nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

cris: Fix section mismatches in architecture startup code

2015-12-15T13:03:19Z

Section mismatches can now result in build failures. As result, cris:allnoconfig fails to build as follows. WARNING: modpost: Found 7 section mismatch(es). To see full details build your kernel with: 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' FATAL: modpost: Section mismatches detected. Set CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH_WARN_ONLY=y to allow them. Part of the problem is that references from .text to .init.text are not permitted, and such references are used in cris startup code. Since references from .head.text to .init.text are permitted, move cris startup code to a new section .head.text. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson

percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

2011-03-24T17:50:09Z

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline

2011-01-25T13:26:50Z

Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce and performance degradation. This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR() linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline size and use it to align percpu subsections. This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Shaohua Li

CRIS: Fix alignment problem for older ld

CRISv10 uses a pretty old ld, which does not allow ALIGN(0), (It becomes . = 0;) so instead we align to 1 byte. Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson
