| * asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: shuffle INIT_TASK* macro names in vmlinux.lds.hTim Abbott2009-06-271-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h, but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which is quite confusing. We should switch the macro in the linker script to INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch). Since the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S. However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire .data.init_task section. So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION. I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

| * asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h: Fix up RW_DATA_SECTION definition.Paul Mundt2009-06-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters, while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted in the comments. There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

* | alpha: fix percpu build breakageTejun Heo2009-07-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables in modules are unused. This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however, recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as __used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process, PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken. This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

* | gcov: fix __ctors_start alignmentHeiko Carstens2009-07-011-1/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit). However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent on the size of the previous sections. Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always aligned as well. Fixes this crash on an allyesconfig on s390: [ 0.582482] Kernel BUG at 0000000000000012 [verbose debug info unavailable] [ 0.582489] illegal operation: 0001 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC [ 0.582496] Modules linked in: [ 0.582501] CPU: 0 Tainted: G W 2.6.31-rc1-dirty #273 [ 0.582506] Process swapper (pid: 1, task: 000000003f218000, ksp: 000000003f2238e8) [ 0.582510] Krnl PSW : 0704200180000000 0000000000000012 (0x12) [ 0.582518] R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:2 PM:0 EA:3 [ 0.582524] Krnl GPRS: 0000000000036727 0000000000000010 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 [ 0.582529] 00000000001dfefa 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000040 [ 0.582534] 0000000001fff0f0 0000000001790628 0000000002296048 0000000002296048 [ 0.582540] 00000000020c438e 0000000001786000 0000000002014a66 000000003f223e60 [ 0.582553] Krnl Code:>0000000000000012: 0000 unknown [ 0.582559] 0000000000000014: 0000 unknown [ 0.582564] 0000000000000016: 0000 unknown [ 0.582570] 0000000000000018: 0000 unknown [ 0.582575] 000000000000001a: 0000 unknown [ 0.582580] 000000000000001c: 0000 unknown [ 0.582585] 000000000000001e: 0000 unknown [ 0.582591] 0000000000000020: 0000 unknown [ 0.582596] Call Trace: [ 0.582599] ([<0000000002014a46>] kernel_init+0x622/0x7a0) [ 0.582607] [<0000000000113e22>] kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc [ 0.582615] [<0000000000113e1c>] kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc [ 0.582621] INFO: lockdep is turned off.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Architechtures normally don't need to set a HARDIRQ_BITS unless they have hardcoded a specific value in assembly. This drops the definition from asm-generic/hardirq.h, which results in linux/hardirq.h setting its default of 10. Both the old default of 8 and the linux/hardirq.h default of 10 are sufficient because they only limit the number of nested hardirqs, and we normally run out of stack space much earlier than exceeding 256 or even 1024 nested interrupts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem. This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed spinlocks to provide atomicity. For each atomic operation, the address of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16 spinlocks. That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock. On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable interrupts around each operation. In fact gcc eliminates the whole atomic64_lock variable as well.

A sample linker script is included to give the preferred order of the sections for the architectures that do not have any special requirments. These definitions are also a first step towards eventual support for -ffunction-sections. The definitions makes it much easier to do a global renaming of section names - but the main purpose is to clean up the linker scripts. Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve the definitions - all faults are mine. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Tim Abbott <tabbott@mit.edu>

So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events (what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

This makes get_rtc_ss call the real set_rtc_time to let architectures define their own version. The change should fix the "Extended RTC operation" on Alpha, which uses the incorrect get_rtc_ss call. It also allows PowerPC to use the asm-generic/rtc.h file in the future.
