* ARM: 7320/1: Fix proc_info table alignmentMarc Zyngier2012-02-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With an admittedly exotic choice of configuration options (CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE, THUMB2, some other size-minimizing ones) and compiler, the proc_info table can end up being misaligned, and the kernel being unbootable (Error: unrecognized/unsupported processor variant). Forcing the alignement to 4 bytes in the linker script fixes the issue. Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
* ARM: 7290/1: vmlinux.lds.S: align the exception fixup table to a 4-byte boundaryWill Deacon2012-01-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exception fixup table is currently aligned to a 32-byte boundary. Whilst this won't cause any problems, the exception_table_entry structures contain only a pair of unsigned longs, so 4-byte alignment is all that is required. If the table was walked from start to end, cacheline alignment may bring some performance benefits, but since a binary search is used, the access pattern is random and will not benefit from a stricter alignment.

| | | | | | | | | | | The linker script assumes a cacheline size of 32 bytes when aligning the .data..cacheline_aligned and .data..percpu sections. This patch updates the script to use L1_CACHE_BYTES, which should be set to 64 on platforms that require it.

* ARM: idmap: populate identity map pgd at init time using .init.textWill Deacon2011-12-061-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When disabling and re-enabling the MMU, it is necessary to take out an identity mapping for the code that manipulates the SCTLR in order to avoid it disappearing from under our feet. This is useful when soft rebooting and returning from CPU suspend. This patch allocates a set of page tables during boot and populates them with an identity mapping for the .idmap.text section. This means that users of the identity map do not need to manage their own pgd and can instead annotate their functions with __idmap or, in the case of assembly code, place them in the correct section.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ARM uses its own BUG() handler which makes its output slightly different from other archtectures. One of the problems is that the ARM implementation doesn't report the function with the BUG() in it, but always reports the PC being in __bug(). The generic implementation doesn't have this problem. Currently we get something like: kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35! Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ... PC is at __bug+0x20/0x2c With this patch it displays: kernel BUG at fs/proc/breakme.c:35! Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ... PC is at write_breakme+0xd0/0x1b4 This implementation uses an undefined instruction to implement BUG, and sets up a bug table containing the relevant information. Many versions of gcc do not support %c properly for ARM (inserting a # when they shouldn't) so we work around this using distasteful macro magic. v1: Initial version to replace existing ARM BUG() implementation with something more similar to other architectures. v2: Add Thumb support, remove backtrace whitespace output changes. Change to use macros instead of requiring the asm %d flag to work (thanks to Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org>) v3: Remove old BUG() implementation in favor of this one. Remove the Backtrace: message (will submit this separately). Use ARM_EXIT_KEEP() so that some architectures can dump exit text at link time thanks to Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> (although since we always define GENERIC_BUG this might be academic.) Rebase to linux-2.6.git master. v4: Allow BUGS in modules (these were not reported correctly in v3) (thanks to Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> for suggesting that.) Remove __bug() as this is no longer needed. v5: Add %progbits as the section flags.

* | ARM: fix vmlinux.lds.S discarding sectionsRussell King2011-09-201-3/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are seeing linker errors caused by sections being discarded, despite the linker script trying to keep them. The result is (eg): `.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o `.exit.text' referenced in section `.alt.smp.init' of net/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of net/built-in.o This is the relevent part of the linker script (reformatted to make it clearer): | SECTIONS | { | /* | * unwind exit sections must be discarded before the rest of the | * unwind sections get included. | */ | /DISCARD/ : { | *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text) | *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) | } | ... | .exit.text : { | *(.exit.text) | *(.memexit.text) | } | ... | /DISCARD/ : { | *(.exit.text) | *(.memexit.text) | *(.exit.data) | *(.memexit.data) | *(.memexit.rodata) | *(.exitcall.exit) | *(.discard) | *(.discard.*) | } | } Now, this is what the linker manual says about discarded output sections: | The special output section name `/DISCARD/' may be used to discard | input sections. Any input sections which are assigned to an output | section named `/DISCARD/' are not included in the output file. No questions, no exceptions. It doesn't say "unless they are listed before the /DISCARD/ section." Now, this is what asn-generic/vmlinux.lds.S says: | /* | * Default discarded sections. | * | * Some archs want to discard exit text/data at runtime rather than | * link time due to cross-section references such as alt instructions, | * bug table, eh_frame, etc. DISCARDS must be the last of output | * section definitions so that such archs put those in earlier section | * definitions. | */ And guess what - the list _always_ includes .exit.text etc. Now, what's actually happening is that the linker is reading the script, and it finds the first /DISCARD/ output section at the beginning of the script. It continues reading the script, and finds the 'DISCARD' macro at the end, which having been postprocessed results in another /DISCARD/ output section. As the linker already contains the earlier /DISCARD/ output section, it adds it to that existing section, so it effectively is placed at the start. This can be seen by using the -M option to ld: | Linker script and memory map | | 0xc037c080 jiffies = jiffies_64 | | /DISCARD/ | *(.ARM.exidx.exit.text) | *(.ARM.extab.exit.text) | *(.exit.text) | *(.memexit.text) | *(.exit.data) | *(.memexit.data) | *(.memexit.rodata) | *(.exitcall.exit) | *(.discard) | *(.discard.*) | | 0xc0008000 . = 0xc0008000 | | .head.text 0xc0008000 0x1d0 | 0xc0008000 _text = . | *(.head.text) | .head.text 0xc0008000 0x1d0 arch/arm/kernel/head.o | 0xc0008000 stext | | .text 0xc0008200 0x2d78d0 | 0xc0008200 _stext = . | 0xc0008200 __exception_text_start = . | *(.exception.text) | .exception.text | ... As you can see, all the discarded sections are grouped together - and as a result of it being the first output section, they all appear before any other section. The result is that not only is the unwind information discarded (as intended), but also the .exit.text, despite us wanting to have the .exit.text preserved. We can't move the unwind information elsewhere, because it'll then be included even when we do actually discard the .exit.text (and similar) sections. So, work around this by avoiding the generic DISCARDS macro, and instead conditionalize the sections to be discarded ourselves. This avoids the ambiguity in how the linker assigns input sections to output sections, making our script less dependent on undocumented linker behaviour.

* percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZETejun Heo2011-03-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us to achieve this with minimal loss of performance. As many translations are of the form: physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub' instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this constant into the above add/sub instructions. Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use. At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a constant which will not fit in our math instruction. Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent incompatible modules being loaded.

"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." Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated an identical vmlinux file. [I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition. I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux, _and discard the original unsorted tables_. This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.] Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Acked-by-without-testing: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* ARM: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros.Tim Abbott2009-11-231-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This has the consequence of changing the section name used for head code from ".text.head" to ".head.text". Since this commit changes all users in the architecture, this change should be harmless. The .text.head output section is eliminated and the head text code is included at the start of the .init output section.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard- coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric constants.

* | linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archsTejun Heo2009-03-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: __per_cpu_load available on all SMP capable archs Percpu now requires three symbols to be defined - __per_cpu_load, __per_cpu_start and __per_cpu_end. There were three archs which didn't have it. Update them as follows. * powerpc: can use generic PERCPU() macro. Compile tested for powerpc32, compile/boot tested for powerpc64. * ia64: can use generic PERCPU_VADDR() macro. __phys_per_cpu_start is identical to __per_cpu_load. Compile tested and symbol table looks identical after the change except for the additional __per_cpu_load. * arm: added explicit __per_cpu_load definition. Currently uses unified .init output section so can't use the generic macro. Dunno whether the unified .init ouput section is required by arch peculiarity so I left it alone. Please break it up and use PERCPU() if possible.

* define new percpu interface for shared dataFenghua Yu2007-07-191-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
