The two recent patches b12966af1 ("BUILD: debug: mark the
__start_mem_stats/__stop_mem_stats symbols as weak") and 2a06e248f
("BUILD: initcall: mark the __start_i_* symbols as weak, not global")
aimed at fixing a build warning and resulted in a build breakage on
MacOS which doesn't have a ".weak" asm statement.
We've already had MacOS-specific asm() statements for section names, so
this patch continues on this trend by moving HA_GLOBL() to compiler.h
and using ".globl" on MacOS since apparently nobody complains there.
It is debatable whether to expose this only when !USE_OBSOLETE_LINKER
or all the time, but since these are just macroes it's no big deal to
let them be available when needed and let the caller decide on the
build conditions.
If any of the patches above is backported, this one will need to as
well.
Just like for previous fix, these symbols are marked ".globl" during
their declaration, but their later mention uses __attribute__((weak)),
so it's better to only use ".weak" during the declaration so that the
symbol's class does not change.
No need to backport this unless someone reports build issues.
The STG_REGISTER init level is used to register known keywords and
protocol stacks. It must be called earlier because some of the init
code already relies on it to be known. For example, "haproxy -vv"
for now is constrained to start very late only because of this.
This patch moves it between STG_LOCK and STG_ALLOC, which is fine as
it's used for static registration.
Rename __GLOBL and __GLOBL1 to __HA_GLOBL and __HA_GLOBL1, as the former are
already defined on FreeBSD.
This should be backported to 2.4, 2.3 and 2.2.
Due to length restrictions on OSX the initcall sections are called "i_"
there while they're called "init_" on other OSes. However the start and
end of sections are still called "__start_init_" and "__stop_init_",
which forces to have distinct code between the OSes. Let's switch everyone
to "i_" and rename the symbols accordingly.
