treewide: remove useless NORET_TYPE macro and uses

2012-01-13T04:13:03Z

It's a very old and now unused prototype marking so just delete it. Neaten panic pointer argument style to keep checkpatch quiet.

kbuild: Don't define ALIGN and ENTRY when preprocessing linker scripts.

2009-09-21T04:27:08Z

Adding a reference to to x86's causes the x86 linker script to have syntax errors, because the ALIGN and ENTRY keywords get redefined to the assembly implementations of those. One could fix this by adjusting the include structure, but I think any solution based on that approach would be fragile. Currently, it is impossible when writing a header to do something different for assembly files and linker scripts, even though there are clearly cases where one wants them to define macros differently for the two (ENTRY being an excellent example). So I think the right solution here is to introduce a new preprocessor definition, called LINKER_SCRIPT that is set along with __ASSEMBLY__ for linker scripts, and to use that to not define ALIGN and ENTRY in linker scripts. I suspect we'll find other uses for this mechanism in the future. Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

Add new macros for page-aligned data and bss sections.

2009-06-26T21:58:39Z

This patch is preparation for replacing most uses of ".bss.page_aligned" and ".data.page_aligned" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names of the form ".data.foo". Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott Acked-by: David Howells Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

i386: get rid of the use of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END

2008-11-27T11:37:54Z

entry_32.S is now the only user of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END, treewide. This patch reorders entry_64.S and explicitly generates a separate section for functions that need the protection. The generated code before and after the patch is equal. The KPROBE_ENTRY and KPROBE_END macro's are removed too. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar
