From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx> This v4 addresses feedback from the previous v3 series [0], and also addresses a huge array of additional tests against many architectures outside of what 0-day provides. As I mentioned in my last v3 series, 0-day had only found one issue with the series, a blackfin architecture linker issue with the last series. Guenter Rock was kind enough to give my series a test spin on his test bed and he found quite a bit of other oddball issues with obscure architectures, and even on x86 with an old toolchain. After a lot of work and coordinating with a few maintainers I'm happy to report all issues found so far through all possible testing I could do are now fixed, this series also addresses all feedback from the last series, as such this goes submitted as PATCH form. In addressing fixing this work on a few architectures some of the previous patches are further simplified. The kprobes port to linker tables is made much easier now that I've addressed moving out core kprobe declarations into asm-generic/kprobes.h. Refer to the patch "kprobes: move kprobe declarations to asm-generic/kprobes.h". This makes for a much cleaner solution across architectures. Boris feedback on making the code bit rot feature optional is addressed by using a new Kconfig symbol for this, CONFIG_BUILD_AVOID_BITROT, but given Greg's concerns over lack of clarity over what this was all about I've ripped that functionality out into its own patch with a bit more extensive documentation and re-wording. See the patch "kbuild: enable option to force compile force-obj-y and force-lib-y". I hope makes it clear how linker tables can help with avoiding code bit rot. I've gone with a new Kconfig symbol CONFIG_BUILD_AVOID_BITROT given CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST is not available on UML, this feature is desirable on all architectures. The documentation is revamped, now that the DocBook format is deprecated I ported the documention into the trendy hipster Sphinx documentation format. AT Boris' request I've adapated the userspace linker table application forintegration into the kernel under tools/ to make it easier to keep things in sync, however since this requires a bit of changes to some headers in tools/ I'll submit that separately.
