From 3ddfda11861d305b02ed810b522dcf48b74ca808 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yinghai Lu Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 20:49:43 -0700 Subject: generic: add dyn_array support Allow crazy big arrays via bootmem at init stage. Architectures use CONFIG_HAVE_DYN_ARRAY to enable it. usage: | static struct irq_desc irq_desc_init __initdata = { | .status = IRQ_DISABLED, | .chip = &no_irq_chip, | .handle_irq = handle_bad_irq, | .depth = 1, | .lock = __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(irq_desc->lock), | #ifdef CONFIG_SMP | .affinity = CPU_MASK_ALL | #endif | }; | | static void __init init_work(void *data) | { | struct dyn_array *da = data; | struct irq_desc *desc; | int i; | | desc = *da->name; | | for (i = 0; i < *da->nr; i++) | memcpy(&desc[i], &irq_desc_init, sizeof(struct irq_desc)); | } | | struct irq_desc *irq_desc; | DEFINE_DYN_ARRAY(irq_desc, sizeof(struct irq_desc), nr_irqs, PAGE_SIZE, init_work); after pre_alloc_dyn_array() after setup_arch(), the array is ready to be used. Via this facility we can replace irq_desc[NR_IRQS] array with dyn_array irq_desc[nr_irqs]. v2: remove _nopanic in pre_alloc_dyn_array() Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h') diff --git a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h index 7440a0dcedd..7881406c03e 100644 --- a/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h +++ b/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h @@ -210,6 +210,13 @@ * All archs are supposed to use RO_DATA() */ #define RODATA RO_DATA(4096) +#define DYN_ARRAY_INIT(align) \ + . = ALIGN((align)); \ + .dyn_array.init : AT(ADDR(.dyn_array.init) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \ + VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__dyn_array_start) = .; \ + *(.dyn_array.init) \ + VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__dyn_array_end) = .; \ + } #define SECURITY_INIT \ .security_initcall.init : AT(ADDR(.security_initcall.init) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__security_initcall_start) = .; \ -- cgit v1.2.3
