157c23c80e kbuild: use simpler section mismatch warnings in modpost
The typical layout is now:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x372ec): Section mismatch: reference to .devinit.text:pci_scan_one_pbm in 'psycho_scan_bus'

This is first step towards more readable warnings.

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.

10668220a9 kbuild: introduce blacklisting in modpost
Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the
bad combinations of sections that refer to other
sections.
Compared to the previous approach we are much less
dependent on knowledge of what additional sections
the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false
positives low.

The implmentation is changed to use a table based
lookup and we now check all combinations in first
pass so we no longer need separate passes for init
and exit sections.

Tested that the same warnings are generated for
an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

9ad21c3f3e kbuild: try harder to find symbol names in modpost
The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.

Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.

With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.

o Spaces around operators
o Break long lines
o locate * near variable not type
o Fix a format specifier for sizeof()
o Corrected placement of '{' and '}'

4b21960f90 kbuild: modpost problem when symbols move from one module to another
When part of build an external module tree, modpost first reads in the
kernel's and then the external tree's Module.symvers files.  From these files
it establishes a symbol => module mapping.  When it later reads in each module
built and processes the symbols it finds, it discovers the symbol=>module
mapping from Module.symvers and leaves it as it is.

The problem comes with a module has been re-named or a symbol has moved from
one module to another, since the Module.symvers file was generated.  modpost
does not update the symbol=>module mapping when it finds the new location of
the symbol when scanning the newly built modules.  This results in the module
containing incorrect dependency information and the new Module.symvers file
written by modpost will also contain the incorrect mappings, perpetuating the
problem to the next build, and so on.

When building the out of kernel development tree for kernel subsystem, like
v4l-dvb or ALSA, deleting the external Module.symvers file before building
(which the kernel build system doesn't do and shouldn't be necessary anyway),
won't fix the problem.  modpost still reads the kernel's Module.symvers, and
since we a building a kernel subsystem, it will define the same symbols as the
external modules.

4665079cbb [NETNS]: Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n
With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section,
thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before.
Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace
creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns
stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot.

Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls
are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be
merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to
use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes"
for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS
is not set to save more space in memory.

The exiting functions cannot just reside in the __exit section,
as noticed by David, since the init section will have
references on it and the compilation will fail due to modpost
checks. These references can exist, since the init namespace
never dies and the exit callbacks are never called. So I
introduce the __exit_refok attribute just like it is already
done with the __init_refok.

cb7e51d8b1 kbuild: fix modpost warnings for xtensa
The Xtensa architecture places literal pools in sections separate
from the instructions. The corresponsing text sections, therefore,
reference the .literal section, and we have to suppress those
warnings.

The naming convention defines the name for a literal
section as .SECTION.literal, unless .SECTION is .text. In that case
the name is only .literal. Using strncmp() instead of strcmp()
to compare the from-section with .SECTION.init.refok in pattern 0
should not cause any regressions for other architectures.

We also need to suppress warnings for two informational
sections (.xt.lit and .xt.prop) used by the Xtensa architecture.

2648a53acf kbuild: fix sh64 section mismatch problems
There's a special .cranges section that is almost always generated,
with data being moved to the appropriate section by the linker at a later
stage.

To give a bit of background, sh64 has both a native SHmedia instruction
set (32-bit instructions) and SHcompact (which is compatability with
normal SH -- 16-bit, a massively reduced register set, etc.). code ranges
are emitted when we're using the 32-bit ABI, but not the 64-bit one.

It is a special staging section used solely by binutils where code with
different flags get placed (more specifically differing flags for input
and output sections), before being lazily merged by the linker.

The closest I've been able to find to documentation is:
  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/ld/emultempl/sh64elf.em?rev=1.10&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src

It's an array of 8-byte Elf32_CRange structure given in
  http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elf32-sh64.h?rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src
that describes for which ISA a range is used.

Silence the warnings by allowing references from .init.text to .cranges.

The following warnings are fixed:

efa5bf1dd2 Revert "kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips"
This reverts commit f892b7d480, which
totally broke the build on x86 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE (which, as far as
I can tell, is the only case where it should even matter!) due to a
SIGSEGV in modpost.

577a32f620 mm: fix section mismatch warnings
modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/
Shift over to __init_refok and kill the
hardcoded function names in modpost.

This has the drawback that the functions
will always be kept no matter configuration.
With previous code the function were placed in
init section if configuration allowed it.

0e0d314e6a kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings
Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

f892b7d480 kbuild: make better section mismatch reports on i386, arm and mips
On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show
usefull symbol name.  This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend
value.  This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with
apply_relocate() routine in kernel code.

Without this patch:
  MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xf4) and 'try_name'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'

With this patch:
  MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'

Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show
"set_up_list3s" name.
