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.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42+00:00

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.

Move the definition of __irq_entry to  so that the
users don't need to pull in .  Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

mtd/uclinux: Use generic __bss_stop instead of _ebss

2012-06-27T07:59:43+00:00

The standard (see BSS_SECTION() in  and
) symbol for the end of BSS is __bss_stop.
This allows to remove all local declarations that have been added to
several architectures just to please CONFIG_MTD_UCLINUX.

sh: kexec: Add PHYSICAL_START

2011-10-28T06:03:43+00:00

Add PHYSICAL_START kernel configuration parameter to set the address at
which the kernel should be loaded.

It has been observed on an sh7757lcr that simply modifying MEMORY_START
does not achieve this goal for 32bit sh. This is due to MEMORY_OFFSET in
arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S bot being based on MEMORY_START on such
systems.

percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

2011-03-24T17:50:09+00:00

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly.  The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.

The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.

This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE.  While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.

For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area.  As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

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.

sh: Kill off some superfluous legacy PMB special casing.

2010-02-16T12:43:38+00:00

The __va()/__pa() offsets and the boot memory offsets are consistent for
all PMB users, so there is no need to special case these for legacy PMB.
Kill the special casing off and depend on CONFIG_PMB across the board.
This also fixes up yet another addressing bug for sh64.
