We are getting randconfig build errors on device drivers with
tristate Kconfig option if they are using custom initcall
levels. Rather than add ifdeffery into the drivers, let's add
the missing initcall_sync variants.
As the comment in init.h has kept people from updating the
list of initcalls that can be just module_init when the driver
is loaded as a loadable module, let's also update the comment
a bit to describe valid use cases custom initcall levels.
While most drivers should nowadays use just regular module_init
because of the deferred probe, we do have quite a few custom
initcall levels left that we cannot remove until tested properly.
There are also still few valid cases where a custom initcall
level might make sense that I'm aware of.
For example a bus snooping driver can provide information about
invalid bus access and is handy loader early when built in. But
there's no hard dependency to have it necessarily built in and
a loadable module is a valid option.
Another example is a driver implementing a Linux framework like
pinctrl framework. That driver may be needed early on some
platforms because of legacy reasons, while it can be just a
regular module_init on most platforms.

Work around a LTO gcc problem: when there is no reference to a variable
in a module it will be moved to the end of the program. This causes
reordering of initcalls which the kernel does not like.
Add a dummy reference function to avoid this. The function is
deleted by the linker.
This replaces a previous much slower workaround.
Thanks to Jan "Honza" Hubička for suggesting this technique.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
As an interim step, we can dummy out the macros to be no-ops, and
this will allow us to avoid a giant tree-wide patch, and instead
we can feed in smaller chunks mainly via the arch/ trees. This
is in keeping with commit 78d86c213f
("init.h: Remove __dev* sections from the kernel")
We don't strictly need to dummy out the macros to do this, but if
we don't then some harmless section mismatch warnings may temporarily
result. For example, notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch
independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit. And hence
the calling functions in the arch specific code are also expected
to be __cpuinit -- if not, then we get the section mismatch warning.
Two of the three __CPUINIT variants are not used whatsoever, and
so they are simply removed directly at this point in time.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.
This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

Currently the __define_initcall() macro takes three arguments, fn, id and
level. The level argument is exactly the same as the id argument but
wrapped in quotes. To overcome this need to specify three arguments to
the __define_initcall macro, where one argument is the stringification of
another, we can just use the stringification macro instead.

The PA-RISC tool chain seems to have some problem with correct
read/write attributes on sections. This causes problems when the const
sections are fixed up for other architecture to only contain truly
read-only data.
Disable const sections for PA-RISC
This can cause a bit of noise with modpost.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

The init and exit sections should not be traced and adding a call to
mcount to them is a waste of text and instruction cache. Have the
macro section attributes include notrace to ignore these functions

In order to diagnose overall suspend/resume times, we need
basic instrumentation to break down the total time into per
device timing, similar to initcall_debug.
This patch adds the basic timing instrumentation, needed
for a scritps/bootgraph.pl equivalent or humans.
The bootgraph.pl program is still a work in progress, but
is far enough along to know that this patch is sufficient.
