vmlinux.lds: add comments for global variables and clean up useless declarations The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. Patch 1-7: 1) add comments for global variables exported by vmlinux.lds 2) normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds Patch 8: Introduce helper functions mem_init_print_info() and get_num_physpages() Patch 9: Avoid using global variable num_physpages at runtime Patch 10: Don't update num_physpages in memory_hotplug.c Patch 11-40: Modify arch mm initialization code to: 1) Simplify mem_init() by using mem_init_print_info() 2) Prepare for killing global variable num_physpages Patch 41: Kill the global variable num_physpages With all patches applied, mem_init(), free_initmem(), free_initrd_mem() could be as simple as below. This patch series has reduced about 1.2K lines of code in total. #ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM void __init mem_init(void) { max_mapnr = max_low_pfn; free_all_bootmem(); high_memory = (void *) __va(max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE); mem_init_print_info(NULL); } #endif /* CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM */ void free_initmem(void) { free_initmem_default(-1); } #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD void free_initrd_mem(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) { free_reserved_area(start, end, -1, "initrd"); } #endif Due to hardware resource limitations, I have only tested this on x86_64. And the messages reported on an x86_64 system are: Log message before applying patches: Memory: 7745676k/8910848k available (6934k kernel code, 836024k absent, 329148k reserved, 6343k data, 1012k init) Log message after applying patches: Memory: 7744624K/8074824K available (6969K kernel code, 1011K data, 2828K rodata, 1016K init, 9640K bss, 330200K reserved) Great thanks to Vineet Gupta for testing on ARC. This patch: Document global variables exported from vmlinux.lds. 1) Add comments about usage guidelines for global variables exported from vmlinux.lds.S. 2) Remove unused __initdata_begin[] and __initdata_end[].

x86: Separate out entry text section Put x86 entry code into a separate link section: .entry.text. Separating the entry text section seems to have performance benefits - caused by more efficient instruction cache usage. Running hackbench with perf stat --repeat showed that the change compresses the icache footprint. The icache load miss rate went down by about 15%: before patch: 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) after patch: 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) The motivation of the patch was to fix a particular kprobes bug that relates to the entry text section, the performance advantage was discovered accidentally. Whole perf output follows: - results for current tip tree: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 19417627 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.147% ) 2676914223 instructions # 0.497 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5389516026 cycles ( +- 0.144% ) 0.206267711 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.138% ) - results for current tip tree with the patch applied: Performance counter stats for './hackbench/hackbench 10' (500 runs): 16490788 L1-icache-load-misses ( +- 0.180% ) 2717734941 instructions # 0.502 IPC ( +- 0.079% ) 5414756975 cycles ( +- 0.148% ) 0.206747566 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.137% ) Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com Cc: ananth@in.ibm.com Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: 2nddept-manager@sdl.hitachi.co.jp LKML-Reference: <20110307181039.GB15197@jolsa.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
