/*
* Helper macros to generate ELF Note structures, which are put into a
* PT_NOTE segment of the final vmlinux image. These are useful for
* including name-value pairs of metadata into the kernel binary (or
* modules?) for use by external programs.
*
* Each note has three parts: a name, a type and a desc. The name is
* intended to distinguish the note's originator, so it would be a
* company, project, subsystem, etc; it must be in a suitable form for
* use in a section name. The type is an integer which is used to tag
* the data, and is considered to be within the "name" namespace (so
* "FooCo"'s type 42 is distinct from "BarProj"'s type 42). The
* "desc" field is the actual data. There are no constraints on the
* desc field's contents, though typically they're fairly small.
*
* All notes from a given NAME are put into a section named
* .note.NAME. When the kernel image is finally linked, all the notes
* are packed into a single .notes section, which is mapped into the
* PT_NOTE segment. Because notes for a given name are grouped into
* the same section, they'll all be adjacent the output file.
*
* This file defines macros for both C and assembler use. Their
* syntax is slightly different, but they're semantically similar.
*
* See the ELF specification for more detail about ELF notes.

[PATCH] Translate asm version of ELFNOTE macro into preprocessor macro I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE macro currently in -mm. (in x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch) The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or -mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments" type errors. Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional when compiling assembly files. Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor macro. I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty fscking strange!). With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with both old and new assemblers. ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS, .asciz, "linux") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION, .asciz, "2.6") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION, .asciz, "xen-3.0") ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE, .long, __PAGE_OFFSET) Which seems reasonable enough.

* desc data with appropriate padding. The 'desctype' argument is the
* assembler pseudo op defining the type of the data e.g. .asciz while
* 'descdata' is the data itself e.g. "hello, world".
