      linker script: unify usage of discard definition · 023bf6f1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
      considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
      implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
      tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
      
      This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
      end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
      uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
      discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
      
      ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
      subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
      image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.
      
      defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
      alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.

      linker script: throw away .discard section · 405d967d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do.  Also,
      .discard is not thrown away while linking modules.  Make every arch
      and module linking throw it away.  This will be used to define dummy
      variables for percpu declarations and definitions.
      
      This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

      [CRIS] Remove links from CRIS build · c5ec6fb0
      Jesper Nilsson 提交于
      Remove the links to architecture and machine dependent directories
      (boot, lib, drivers, arch, mach)
      
      The links were created and used mostly from the arch/cris/Makefile,
      so why not dispense with them altogether?
      Changed $(ARCH) to "cris" in Makefile, it is easier to read this way.
      
      The CRISv32 head.S common files for the kernel and compressed images
      needed to be modified to use ifdefs instead of using the now removed
      mach link. Since there are only two versions, this is not a huge loss
      in readability.
      
      The link to vmlinux.lds.S is also replaced with a merged version
      which uses ifdefs to select the correct layout.
      System.map before and after are identical.

      CRIS v32: Fix startup oops and replace hardcoded pagesize in vmlinux.lds.S · baa69b12
      Jesper Nilsson 提交于
      - Move alignment of init data to page size outside define CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
        This avoids oops due to memory on the same page as init data being freed.
      - Change hardcoded page size to use macro from asm/page.h
      - Add reserved memory via CONFIG_ETRAX_VMEM_SIZE.
      - Use available defines for TEXT_TEXT and INITCALLS.
      - Cleanup whitespace.

      define new percpu interface for shared data · 5fb7dc37
      Fenghua Yu 提交于
      per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
      exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
      but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
      not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
      cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
      unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
      
      One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
      cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
      both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
      interface to achieve this is not clean.
      
      This patch:
      
      Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
      as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
      elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
      only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
