stable inclusion from stable-5.10.56 commit c14cee5bc466dd09918e2b749bcf2ba9babfb7d5 bugzilla: 176004 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DYZ4
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
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 <linux/module.h> 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.
