[ARM] 5565/2: Use PAGE_SIZE and RO_DATA() in link script

2009-06-25T13:00:59+00:00

Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard-
coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated
for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE
was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric
constants.

[ARM] 5557/1: Discard some ARM.ex.exit.text sections when !HOTPLUG or !HOTPLUG_CPU

2009-06-19T15:44:21+00:00

Not discarding these sections when hotplug isn't available prevents the
kernel from building.

arm: Provide _sdata and __bss_stop in the vmlinux.lds.S file

2009-05-30T13:00:17+00:00

_sdata and __bss_stop are common symbols defined by many architectures
and made available to the kernel via asm-generic/sections.h. Kmemleak
uses these symbols when scanning the data sections.

linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archs

2009-03-10T07:27:48+00:00

Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs

Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load,
__per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end.  There were three archs which
didn't have it.  Update them as follows.

* powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro.  Compile tested for
  powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64.

* ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro.  __phys_per_cpu_start is
  identical to __per_cpu_load.  Compile tested and symbol table looks
  identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load.

* arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition.  Currently uses
  unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro.  Dunno
  whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch
  peculiarity so I left it alone.  Please break it up and use PERCPU()
  if possible.

[ARM] 5383/2: unwind: Add core support for ARM stack unwinding

2009-02-19T11:26:24+00:00

This patch adds the main functionality for parsing the stack unwinding
information generated by the ARM EABI toolchains. The unwinding
information consists of an index with a pair of words per function and a
table with unwinding instructions. For more information, see "Exception
Handling ABI for the ARM Architecture" at:

linker script: add missing .data.percpu.page_aligned

2009-01-17T06:26:32+00:00

arm, arm/mach-integrator and powerpc were missing
.data.percpu.page_aligned in their percpu output section definitions.
Add it.

[ARM] use asm/sections.h

2008-12-01T11:53:07+00:00

Update to use the asm/sections.h header rather than declaring these
symbols ourselves.  Change __data_start to _data to conform with the
naming found within asm/sections.h.

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

2008-01-28T22:21:17+00:00

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.
