      fbdev: work around old compiler bug · 15e32524
      Stephen Rothwell 提交于
      When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get this
      error:
      
      drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict
      
      This was introduced by commit ae52bb23
      ("fbdev: move logo externs to header file").  This is a partial revert of
      that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.
      
      Also convert _clut arrays from __initconst to __initdata.

        Al analysed this some time ago.  When we say something is const then
        _sometimes_ gcc annotate the section as const(?) - sometimes not.  So if
        we have two variables/functions annotated __*const and gcc decides to
        annotate the section const only in one case we get a section type
        conflict.

      gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructure · 2521f2c2
      Peter Oberparleiter 提交于
      Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux
      kernel.  gcov may be useful for:
      
       * debugging (has this code been reached at all?)
       * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
       * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
         associated code is never run?)
      
      The profiling patch incorporates the following changes:
      
       * change kbuild to include profiling flags
       * provide functions needed by profiling code
       * present profiling data as files in debugfs
      
      Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option
      "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/
      run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and
      others which require adjustment of architecture code.
      
      For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted
      to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes.
      This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested
      and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files
      or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help
      text).
