<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
Replace the hardcoded 4096 value with the PAGE_SIZE macro.
Converted a few decimal numbers to readable hex numbers.

Use of PAGE_SIZE required a small change to page.h
to allow PAGE_SIZE to be used from assembler/linker scripts.

Introduce a consistent style in vmlinux.lds.
This style is gradually being introduced for all archs.

A few lables were moved inside the section definition so
they are assigned the correct value of gcc decide to align
the content to another address than the one . has.
In the past this has fixed several bugs but for s390 it
will not impact due to all the alignmnet already introduced.

Stabs definitions are consolidated in asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
This patch also introduce support for DWARF - without knowing
if this makes sense for s390.

This changes the s390 linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so that
ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along
with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

<title>define new percpu interface for shared data</title>

<content type='text'>
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.
