+ * This driver provides an interface to trigger and test the linker table API
+ * through a series of configurations and a few triggers. This driver
+ * must be built-in as linker tables currently lack generalized modular
+ * support -- additional work is required on each module right now if you
+ * want to use linker tables, in the future we may make this much easier.
+ * For now just build this into your kernel.
+ *
+ * echo -n .text > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/config_section_name
+ * echo -n 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/config_input
+ * echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/trigger_config
+ * cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/test_result
+ * 30
+ *
+ * echo -n .data > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/config_section_name
+ * echo -n .text > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/config_section_name
+ * echo -n .rodata > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/config_section_name
+ *
+ * To check the configuration:
+ *
+ * cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_linktable/config
+ *
+ * NUM_TESTS
+ *    ∑        test(n, input)
+ *   n=0
+ *
+ * Each linker table entry on each section has a series of entries. Each entry
+ * has a function which just multiplies the test case number by input value.
+ *
+ * ...
+ * test-linktables-03.c multiplies (3 * input)
+ * test-linktables-04.c multiplies (4 * input)
+ * ...
+ *
+ * A full run on a section produces the sum of these values. So with input set
+ * to 3 we have:
+ *
+ * (0 * 3) + (1 * 3) + (2 * 3) + (3 * 3) + (4 * 3)
+ *    0    +    3    +    6    +   9     +  12
+ *                    30
+ *
+ * This is nothing important, its just a basic test. We had to pick something.
+ * Other than the above tests, this also demos and shows proper const use on
+ * all sections which we need as read-only: .text, .init.text, .rodata.
+ * Furthermore it does a silly write test to ensure write works on .data and
+ * init.data. Since the read-only sections use const we obviously are forced
+ * by the compiler to not be able to write to these sections.
+ *
+ * One of the more important items, the order, is tested. We could develop
+ * a fancy simple math algorithm that depends on order for correctness but
+ * instead we just annotate the expected order as we run. If the order listed
+ * on test->expected does not match with the actual order a routine was run
+ * in then we fail and complain.
