23 * llsym() - Access a linker-generated array entry
24 * @_type: Data type of the entry
25 * @_name: Name of the entry

27 * in a C variable name!

39 * This macro declares a variable that is placed into a linker-generated
40 * array. This is a basic building block for more advanced use of linker-
41 * generated arrays. The user is expected to build their own macro wrapper
44 * A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized.
46 * Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
48 * 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the
49 * entry is generated and can be iterated but is listed in the map
50 * file and cannot be retrieved by name.
52 * 2) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND
53 * a subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements,
54 * it is imperative that the elements are of the same type.
56 * 3) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
57 * AND an inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
58 * elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
59 * the inner sections are present in the array.

76 * ll_entry_declare_list() - Declare a list of link-generated array entries
77 * @_type: Data type of each entry
78 * @_name: Name of the entry
79 * @_list: name of the list. Should contain only characters allowed
80 * in a C variable name!
82 * This is like ll_entry_declare() but creates multiple entries. It should
83 * be assigned to an array.

99 * We need a 0-byte-size type for iterator symbols, and the compiler
100 * does not allow defining objects of C type 'void'. Using an empty
101 * struct is allowed by the compiler, but causes gcc versions 4.4 and
102 * below to complain about aliasing. Therefore we use the next best
103 * thing: zero-sized arrays, which are both 0-byte-size and exempt from
