o Move all files from sparc64/kernel/ to sparc/kernel - rename as appropriate o Update sparc/Makefile to the changes o Update sparc/kernel/Makefile to include the sparc64 files NOTE: This commit changes link order on sparc64! Link order had to change for either of sparc32 and sparc64. And assuming sparc64 see more testing than sparc32 change link order on sparc64 where issues will be caught faster.

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. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in the generic vmlinux.lds.h. This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy us much good. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
Apply a consistent format to vmlinux.lds. The file is now to some degree readable. In addition move several labels inside the braces such that they reflect the actual start address of a section. Without this the label would not reflect if ld added alignment. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
This fixes boot failures when the build-id LD option is actually used, because without it we end up with multiple PT_LOAD sections which the SILO boot loader cannot handle. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu, but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus. One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the interface to achieve this is not clean. This patch: Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h. But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE. Introduce a new section definition named: RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter. RODATA are provided for backward compatibility. On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for sparc64 in reset of the script Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
