From ffdc1a09ae7e2cbd714a446ee38a27f625b5f1c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 21:20:41 +0200 Subject: tracing: add notrace to linkage.h notrace signals that a function should not be traced. Most of the time this is used by tracers to annotate code that cannot be traced - it's in a volatile state (such as in user vdso context or NMI context) or it's in the tracer internals.

This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of variables. This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the linker will make sure they're aligned properly. Unfortunately it requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros...
