From df56863f352ff5f256b355c6175e42c39b4c8815 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jorge Guzman Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 14:24:11 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] include/nuttx: Add link-time iterable sections infrastructure Add generic support for link-time registration of struct instances, modeled after the Zephyr STRUCT_SECTION_* mechanism: - include/nuttx/iterable_sections.h: STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE/DECLARE/ FOREACH/GET/COUNT macros placing instances in name-sorted linker sections delimited by __list_start/_end symbols (attributes through the nuttx/compiler.h macros; FOREACH takes a caller-declared iterator, like list_for_every_entry). - include/nuttx/linker/iterable_sections.ld: ITERABLE_SECTION() macro emitting the KEEP + SORT_BY_NAME collection statements (linker scripts in ARCHSCRIPT are CPP-preprocessed). - include/nuttx/linker/common-rom.ld / common-ram.ld: central aggregators meant to be included by board linker scripts (inside .text and .data respectively); subsystems register their sections here guarded by their Kconfig options, so the fragments expand to nothing on configurations that do not use them. - CONFIG_ITERABLE_SECTIONS_LINKER_INSERT + include/nuttx/linker/ common-insert.ld (added before the board script by tools/Config.mk and by the top-level CMakeLists.txt): optional zero-touch mode that supplements the board script through GNU ld INSERT AFTER, collecting the subsystems' ITERABLE_SECTION blocks in one output section; the common-rom.ld/common-ram.ld fragments expand to nothing in that mode. See the option help for the constraints. - Documentation/components/iterable_sections.rst. First user: the Zephyr zbus message bus port (apps/system/zbus in nuttx-apps); its board integration comes in a companion PR.

The +linker collects all instances into a contiguous, name-sorted array +delimited by ``__list_start``/``__list_end`` symbols, which +the code can then iterate like a plain C array -- no runtime registration +calls, no central list to maintain. + +This is the same mechanism used by the Zephyr RTOS ``STRUCT_SECTION_*`` +macros. The first user of this infrastructure is the zbus message bus +port (``apps/system/zbus``, from nuttx-apps). + +C API +===== + +The macros are provided by ``include/nuttx/iterable_sections.h``: + +.. code-block:: c + + #include + + struct my_entry + { + const char *name; + int value; + }; + + /* In any .c file (const places the instance in ROM): */ + + const STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE(my_entry, entry_foo) = + { + .name = "foo", + .value = 42, + }; + + /* In the file that iterates: declare the section boundaries once, at + * file scope, then loop with a caller-declared pointer. + */ + + STRUCT_SECTION_DECLARE(my_entry); + + void print_entries(void) + { + FAR struct my_entry *entry; + + STRUCT_SECTION_FOREACH(my_entry, entry) + { + printf("%s = %d\n", entry->name, entry->value); + } + } + +Available macros: + +* ``STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE(type, varname)`` -- define an instance inside + the iterable section ``._.static.``. The variable name + is part of the input section name, so the linker's ``SORT_BY_NAME()`` + defines the iteration order (instances may encode ordering in their + names). +* ``STRUCT_SECTION_DECLARE(type)`` -- declare the boundary symbols (file + scope), required before iterating. +* ``STRUCT_SECTION_FOREACH(type, iterator)`` -- for-loop over all + instances; ``iterator`` is a pointer declared by the caller, as with + ``list_for_every_entry()``. +* ``STRUCT_SECTION_GET(type, i, dst)`` -- random access by index. +* ``STRUCT_SECTION_COUNT(type, dst)`` -- number of instances. +* ``STRUCT_SECTION_START/END/START_EXTERN/END_EXTERN`` -- direct access + to the boundary symbols. + +Linker integration +================== + +The collection step needs linker script support. Two mechanisms are +available; both rely on the fact that the linker scripts listed in +``ARCHSCRIPT`` are preprocessed with CPP (arm, arm64, risc-v, xtensa, +x86_64 and tricore), so ``#include`` and ``#ifdef CONFIG_*`` work inside +them. + +Board script include (first-class mechanism) +-------------------------------------------- + +The board linker script includes the central fragments, which expand to +nothing unless a subsystem using iterable sections is enabled: + +.. code-block:: text + + .text : + { + ... + *(.gnu.linkonce.r.*) + #include + _etext = ABSOLUTE(.); + } > flash + + .data : + { + _sdata = ABSOLUTE(.); + ... + #include + . = ALIGN(4); + _edata = ABSOLUTE(.); + } > sram AT > flash + +* ``common-rom.ld`` collects the read-only (``const``) iterable sections + and must be included inside the read-only output section (typically + ``.text``, before ``_etext``). +* ``common-ram.ld`` collects mutable *initialized* iterable sections and + must be included inside ``.data`` (between ``_sdata`` and ``_edata``) + so the startup FLASH-to-RAM copy initializes the entries. +* Subsystems add their sections to these central files, guarded by their + Kconfig option (see ``include/nuttx/linker/common-rom.ld`` for the zbus + example). + +Supplementary INSERT script (zero-touch mode) +--------------------------------------------- + +With ``CONFIG_ITERABLE_SECTIONS_LINKER_INSERT`` the central script +``include/nuttx/linker/common-insert.ld`` is added before the board +script by the build system (``tools/Config.mk`` for Make, the top-level +``CMakeLists.txt`` for CMake) and supplements it through the GNU ld +``INSERT AFTER`` command, so **no board script modification is needed**. +The file defines one output section, ``.iterable_sections``, inserted +after ``.text``; subsystems add their ``ITERABLE_SECTION()`` blocks +inside it, guarded by their Kconfig option, exactly as in +``common-rom.ld`` (which expands to nothing in this mode). + +This mode has constraints, discovered the hard way and worth knowing +before choosing it: + +* GNU ld only (``INSERT`` is not supported by the macOS ld64). +* The INSERT script must come *before* the board script on the linker + command line. Adding it via ``ARCHSCRIPT`` from ``tools/Config.mk`` + guarantees that, because ``Config.mk`` is included by the board + ``Make.defs`` before it appends its own script. (The reversed order + fails with ``.text not found for insert``.) +* GNU ld assigns an INSERTed output section to a ``MEMORY`` region by + *attribute matching in declaration order*, not by inheriting the anchor + section's region. The ROM/flash region must therefore be the first + region compatible with read-only sections. Boards declaring a generic + ``rwx`` region at a lower address first (e.g. an ITCM at ``0x0``) are + incompatible with this mode and must use the board script include. +* Giving the inserted section an explicit address is **not** a fix: a + section with an explicit address does not consume the memory region, + so the next region-allocated section overlaps it. + +Alignment rules +=============== + +Instances are aligned to the natural alignment of their type +(``STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE`` adds ``__aligned__(__alignof__(type))``), and +``sizeof`` is always a multiple of ``alignof``, so the collected section +can be indexed as a plain array with no padding between entries from +different compilation units. The fragments additionally align the list +boundaries to 4 bytes. + +Adding a new iterable type +========================== + +1. Define the instances with ``STRUCT_SECTION_ITERABLE(mytype, name)``. +2. Add ``ITERABLE_SECTION(mytype)`` to + ``include/nuttx/linker/common-rom.ld`` (const) or ``common-ram.ld`` + (mutable initialized), guarded by the subsystem Kconfig option. +3. Iterate with ``STRUCT_SECTION_FOREACH(mytype, it)`` after + ``STRUCT_SECTION_DECLARE(mytype);`` at file scope. + +Caveat on generated linker scripts: the preprocessed ``.ld.tmp`` files +only depend on the board script and ``.config``; after editing the +central fragments during development, remove the ``.tmp`` files (or run +``make clean``) to force regeneration. diff --git a/Kconfig b/Kconfig index e0cfa1c37bec6..a38ef5dfeb545 100644 --- a/Kconfig +++ b/Kconfig @@ -2957,6 +2957,30 @@ config DEBUG_LINK_MAP and debugging magic section games, and for seeing which pieces of code get eliminated with DEBUG_OPT_UNUSED_SECTIONS. +config ITERABLE_SECTIONS_LINKER_INSERT + bool "Collect iterable sections through a supplementary INSERT linker script" + default n + depends on ARCH_TOOLCHAIN_GNU + ---help--- + Zero-touch mode for link-time iterable sections + (include/nuttx/iterable_sections.h): instead of the board linker + script including , the supplementary + script is added before the board + script (Make and CMake builds) and supplements it with GNU ld + "INSERT AFTER .text"; subsystems add their ITERABLE_SECTION blocks + to that central file. + + Leave disabled for boards whose linker script already includes + the common fragments. + + Constraints: requires GNU ld, a board script with an output + section named ".text", and a MEMORY layout where the ROM/flash + region is the first region compatible with read-only sections + (GNU ld assigns INSERTed sections to a region by attribute + matching, in declaration order).
