Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init
text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its
records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer
exists.

Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as
modules require different work for freeing its init code.

The current "rodata=off" parameter disables read-only kernel mappings
under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA:
    commit d2aa1aca ("mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter
    to disable read-only kernel mappings")

This patch is a logical extension to module mappings ie. read-only mappings
at module loading can be disabled even if CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX
(mainly for debug use). Please note, however, that it only affects RO/RW
permissions, keeping NX set.

This is the first step to make CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX mandatory
(always-on) in the future as CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on x86 and arm64.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables.  If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents.  The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.

These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

Modular users will always be users of init functionality, but
users of init functionality are not necessarily always modules.

Hence any functionality like module_init and module_exit would
be more at home in the module.h file.  And module.h should
explicitly include init.h to make the dependency clear.

We've already done all the legwork needed to ensure that this
move does not cause any build regressions due to implicit
header file include assumptions about where module_init lives.

We are getting randconfig build errors on device drivers with
tristate Kconfig option if they are using custom initcall
levels. Rather than add ifdeffery into the drivers, let's add
the missing initcall_sync variants.

As the comment in init.h has kept people from updating the
list of initcalls that can be just module_init when the driver
is loaded as a loadable module, let's also update the comment
a bit to describe valid use cases custom initcall levels.

While most drivers should nowadays use just regular module_init
because of the deferred probe, we do have quite a few custom
initcall levels left that we cannot remove until tested properly.

There are also still few valid cases where a custom initcall
level might make sense that I'm aware of.

For example a bus snooping driver can provide information about
invalid bus access and is handy loader early when built in. But
there's no hard dependency to have it necessarily built in and
a loadable module is a valid option.

Another example is a driver implementing a Linux framework like
pinctrl framework. That driver may be needed early on some
platforms because of legacy reasons, while it can be just a
regular module_init on most platforms.

Work around a LTO gcc problem: when there is no reference to a variable
in a module it will be moved to the end of the program. This causes
reordering of initcalls which the kernel does not like.

This replaces a previous much slower workaround.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

As an interim step, we can dummy out the macros to be no-ops, and
this will allow us to avoid a giant tree-wide patch, and instead
we can feed in smaller chunks mainly via the arch/ trees.  This
is in keeping with commit 78d86c21
("init.h: Remove __dev* sections from the kernel")

We don't strictly need to dummy out the macros to do this, but if
we don't then some harmless section mismatch warnings may temporarily
result.  For example, notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch
independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit.  And hence
the calling functions in the arch specific code are also expected
to be __cpuinit -- if not, then we get the section mismatch warning.

Two of the three __CPUINIT variants are not used whatsoever, and
so they are simply removed directly at this point in time.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator.  During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland.  This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.

This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

The old refok sections

  .text.init.refok
  .data.init.refok
  .exit.text.refok

have been deprecated since commit
312b1485.  After the other patches in
this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up
by eliminating all the remaining references to them.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.

I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place.  I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.

The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections.  This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

V3 of the early platform driver implementation.

Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver.  So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.

For early devices we have nothing today.  For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices.  This
because the setup order during boot.  Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available.  The same goes for early printk
support.  Early in this case means before initcalls.

These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method.  This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver.  A single way would be better.

The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe.  Registration happens through early_param().  The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.

See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.
