The memory used by '__init' functions can be freed once the initialization phase has been performed. Mark some 'static const' array defined and used within some '__init' functions as '__initconst', so that the corresponding data can also be discarded. Without '__initconst', the data are put in the .rodata section. With the qualifier, they are put in the .init.rodata section. With gcc 8.3.0, the following changes have been measured: Without '__initconst': section size .rodata 00000720 .init.rodata 00000018 With '__initconst': section size .rodata 00000660 .init.rodata 00000058 Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
