[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 06/16] ranges.h: add helpers to build and identify Linux section ranges
From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx>
Section ranges are on one of the types of custom sections
types used in Linux. This provides a series of helpers for
defining them and using them. Most importantly this also
enables us to avoid modifying the linker script when we
add a new section range.
It turns out a lot of custom sections are actually section ranges,
and these are typically spelled out in their architecture specific
asm/sections.h file -- we anable architectures to override what asm
is used for section ranges but start by default trusting the
asm-generic version all around.
v4:
o tons of documentation love
o fix arch/x86/tools/relocs.c typo - which caused compilation issues
on old toolchains
o port to new shiny sphinx documentation
o sprinkle a few more needed VMLINUX_SYMBOL() - fixes
compilation on blackfin
o name changes as suggested by Boris:
- %s/SECTION_TYPE_RANGES/rng/g
- %s/SECTION_TYPE/SECTION_CORE/g
- %s/section_type_asmtype/section_core_type/g
- %s/section_type/section_core/g
- %s/section_rng/set_section_rng/g
- rebrand DECLARE_SECTION_RNG() as DEFINE_SECTION_RANGE() - this is
the asm version of the respective C version, this will have a
userspace C demo added later.
o move __LINUX_RANGE() and __LINUX_RANGE_ORDER() - fixes builds
on sparc
o adds section ranges to linker script
o rename SECTION_RANGE_ALL()
o use default alignment, fixes builds on powerpc and arm for both
__LINUX_RANGE() and __LINUX_RANGE_ORDER()
o expand documentation to document modules support
o add maintainers
o use generic-y
v3: new in this series, uses copyleft-next

+ * specific. Linux has historically implicitly used section ranges, however
+ * they were all built in an adhoc manner and typically required linker script
+ * modifications per architecture. The section range API allows adding new
+ * bundles of stiched executable code into custom ELF sections by only
+ * modifying C or asm code in an architecture agnostic form.
+ *
+ * This documents the set of helpers available to declare, and define section
+ * ranges and associate each section range to a specific Linux ELF section.

+ * items in to the section range (with __LINUX_RANGE() or
+ * __LINUX_RANGE_ORDER()), unless kernel/module.c find_module_sections() and
