init: use type alignment for kernel parameters

2020-12-01T09:46:27+00:00

Specify type alignment for kernel parameters instead of sizeof(long). 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 __setup array stride. Using __alignof__(struct obs_kernel_param) rather than sizeof(long) 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 obs_kernel_param is actually two and that adding a 1- or 2-byte field to the 12-byte struct would cause a breakage with the current 4-byte alignment.

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

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

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

mnt_init(): call shmem_init() unconditionally

2019-07-05T02:01:59+00:00

No point having two call sites (earlier in init_rootfs() from mnt_init() in case we are going to use shmem-style rootfs, later from do_basic_setup() unconditionally), along with the logics in shmem_init() itself to make the second call a no-op... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

don't bother with registering rootfs

2019-07-05T02:01:59+00:00

init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies a lot of things. We don't need to register it, we don't need to look it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland mounts. That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning. There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs" from /proc/filesystems. Note that it's been unmountable all along and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels. *IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake it in /proc/filesystems. I very much doubt we'll have to, though. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

block: remove dead elevator code

2018-11-07T20:42:32+00:00

This removes a bunch of core and elevator related code. On the core front, we remove anything related to queue running, draining, initialization, plugging, and congestions. We also kill anything related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion. Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related ops and helpers. Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide for a way to load the default single queue elevator. Tested-by: Ming Lei Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

LSM: Convert from initcall to struct lsm_info

2018-10-11T03:40:21+00:00

In preparation for doing more interesting LSM init probing, this converts the existing initcall system into an explicit call into a function pointer from a section-collected struct lsm_info array.

init: allow initcall tables to be emitted using relative references

2018-08-22T17:52:47+00:00

Allow the initcall tables to be emitted using relative references that are only half the size on 64-bit architectures and don't require fixups at runtime on relocatable kernels.
