   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.
