Subject: [PATCH 00/10] drivers/pci: avoid module_init in non-modular host/pci*

This series of commits is a slice of a larger project to ensure
people don't have dead code for module removal in non-modular
drivers. Overall there was roughly 5k lines of dead code in the
kernel due to this. So far we've fixed several areas, like tty,
x86, net, etc. and we continue to work on other areas.

There are several reasons to not use module_init for code that can
never be built as a module, but the big ones are:

(1) it is easy to accidentally code up unused module_exit and remove code
(2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
(3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
includes nearly everything else.

Here we convert some module_init() calls into device_initcall() and delete
any module_exit and remove code that gets orphaned in the process, for
an overall net code reduction, which is always welcome.

The use of device_initcall ensures that the init function ordering
remains unchanged, but one could argue that PCI host code might be more
appropriate to be handled under subsys_initcall. Fortunately we can
revisit making this extra change at a later date if desired; it does
not need to happen now, and we reduce the risk of introducing
regressions at this point in time by separating the two changes.

Over half of the drivers changed here already explicitly disallowed any
unbind operations. For the rest we make them the same, since there is
not really any sensible use case to unbind any built-in bus support that
I can think of.

I have more "avoid module usage in non-modular code" cleanups for the
PCI subsystem, but these all have a common theme and it makes for a
more maintainer friendly series size to just ask to digest these 1st.

Testing was done on linux-next, using an ARCH=arm allmodconfig and then
explicitly building the files changed in this series. If desired, I
can provide a v4.4-rc4 based branch for merging vs e-mail processing,
since I don't think the underlying baseline is overly important for
this (largely trivial) series of patches.

Paul.

Subject: [PATCH 01/10] drivers/pci: make host/pci-imx6.c driver explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig for this option is currently:

config PCI_IMX6
bool "Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the couple traces of modularity, so that when reading the
driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.

Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular
case, the init ordering remains unchanged with this commit. An
alternate init level might be worth considering at a later date.

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and there wasn't a supplied ".remove"
function to be called either.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] drivers/pci: make host/pcie-xilinx.c explicitly non-modular

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

drivers/pci/host/Kconfig:config PCIE_XILINX
drivers/pci/host/Kconfig: bool "Xilinx AXI PCIe host bridge support"

...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that
when reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only. This
makes xilinx_pcie_free_irq_domain orphaned so we remove it too.

We don't have to worry about disallowing a driver unbind, since this
driver already does that.

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

We also delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag etc. since all that information
is already contained at the top of the file in the comments.

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:

Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that

We explicitly disallow a driver unbind, since that doesn't have a
sensible use case anyway, and it allows us to drop the ".remove"

Since module_platform_driver() uses the same init level priority as
builtin_platform_driver() the init ordering remains unchanged with
this commit.

Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.

I think the general direction should rather be to change the PCI
subsystem to make it possible for those drivers to be built as modules.
However, since this is quite certainly a much larger effort, there is
no reason to not clean things up as they are today, so:

Thanks, I just assumed get-maintainer.pl would have automatically
collected that up with the other names it emits. Apparently not.

Joe: is there a reason it doesn't use the module author field?

Yep, thanks -- I'll check for future sends to ensure get_maintainer.pl
hasn't omitted the module author. Looks like it may emit the module
author if they have been actively committing, but that won't work in the
authored and then largely left it alone case.

Because it's frequently out-of-date and the

I'd rather not do this. There is work underway to make it possible to
turn PCI host drivers into modules. I have a local tree with the
necessary changes and, though I suspect it might take a few releases to
get everything merged, I think we'll get there eventually.

Personally, I think all of these should become tristate, so distro kernels
don't have to build in PCI(e) support for all SoCs. multi_v7_defconfig kernels
are becoming too big.

That does not preclude making these modules un-unloadable, though.

Most of these can't be made tristate as-is, because they use symbols
that aren't exported. Many of those symbols can easily be exported, so
its just a matter of getting the respective patches merged. I disagree
with making the modules non-unloadable, though. I have a local branch
with changes necessary to unload the host controller driver and it
works just fine.

PCIe host driver that use fixup (DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_*) can't use tristate.
Fixup region is in kernel region and this region if not updated when
loading a module.

Here too. I think we should really try to let all PCI host drivers be
loadable modules if possible. The module unload path is currently
a bit iffy because of the way it interacts with the arch/arm PCI
infrastructure, but we are in the process of fixing it.

For now, I think allowing all PCIe host drivers for ARM to be
loadable but non-removably modules would be ideal.

Interesting, I hadn't thought about that. I suppose this means that the
module will end up containing an unused section with the fixup code. It
might be useful to add a way for that to trigger a warning at build
time.

Perhaps to fix this a mechanism could be introduced to add a table of
fixups to a host controller driver and that will get applied to all
children of the bridge. It could be problematic to cover all of the
different fixup stages, though.

I think a lot of the fixups shouldn't really be there in the first place,
they are about stuff that we can fix up in the probe function, or that should
be fixed up in the probe function with some appropriate core support added.

So, the feedback on this is a bit all over the map, leaving me unsure
what to do next. And is the choice we make on a per board/bsp basis or
ideally across all platforms? I see the choices as:

1) do nothing; which IMHO is least desirable as it leaves the code
misrepresenting itself as modular; one of the key issues I wanted to fix

2) use the patches I've sent ; then as they are genuinely made modular,
the person doing so essentially "patch -R" or reverts the change as
step one. This has the advantage of solving the "we'll get to it
someday" issue if someday never comes.

3) make them all tristate; beat it with a stick until it compiles [M]
and modposts -- leaving the fixups and functional testing to people with
the boards and low level knowledge to make it _work_ as a module. The
downside here is the code is still kind of misrepresenting itself as
modularly functional -- a ban of unloading might mitigate that some.

It doesn't apply, would you mind rebasing onto:

Sure I can do that and just resend the 2 renesas commits if there is no
interest in tristate conversions for them. As for the others, I'm still
awaiting feedback on what approach people want to take; I listed what I
figured our possible options are.
