Tree sweep to fix up initconst

Tree sweep to fix up initconst

[Andi Kleen]

This is a global tree sweep to fix up initconst section problems.

Any variable const in initdata must be marked __initconst, not initdata.
const __read_mostly is not allowed.

Otherwise the global sections can get a read only marking and in some
circumstances the compiler/and or the linker will detect conflicts.

This patchkit aims to fix it up everywhere.

Also available in git://github.com/andikleen/linux-misc.git const-sections

Note I plan to ask Linus to pull this directly.

There's an almost identical section in
arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ppc44x_simple.c.  Does that need whatever
this is fixing as well?

Do you have an example of the compiler/linker erroring out?

It should be.  Which is not your problem but I guess if I figure out
how to have the problem I'll fix it myself.

You currently need a special toolkit set up for this, it doesn't 
happen in normal builds. It's still wrong however.

I'm not arguing against the patch.  I just want to poke around with
what you're reporting.  Where can one get the toolkit?

You currently need a gcc 4.7, HJ Lu's binutils, a rather largish patchkit
of mine to enable a kernel LTO build and then it doesn't quite build yet
due to some gcc bugs, but gets far enough to complain about invalid
section attribute mismatches.

I think the people who originally introduced initconst* triggered
it in the linker, but I'm not fully sure how they did it.
What happens is that the linker silently has to change the 'r'
attribute of that section, this can be flagged.

Can you please provide the answer to the question which was asked ?

It does not matter at all whether you need a special toolkit or
not. Josh explicitely asked for an error output example.

> ....  It's still wrong however.

So we have to trust special toolkit setups and your infamous
impeccability?

Definitely not!

Start providing proper information instead of snotty and useless
lumps.

No thanks,

Doesn't that mean that people using "git log", perhaps trying to debug
fallout from one of the patches (even if it's as small as making
context not match on some later patch), would have no idea what's
going on?  The cover letter says:

Which seems more sensible.  Since this is going through Linus's tree,
it might (or might not) make sense to combine the patches and describe
the effect once.

How can this possibly be correct?  You just checked in the preceding
#elif defined() that __devinitconst wasn't defined for this leg, so if
it's taken there'll be an instant compile failure.

If you want to argue the whole of the #ifdef construct should be removed
then I'd be interested.

It just came out of my grep. But you're right since this is dead code
it does not need to be fixed.

I'll drop the patch.

Is this one going to be merged with the rest of the series?  Or do I need to pick it up?
