linker script: unify usage of discard definition

2009-07-09T02:27:40+00:00

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences.  This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.

This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro.  As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.

ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64,
alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.

linker script: throw away .discard section

2009-06-24T06:13:38+00:00

x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do.  Also,
.discard is not thrown away while linking modules.  Make every arch
and module linking throw it away.  This will be used to define dummy
variables for percpu declarations and definitions.

This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

sparc: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.

2009-04-26T16:20:39+00:00

This has the consequence of changing the section name use for head
code from ".text.head" to ".head.text".  Since this commit changes all
users in the architecture, this change should be harmless.

sparc: unify sections.h

2008-12-27T08:35:12+00:00

While doing this use standard names for start/end
so we could use definitions straight from asm-generic
for all the typical symbols.

This also allowed us to drop the use of PROVIDE in the linker
script so sprc is less non-standard on this area.

sparc: use .data.init_task section for init_thread_union

2008-12-27T08:34:41+00:00

Use a dedicated aligned section for the init_thread_union
variable and declare this section in vmlinux.lds.

This align sparc with most other architectures.  Eventually this allow
the init_task bits to be unified across all architectures.

sparc,sparc64: prepare vmlinux.lds.S for unification

2008-12-04T17:17:11+00:00

This patch makes the two vmlinux.lds.S files identical
and serve as documentation for the changes in each file.

This mainly add stuffs to sparc32 that is otherwise only
used by sparc64 and thus it should have no effect.

Build tested only.
