From 6eabc0a5074d257247e7cc78573bcf376c5f60d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srikar Dronamraju Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2021 11:34:49 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Fix regression while building external modules BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1940559 commit 333cf507465fbebb3727f5b53e77538467df312a upstream. With commit c9f3401313a5 ("powerpc: Always enable queued spinlocks for 64s, disable for others") CONFIG_PPC_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS is always enabled on ppc64le, external modules that use spinlock APIs are failing. ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module XXX.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'shared_processor' Before the above commit, modules were able to build without any issues. Also this problem is not seen on other architectures. This problem can be workaround if CONFIG_UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK is enabled in the config. However CONFIG_UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK is not enabled by default and only enabled in certain conditions like CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCKS is set in the kernel config. #include spinlock_t spLock; static int __init spinlock_test_init(void) { spin_lock_init(&spLock); spin_lock(&spLock); spin_unlock(&spLock); return 0; } static void __exit spinlock_test_exit(void) { printk("spinlock_test unloaded\n"); } module_init(spinlock_test_init); module_exit(spinlock_test_exit); MODULE_DESCRIPTION ("spinlock_test"); MODULE_LICENSE ("non-GPL"); MODULE_AUTHOR ("Srikar Dronamraju"); Given that spin locks are one of the basic facilities for module code, this effectively makes it impossible to build/load almost any non GPL modules on ppc64le. This was first reported at https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/11172 Currently shared_processor is exported as GPL only symbol. Fix this for parity with other architectures by exposing shared_processor to non-GPL modules too.
