/*
|
||
|
* 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.
