      alpha: fix percpu build breakage · b01e8dc3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for
      modules to work around addressing range limitation.  This is done via
      generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the
      assembler to generate external reference.  This happens behind the
      compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables
      in modules are unused.
      
      This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu
      variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however,
      recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as
      __used can't be used for declaration.  Also, in the process,
      PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken.
      
      This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions
      and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules.  This
      also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

      gcov: fix __ctors_start alignment · 2a2325e6
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
      However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
      on the size of the previous sections.
      
      Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
      the ctors contents are properly aligned.  However the extra zeroes at the
      beginning aren't expected by the code.  When walking the functions
      pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
      random jumps.  So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
      aligned as well.
      
      Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390:

      asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.h · 39a449d9
      Tim Abbott 提交于
      We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h,
      but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which
      is quite confusing.  We should switch the macro in the linker script to
      INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch).  Since
      the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in
      vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.
      
      However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire
      .data.init_task section.  So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION.
      
      I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the
      old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had
      tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass
      the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

      asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: Fix up RW_DATA_SECTION definition. · 73f1d939
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters,
      while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted
      in the comments.
      
      There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just
      stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new
      architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

      kmap_types: make most arches use generic header file · e4c9dd0f
      Randy Dunlap 提交于
      Convert most arches to use asm-generic/kmap_types.h.
      
      Move the KM_FENCE_ macro additions into asm-generic/kmap_types.h,
      controlled by __WITH_KM_FENCE from each arch's kmap_types.h file.
      
      Would be nice to be able to add custom KM_types per arch, but I don't yet
      see a nice, clean way to do that.
      
      Built on x86_64, i386, mips, sparc, alpha(tonyb), powerpc(tonyb), and
      68k(tonyb).
      
      Note: avr32 should be able to remove KM_PTE2 (since it's not used) and
      then just use the generic kmap_types.h file.  Get avr32 maintainer
      approval.

      lib: Provide generic atomic64_t implementation · 09d4e0ed
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
      we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.
      
      This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
      spinlocks to provide atomicity.  For each atomic operation, the address
      of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
      spinlocks.  That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
      operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.
      
      On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
      interrupts around each operation.  In fact gcc eliminates the whole
      atomic64_lock variable as well.

      Improve vmlinux.lds.h support for arch specific linker scripts · ef53dae8
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts
      provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h
      
      With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced
      in line count and their readability are improved - IMO.
      
      A sample linker script is included to give the preferred
      order of the sections for the architectures that do not
      have any special requirments.
      
      These definitions are also a first step towards eventual
      support for -ffunction-sections.
      The definitions makes it much easier to do a global
      renaming of section names - but the main purpose is
      to clean up the linker scripts.
      
      Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve
      the definitions - all faults are mine.
