  • 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.

    Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
    notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
    are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
    arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
    As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
    content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
    of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

    This removes all the arch/blackfin uses of the __cpuinit macros from
    all C files. Currently blackfin does not have any __CPUINIT used in
    assembly files.

  • Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
    copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
    ./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.

    It also removes:
    - verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
    - file names (you are looking at the file)
    - bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
    - "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right

    It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
    like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).
