Message-Id: <1455889559-9428-1-git-send-email-mcgrof@kernel.org> Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 05:45:52 -0800 From: "Luis R.

Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...nel.org> Subject: [RFC v2 0/7] linux: add linker tables This is my v2 of the original linker table work [0], now with six proof of concepts ports of existing code using custom section with custom linker script modifications: * DEFINE_LINKTABLE_TEXT(char, kprobes); * DEFINE_LINKTABLE_DATA(struct jump_entry, __jump_table); * DEFINE_LINKTABLE_DATA(struct _ddebug, __verbose); * DEFINE_LINKTABLE_RO(struct builtin_fw, builtin_fw); * DEFINE_LINKTABLE_INIT(struct x86_init_fn, x86_init_fns); * DEFINE_LINKTABLE_INIT_DATA(unsigned long, _kprobe_blacklist); I've tested all except jump tables, I'd appreaciate some help with that. As requested by hpa I've used standard sections and by doing so it gives us the ability to simply categorize any custom table by actual section used. To help avoid further unnecessary linker script modifications, and to help bring some clarify to how all these works I went to some lengths to give documentating standard kernel sections a shot. The implementation deviates now from iPXE's linker table solution more in favor for what we're used to and expect on Linux. This series leaves out the paravirt_enabled() changes, and the x86 use of linker tables. The paravirt_enabled() stuff is now being dealt with separately [1] [2], and the x86 use case for this will be sent as a separate series for review. Although the diffstat is large, that's mostly documentation and the new code. If you skip that you get: 54 files changed, 104 insertions(+), 136 deletions(-) Most of the savings come from the ability to skip custom linker table entries. The users space solutoin has a new home [3].
