guess it doesn't apply to my 2.4.18 kernel, because when I changed it, compilation went
through fine:

alsa-driver/include/adriver.h:322

        /* vmalloc_to_page wrapper */
-       #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 4, 19)
+       #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2, 4, 18)
        struct page *snd_compat_vmalloc_to_page(void *addr);
        #define vmalloc_to_page(addr) snd_compat_vmalloc_to_page(addr)
        #endif

and analogous changes in
alsa-driver/acore/memory_wrapper.c
alsa-driver/acore/memalloc.c.

Maybe you should verify in which kernel version this modification was actually made to the
vmalloc thing...

This problem will be fixed in the 0.9.0rc8d driver.
