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.

SSB is an SoC bus used in a number of embedded devices. The most well-known of these devices is probably the Linksys WRT54G, but there are others as well. The bus is also used internally on the BCM43xx and BCM44xx devices from Broadcom. This patch also includes support for SSB ID tables in modules, so that SSB drivers can be loaded automatically.

Avoid setting the value if the symbol doesn't need to be changed or can't be changed. Later choices may change the dependencies and thus the possible input range. make oldconfig from a 2.6.22 .config with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set was in some configurations setting CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y without asking, even when there was no actual requirement for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This was triggered by SUSPEND_SMP that does a select HOTPLUG_CPU. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

In the whitelist function of modpost now use the same check to identify init_section as in other places of modpost.

KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero. This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly. * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro is fixed. * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together, MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the trailing '\0'. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared as they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they become visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults aren't used anymore). The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as you noticed. The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in sync and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random value from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.

Previously we did do the check on the .o files used to link vmlinux but that failed to find questionable references across the .o files. Create a dedicated vmlinux.o file used only for section mismatch checks that uses the defualt linker script so section does not get renamed. The vmlinux.o may later be used as part of the the final link of vmlinux but for now it is used fo section mismatch only.
