      kexec, x86/purgatory: Unbreak it and clean it up · 40c50c1f
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The purgatory code defines global variables which are referenced via a
      symbol lookup in the kexec code (core and arch).
      
      A recent commit addressing sparse warnings made these static and thereby
      broke kexec_file.
      
      Why did this happen? Simply because the whole machinery is undocumented and
      lacks any form of forward declarations. The variable names are unspecific
      and lack a prefix, so adding forward declarations creates shadow variables
      in the core code. Aside of that the code relies on magic constants and
      duplicate struct definitions with no way to ensure that these things stay
      in sync. The section placement of the purgatory variables happened by
      chance and not by design.
      
      Unbreak kexec and cleanup the mess:
      
       - Add proper forward declarations and document the usage
       - Use common struct definition
       - Use the proper common defines instead of magic constants
       - Add a purgatory_ prefix to have a proper name space
       - Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of a homebrewn reimplementation
       - Add proper sections to the purgatory variables [ From Mike ]
