Subject: [RGC PATCH 0/2] split file2alias using elf sections
Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 13:23:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1320408578.git.rubini@gnudd.com> (raw)
When adding a new bus type with autoloading of modules, people should
always change the global scripts/mod/file2alias.c source file, whereas
most of the new code is just new files and individual Makefile/Kconfig
lines.
The first patch turns all the "normal" alias generation in a
table-driven loop. The second patch moves a few alias types out of the
main file2alias.c source, as a demonstration that the thing works.
I didn't move all bus/alias types out of the main file, as it's a huge
work. But if the approach is going to be accepted I can do that (or
happily leave the task to who volunteers).
