      Make initcall_debug a core_param · d0ea3d7d
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      This is the one I really wanted: now it effects module loading, it
makes sense to be able to flip it after boot.

      core_param() for genuinely core kernel parameters · 67e67cea
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      There are a lot of one-liner uses of __setup() in the kernel: they're
cumbersome and not queryable (definitely not settable) via /sys.  Yet
it's ugly to simplify them to module_param(), because by default that
inserts a prefix of the module name (usually filename).

So, introduce a "core_param".  The parameter gets no prefix, but
appears in /sys/module/kernel/parameters/ (if non-zero perms arg).  I
thought about using the name "core", but that's more common than
"kernel".  And if you create a module called "kernel", you will die
a horrible death.

      param: Fix duplicate module prefixes · 9b473de8
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      Instead of insisting each new module_param sysfs entry is unique,
handle the case where it already exists (for builtin modules).

The current code assumes that all identical prefixes are together in
the section: true for normal uses, but not necessarily so if someone
overrides MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX.  More importantly, it's not true with
the new "core_param()" code which uses "kernel" as a prefix.

This simplifies the caller for the builtin case, at a slight loss of
efficiency (we do the lookup every time to see if the directory
exists).

      module: check kernel param length at compile time, not runtime · 730b69d2
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      The kparam code tries to handle over-length parameter prefixes at
runtime.  Not only would I bet this has never been tested, it's not
clear that truncating names is a good idea either.

So let's check at compile time.  We need to move the #define to
moduleparam.h to do this, though.

      Remove stop_machine during module load v2 · d72b3751

      Remove stop_machine during module load v2

module loading currently does a stop_machine on each module load to insert
the module into the global module lists.  Especially on larger systems this
can be quite expensive.

It does that to handle concurrent lock lessmodule list readers
like kallsyms.

I don't think stop_machine() is actually needed to insert something
into a list though. There are no concurrent writers because the
module mutex is taken. And the RCU list functions know how to insert
a node into a list with the right memory ordering so that concurrent
readers don't go off into the wood.

So remove the stop_machine for the module list insert and just
do a list_add_rcu() instead.

Module removal will still do a stop_machine of course, it needs
that for other reasons.

v2: Revised readers based on Paul's comments. All readers that only
    rely on disabled preemption need to be changed to list_for_each_rcu().
    Done that. The others are ok because they have the modules mutex.
    Also added a possible missing preempt disable for print_modules().

[cc Paul McKenney for review. It's not RCU, but quite similar.]

      module: simplify load_module. · 5e458cc0
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      Linus' recent catch of stack overflow in load_module lead me to look
at the code.  A couple of helpers to get a section address and get
objects from a section can help clean things up a little.

(And in case you're wondering, the stack size also dropped from 328 to
284 bytes).
