CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.

2013-03-15T04:39:43Z

We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string "_". But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to do so. Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to prefix it so something. So various places define helpers which are defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set: 1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym) 3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7) 5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym) 6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX 7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version for pasting. (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too). Let's solve this properly: 1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX. 2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm. 3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR(). 4) Make everyone use them.

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann: "A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms. This is dominated largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems. The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device tree as we do for normal device drivers. The clocksource changes basically touch every single platform in the process. We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here, with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being "multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose their headers to architecture independent code any more. It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup. The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of removing broken and obsolete code." * tag 'cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc: (133 commits) ARM: mvebu: correct gated clock documentation ARM: kirkwood: add missing include for nsa310 ARM: exynos: move exynos4210-combiner to drivers/irqchip mfd: db8500-prcmu: update resource passing drivers/db8500-cpufreq: delete dangling include ARM: at91: remove NEOCORE 926 board sunxi: Cleanup the reset code and add meaningful registers defines ARM: S3C24XX: header mach/regs-mem.h local ARM: S3C24XX: header mach/regs-power.h local ARM: S3C24XX: header mach/regs-s3c2412-mem.h local ARM: S3C24XX: Remove plat-s3c24xx directory in arch/arm/ ARM: S3C24XX: transform s3c2443 subirqs into new structure ARM: S3C24XX: modify s3c2443 irq init to initialize all irqs ARM: S3C24XX: move s3c2443 irq code to irq.c ARM: S3C24XX: transform s3c2416 irqs into new structure ARM: S3C24XX: modify s3c2416 irq init to initialize all irqs ARM: S3C24XX: move s3c2416 irq init to common irq code ARM: S3C24XX: Modify s3c_irq_wake to use the hwirq property ARM: S3C24XX: Move irq syscore-ops to irq-pm clocksource: always define CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE ...

irqchip: add basic infrastructure

2013-01-10T17:44:38Z

With the recent creation of the drivers/irqchip/ directory, it is desirable to move irq controller drivers here. At the moment, the only driver here is irq-bcm2835, the driver for the irq controller found in the ARM BCM2835 SoC, present in Rasberry Pi systems. This irq controller driver was exporting its initialization function and its irq handling function through a header file in . When proposing to also move another irq controller driver in drivers/irqchip, Rob Herring raised the very valid point that moving things to drivers/irqchip was good in order to remove more stuff from arch/arm, but if it means adding gazillions of headers files in include/linux/irqchip/, it would not be very nice. So, upon the suggestion of Rob Herring and Arnd Bergmann, this commit introduces a small infrastructure that defines a central irqchip_init() function in drivers/irqchip/irqchip.c, which is meant to be called as the ->init_irq() callback of ARM platforms. This function calls of_irq_init() with an array of match strings and init functions generated from a special linker section. Note that the irq controller driver initialization function is responsible for setting the global handle_arch_irq() variable, so that ARM platforms no longer have to define the ->handle_irq field in their DT_MACHINE structure. A global header, is also added to expose the single irqchip_init() function to the reset of the kernel. A further commit moves the BCM2835 irq controller driver to this new small infrastructure, therefore removing the include/linux/irqchip/ directory.

clocksource: add common of_clksrc_init() function

2013-01-02T18:07:43Z

It is desirable to move all clocksource drivers to drivers/clocksource, yet each requires its own initialization function. We'd rather not pollute with a header for each function. Instead, create a single of_clksrc_init() function which will determine which clocksource driver to initialize based on device tree. Based on a similar patch for drivers/irqchip by Thomas Petazzoni.

params: _initcall-like kernel parameters

2012-03-26T02:20:51Z

This patch adds a set of macros that can be used to declare kernel parameters to be parsed _before_ initcalls at a chosen level are executed. We rename the now-unused "flags" field of struct kernel_param as the level. It's signed, for when we use this for early params as well, in future. Linker macro collating init calls had to be modified in order to add additional symbols between levels that are later used by the init code to split the calls into blocks.

consolidate WARN_...ONCE() static variables

Due to the alignment of following variables, these typically consume more than just the single byte that 'bool' requires, and as there are a few hundred instances, the cache pollution (not so much the waste of memory) sums up. Put these variables into their own section, outside of any half way frequently used memory range. Do the same also to the __warned variable of rcu_lockdep_assert(). (Don't, however, include the ones used by printk_once() and alike, as they can potentially be hot.) Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
