Change Details

{F25468} kmod 24 ======= - Improvements: - Add more information on dependency loop - Sanitize use of strcpy and allow to grow from small strings on stack (common case) to bigger strings on heap when needed - Bug fixes - Fix wrong dependency loops being reported by depmod - Fix crashes when reporting dependency loops - Fix parsing kernel command line containing quotes - Fix leaks on error paths kmod 23 ======= - Improvements: - Don't add comment to modules.devname if it would otherwise be empty to play nice with tools detecting empty files - Allow building with BSD sed, that doesn't have -E flag - Ignore .TOC. symbols in depmod parsing as it's for PPC64 the equivalent of _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ - Teach modinfo about PKCS#7 module signatures: it doesn't add any other info besides telling the user the module is signed since kernel doesn't add other info on the module section - Bug fixes - Fix -s and -p compat options to insmod triggering force flag - Fix long lines from /proc/modules not being handled correctly by kmod_module_new_from_loaded() and kmod_module_get_size() and several other library functions that use them - Fix crash on modinfo while checking for available signature of unknown type - Fix documentation generation with gtk-doc kmod 22 ======= - Tools: - Change defaul log level for tools to WARNING rather than ERROR and update some log levels for current messages - depmod doesn't fallback to uname if a bad version is passed in the command line anymore. We just exit with an error. - insmod was taught the -f flag, just like in modprobe. It was previously silently ignoring it. - libkmod - New kmod_get_dirname() API to get the module directory set in the context - Bug fixes: - Fix return code in error path of kmod_module_insert_module(). We were previously returning ENOSYS rather than ENOENT. kmod 21 ======= - New features: - kmod tool started to learn the "insert" and "remove" commands that are the simplified versions of the older modprobe tool. These commands are still work in progress so they are hidden behind a --enable-experimental flag during build. It should not be enabled unless you know what you're doing. - kmod tool now prints the relevant configuration options it was built with when the "--version" argument is passed. This helps to mitigate problems for example when the user is trying to load a compressed module but kmod was built without support for the compression method. - Improvements to testsuite: - Cache built modules so it is easier to run "make check" on build servers by distro maintainers. If kmod is configured with --disable-test-modules the modules from cache will be used by "make check". No changes to the tests are needed and all of them can run fine. kmod 20 ======= - Bug fixes: - Handle bogus values from ELF, making sure they don't overflow while parsing the file - Fix leak in depmod when -b flag is passed multiple times - Multiple minor fixes from static analysis by coverity and clang-analyze - Fix race between loading modules and checking if it's loaded in the kernel - New features: - There's a change in behavior regarding builtin modules: we now only consider as builtin those that are present in modules.builtin index. Previously we were also checking the presence of /sys/module/<module-name>, but this is racy and only modules that contain parameters are the ones creating a directory in sysfs. Now some commands will start to fail, e.g. "modprobe vt". Since vt can't be compiled as a module it's not present in modules.builtin index. Previously we would report at as builtin, but now we fail because we couldn't find the module. - Improvements: - Integration of gcov into the build. Currently libkmod is at ~70% covered and tools at ~50% by tests in the testsuite. Utility functions and structures in shared have more than 90% of coverage. - Upload build to coverity - Improvements to testsuite: - Fix parsing return codes of init_module() calls - Add tests for utility functions in shared/ - Add tests for kmod_module_remove_module() - Add playground, in which our own modules are compiled - Port all tests to use modules from module-playground instead of copying prebuilt modules to the repository - Properly handle binaries that exit with no output - Besides comparing the output of commands, allow to copy to stdout/stderr kmod 19 ======= - Bug fixes: - Fix missing CLOEXEC in library - Fix error message while opening kmod's index - New features: - Add kmod(8) man page - Allow to build with libc's without be32toh() - Move code around separating common code and data structures into a shared directory. This allows to share more code between library and tools, making the binary size of tools smaller. - Clarify tools vs library licenses - static-nodes: when writing in tmpfiles format, indicate that creation of static nodes should only happen at boot. **This is used and required by systemd-217+.** - Improvements to testsuite: - Add tests for newly created shared/ code - Improve how tests are declared so there's less boilerplate code for each test. kmod 18 ======= - Bug fixes: - Fix leaks in error paths - Fix use-after-free in hash implementation causing a wrong index to be generated by depmod with out-of-tree modules - New features: - Calling depmod with modules creating a dependency loop will now make depmod return an error and not update the indexes. This is to protect the current index not being overridden by another index that may cause a boot failure, depending on the buggy module. It's a necessary change in behavior regarding previous kmod releases and module-init-tools. The error message was also improved to output the modules that caused the dependency cycle. - Improvements to testsuite: - Fix and improve expected-fail test - Add tests for hashmap implementation
