6 /* These macros are used to mark some functions or
7 * initialized data (doesn't apply to uninitialized data)
8 * as `initialization' functions. The kernel can take this
9 * as hint that the function is used only during the initialization
10 * phase and free up used memory resources after
12 * Usage:
13 * For functions:
15 * You should add __init immediately before the function name, like:
17 * static void __init initme(int x, int y)
18 * {
19 * extern int z; z = x * y;
20 * }
22 * If the function has a prototype somewhere, you can also add
23 * __init between closing brace of the prototype and semicolon:
25 * extern int initialize_foobar_device(int, int, int) __init;
27 * For initialized data:
28 * You should insert __initdata between the variable name and equal
29 * sign followed by value, e.g.:
31 * static int init_variable __initdata = 0;
32 * static const char linux_logo[] __initconst = { 0x32, 0x36, ... };
34 * Don't forget to initialize data not at file scope, i.e. within a function,
35 * as gcc otherwise puts the data into the bss section and not into the init
36 * section.
38 * Also note, that this data cannot be "const".
41 /* These are for everybody (although not all archs will actually
42 discard it in modules) */

49 /* modpost check for section mismatches during the kernel build.
50 * A section mismatch happens when there are references from a
51 * code or data section to an init section (both code or data).
52 * The init sections are (for most archs) discarded by the kernel
53 * when early init has completed so all such references are potential bugs.
54 * For exit sections the same issue exists.
55 * The following markers are used for the cases where the reference to
56 * the *init / *exit section (code or data) is valid and will teach
57 * modpost not to issue a warning.
58 * The markers follow same syntax rules as __init / __initdata. */
