7 /* These macros are used to mark some functions or
8 * initialized data (doesn't apply to uninitialized data)
9 * as `initialization' functions. The kernel can take this
10 * as hint that the function is used only during the initialization
11 * phase and free up used memory resources after
13 * Usage:
14 * For functions:
16 * You should add __init immediately before the function name, like:
18 * static void __init initme(int x, int y)
19 * {
20 * extern int z; z = x * y;
21 * }
23 * If the function has a prototype somewhere, you can also add
24 * __init between closing brace of the prototype and semicolon:
26 * extern int initialize_foobar_device(int, int, int) __init;
28 * For initialized data:
29 * You should insert __initdata between the variable name and equal
30 * sign followed by value, e.g.:
32 * static int init_variable __initdata = 0;
33 * static char linux_logo[] __initdata = { 0x32, 0x36, ... };
35 * Don't forget to initialize data not at file scope, i.e. within a function,
36 * as gcc otherwise puts the data into the bss section and not into the init
37 * section.
39 * Also note, that this data cannot be "const".
