2008-01-28all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.hSam Ravnborg1-5/+5
This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in the generic vmlinux.lds.h. This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy us much good. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

2007-07-19define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu1-0/+1
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.

2007-05-08[ARM] Ensure head text is always placed at the start of kernelRussell King1-3/+7
Commit 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a highlighted that we may end up with the head text placed elsewhere in the kernel image. Introduce a new .text.head section to contain the initial kernel startup code, and always place this section at the beginning of the kernel image.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-alignedJeremy Fitzhardinge1-1/+1
Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and Ingo suggested KVM as well). Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.

2007-02-25[ARM] 4224/2: allow XIP kernel to boot againNicolas Pitre1-0/+1
Since commit 2552fc27ff79b10b9678d92bcaef21df38bb7bb6 XIP kernels failed to boot because (_end - PAGE_OFFSET - 1) is much smaller than the size of the kernel text and data in the XIP case, causing the kernel not to be entirely mapped. Even in the non-XIP case, the use of (_end - PAGE_OFFSET - 1) is wrong because it produces a too large value if TEXT_OFFSET is larger than 1MB. Finally the original code was performing one loop too many. Let's break the loop when the section pointer has passed the last byte of the kernel instead.

2007-02-11[PATCH] disable init/initramfs.c: architecturesJean-Paul Saman1-0/+2
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).

2006-06-28[ARM] nommu: uaccess tweaksRussell King1-0/+8
MMUless systems have only one address space for all threads, so both the usual access_ok() checks, and the exception handling do not make much sense. Hence, discard the fixup and exception tables at link time, use memcpy/memset for the user copy/clearing functions, and define the permission check macros to be constants.

2006-01-03[ARM] Make kernel link address depend on PAGE_OFFSETRussell King1-7/+5
We are coding the kernel link address into the makefiles, which is invisibly dependent on PAGE_OFFSET. If PAGE_OFFSET is changed, the makefiles also need to be changed. Make adjustments such that the makefiles encode just the offset from PAGE_OFFSET for the kernel link address, and use PAGE_OFFSET in the linker scripts directly.

2005-10-29[ARM] 3061/1: cleanup the XIP link address messNicolas Pitre1-1/+10
Patch from Nicolas Pitre Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time. While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer in head.S with a nice code reduction.

2005-05-05[PATCH] ARM: Fix kernel stack offset calculationsRussell King1-1/+2
Various places in the ARM kernel implicitly assumed that kernel stacks are always 8K due to hard coded constants. Replace these constants with definitions. Correct the allowable range of kernel stack pointer values within the allocation. Arrange for the entire kernel stack to be zeroed, not just the upper 4K if CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE is set.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+166
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!
