Hi Linus,
I'd like to see this patch series merged for 2.6.30. It applies on
top of your current master (aka v2.6.29). Patch 1/4 would benefit
from special treatment during the merge window, since it makes many
small changes in lots of files, and thus is likely to conflict with
other changes; the other patches are fairly small.
The purpose of this patch series is to make it possible to build the
kernel with "gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections". There are two
major applications for this functionality: decreasing vmlinux image
size with --gc-sections, and Ksplice.
The original motivation for this functionality was to allow using the
linker's unused section garbage collection support (ld --gc-sections)
in order to get a smaller vmlinux image for embedded systems. People
have been developing patches for supporting building the kernel with
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections for this purpose for a few years
now (e.g. [1]). The most recent previous set of patches for
--gc-sections was by Denys Vlasenko, and saved 10% on vmlinux size
with CONFIG_MODULES=n and 1% with CONFIG_MODULES=y [2,3,4]. The
primary source of complexity in the various patch series for doing
section garbage collection has been in the patches adding support for
compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, so
merging this patch series should be a big step towards those
significant savings in kernel image size.
[1] <http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/4/169>
[2] <http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/5/90>
[3] <http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/7/110>
[4] <http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/1/499>
Support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections is the only significant prerequisite change currently
required by Ksplice. Ksplice is a system for updating the Linux
kernel without rebooting [5].
[5] <http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/24/362> is the latest version of the
Ksplice patch series
Patches 1/4, 2/4, and 3/4 are independent of each other, but
all three are prerequisites for patch 4/4.

This patch makes it possible to link and boot an x86 kernel with
-ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections enabled.
Modpost currently warns whenever it sees a section with a name
matching [.][0-9]+$ because they are often caused by section flag
mismatch errors. When compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections, gcc places various classes of local symbols in
sections with names such as .rodata.__func__.12345, causing these
warnings to be printed spuriously. The simplest fix is to disable the
warning when CONFIG_FUNCTION_DATA_SECTIONS is enabled.

1.6.2
From: Anders Kaseorg <[email protected]>
When you put
.section ".foo"
in an assembly file instead of
.section "foo", "ax"
, one of the possible symptoms is that modpost will see an
ld-generated section name ".foo.1" in section_rel() or section_rela().
But this heuristic has two problems: it will miss a bad section that
has no relocations, and it will incorrectly flag many gcc-generated
sections as bad when compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.
So instead of checking whether the section name matches a particular
pattern, we directly check for a missing SHF_ALLOC in the section
flags.

1.6.2
The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to build the kernel
with "gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections". This is a key step
towards being able to compile the kernel using the --gc-sections
linker option, which can be used to decrease the vmlinux size by
garbage collecting unused functions. Also, Ksplice's 'run-pre
matching' process is much simpler if the original kernel was compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections.
Currently, the kernel uses a number of "magic" section names such as
".data.nosave" and ".text.head".
The problem is that with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, gcc
places code like
static void head(...) {...}
in the .text.head section, and code like
static int nosave = 1;
in the .data.nosave section, causing code to be inappropriately placed
in the "magic" sections. This patch renames all "magic" section names
used by the kernel to use ".." rather than "." as the delimiter
between the section prefix (e.g. ".text") and suffix (e.g. "head"), so
that ".data.nosave" becomes ".data..nosave", etc. The key property of
these names is that there are no collisions between the kernel's
"magic" sections and the sections generated by gcc's
-ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections options. One can then
reference the sections generated by -ffunction-sections using a linker
script pattern such as *(.text.[A-Za-z$_]*)
This patch is based on an some earlier patches by Denys Vlasenko.
Those earlier patches used section names like ".kernel.text.head".
Because these names did not begin with e.g. ".text", the assembler did
not automatically use the correct section flags for them, and so one
needed to explicitly declare the sections flags when declaring a
section in assembly files using code such as:
.section .kernel.text.head, "ax", @progbits
These explicit section flags in assembly files turned out to be a
common source of confusion, and so I rewrote the patch with this new
section naming scheme suggested by Anders Kaseorg.

Indeed. I just did a merge of your changes with next-20090323 and it
conflicted with changes in 10 files across 4 architectures. There has
been work on several areas that you are changing here (some of which will
make your life easier - like the percpu changes). I suspect that at
least some of patch 1/4 could have bee split out and sent to the
appropriate maintainers.
As it is, It looks like this will need to be rebased on top of (say)
2.6.30-rc1 (at least) in order not to inflict too much pain on others.

Yeah, unfortunately, because people are always modifying the kernel's
"magic" sections, a version of the patch that applies to master will
basically always conflict with something in linux-next (at least, this has
been my experience updating it during the 2.6.29 release cycle). As Rusty
Russell said last month about this patch, there's no good time for this
kind of change.
I'm happy to rebase this patch again to merge it late in the merge window
if that makes life easier for others. Merge conflicts with this patch are
hard to avoid but fairly easy to resolve -- you just replace .data.foo
with .data..foo (etc.).

Because the change is actually renaming sections, it needs to be made on
all the architectures at the same time as changes are made to the
architecture-independent code. So, changes in, say, include/linux/init.h:
-#define __nosavedata __section(.data.nosave)
+#define __nosavedata __section(.data..nosave)
must be synchronized with, say, arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S:
. = ALIGN(4096);
__nosave_begin = .;
- *(.data.nosave)
+ *(.data..nosave)
So, while it might have been useful to split out and send individual
per-architecture patches to arch maintainers for review, that would not
avoid the need to merge it as a single giant patch.

"Just before -rc1" is pretty much the only time to do this kind of

OK. Merging this patch just before -rc1 would be fine with me; I'll keep
the patch series updated as the merge window proceeds.
How should I help this patch be merged "just before -rc1"? In particular,
how will I know when is the right time to send the updated patch?
