Tim Abbott 85233c43f7 m32r: Cleanup linker script using new linker script macros.
This patch is largely a straightforward conversion.  One thing to note
is that the new macros use fewer separate output sections than the old
code; this should have no functional impact but is relevant for people
objdumping vmlinux files.

Also note that it moves the .data.init_task output sections inside
_edata.

Tim Abbott 743486dff1 m32r: Move the spi_stack_top and spu_stack_top into .init.data section.
Since these get squashed into the .data output section by the m32r
linker script, it seems likely that they don't need their own input
sections.

At Hirokazu Takata's suggestion, we place these structures in
.init.data rather than just placing them in .data (since they are only
used at init time).

This patch is preparation for cleaning up the m32r architecture to use
the new macros in vmlinux.lds.h; if these sections are indeed not
needed, then we can use the RW_DATA_SECTION macro for m32r and save a
bunch of redundant code.

Tim Abbott 2a67d26284 m32r: Remove unused .altinstructions and .exit.* code from linker script.
It appears that m32r copied the .altinstructions definition from x86
when the architecture was first merged into Linux.  m32r doesn't put
anything in .altinstructions, so this is just dead code.

The following block affecting .exit.text/.exit.data, which has a
comment also copied from x86, should also be deleted; the linker
script later discards the .exit.text and .exit.data sections.

Tejun Heo 023bf6f1b8 linker script: unify usage of discard definition
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.

Tejun Heo 405d967dc7 linker script: throw away .discard section
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 ]

Tim Abbott 3496369662 m32r: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.
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.

Fenghua Yu 5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
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.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge b6e3590f81 [PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned
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.

Hirokazu Takata 3d60f84934 [PATCH] m32r: fix kernel entry address of vmlinux
This patch fixes the kernel entry point address of vmlinux.

The m32r kernel entry address is 0x08002000 (physical).
But, so far, the ENTRY point written in vmlinux.lds.S was not point
the correct kernel entry address.

at the first operation of kernel debugging:

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
