24/**
25 * A linker list is constructed by grouping together linker input
44f145fd 26 * sections, each containing one entry of the list. Each input section
ef123c52
AA
27 * contains a constant initialized variable which holds the entry's
28 * content. Linker list input sections are constructed from the list
29 * and entry names, plus a prefix which allows grouping all lists
30 * together. Assuming _list and _entry are the list and entry names,
31 * then the corresponding input section name is
32 *
97d5e9d1 33 * .u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
ef123c52
AA
34 *
35 * and the C variable name is
36 *
97d5e9d1 37 * _u_boot_list + _2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
ef123c52
AA
38 *
39 * This ensures uniqueness for both input section and C variable name.
40 *
41 * Note that the names differ only in the first character, "." for the
44f145fd 42 * section and "_" for the variable, so that the linker cannot confuse
ef123c52
AA
43 * section and symbol names. From now on, both names will be referred
44 * to as
45 *
46 * %u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry
47 *
48 * Entry variables need never be referred to directly.
49 *
50 * The naming scheme for input sections allows grouping all linker lists
51 * into a single linker output section and grouping all entries for a
52 * single list.
53 *
54 * Note the two '_2_' constant components in the names: their presence
55 * allows putting a start and end symbols around a list, by mapping
56 * these symbols to sections names with components "1" (before) and
57 * "3" (after) instead of "2" (within).
58 * Start and end symbols for a list can generally be defined as
59 *
60 * %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _1_...
61 * %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _3_...
62 *
63 * Start and end symbols for the whole of the linker lists area can be
64 * defined as
65 *
66 * %u_boot_list_1_...
67 * %u_boot_list_3_...
68 *
69 * Here is an example of the sorted sections which result from a list
70 * "array" made up of three entries : "first", "second" and "third",
71 * iterated at least once.
72 *
73 * .u_boot_list_2_array_1
74 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_first
75 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_second
76 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_third
77 * .u_boot_list_2_array_3
78 *
79 * If lists must be divided into sublists (e.g. for iterating only on
80 * part of a list), one can simply give the list a name of the form
81 * 'outer_2_inner', where 'outer' is the global list name and 'inner'
82 * is the sub-list name. Iterators for the whole list should use the
83 * global list name ("outer"); iterators for only a sub-list should use
84 * the full sub-list name ("outer_2_inner").
85 *
7e378b8b 86 * Here is an example of the sections generated from a global list
ef123c52
AA
87 * named "drivers", two sub-lists named "i2c" and "pci", and iterators
88 * defined for the whole list and each sub-list:
89 *
90 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_1
91 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_1
92 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first
93 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first
94 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_second
95 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_third
96 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_3
97 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_1
98 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_first
99 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_second
100 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_third
101 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_3
102 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_3

122 * This macro declares a variable that is placed into a linker-generated
123 * array. This is a basic building block for more advanced use of linker-
124 * generated arrays. The user is expected to build their own macro wrapper
125 * around this one.

ef123c52 127 * A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized.

129 * Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
42ebaae3 130 *
ef123c52
AA
131 * 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the
132 * entry is generated and can be iterated but is listed in the map
133 * file and cannot be retrieved by name.
42ebaae3 134 *
ef123c52
AA
135 * 2) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND
136 * a subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements,
137 * it is imperative that the elements are of the same type.
42ebaae3
MV
138 *
139 * 4) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
ef123c52 140 * AND an inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
42ebaae3
MV
141 * elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
142 * the inner sections are present in the array.

144 * Example:
7e378b8b 145 * ll_entry_declare(struct my_sub_cmd, my_sub_cmd, cmd_sub) = {
