MIPS: Discard .eh_frame sections in linker script.

2013-08-26T13:33:41+00:00

Some toolchains (including Cavium OCTEON SDK) are emitting .eh_frame
sections by default.  Discard them as they are useless in the kernel.

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

MIPS: Align swapper_pg_dir to 64K for better TLB Refill code.

2012-10-11T09:02:40+00:00

We can save an instruction in the TLB Refill path for kernel mappings
by aligning swapper_pg_dir on a 64K boundary.  The address of
swapper_pg_dir can be generated with a single LUI instead of
LUI/{D}ADDUI.

The alignment of __init_end is bumped up to 64K so there are no holes
between it and swapper_pg_dir, which is placed at the very beginning
of .bss.

The alignment of invalid_pmd_table and invalid_pte_table can be
relaxed to PAGE_SIZE.  We do this by using __page_aligned_bss, which
has the added benefit of eliminating alignment holes in .bss.

MIPS: Properly align the .data..init_task section.

2012-07-19T09:23:43+00:00

Improper alignment can lead to unbootable systems and/or random
crashes.

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

2012-02-20T17:33:18+00:00

_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.

Merge branch 'for-2.6.40' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu

2011-05-24T18:53:42+00:00

* 'for-2.6.40' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
  percpu: Unify input section names
  percpu: Avoid extra NOP in percpu_cmpxchg16b_double
  percpu: Cast away printk format warning
  percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

Fix up fairly trivial conflict in arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h as per Tejun

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.
