From 2e45e77787c9d0720b046eb69856edf43b17e33e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2009 17:12:43 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "module: remove the SHF_ALLOC flag on the __versions section." This reverts commit 9cb610d8e35fe3ec95a2fe2030b02f85aeea83c1. This was an impressively stupid patch. Firstly, we reset the SHF_ALLOC flag lower down in the same function, so the patch was useless. Even better, find_sec() ignores sections with SHF_ALLOC not set, so it breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y with CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_LOAD=n, which refuses to load the module since it can't find the __versions section.
