[RFC PATCH 5/9] dt: deps: register drivers based on the initialization order based on DT
From: Alexander Holler
Date: Mon May 12 2014 - 12:56:41 EST
The init system currently calls unknown functions with almost unknown
functionality in an almost random order.
Fixing this is on a short-term basis is a bit tricky.
In order to register drivers with a deterministic order, a list of all
available in-kernel drivers is needed. Unfortunately such a list doesn't
exist, just a list of initcalls does exist.
The trick now is to first call special annotated initcalls (I call those
"well done") for platform drivers, but not actualy starting those drivers
by calling their probe function, but just collectiong their meta datas
(struct platform_driver). After all those informations were collected,
available the drivers will be started according to the previously
determined order.
The annotation of such platform drivers is necessary because it must be
made sure that those drivers don't care if the probe is actually called in
their initcall or later.
That means that all platform drivers which already do use
module_platform_driver() or
module_platform_driver_probe()
don't need any modification because their initcall is known and already well
done. But all platform drivers which do use
module_init() or
*_initcall()
have to be reviewed if they are "well done". If they are, they need a change
like
-module_init(foo_init);
+well_done_platform_module_init(foo_init);
or
-subsys_initcall(foo_init);
+well_done_platform_initcall(subsys, foo_init);
to become included in the deterministic order in which platform drivers
will be initialized.
All other platform drivers will still be initialized in random order before
platform drivers included in the deterministic order will be initialized.
"Well done" drivers which don't appear in the order (because they don't appear
in the DT) will be initialized after those which do appear in the order.
If CONFIG_OF_DEPENDENCIES is disabled, nothing is changed at all.
The long range target to fix the problem should be to include a list (array)
of struct platform_driver in the kernel for all in-kernel platform drivers,
instead of just initcalls. This will be easy if all platform drivers have
become "well done".
Unfortunately there are some drivers which will need quiet some changes
to become "well done". As an example for such an initcall look e.g. at
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c.
