From b283f09cf8f51c29bf90e42e22099f76d0f33378 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2004 22:41:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix get_wchan() FIXME wrt. order of functions From: William Lee Irwin III This addresses the issue with get_wchan() that the various functions acting as scheduling-related primitives are not, in fact, contiguous in the text segment. It creates an ELF section for scheduling primitives to be placed in, and places currently-detected (i.e. skipped during stack decoding) scheduling primitives and others like io_schedule() and down(), which are currently missed by get_wchan() code, into this section also. The net effects are more reliability of get_wchan()'s results and the new ability, made use of by this code, to arbitrarily place scheduling primitives in the source code without disturbing get_wchan()'s accuracy. Suggestions by Arnd Bergmann and Matthew Wilcox regarding reducing the invasiveness of the patch were incorporated during prior rounds of review. I've at least tried to sweep all arches in this patch. --- include/linux/init.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/linux/init.h') diff --git a/include/linux/init.h b/include/linux/init.h index 45069e275b3d..c6842477243c 100644 --- a/include/linux/init.h +++ b/include/linux/init.h @@ -46,6 +46,8 @@ #define __exitdata __attribute__ ((__section__(".exit.data"))) #define __exit_call __attribute_used__ __attribute__ ((__section__ (".exitcall.exit"))) +#define __sched __attribute__((__section__(".sched.text"))) + #ifdef MODULE #define __exit __attribute__ ((__section__(".exit.text"))) #else -- cgit v1.2.3
