parisc: fix unwind with recent gcc versions

2009-11-30T16:20:24+00:00

kernel unwinding is broken with gcc >= 4.x.  Part of the problem is that
binutils seems very sensitive to where the unwind information is stored.

parisc: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.

2009-09-25T00:16:21+00:00

This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving
.data.init_task inside the _edata.

It also changes the alignment of .data.init_task from 16384 to
THREAD_SIZE, which can in some configurations be larger than 16384.  I
believe that this change fixes a potential bug on those
configurations.

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 ]

parisc: add ftrace (function and graph tracer) functionality

2009-03-31T02:51:34+00:00

This patch adds the ftrace debugging functionality to the parisc kernel.
It will currently only work with 64bit kernels, because the gcc options -pg
and -ffunction-sections can't be enabled at the same time and -ffunction-sections
is still needed to be able to link 32bit kernels.
