nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

avr32: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

2013-07-03T23:07:34Z

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h. Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.

avr32: clean up linker script using standard macros.

2009-10-06T15:39:22Z

As a side effect, this patch changes the .init.ramfs data to be PAGE_SIZE-aligned, instead of 32-byte aligned. Also, the init data is moved into its own output sections rather than the .init output section. There should be no other changes to the resulting vmlinux as a result of this patch.

linker script: unify usage of discard definition

2009-07-09T02:27:40Z

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.

linker script: throw away .discard section

2009-06-24T06:13:38Z

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.

avr32: Store virtual addresses in the PGD

2008-07-02T09:01:28Z

Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the PGD, store virtual addresses and use NULL to indicate a not present second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad PMD. This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL entry, which is slightly cheaper than either. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen

all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.h

2008-01-28T22:21:17Z

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
