arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42+00:00

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

mtd/uclinux: Use generic __bss_stop instead of _ebss

2012-06-27T07:59:43+00:00

The standard (see BSS_SECTION() in and ) symbol for the end of BSS is __bss_stop. This allows to remove all local declarations that have been added to several architectures just to please CONFIG_MTD_UCLINUX.

sh: kexec: Add PHYSICAL_START

2011-10-28T06:03:43+00:00

Add PHYSICAL_START kernel configuration parameter to set the address at which the kernel should be loaded. It has been observed on an sh7757lcr that simply modifying MEMORY_START does not achieve this goal for 32bit sh. This is due to MEMORY_OFFSET in arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S bot being based on MEMORY_START on such systems. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

2011-03-24T17:50:09+00:00

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline

2011-01-25T13:26:50+00:00

Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce and performance degradation. This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR() linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline size and use it to align percpu subsections. This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Shaohua Li

sh: Kill off some superfluous legacy PMB special casing.

2010-02-16T12:43:38+00:00

The __va()/__pa() offsets and the boot memory offsets are consistent for all PMB users, so there is no need to special case these for legacy PMB. Kill the special casing off and depend on CONFIG_PMB across the board. This also fixes up yet another addressing bug for sh64. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: Fix up legacy PMB mode offset calculation.

The change for fixing up sh64 inadvertently inverted the logic for legacy PMB, fix that back up. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh64: fix up memory offset calculation.

The linker script offsets were broken by the recent 29/32-bit integration, so this fixes it up for sh64. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: Kill off the special uncached section and fixmap.

2010-01-21T07:05:25+00:00

Now that cached_to_uncached works as advertized in 32-bit mode and we're never going to be able to map < 16MB anyways, there's no need for the special uncached section. Kill it off. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt
