alpha: unbreak percpu again

2009-05-12T21:11:35+00:00

Commit 9b8de7479d0dbab1ed98b5b015d44232c9d3d08e ("FRV: Fix the section
attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()") cleaned up DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU()
macros and in the process made alpha percpu.h include
include/asm-generic/percpu.h which breaks compilation due to duplicate
definitions.

Remove inclusion of generic asm helper file and define whatever necessary
in alpha header proper.

In the longer term, percpu definitions will be unified and all these
little subtlties will be removed.

alpha: binfmt_aout fix

2009-05-02T22:36:10+00:00

This fixes the problem introduced by commit 3bfacef412 (get rid of
special-casing the /sbin/loader on alpha): osf/1 ecoff binary segfaults
when binfmt_aout built as module.  That happens because aout binary
handler gets on the top of the binfmt list due to late registration, and
kernel attempts to execute the binary without preparatory work that must
be done by binfmt_loader.

Fixed by changing the registration order of the default binfmt handlers
using list_add_tail() and introducing insert_binfmt() function which
places new handler on the top of the binfmt list.  This might be generally
useful for installing arch-specific frontends for default handlers or just
for overriding them.

alpha: exception table sorting

2009-05-02T22:36:10+00:00

Exception fixups for sections other than .text (like one in futex_init())
break the natural ordering of fixup entries, so sorting is required.

Without that the result of the exception table search depends on phase of
the moon.

alpha: titan and marvel build fixes

2009-05-02T22:36:10+00:00

These platforms got broken after u64 => 'long long' conversion.

Apparently that change was compile-tested with 'make allmodconfig', but it
doesn't include systems that depend on !ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS.

alpha: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.

2009-04-26T16:20:38+00:00

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text".  Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()

2009-04-22T02:39:59+00:00

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU().  This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.

On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section.  The linker throws
up the following errors:

kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o

To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU().  However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Allow rwlocks to re-enable interrupts

2009-04-03T02:05:11+00:00

Pass the original flags to rwlock arch-code, so that it can re-enable
interrupts if implemented for that architecture.

Initially, make __raw_read_lock_flags and __raw_write_lock_flags stubs
which just do the same thing as non-flags variants.
