2009-11-04m32r: add NOTES to vmlinux.lds.S to remove .note.gnu.build-id sectionHirokazu Takata
Building with --build-id option, .note.gnu.build-id section is added to vmlinux.bin. But some old buggy binutils creates a huge vmlinux.bin, and a bootloader fails to boot its zImage as well. This patch adds a NOTES macro to a linker script vmlinux.ld.S to put .note.gnu.build-id section into .note section. Then, the .note section will be removed, because "-R .note" option is specified in OBJCOPYFLAGS to make a vmlinux.bin binary. Signed-off-by: Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org>
2009-09-23m32r: Cleanup linker script using new linker script macros.Tim Abbott
This patch is largely a straightforward conversion. One thing to note is that the new macros use fewer separate output sections than the old code; this should have no functional impact but is relevant for people objdumping vmlinux files. Also note that it moves the .data.init_task output sections inside _edata. Signed-off-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@ksplice.com> Signed-off-by: Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org>
2009-09-23m32r: Move the spi_stack_top and spu_stack_top into .init.data section.Tim Abbott
Since these get squashed into the .data output section by the m32r linker script, it seems likely that they don't need their own input sections. At Hirokazu Takata's suggestion, we place these structures in .init.data rather than just placing them in .data (since they are only used at init time). This patch is preparation for cleaning up the m32r architecture to use the new macros in vmlinux.lds.h; if these sections are indeed not needed, then we can use the RW_DATA_SECTION macro for m32r and save a bunch of redundant code.

2009-09-23m32r: Remove unused .altinstructions and .exit.* code from linker script.Tim Abbott
It appears that m32r copied the .altinstructions definition from x86 when the architecture was first merged into Linux. m32r doesn't put anything in .altinstructions, so this is just dead code. The following block affecting .exit.text/.exit.data, which has a comment also copied from x86, should also be deleted; the linker script later discards the .exit.text and .exit.data sections.

2009-07-09linker script: unify usage of discard definitionTejun Heo
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.

2009-06-24linker script: throw away .discard sectionTejun Heo
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.

2009-04-26m32r: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.Tim Abbott

2007-07-19define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu
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.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-alignedJeremy Fitzhardinge
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.

2007-02-11[PATCH] m32r: fix kernel entry address of vmlinuxHirokazu Takata

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
