Each input section 25 * contains a constant initialized variable which holds the entry's 26 * content. Linker list input sections are constructed from the list 27 * and entry names, plus a prefix which allows grouping all lists 28 * together. Assuming _list and _entry are the list and entry names, 29 * then the corresponding input section name is 30 * 31 * _u_boot_list + _2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry 32 * 33 * and the C variable name is 34 * 35 * .u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry 36 * 37 * This ensures uniqueness for both input section and C variable name. 38 * 39 * Note that the names differ only in the first character, "." for the 40 * setion and "_" for the variable, so that the linker cannot confuse 41 * section and symbol names. From now on, both names will be referred 42 * to as 43 * 44 * %u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry 45 * 46 * Entry variables need never be referred to directly. 47 * 48 * The naming scheme for input sections allows grouping all linker lists 49 * into a single linker output section and grouping all entries for a 50 * single list. 51 * 52 * Note the two '_2_' constant components in the names: their presence 53 * allows putting a start and end symbols around a list, by mapping 54 * these symbols to sections names with components "1" (before) and 55 * "3" (after) instead of "2" (within). 56 * Start and end symbols for a list can generally be defined as 57 * 58 * %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _1_... 59 * %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _3_... 60 * 61 * Start and end symbols for the whole of the linker lists area can be 62 * defined as 63 * 64 * %u_boot_list_1_... 65 * %u_boot_list_3_... 66 * 67 * Here is an example of the sorted sections which result from a list 68 * "array" made up of three entries : "first", "second" and "third", 69 * iterated at least once. 70 * 71 * .u_boot_list_2_array_1 72 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_first 73 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_second 74 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_third 75 * .u_boot_list_2_array_3 76 * 77 * If lists must be divided into sublists (e.g. for iterating only on 78 * part of a list), one can simply give the list a name of the form 79 * 'outer_2_inner', where 'outer' is the global list name and 'inner' 80 * is the sub-list name. Iterators for the whole list should use the 81 * global list name ("outer"); iterators for only a sub-list should use 82 * the full sub-list name ("outer_2_inner"). 83 * 84 * Here is an example of the sections generated from a global list 85 * named "drivers", two sub-lists named "i2c" and "pci", and iterators 86 * defined for the whole list and each sub-list: 87 * 88 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_1 89 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_1 90 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first 91 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first 92 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_second 93 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_third 94 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_3 95 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_1 96 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_first 97 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_second 98 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_third 99 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_3 100 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_3 101 */ 102 103 /** 104 * ll_entry_declare() - Declare linker-generated array entry 105 * @_type: Data type of the entry 106 * @_name: Name of the entry 107 * @_list: name of the list.
