22/**
23 * A linker list is constructed by grouping together linker input
24 * sections, each containning one entry of the list. 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

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

Albert ARIBAUDef123c52013-02-25 00:59:00 +0000115 * A variable declared using this macro must be compile-time initialized.
Marek Vasut42ebaae2012-10-12 10:27:02 +0000116 *
117 * Special precaution must be made when using this macro:
Marek Vasut42ebaae2012-10-12 10:27:02 +0000118 *
Albert ARIBAUDef123c52013-02-25 00:59:00 +0000119 * 1) The _type must not contain the "static" keyword, otherwise the
120 * entry is generated and can be iterated but is listed in the map
121 * file and cannot be retrieved by name.
Marek Vasut42ebaae2012-10-12 10:27:02 +0000122 *
Albert ARIBAUDef123c52013-02-25 00:59:00 +0000123 * 2) In case a section is declared that contains some array elements AND
124 * a subsection of this section is declared and contains some elements,
125 * it is imperative that the elements are of the same type.
Marek Vasut42ebaae2012-10-12 10:27:02 +0000126 *
127 * 4) In case an outer section is declared that contains some array elements
Albert ARIBAUDef123c52013-02-25 00:59:00 +0000128 * AND an inner subsection of this section is declared and contains some
Marek Vasut42ebaae2012-10-12 10:27:02 +0000129 * elements, then when traversing the outer section, even the elements of
130 * the inner sections are present in the array.
131 *
132 * Example:
133 * ll_entry_declare(struct my_sub_cmd, my_sub_cmd, cmd_sub, cmd.sub) = {
134 * .x = 3,
135 * .y = 4,
