[IA64] define "_sdata" symbol

2011-05-20T17:38:53+00:00

core_kernel_data() wants to know if an address looks like kernel
data. IA64 has had _edata forever, but never needed _sdata until
now.

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.

[IA64] beautify vmlinux.lds.h

2010-06-21T22:08:44+00:00

Use the same style as used for C code in vmlinux.lds.h.

This is the same format as have been gradually introduced
for other architectures in the kernel.

This patch do not introduce any functional changes.

Note: Use "git diff -w" to supress whitespace noise.

ia64: allocate percpu area for cpu0 like percpu areas for other cpus

2009-10-02T04:28:56+00:00

cpu0 used special percpu area reserved by the linker, __cpu0_per_cpu,
which is set up early in boot by head.S.  However, this doesn't
guarantee that the area will be on the same node as cpu0 and the
percpu area for cpu0 ends up very far away from percpu areas for other
cpus which cause problems for congruent percpu allocator.

This patch makes percpu area initialization allocate percpu area for
cpu0 like any other cpus and copy it from __cpu0_per_cpu which now
resides in the __init area.  This means that for cpu0, percpu area is
first setup at __cpu0_per_cpu early by head.S and then moved to an
area in the linear mapping during memory initialization and it's not
allowed to take a pointer to percpu variables between head.S and
memory initialization.
