params: clean up module-param macros

2020-11-25T14:45:11Z

Clean up the module-param macros by adding some indentation and using the __aligned() macro to improve readability. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201103175711.10731-1-johan@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Johan Hovold Signed-off-by: Jessica Yu

params: use type alignment for kernel parameters

2020-11-25T14:45:03Z

Specify type alignment for kernel parameters instead of sizeof(void *). The alignment attribute is used to prevent gcc from increasing the alignment of objects with static extent as an optimisation, something which would mess up the __param array stride. Using __alignof__(struct kernel_param) rather than sizeof(void *) is preferred since it better indicates why it is there and doesn't break should the type size or alignment change. Note that on m68k the alignment of struct kernel_param is actually two and that adding a 1- or 2-byte field to the 20-byte struct would cause a breakage with the current 4-byte alignment.

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49Z

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms. Conversion done using the script at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/75393e5ddc272dc7403de74d645e6c6e0f4e70eb.camel@perches.com/2-convert_section.pl Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers Reviewed-by: Miguel Ojeda Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

moduleparams: Add hexint type parameter

2020-07-28T11:44:53Z

For bitmasks printing values in hex is more convenient. Prefix with `0x` to make it clear, that it’s a hex value, and pad it out. Using the helper for `amdgpu.ppfeaturemask`, it will look like below.

moduleparam: Save information about built-in modules in separate file

2019-05-07T12:50:24Z

Problem: When a kernel module is compiled as a separate module, some important information about the kernel module is available via .modinfo section of the module. In contrast, when the kernel module is compiled into the kernel, that information is not available. Information about built-in modules is necessary in the following cases: 1. When it is necessary to find out what additional parameters can be passed to the kernel at boot time. 2. When you need to know which module names and their aliases are in the kernel. This is very useful for creating an initrd image. Proposal: The proposed patch does not remove .modinfo section with module information from the vmlinux at the build time and saves it into a separate file after kernel linking. So, the kernel does not increase in size and no additional information remains in it. Information is stored in the same format as in the separate modules (null-terminated string array). Because the .modinfo section is already exported with a separate modules, we are not creating a new API. It can be easily read in the userspace: $ tr '\0' '\n' < modules.builtin.modinfo ext4.softdep=pre: crc32c ext4.license=GPL ext4.description=Fourth Extended Filesystem ext4.author=Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others ext4.alias=fs-ext4 ext4.alias=ext3 ext4.alias=fs-ext3 ext4.alias=ext2 ext4.alias=fs-ext2 md_mod.alias=block-major-9-* md_mod.alias=md md_mod.description=MD RAID framework md_mod.license=GPL md_mod.parmtype=create_on_open:bool md_mod.parmtype=start_dirty_degraded:int ...
