hi:

In kernel code . some function is defined by

__attribute__((__section__(".initcall" level ".init")))

what does this do ?

It puts the address of the function in a linker section named .initcallX.init where X is replaced by the level. These functions are called in order to initialize various subsystems and drivers during kernel bootup. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
