Tejun Heo 0415b00d17 percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE
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.

Tejun Heo 19df0c2fef percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline
Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce
and performance degradation.

This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
size and use it to align percpu subsections.

This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.

Jesper Nilsson 85d9865721 CRIS: Fix alignment problem for older ld
CRISv10 uses a pretty old ld, which does not allow ALIGN(0),
(It becomes . = 0;) so instead we align to 1 byte.

Tejun Heo 023bf6f1b8 linker script: unify usage of discard definition
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.  Michal Simek tested microblaze.

Tejun Heo 405d967dc7 linker script: throw away .discard section
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.

[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

Jesper Nilsson c5ec6fb08d [CRIS] Remove links from CRIS build
Remove the links to architecture and machine dependent directories
(boot, lib, drivers, arch, mach)

The links were created and used mostly from the arch/cris/Makefile,
so why not dispense with them altogether?
Changed $(ARCH) to "cris" in Makefile, it is easier to read this way.

The CRISv32 head.S common files for the kernel and compressed images
needed to be modified to use ifdefs instead of using the now removed
mach link. Since there are only two versions, this is not a huge loss
in readability.

The link to vmlinux.lds.S is also replaced with a merged version
which uses ifdefs to select the correct layout.
System.map before and after are identical.
