This patch allow the rpmh driver to be loaded as a permenent
module. Meaning it can be loaded from a module, but then cannot
be unloaded.

Ideally, it would include a remove hook and related logic, but
the rpmh driver is fairly core to the system, so once its loaded
with almost anythign else to get the system to go, the dependencies
are not likely to ever also be removed.

So making it a permenent module at least improves things slightly
over requiring it to be a built in driver.

Feedback would be appreciated!

Hi John,

with commit efde2659b0fe ("drivers: qcom: rpmh-rsc: Use rcuidle
tracepoints for rpmh") the rpmh-rsc driver fails to build as a
module:

drivers/soc/qcom/rpmh-rsc.c:281:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rpmh_send_msg_rcuidle' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-decr]
                trace_rpmh_send_msg_rcuidle(drv, tcs_id, j, msgid, cmd);


The problem is that the _rcuidle() functions are not generated for modules:

#ifndef MODULE
#define __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU(name, proto, args, cond, data_proto, data_args) \
	static inline void trace_##name##_rcuidle(proto)		\
	{								\
		if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_##name.key))		\
			__DO_TRACE(&__tracepoint_##name,		\
				TP_PROTO(data_proto),			\
				TP_ARGS(data_args),			\
				TP_CONDITION(cond), 1);			\
	}
#else
#define __DECLARE_TRACE_RCU(name, proto, args, cond, data_proto, data_args)
#endif

Not sure what the best solution would be in this case. Having the macro
define a dummy function for modules would fix the build error, however it
would be confusing that the event is traced when the driver is built-in,
but not when it is built as a module.

I imagine the goal behind making this driver a module is to have a single
kernel image for multiple SoC platforms, without too much platform
specific code in the kernel image itself.

I guess the question is whether there any options for keeping the driver
modular and having consistent tracing behavior, short of removing the
tracepoint.

Yea.  Stephen found that issue in -next last night once Bjorn added
the patches to his tree yesterday.

I've reached out to see if the restrictions on the trace_*_rcuidle
calls on modules is still necessary in this thread:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CALAqxLV4rM74wuzuZ+BkUi+keccxkAxv30N4vrFO7CVQ5vnT1A@mail.gmail.com/

For now, I suggested Bjorn revert the patch in his tree, and I'll try
to figure out an alternative solution to the trace call.

thanks
