Otherwise, we also parse strings like
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.12.12-57.g5f654cf-default
In practice, this is not a problem, because there is no module named
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3. It just disturbs in modprobe -c output.
If we can open it and read it, it's good enough for us. Otherwise, we
cannot use -C /dev/null to skip the system configuration for instance:
$ ./tools/modprobe -C /dev/null -c
libkmod: ERROR libkmod/libkmod-config.c:821 conf_files_list: unsupported
file mode /dev/null: 0x21b6
...
Add a ->modules_loaded member to struct test, which is a comma-separated
list of modules that should be present after the test finishes. Both
missing and excess modules cause an error.
Also define noreturn w/o <stdnoreturn.h> and move it to macro.h instead
of in the testsuite.
Based on similar commit on systemd by Shawn Landden

This allows make rules for generated build files (i.e. configure,
Makefile.in, ... ) to be skipped. This is useful when
the source is stored without timestamps (for example in CVS or GIT).
When the build rules trigger to regenerate the build files, it tries to
use the same autotools version (currently 1.14) as was originally used
for the release. Since many of our build machines run Debian Squeeze,
they only have autotools 1.11 available and the build fails.
Currently, we have to work around this by touching all the generated
files before building to avoid triggering the make rule. With this
patch, we would be able to just run configure with
--disable-maintainer-mode instead. The patch sets the default to enable
to not change the default behavior.
If we are note building in the existing source tree and have disabled
dependency-tracking then the testsuite directory is not created during
the configure phase and will not exist when the cp of ROOTFS_PRISTINE
occurs, thus causing an error and fail.
By aligning n_buckets to power of 2 we can turn the "bucket = hashval %
n_buckets" into a less expensive bucket = hashval & (n_buckets - 1).
This removes the DIV instruction as shown below.
Before:
xor %edx,%edx
divl 0x8(%rbx)
mov %edx,%eax
add $0x1,%rax
shl $0x4,%rax
add %rbx,%rax
After:
lea -0x1(%rdi),%edx
and %edx,%eax
add $0x1,%rax
shl $0x4,%rax
add %rbx,%rax
With a microbenchmark, measuring the time to locate the bucket (i.e.
time_to_calculate_hashval + time_to_calculate_bucket_position) we have
the results below (time in clock cycles):
keylen before after
2-10 79.0 61.9 (-21.65%)
11-17 81.0 64.4 (-20.48%)
18-25 90.0 73.2 (-18.69%)
26-32 104.7 87.0 (-16.82%)
33-40 108.4 89.6 (-17.37%)
41-48 111.2 91.9 (-17.38%)
49-55 120.1 102.1 (-15.04%)
56-63 134.4 115.7 (-13.91%)
As expected the gain is constant, regardless of the key length.
The time to clculate the hashval varies with the key length, which
explains the bigger gains for short keys.
Add static inline function to align a value to it's next power of 2.
This is commonly done by a SWAR like the one in:
http://aggregate.org/MAGIC/#Next Largest Power of 2
However a microbench shows that the implementation herer is a faster.
It doesn't really impact the possible user of this function, but it's
interesting nonetheless.
Using a x86_64 i7 Ivy Bridge it shows a ~4% advantage by using clz
instead instead of the OR and SHL chain. And this is by using a BSR
since Ivy Bridge doesn't have LZCNT. New Haswell processors have the
LZCNT instruction which can make this even better. ARM also has a CLZ
instruction so it should be better, too.
Code used to test:
...
v = val[i];
t1 = get_cycles(0);
a = ALIGN_POWER2(v);
t1 = get_cycles(t1);
t2 = get_cycles(0);
v = nlpo2(v);
t2 = get_cycles(t2);
printf("%u\t%llu\t%llu\t%d\n", v, t1, t2, v == a);
...
In which val is an array of 20 random unsigned int, nlop2 is the SWAR
implementation and get_cycles uses RDTSC to measure the performance.
Averages:
ALIGN_POWER2: 30 cycles
nlop2: 31.4 cycles
During the last merge window (3.12) a couple of modules gained devname
aliases, but without the necessary major and minor information. These were
then silently ignored when generating modules.devname.
Complain loudly to avoid such errors sneaking in undetected in the future:
depmod: ERROR: Module 'zram' has devname (zram) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring.
depmod: ERROR: Module 'uhid' has devname (uhid) but lacks major and minor information. Ignoring.

It's used in so many places without checking, that's really pointless to
check for it in macro.h.
Also remove AC_C_TYPEOF from configure.ac since we don't use -ansi.
Commit 8efede20ef ("Use _Static_assert") introduced the usage of
_Static_assert(). However, _Static_assert() is a fairly new thing,
since it was introduced only in gcc 4.6. In order to support older
compilers, this patch adds a configure.in test that checks whether
_Static_assert() is usable or not, and adjust the behavior of the
assert_cc() macro accordingly.
With readdir_r() we should be providing enough space to store the dir
name. This could be accomplished by define an union like systemd does:
union dirent_storage {
struct dirent de;
uint8_t storage[offsetof(struct dirent, d_name) +
((NAME_MAX + 1 + sizeof(long)) & ~(sizeof(long) - 1))];
};
However in all places that we use readdir_r() we have no concerns about
reentrance nor we have problems with threads. Thus use the simpler
readdir() instead.
We also remove the error logging here (that could be added back by
checking errno), but it was not adding much value so it's gone.
stdout and stderr are names reserved for the implementation
and musl uses them rightfully as macro - and the expansion
causes (of course) unexpected results.
rename the struct members stdout to out and stderr
to err, to be 1) compliant 2) cause compilation to
succeed.
fixes build with musl libc.
It occurred to an openSUSE user that our mkinitrd would throw a
warning when used with kmod:
libkmod: conf_files_list: unsupported file mode /dev/null: 0x21b6
Grepping for the error message revealed that there might be a missing
"else" keyword here, since it is unusual to put an "if" directly after
closing brace.
In containers/VM's/initrd one might not have installed any modules and
accompanying modules.devname Don't fail if this is the case, just warn.
When used in systemd this means we don't get a failing unit on booting
containers.
