3# namespace.pl. Mon Aug 30 2004
4#
5# Perform a name space analysis on the linux kernel.
6#
7# Copyright Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>. GPL.
8#
9# Invoke by changing directory to the top of the kernel object
10# tree then namespace.pl, no parameters.
11#
12# Tuned for 2.1.x kernels with the new module handling, it will
13# work with 2.0 kernels as well.
14#
15# Last change 2.6.9-rc1, adding support for separate source and object
16# trees.
17#
18# The source must be compiled/assembled first, the object files
19# are the primary input to this script. Incomplete or missing
20# objects will result in a flawed analysis. Compile both vmlinux
21# and modules.
22#
23# Even with complete objects, treat the result of the analysis
24# with caution. Some external references are only used by
25# certain architectures, others with certain combinations of
26# configuration parameters. Ideally the source should include
27# something like
28#
29# #ifndef CONFIG_...
30# static
31# #endif
32# symbol_definition;
33#
34# so the symbols are defined as static unless a particular
35# CONFIG_... requires it to be external.
36#
37# A symbol that is suffixed with '(export only)' has these properties
38#
39# * It is global.
40# * It is marked EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, either in the same
41# source file or a different source file.
42# * Given the current .config, nothing uses the symbol.
43#
44# The symbol is a candidate for conversion to static, plus removal of the
45# export. But be careful that a different .config might use the symbol.
46#
47#
48# Name space analysis and cleanup is an iterative process. You cannot
49# expect to find all the problems in a single pass.
50#
51# * Identify possibly unnecessary global declarations, verify that they
52# really are unnecessary and change them to static.
53# * Compile and fix up gcc warnings about static, removing dead symbols
54# as necessary.
55# * make clean and rebuild with different configs (especially
56# CONFIG_MODULES=n) to see which symbols are being defined when the
57# config does not require them. These symbols bloat the kernel object
58# for no good reason, which is frustrating for embedded systems.
59# * Wrap config sensitive symbols in #ifdef CONFIG_foo, as long as the
60# code does not get too ugly.
61# * Repeat the name space analysis until you can live with with the
62# result.
