ftrace: Avoid recording mcount on .init sections directly

2011-05-16T18:46:30Z

The init and exit sections should not be traced and adding a call to mcount to them is a waste of text and instruction cache. Have the macro section attributes include notrace to ignore these functions for tracing from the build.

init.h: add some more documentation to __ref* tags

2010-10-22T17:21:26Z

The __ref* tags may have been confusing for new kernel developers (I was confused by them for sure) so adding a few more sentences to comment to clear things up for people who see those for the first time.

PM: Add initcall_debug style timing for suspend/resume

2009-12-15T19:42:06Z

In order to diagnose overall suspend/resume times, we need basic instrumentation to break down the total time into per device timing, similar to initcall_debug. This patch adds the basic timing instrumentation, needed for a scritps/bootgraph.pl equivalent or humans. The bootgraph.pl program is still a work in progress, but is far enough along to know that this patch is sufficient. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

initcalls: Add early_initcall() for modules

2009-10-02T13:42:19Z

Complete the early_initcall() API by making it available in modules too. To be used by the EDAC/MCE code. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Cc: Andi Kleen LKML-Reference: <20091002132321.GC28682@aftab> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86: properly annotate alternatives.c

2009-08-21T22:30:12Z

Some of the NOPs tables aren't used on 64-bits, quite some code and data is needed post-init for module loading only, and a couple of functions aren't used outside that file (i.e. can be static, and don't need to be exported). The change to __INITDATA/__INITRODATA is needed to avoid an assembler warning.

kernel: constructor support

2009-06-18T20:03:57Z

Call constructors (gcc-generated initcall-like functions) during kernel start and module load. Constructors are e.g. used for gcov data initialization. Disable constructor support for usermode Linux to prevent conflicts with host glibc.

fbdev: move logo externs to header file

2009-06-17T02:47:57Z

Now we have __initconst, we can finally move the external declarations for the various Linux logo structures to . James' ack dates back to the previous submission (way to long ago), when the logos were still __initdata, which caused failures on some platforms with some toolchain versions.

vmlinux.lds.h update

2009-06-14T20:10:41Z

Updated after review by Tim Abbott. - Use HEAD_TEXT_SECTION - Drop use of section-names.h and delete file - Introduce EXIT_CALL Deleting section-names.h required a few simple updates of init.h Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Cc: Tim Abbott

initconst adjustments

2009-06-09T20:37:43Z

- add .init.rodata to INIT_DATA, and group all initconst flavors together - move strings generated from __setup_param() into .init.rodata - add .*init.rodata to modpost's sets of init sections - make modpost warn about references between meminit and cpuinit as well as memexit and cpuexit sections (as CPU and memory hotplug are independently selectable features) Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg
