We've had this in linux-next for 2+ weeks (thanks Stephen!) as a linux-stable like queue of patches, and as can be seen here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/init.git most of the changes in the last week have been trivial adding acks or dropping patches that maintainers decided to take themselves. With -rc1 now containing what was in linux-next, the queue applies to that baseline w/o issue, and I've redone comprehensive multi arch build testing on the -rc1 baseline as a final sanity check. Original RFC discussion and patch posting is here, if needed: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/21/434 Suggested merge text follows: ----------------------------8<----------------------------- Summary - We removed cpuinit and devinit, which left ~2000 instances of include <linux/init.h> that were no longer needed. To fully enable this removal/cleanup, we relocate module_init() from init.h into module.h. Multi arch/multi config build testing on linux-next has been used to find and fix any implicit header dependencies prior to deploying the actual init.h --> module.h move, to preserve bisection. Additional details: module_init/module_exit and friends moved to module.h ----------------------------------------------------- Aside from enabling this init.h cleanup to extend into modular files, it actually does make sense. For all modules will use some form of our initfunc processing/categorization, but not all initfunc users will be necessarily using modular functionality. So we move these module related macros to module.h and ensure module.h sources init.h module_init in non modular code: -------------------------------- This series uncovered that we are enabling people to use module_init in non-modular code. While that works fine, there are at least three reasons why it probably should not be encouraged: 1) it makes a casual reader of the code assume the code is modular even though it is obj-y (builtin) or controlled by a bool Kconfig. 2) it makes it too easy to add dead code in a function that is handed to module_exit() -- [more on that below] 3) it breaks our ability to use priority sorted initcalls properly [more on that below.] 4) on some files, the use of module.h vs. init.h can cost a ~10% increase in the number of lines output from CPP. After this change, a new coder who tries to make use of module_init in non modular code would find themselves also needing to include the module.h header. At which point the odds are greater that they would ask themselves "Am I doing this right? I shouldn't need this." Note that existing non-modular code that already includes module.h and uses module_init doesn't get fixed here, since they already build w/o errors triggered by this change; we'll have to hunt them down later. module_init and initcall ordering: ---------------------------------- We have a group of about ten priority sorted initcalls, that are called in init/main.c after most of the hard coded/direct calls have been processed. These serve the purpose of avoiding everyone poking at init/main.c to hook in their init sequence. The bins are: pure_initcall 0 core_initcall 1 postcore_initcall 2 arch_initcall 3 subsys_initcall 4 fs_initcall 5 device_initcall 6 late_initcall 7 These are meant to eventually replace users of the non specific priority "__initcall" which currently maps onto device_initcall. This is of interest, because in non-modular code, cpp does this: module_init --> __initcall --> device_initcall So all module_init() land in the device_initcall bucket, rather late in the sequence. That makes sense, since if it was a module, the init could be real late (days, weeks after boot). But now imagine you add support for some non-modular bus/arch/infrastructure (say for e.g. PCI) and you use module_init for it. That means anybody else who wants to use your subsystem can't do so if they use an initcall of 0 --> 5 priority. For a real world example of this, see patch #1 in this series: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/1/14/809 We don't want to force code that is clearly arch or subsys or fs specific to have to use the device_initcall just because something else has been mistakenly put (or left) in that bucket. So a couple of changes do actually change the initcall level where it is inevitably appropriate to do so. Those are called out explicitly in their respective commit logs. module_exit and dead code ------------------------- Built in code will never have an opportunity to call functions that are registered with module_exit(), so any cases of that uncovered in this series delete that dead code. Note that any built-in code that was already including module.h and using module_exit won't have shown up as breakage on the build coverage of this series, so we'll have to find those independently later. It looks like there may be quite a few that are invisibly created via module_platform_driver -- a macro that creates module_init and module_exit automatically. We may want to consider relocating module_platform_driver into module.h later... cpuinit ------- To finalize the removal of cpuinit, which was done several releases ago, we remove the remaining stub functions from init.h in this series. We've seen one or two "users" try to creep back in, so this will close the door on that chapter and prevent creep. ----------------------------8<----------------------------- Thanks, Paul. --- Cc:
