Lorenzo Pieralisi 814eae5982 alpha/PCI: Move pci_map_irq()/pci_swizzle() out of initdata
The introduction of {map/swizzle}_irq() hooks in the struct pci_host_bridge
allowed to replace the pci_fixup_irqs() PCI IRQ allocation in alpha arch
PCI code with per-bridge map/swizzle functions with commit 0e4c2eeb75
("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with host bridge IRQ mapping
hooks").

As a side effect of converting PCI IRQ allocation to the struct
pci_host_bridge {map/swizzle}_irq() hooks mechanism, the actual PCI IRQ
allocation function (ie pci_assign_irq()) is carried out per-device in
pci_device_probe() that is called when a PCI device driver is about to be
probed.

This means that, for drivers compiled as loadable modules, the actual PCI
device IRQ allocation can now happen after the system has booted so the
struct pci_host_bridge {map/swizzle}_irq() hooks pci_assign_irq() relies on
must stay valid after the system has booted so that PCI core can carry out
PCI IRQ allocation correctly.

Most of the alpha board structures pci_map_irq() and pci_swizzle() hooks
(that are used to initialize their struct pci_host_bridge equivalent
through the alpha_mv global variable - that represents the struct
alpha_machine_vector of the running kernel) are marked as
__init/__initdata; this causes freed memory dereferences when PCI IRQ
allocation is carried out after the kernel has booted (ie when loading PCI
drivers as loadable module) because when the kernel tries to bind the PCI
device to its (module) driver, the function pci_assign_irq() is called,
that in turn retrieves the struct pci_host_bridge {map/swizzle}_irq() hooks
to carry out PCI IRQ allocation; if those hooks are marked as __init
code/__initdata they point at freed/invalid memory.

Fix the issue by removing the __init/__initdata markers from all subarch
struct alpha_machine_vector.pci_map_irq()/pci_swizzle() functions (and
data).

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
