m68k: print memory layout info in boot log

2011-12-24T11:47:57+00:00

Output a table of the kernel memory regions at boot time.
This is taken directly from the ARM architecture code that does this.
The table looks like this:

Virtual kernel memory layout:
    vector  : 0x00000000 - 0x00000400   (   0 KiB)
    kmap    : 0xd0000000 - 0xe0000000   ( 256 MiB)
    vmalloc : 0xc0000000 - 0xcfffffff   ( 255 MiB)
    lowmem  : 0x00000000 - 0x02000000   (  32 MiB)
      .init : 0x00128000 - 0x00134000   (  48 KiB)
      .text : 0x00020000 - 0x00118d54   ( 996 KiB)
      .data : 0x00118d60 - 0x00126000   (  53 KiB)
      .bss  : 0x00134000 - 0x001413e0   (  53 KiB)

This has been very useful while debugging the ColdFire virtual memory
support code. But in general I think it is nice to know extacly where
the kernel has layed everything out on boot.

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

2011-05-20T06:56:56+00:00

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.

linker script: unify usage of discard definition

2009-07-09T02:27:40+00:00

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

2009-06-24T06:13:38+00:00

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.

[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

m68k: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.

2009-04-26T16:20:38+00:00

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text".  Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.h

2008-01-28T22:21:17+00:00

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

i.e. tell modpost that entry point code (that has to be outside
of .init.text for external reasons) is OK to refer to .init.*
