b98197294b x86/retpoline: Avoid retpolines for built-in __init functions
(cherry picked from commit 66f793099a636862a71c59d4a6ba91387b155e0c)

There's no point in building init code with retpolines, since it runs before
any potentially hostile userspace does. And before the retpoline is actually
ALTERNATIVEd into place, for much of it.

0fd972a7d9 module: relocate module_init from init.h to module.h
Modular users will always be users of init functionality, but
users of init functionality are not necessarily always modules.

Hence any functionality like module_init and module_exit would
be more at home in the module.h file.  And module.h should
explicitly include init.h to make the dependency clear.

We've already done all the legwork needed to ensure that this
move does not cause any build regressions due to implicit
header file include assumptions about where module_init lives.

22c1587adf init: delete the __cpuinit related stubs
The __cpuinit support was removed several releases ago in 3.11-rc1 with
commit 22f0a27367 ("init.h: remove __cpuinit
sections from the kernel")

People have had a chance to update their out of tree code, so now we remove
the no-op stubs to ensure no more new use cases can creep back in.

Also delete the mention of __cpuinitdata from the tag script.

bfb33bad83 init.h: Add early_param_on_off()
At times all you need is a kconfig variable to enable a feature,
by default but you may want to also enable / disable it through
a kernel parameter. In such cases the parameter routines to turn
the thing on / off are really simple. Just use a wrapper for
this, it lets us generalize the code and makes it easier to
associate parameters with related kernel configuration options.

451ef1caa8 init.h: Update initcall_sync variants to fix build errors
We are getting randconfig build errors on device drivers with
tristate Kconfig option if they are using custom initcall
levels. Rather than add ifdeffery into the drivers, let's add
the missing initcall_sync variants.

As the comment in init.h has kept people from updating the
list of initcalls that can be just module_init when the driver
is loaded as a loadable module, let's also update the comment
a bit to describe valid use cases custom initcall levels.

While most drivers should nowadays use just regular module_init
because of the deferred probe, we do have quite a few custom
initcall levels left that we cannot remove until tested properly.

There are also still few valid cases where a custom initcall
level might make sense that I'm aware of.

For example a bus snooping driver can provide information about
invalid bus access and is handy loader early when built in. But
there's no hard dependency to have it necessarily built in and
a loadable module is a valid option.

Another example is a driver implementing a Linux framework like
pinctrl framework. That driver may be needed early on some
platforms because of legacy reasons, while it can be just a
regular module_init on most platforms.

ef1b893c29 lto, workaround: Add workaround for initcall reordering
Work around a LTO gcc problem: when there is no reference to a variable
in a module it will be moved to the end of the program. This causes
reordering of initcalls which the kernel does not like.
Add a dummy reference function to avoid this. The function is
deleted by the linker.

This replaces a previous much slower workaround.

Thanks to Jan "Honza" Hubička for suggesting this technique.

57f150a58c initmpfs: move rootfs code from fs/ramfs/ to init/
When the rootfs code was a wrapper around ramfs, having them in the same
file made sense.  Now that it can wrap another filesystem type, move it in
with the init code instead.

This also allows a subsequent patch to access rootfstype= command line

22f0a27367 init.h: remove __cpuinit sections from the kernel
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

As an interim step, we can dummy out the macros to be no-ops, and
this will allow us to avoid a giant tree-wide patch, and instead
we can feed in smaller chunks mainly via the arch/ trees.  This
is in keeping with commit 78d86c213f
("init.h: Remove __dev* sections from the kernel")

We don't strictly need to dummy out the macros to do this, but if
we don't then some harmless section mismatch warnings may temporarily
result.  For example, notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch
independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit.  And hence
the calling functions in the arch specific code are also expected
to be __cpuinit -- if not, then we get the section mismatch warning.

Two of the three __CPUINIT variants are not used whatsoever, and
so they are simply removed directly at this point in time.

bb813f4c93 init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot
This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator.  During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland.  This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.

This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

c80d471a47 Add new HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro.
This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.

I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place.  I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

13977091a9 Driver Core: early platform driver
V3 of the early platform driver implementation.

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.

fed1939c64 ftrace: remove old pointers to mcount
When a mcount pointer is recorded into a table, it is used to add or
remove calls to mcount (replacing them with nops). If the code is removed
via removing a module, the pointers still exist.  At modifying the code
a check is always made to make sure the code being replaced is the code
expected. In-other-words, the code being replaced is compared to what
it is expected to be before being replaced.

There is a very small chance that the code being replaced just happens
to look like code that calls mcount (very small since the call to mcount
is relative). To remove this chance, this patch adds ftrace_release to
allow module unloading to remove the pointers to mcount within the module.

Another change for init calls is made to not trace calls marked with
__init. The tracing can not be started until after init is done anyway.

59f9415ffb modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loader
The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
it will

1) print if it had an error code

2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
and

3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.

While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
number 3 to figure out what to optimize...  ...  and then I wished that
the same thing was done for module loading.

This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
where things are too slow in my boot.

Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to

could be converted to use this cleaner interface.

This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register
notifiers before going SMP.  One such CPU hotplug user is the relay
interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code.  This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

Today we have the following annotations for functions/data
referencing __init/__exit functions / data:

__init_refok     => for init functions
__initdata_refok => for init data
__exit_refok     => for exit functions

There is really no difference between the __init and __exit
versions and simplify it and to introduce a shorter annotation
the following new annotations are introduced:

__ref      => for functions (code) that
              references __*init / __*exit
__refdata  => for variables
__refconst => for const variables

Whit this annotation is it more obvious what the annotation
is for and there is no longer the arbitary division
between __init and __exit code.

The mechanishm is the same as before - a special section
is created which is made part of the usual sections
in the linker script.

We will start to see annotations like this:

-static struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] = {
+static const struct pci_serial_quirk pci_serial_quirks[] __refconst = {
-----------------
-static struct notifier_block __cpuinitdata cpuid_class_cpu_notifier =
+static struct notifier_block cpuid_class_cpu_notifier __refdata =
----------------
-static int threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb,
+static int __ref threshold_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb,

[The above is just random samples].

Note: No modifications were needed in modpost
to support the new sections due to the newly introduced
blacklisting.

eb8f689046 Use separate sections for __dev/__cpu/__mem code/data
Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG),
__cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch
check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual
configuration of for example HOTPLUG.

This has the effect that all users see much more
Section mismatch warnings than before because they
were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled.
The advantage of this is that when building a piece
of code then it is much more likely that the Section
mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be
felt less random of nature.

d5aa0daf6d store __setup_str_* in a more compact way
__setup_str_* are referenced only during boot, hence there's no need to
waste image space for aligning these strings (with the aim of improving
performance).
