* powerpc: warning: allocated section `.data_nosave' not in segmentSean MacLennan2009-10-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | We need to align before the output section. Having the align inside the output section causes the linker to put some filler in there, which makes it a non-empty section, but this section isn't assigned to a segment so you get a warning from the linker.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently _edata does not include several data sections, this causes the kernel's report of memory usage at boot to not match reality, and also prevents kmemleak from working - because it scan between _sdata and _edata for pointers to allocated memory.

* | linker script: unify usage of discard definitionTejun Heo2009-07-091-7/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

However, those lines seem to trigger a bug in older versions of GNU ld (such as 2.16.1) when building a non-relocatable kernel. Since ld 2.16.1 is still a popular choice for cross-toolchains, this adds an #ifdef to vmlinux.lds.S so the added lines are only included when building a relocatable kernel.

* powerpc: Sync RPA note in zImage with kernel's RPA notePaul Mackerras2008-10-101-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9b09c6d909dfd8de96b99b9b9c808b94b0a71614 ("powerpc: Change the default link address for pSeries zImage kernels") changed the real-base value in the CHRP note added by the addnote program from 12MB to 32MB to give more space for Open Firmware to load the zImage. (The real-base value says where we want OF to position itself in memory.) However, this change was ineffective on most pSeries machines, because the RPA note added by addnote has the "ignore me" flag set to 1. This was intended to tell OF to ignore just the RPA note, but has the side effect of also making OF ignore the CHRP note (at least on most pSeries machines). To solve this we have to set the "ignore me" flag to 0 in the RPA note. (We can't just omit the RPA note because that is equivalent to having an RPA note with default values, and the default values are not what we want.) However, then we have to make sure the values in the zImage's RPA note match up with the values that the kernel supplies later in prom_init.c with either the ibm,client-architecture-support call or the process-elf-header call in prom_send_capabilities(). So this sets the "ignore me" flag in the RPA note in addnote to 0, and adjusts the RPA note values in addnote.c and in prom_init.c to be consistent with each other and with the values in ibm_architecture_vec. However, since the wrapper is independent of the kernel, this doesn't ensure that the notes will stay consistent. To ensure that, this adds code to addnote.c so that it can extract the kernel's RPA note from the kernel binary and put that in the zImage. To that end, we put the kernel's fake ELF header (which contains the kernel's RPA note) into its own section, and arrange for wrapper to pull out that section with objcopy and pass it to addnote, which then extracts the RPA note from it and transfers it to the zImage.

* powerpc: Make the 64-bit kernel as a position-independent executablePaul Mackerras2008-09-151-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at, since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables, so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.) The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr), where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns 0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running at), which necessitated a few adjustments. This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet). With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical address 0 and run there. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | binutils < 2.18 has a bug that makes it misbehave when taking an ELF file with all segments at load address 0 as input. This happens when running "strip" on vmlinux, because of the AT() magic in this linker script. People using GCC >= 4.2 won't run into this problem, because the "build-id" support will put some data into the "notes" segment (at a non-zero load address). To work around this, we force some data into both the "dummy" segment and the kernel segment, so the dummy segment will get a non-zero load address. It's not enough to always create the "notes" segment, since if nothing gets assigned to it, its load address will be zero.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'. We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it for the normal CPU_FTR purpose. Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it as small as possible rather than using a full fixup_entry.

This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following: BEGIN_FTR_SECTION or 1,1,1 FTR_SECTION_ELSE or 2,2,2 ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO) and the resulting code will be: or 1,1,1 or, or 2,2,2 We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty we nop out the default case. The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the remainder of the section is nop'ed. We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text, so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link, this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases. This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We get warnings like the following from the various ppc32 head*.S files: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x358): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:early_init (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x380): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:machine_init (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x384): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:MMU_init (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3aa): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3ae): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel (between 'skpinv' and 'interrupt_base') Added a .text.head section simliar to what other architectures do since modpost already excludes this from its warnings.

* | powerpc: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segmentRoland McGrath2007-07-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the powerpc linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so that ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along with other read-only data. The PT_NOTE also points to their location. This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

* | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sam's recent change in 7664709b44a13e2e0b545e2dd8e7b8797a1748dc broke things for us because we ended up with *(.text.*) before *(.text), whereas previously *(.text) was first. This was important because the start of the text section contains the kernel entry point. In fact, we don't need that *(.text.*) thing anymore and it incorrectly matched .text.init.refok, thus putting it before .text. .. ouch !

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.

* [POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpcJeremy Fitzhardinge2006-12-111-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general. There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several functions. Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which is never used.

We can't actually use the symbol names because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported from their object files.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.
