From b3438f8266cb1f5010085ac47d7ad6a36a212164 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 11:47:18 -0800 Subject: Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initialization This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so. Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that needs is right now is cpufreq. As reported by Thomas Gleixner: "Commit b4dfdbb3c707474a2254c5b4d7e62be31a4b7da9 ("[PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU breaks cpu frequency notification users, which register the callback > on core_init level."
