- Change INIT_FUNCTION and INIT_SECTION to CODE_SEG("INIT") and DATA_SEG("INIT") respectively
- Remove INIT_FUNCTION from function prototypes
- Remove alloc_text pragma calls as they are not needed anymore
* Add an NDK header to define INIT_FUNCTION/INIT_SECTION globally
* Use _declspec(allocate(x)) and _declspec(code_seg(x)) on MSVC versions that support it
* Use INIT_FUNCTION on functions only and INIT_SECTION on data only (required by MSVC)
* Place INIT_FUNCTION before the return type (required by MSVC)
* Make sure declarations and implementations share the same modifiers (required by MSVC)
* Add a global linker option to suppress warnings about defined but unused INIT section
* Merge INIT section into .text in freeldr
Previously, we would keep sampling the CPU frequency until two subsequent
samples differed by at most 1 MHz. This could take several seconds, and would
unnecessarily delay boot.
Instead, if sampling is too unreliable, just give up and calculate the average
frequency from 10 samples. This is no worse than picking the frequency that
just happened to be returned twice in a row.
The fact that this method of sampling fails could indicate that there's a
problem with our performance counter implementation or timer interrupt,
but that's a separate issue...
