7436127ce9 [ARM] 5557/1: Discard some ARM.ex*.*exit.text sections when !HOTPLUG or !HOTPLUG_CPU
Not discarding these sections when hotplug isn't available prevents the

8c7e65742f arm: Provide _sdata and __bss_stop in the vmlinux.lds.S file
_sdata and __bss_stop are common symbols defined by many architectures
and made available to the kernel via asm-generic/sections.h. Kmemleak
uses these symbols when scanning the data sections.

19390c4d03 linker script: define __per_cpu_load on all SMP capable archs
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.

This patch adds the main functionality for parsing the stack unwinding
information generated by the ARM EABI toolchains. The unwinding
information consists of an index with a pair of words per function and a
table with unwinding instructions. For more information, see "Exception

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.

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.

e98ff7f6d8 [ARM] 4224/2: allow XIP kernel to boot again
Since commit 2552fc27ff XIP kernels failed
to boot because (_end - PAGE_OFFSET - 1) is much smaller than the size
of the kernel text and data in the XIP case, causing the kernel not to
be entirely mapped.

Even in the non-XIP case, the use of (_end - PAGE_OFFSET - 1) is wrong
because it produces a too large value if TEXT_OFFSET is larger than 1MB.

Finally the original code was performing one loop too many.

Let's break the loop when the section pointer has passed the last byte
of the kernel instead.

9641c7cc5a [ARM] nommu: uaccess tweaks
MMUless systems have only one address space for all threads, so
both the usual access_ok() checks, and the exception handling do
not make much sense.

Hence, discard the fixup and exception tables at link time, use
memcpy/memset for the user copy/clearing functions, and define
the permission check macros to be constants.

Some of this patch was derived from the equivalent patch by
Hyok S. Choi.

9d4f13e531 [ARM] Make kernel link address depend on PAGE_OFFSET
We are coding the kernel link address into the makefiles, which is
invisibly dependent on PAGE_OFFSET.  If PAGE_OFFSET is changed, the
makefiles also need to be changed.

Make adjustments such that the makefiles encode just the offset from
PAGE_OFFSET for the kernel link address, and use PAGE_OFFSET in the
linker scripts directly.

37d07b72ef [ARM] 3061/1: cleanup the XIP link address mess
Patch from Nicolas Pitre

Since vmlinux.lds.S is preprocessed, we can use the defines already
present in asm/memory.h (allowed by patch #3060) for the XIP kernel link
address instead of relying on a duplicated Makefile hardcoded value, and
also get rid of its dependency on awk to handle it at the same time.

While at it let's clean XIP stuff even further and make things clearer
in head.S with a nice code reduction.
