Each input section * contains a constant initialized variable which holds the entry's * content. Linker list input sections are constructed from the list * and entry names, plus a prefix which allows grouping all lists * together. Assuming _list and _entry are the list and entry names, * then the corresponding input section name is * * .u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry * * and the C variable name is * * _u_boot_list + _2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry * * This ensures uniqueness for both input section and C variable name. * * Note that the names differ only in the first character, "." for the * section and "_" for the variable, so that the linker cannot confuse * section and symbol names. From now on, both names will be referred * to as * * %u_boot_list_ + 2_ + @_list + _2_ + @_entry * * Entry variables need never be referred to directly. * * The naming scheme for input sections allows grouping all linker lists * into a single linker output section and grouping all entries for a * single list. * * Note the two '_2_' constant components in the names: their presence * allows putting a start and end symbols around a list, by mapping * these symbols to sections names with components "1" (before) and * "3" (after) instead of "2" (within). * Start and end symbols for a list can generally be defined as * * %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _1_... * %u_boot_list_2_ + @_list + _3_... * * Start and end symbols for the whole of the linker lists area can be * defined as * * %u_boot_list_1_... * %u_boot_list_3_... * * Here is an example of the sorted sections which result from a list * "array" made up of three entries : "first", "second" and "third", * iterated at least once. * * .u_boot_list_2_array_1 * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_first * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_second * .u_boot_list_2_array_2_third * .u_boot_list_2_array_3 * * If lists must be divided into sublists (e.g. for iterating only on * part of a list), one can simply give the list a name of the form * 'outer_2_inner', where 'outer' is the global list name and 'inner' * is the sub-list name. Iterators for the whole list should use the * global list name ("outer"); iterators for only a sub-list should use * the full sub-list name ("outer_2_inner"). * * Here is an example of the sections generated from a global list * named "drivers", two sub-lists named "i2c" and "pci", and iterators * defined for the whole list and each sub-list: * * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_1 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_1 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_first * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_second * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_2_third * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_i2c_3 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_1 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_first * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_second * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_2_third * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_2_pci_3 * %u_boot_list_2_drivers_3 */ /** * llsym() - Access a linker-generated array entry * @_type: Data type of the entry * @_name: Name of the entry * @_list: name of the list.
