<title>[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned</title>

<id>b6e3590f8145c77b8fcef3247e2412335221412f</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and
Ingo suggested KVM as well).

Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu
memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.

Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs
when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected.  This saves another 4 kbytes

Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text
so that ld will generate relocations.  Allowing a relocatable
kernel to relocate them.  We can't actually use the symbol names
because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported
from their object files.

Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't
define it otherwise linker will fail.

This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for

Fix these 2.6.19-rc1 build warnings from modpost:

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:_sinittext from .text between 'core_kernel_text' (at offset 0x3e060) and '__kernel_text_address'

The crux of the matter is that modpost only checks the relocatable
sections. i386 vmlinux has none, so modpost does no checking on it (it
does on the modules).  However, sparc vmlinux has plenty of
relocatable sections because it is being built with 'ld -r' (to allow
for btfixup processing).  So for sparc, modpost does do a lot of
checking. Sure enough, running modpost on arch/sparc/boot/image yields
no output (i.e. all is well).

modpost.c check_sec_ref() has:
                /* We want to process only relocation sections and not .init */
                if (sechdrs[i].sh_type == SHT_RELA) {
			// check here
                } else if (sechdrs[i].sh_type == SHT_REL) {
			// check here

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
