      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.

      [PATCH] disable init/initramfs.c: architectures · 67d38229
      Jean-Paul Saman 提交于
      Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs
      when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected.  This saves another 4 kbytes
      on most platfoms (some reserve PAGE_SIZE for initramfs).

      [PATCH] m32r: fix kernel entry address of vmlinux · 3d60f849
      Hirokazu Takata 提交于
      This patch fixes the kernel entry point address of vmlinux.
      
      The m32r kernel entry address is 0x08002000 (physical).
      But, so far, the ENTRY point written in vmlinux.lds.S was not point
      the correct kernel entry address.

          start address 0x08002000	/* OK */
              :
      
      This fix also remedies the following GDB error message (of gdb-6.4 or after)
      at the first operation of kernel debugging:
      "Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)".

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
