powerpc: Remove arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc

2008-06-10T11:40:22Z

All the maintained platforms are now in arch/powerpc, so the old arch/ppc stuff can now go away.

remove support for un-needed _extratext section

2008-02-06T18:41:01Z

When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

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

2008-01-28T22:21:17Z

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

[POWERPC] Fix ppc kernels after build-id addition

2007-09-22T04:49:21Z

This patch fixes arch/ppc kernels, at least for prep subarch, after build-id addition. Without this, kernels were 3 times the size and bootloader refused to load them. Now they are back to normal again. Tested only with Roland McGrath's "Use LDFLAGS_MODULE only for .ko links" patch applied - boots and works fine.

define new percpu interface for shared data

2007-07-19T17:04:44Z

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.

all-archs: consolidate .data section definition in asm-generic

2007-05-19T07:11:57Z

With this consolidation we can now modify the .data section definition in one spot for all archs. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

all-archs: consolidate .text section definition in asm-generic

Move definition of .text section to asm-generic. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned

2007-05-02T17:27:12Z

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.

[PATCH] disable init/initramfs.c: architectures

2007-02-11T18:51:25Z

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). Signed-off-by: Jean-Paul Saman Cc: Al Viro Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbols

2006-12-07T01:14:04Z

Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported from their object files. Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't define it otherwise linker will fail. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen
