scripts/namespace.pl - kernel/msm-4.9 - Gitiles

 #!/usr/bin/perl -w
 #
 #	namespace.pl.  Mon Aug 30 2004
 #
 #	Perform a name space analysis on the linux kernel.
 #
 #	Copyright Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>.  GPL.
 #
 #	Invoke by changing directory to the top of the kernel object
 #	tree then namespace.pl, no parameters.
 #
 #	Tuned for 2.1.x kernels with the new module handling, it will
 #	work with 2.0 kernels as well.
 #
 #	Last change 2.6.9-rc1, adding support for separate source and object
 #	trees.
 #
 #	The source must be compiled/assembled first, the object files
 #	are the primary input to this script.  Incomplete or missing
 #	objects will result in a flawed analysis.  Compile both vmlinux
 #	and modules.
 #
 #	Even with complete objects, treat the result of the analysis
 #	with caution.  Some external references are only used by
 #	certain architectures, others with certain combinations of
 #	configuration parameters.  Ideally the source should include
 #	something like
 #
 #	#ifndef CONFIG_...
 #	static
 #	#endif
 #	symbol_definition;
 #
 #	so the symbols are defined as static unless a particular
 #	CONFIG_... requires it to be external.
 #
 #	A symbol that is suffixed with '(export only)' has these properties
 #
 #	* It is global.
 #	* It is marked EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, either in the same
 #	  source file or a different source file.
 #	* Given the current .config, nothing uses the symbol.
 #
 #	The symbol is a candidate for conversion to static, plus removal of the
 #	export.  But be careful that a different .config might use the symbol.
 #
 #
 #	Name space analysis and cleanup is an iterative process.  You cannot
 #	expect to find all the problems in a single pass.
 #
 #	* Identify possibly unnecessary global declarations, verify that they
 #	  really are unnecessary and change them to static.
 #	* Compile and fix up gcc warnings about static, removing dead symbols
 #	  as necessary.
 #	* make clean and rebuild with different configs (especially
 #	  CONFIG_MODULES=n) to see which symbols are being defined when the
 #	  config does not require them.  These symbols bloat the kernel object
 #	  for no good reason, which is frustrating for embedded systems.
 #	* Wrap config sensitive symbols in #ifdef CONFIG_foo, as long as the
 #	  code does not get too ugly.
 #	* Repeat the name space analysis until you can live with with the
 #	  result.
