* BACKPORT: kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data eliminationNicholas Piggin2022-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION option for architectures to select to build with -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections, and link with --gc-sections. It requires some work (documented) to ensure all unreferenced entrypoints are live, and requires toolchain and build verification, so it is made a per-arch option for now. On a random powerpc64le build, this yelds a significant size saving, it boots and runs fine, but there is a lot I haven't tested as yet, so these savings may be reduced if there are bugs in the link. text data bss dec filename 11169741 1180744 1923176 14273661 vmlinux 10445269 1004127 1919707 13369103 vmlinux.dce ~700K text, ~170K data, 6% removed from kernel image size.

* module: relocate module_init from init.h to module.hPaul Gortmaker2015-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Modular users will always be users of init functionality, but users of init functionality are not necessarily always modules. Hence any functionality like module_init and module_exit would be more at home in the module.h file. And module.h should explicitly include init.h to make the dependency clear. We've already done all the legwork needed to ensure that this move does not cause any build regressions due to implicit header file include assumptions about where module_init lives.

* init.h: Update initcall_sync variants to fix build errorsTony Lindgren2014-05-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are getting randconfig build errors on device drivers with tristate Kconfig option if they are using custom initcall levels. Rather than add ifdeffery into the drivers, let's add the missing initcall_sync variants. As the comment in init.h has kept people from updating the list of initcalls that can be just module_init when the driver is loaded as a loadable module, let's also update the comment a bit to describe valid use cases custom initcall levels. While most drivers should nowadays use just regular module_init because of the deferred probe, we do have quite a few custom initcall levels left that we cannot remove until tested properly. There are also still few valid cases where a custom initcall level might make sense that I'm aware of. For example a bus snooping driver can provide information about invalid bus access and is handy loader early when built in. But there's no hard dependency to have it necessarily built in and a loadable module is a valid option. Another example is a driver implementing a Linux framework like pinctrl framework. That driver may be needed early on some platforms because of legacy reasons, while it can be just a regular module_init on most platforms.

* lto, workaround: Add workaround for initcall reorderingAndi Kleen2014-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Work around a LTO gcc problem: when there is no reference to a variable in a module it will be moved to the end of the program. This causes reordering of initcalls which the kernel does not like. Add a dummy reference function to avoid this. The function is deleted by the linker. This replaces a previous much slower workaround. Thanks to Jan "Honza" Hubička for suggesting this technique.

* init.h: remove __cpuinit sections from the kernelPaul Gortmaker2013-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. As an interim step, we can dummy out the macros to be no-ops, and this will allow us to avoid a giant tree-wide patch, and instead we can feed in smaller chunks mainly via the arch/ trees. This is in keeping with commit 78d86c213f28193082b5d8a1a424044b7ba406f1 ("init.h: Remove __dev* sections from the kernel") We don't strictly need to dummy out the macros to do this, but if we don't then some harmless section mismatch warnings may temporarily result. For example, notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit. And hence the calling functions in the arch specific code are also expected to be __cpuinit -- if not, then we get the section mismatch warning. Two of the three __CPUINIT variants are not used whatsoever, and so they are simply removed directly at this point in time.

* | init, block: try to load default elevator module early during bootTejun Heo2013-01-18
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or initrd is made available and right before control is passed to userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the default modules are loaded as soon as possible. This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator init path. v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test robot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or ".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel. Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the actual name. I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header, include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures for a number of other section names. 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 ".text.foo". Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* Driver Core: early platform driverMagnus Damm2009-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | V3 of the early platform driver implementation. Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a mcount pointer is recorded into a table, it is used to add or remove calls to mcount (replacing them with nops). If the code is removed via removing a module, the pointers still exist. At modifying the code a check is always made to make sure the code being replaced is the code expected. In-other-words, the code being replaced is compared to what it is expected to be before being replaced. There is a very small chance that the code being replaced just happens to look like code that calls mcount (very small since the call to mcount is relative). To remove this chance, this patch adds ftrace_release to allow module unloading to remove the pointers to mcount within the module. Another change for init calls is made to not trace calls marked with __init. The tracing can not be started until after init is done anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug" on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes it will 1) print if it had an error code 2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off) and 3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds. While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving number 3 to figure out what to optimize... ... and then I wished that the same thing was done for module loading. This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding where things are too slow in my boot.
