[PATCH v6 00/14] linux: generalize sections, ranges and linker tables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This v6 addresses Andy Shevchenko's feedback from the v5 series [0] to use
lowercase on a few of the tables.h macros. No other changes have been done to
this series. As I had mentioned on the last cover-letter the v5 series had
gone through a lot of testing both compile and run time, with the linktable
test driver forced-enabled as a debug measure to try to capture errors as
many architectures as possible:

    alpha      arc        arcv2       arm       arm64       blackfin    c6x                                                                                                     
    cris       crisv32    frv         h8300     hexagon     i386        ia64                                                                                                    
    m32r       m68k       m68k_nommu  metag     microblaze  mips_22     mips_24                                                                                                 
    mips_25    mn10300    nios2       openrisc  parisc      parisc64    powerpc                                                                                                 
    s390       score      sh          sparc32   sparc64     tile        um                                                                                                      
    unicore32  x86_64     xtensa                                                                                                                                                

The only architecture that was not tested was avr32 and that is because
linux-next fails to compile on it. I'd like to greatly thank Guenter Roeck for
his help with testing.

The debug patch which force enables the test driver is not submitted for
upstream inclusion but is kept as part of the public tree for those curious,
its the last patch [1]. This tree is based on linux-next tag next-20170109.
