2007-07-19powerpc: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segmentRoland McGrath
This changes the powerpc 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.

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.

2007-05-22[POWERPC] Fix powerpc vmlinux.lds.SBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Sam's recent change in 7664709b44a13e2e0b545e2dd8e7b8797a1748dc broke things for us because we ended up with *(.text.*) before *(.text), whereas previously *(.text) was first. This was important because the start of the text section contains the kernel entry point. In fact, we don't need that *(.text.*) thing anymore and it incorrectly matched .text.init.refok, thus putting it before .text. .. ouch !

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.

Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected.

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpcJeremy Fitzhardinge
This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general. There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several functions. Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which is never used.

2006-12-07[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbolsEric W. Biederman
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.

2006-05-24[PATCH] powerpc: make iSeries flattened device tree dynamicStephen Rothwell

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2005-11-05powerpc: Fix vmlinux.lds.S for 32-bitPaul Mackerras
We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally. Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for 32-bit. With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem, but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of 0xc0000000. Oops. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-03powerpc: Set entry point and text address in linker scriptMichael Ellerman
Currently we set the kernel entry point and the address of the text section in the Makefile, using CONFIG_KERNEL_START. But we've already got <asm/page.h> in the linker script, so we can just use KERNELBASE directly. That means if we ever change KERNELBASE there's one less place to change it. And we can set the entry point with ENTRY(). There are zero differences from "readelf -a vmlinux" with or without this patch. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

2005-09-26powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.Paul Mackerras
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc. For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc. The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
