debug: Fix __bug_table[] in arch linker scripts

2017-04-03T08:22:40+00:00

The kbuild test robot reported this build failure on a number
of architectures:

 >         make.cross ARCH=arm
 >    lib/lib.a(bug.o): In function `find_bug':
 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__start___bug_table'
 > >> lib/bug.c:135: undefined reference to `__stop___bug_table'

Caused by:

  19d436268dde ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

Which moved the BUG_TABLE from RO_DATA_SECTION() to RW_DATA_SECTION(),
but a number of architectures don't use RW_DATA_SECTION(), so they
ended up with no __bug_table[] ...

Ideally all those would use RW_DATA_SECTION() in their linker scripts,
but that's for another day.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

ia64: remove paravirt code

2015-06-10T21:26:32+00:00

All the ia64 pvops code is now dead code since both
xen and kvm support have been ripped out [0] [1]. Just
that no one had troubled to rip this stuff out. The only
useful remaining pieces were the old pvops docs but that
was recently also generalized and moved out from ia64 [2].

This has been run time tested on an ia64 Madison system.

ia64/xen: Remove Xen support for ia64

2013-12-11T00:11:07+00:00

ia64 has not been supported by Xen since 4.2 so it's time to drop
Xen/ia64 from Linux as well.

[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.
