This will be useful to define a NULL-terminated array inside a function
call.
Currently, string arrays passed to match() are defined in separate
places:
static const char *const init_sections[] = { ALL_INIT_SECTIONS, NULL };
static const char *const text_sections[] = { ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS, NULL };
static const char *const optim_symbols[] = { "*.constprop.*", NULL };
...
/* Check for pattern 5 */
if (match(fromsec, text_sections) &&
match(tosec, init_sections) &&
match(fromsym, optim_symbols))
return 0;
With the new helper macro, you can list the patterns directly in the
function call, like this:
/* Check for pattern 5 */
if (match(fromsec, PATTERNS(ALL_TEXT_SECTIONS)) &&
match(tosec, PATTERNS(ALL_INIT_SECTIONS)) &&
match(fromsym, PATTERNS("*.contprop.*")))
return 0;

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
