Remove __dev* markings from init.h

2013-01-10T18:57:01+00:00

Now that all in-kernel users of __dev* are gone, let's remove them from init.h to keep them from popping up again and again. Thanks to Bill Pemberton for doing all of the hard work to make removal of this possible. Cc: Bill Pemberton Cc: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

include/linux/init.h: use the stringify operator for the __define_initcall macro

2012-12-18T01:15:12+00:00

Currently the __define_initcall() macro takes three arguments, fn, id and level. The level argument is exactly the same as the id argument but wrapped in quotes. To overcome this need to specify three arguments to the __define_initcall macro, where one argument is the stringification of another, we can just use the stringification macro instead.

init.h: Remove __dev* sections from the kernel

2012-11-30T20:08:42+00:00

With the recent work to remove CONFIG_HOTPLUG, we are starting to get a bunch of __devinit section warnings, despite CONFIG_HOTPLUG always being enabled. So, stop marking the sections entirely, by defining them away the section markings in init.h Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

sections: disable const sections for PA-RISC v2

2012-10-05T18:04:37+00:00

The PA-RISC tool chain seems to have some problem with correct read/write attributes on sections. This causes problems when the const sections are fixed up for other architecture to only contain truly read-only data. Disable const sections for PA-RISC This can cause a bit of noise with modpost.

init: add comments to keep initcall-names in sync with initcall levels

2012-07-26T23:59:42+00:00

main.c has initcall_level_names[] for parse_args to print in debug messages, add comments to keep them in sync with initcalls defined in init.h. Also add "loadable" into comment re not using *_initcall macros in modules, to disambiguate from kernel/params.c and other builtins.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (core code)

2012-01-12T23:02:18+00:00

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

ftrace: Avoid recording mcount on .init sections directly

2011-05-16T18:46:30+00:00

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

2010-10-22T17:21:26+00:00

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

2009-12-15T19:42:06+00:00

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
