From 5d7d18f5bc507b60d3d8967e2739d5e6ffdd630f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 11:59:07 -0800 Subject: kbuild: make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux Make it possible for the linker to discard local symbols from vmlinux as they cause vmlinux to balloon when CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y and they cause dump_stack() and get_wchan() to produce useless information under some circumstances. With this we add a config option (CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS) that will cause the build to supply -X to the linker to tell it to strip temporary local symbols. This doesn't seem to cause gdb any problems.

It seems like the logic required for XIP on nommu, i.e. ftruncate to reported cpio header file size (body_len) is broken for hardlinks, which have a reported size of 0, and the truncate thus nukes the contents of the file (in my case busybox), making boot impossible and ending with runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000 - and of course 0000 is not a valid binary format. My fix is to only call ftruncate if size is non-zero which fixes things for me, but I'm not certain whether this will break XIP for those files on nommu systems, although I would guess not.

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.
