MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: remove duplicate _sdata symbol

2012-02-20T17:33:18Z

_sdata is defined twice in vmlinux.lds.S. According to vmlinux.ld.h in asm-generic, _sdata should be marked at the beginning RO_DATA_SECTION. * _sdata = .; * RO_DATA_SECTION(PAGE_SIZE) * RW_DATA_SECTION(...) * _edata = .; Remove the one that is marked at RW_DATA_SECTION.

extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs define _sdata

2011-05-20T06:56:56Z

A new utility function (core_kernel_data()) is used to determine if a passed in address is part of core kernel data or not. It may or may not return true for RO data, but this utility must work for RW data. Thus both _sdata and _edata must be defined and continuous, without .init sections that may later be freed and replaced by volatile memory (memory that can be freed). This utility function is used to determine if data is safe from ever being freed. Thus it should return true for all RW global data that is not in a module or has been allocated, or false otherwise. Also change core_kernel_data() back to the more precise _sdata condition and document the function.

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

MIPS: Add generic support for multiple machines within a single kernel

2011-01-18T18:30:21Z

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on a given SoC within a single kernel image. It is implemented already for several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet. [Ralf: This competes with DT but DT is a much more complex solution and this code has been used by OpenWRT for a long time so for now DT is a bad reason to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.] Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: kaloz@openwrt.org Cc: Luis R.

2009-12-17T01:57:24Z

This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the __irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).

Commit 51b563fc93c8cb5bff1d67a0a71c374e4a4ea049 ("arm, cris, mips, sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0") removed a few CPPFLAGS with vital include paths necessary to build vmlinux.lds on MIPS, and moved the calculation of the 'jiffies' symbol directly to vmlinux.lds.S but forgot to change make ifdef/... to cpp macros.
