[PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sections

2006-10-27T22:34:51+00:00

Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
teach all the architectures to use it.

This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
multithreaded-probing.

[ARM] nommu: uaccess tweaks

2006-06-28T16:59:46+00:00

MMUless systems have only one address space for all threads, so
both the usual access_ok() checks, and the exception handling do
not make much sense.

Hence, discard the fixup and exception tables at link time, use
memcpy/memset for the user copy/clearing functions, and define
the permission check macros to be constants.

Some of this patch was derived from the equivalent patch by
Hyok S. Choi.

[ARM] Make kernel link address depend on PAGE_OFFSET

2006-01-03T17:28:33+00:00

We are coding the kernel link address into the makefiles, which is
invisibly dependent on PAGE_OFFSET.  If PAGE_OFFSET is changed, the
makefiles also need to be changed.

Make adjustments such that the makefiles encode just the offset from
PAGE_OFFSET for the kernel link address, and use PAGE_OFFSET in the
linker scripts directly.

Provide folk with an idea what to do if the ASSERT statements fail
with their linker.

[ARM] 3061/1: cleanup the XIP link address mess

2005-10-29T20:44:56+00:00

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already
present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link
address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and
also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time.

While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer
in head.S with a nice code reduction.

[ARM] 2927/1: .arch.info - postfix section with .init for `make buildcheck`

2005-09-20T15:45:20+00:00

Patch from Ben Dooks

The `make buildcheck` is erroneously reporting that the .arch.info
list is referencing items in the .init section as it is not itself
postfixed with .init

postfixed with .init
Also, as per rmk's suggestion, rename the __early_param to
.early_param to bring it into line with everything else
