When SMP_ON_UP is used and the spinlocks are inlined, we end up with
inline spinlocks in the exit code, with references from the SMP
alternatives section to the exit sections. This causes link time
errors. Avoid this by placing the exit sections in the init-discarded
region.

Commit 18991197b4b588255ccabf472ebc84db7b66a19c added --build-id
linker option when toolchain supports it. ARM one does, but for some
reason places the section at 0 when linker script doesn't mention it
explicitly.
The 1e621a8e3752367d4aae78a8ab00a18fb2793f34 worked around the problem
removing this section from binary image with explicit objcopy options,
but it still exists in vmlinux, confusing tools like debuggers and perf.
This problem was discussed here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-May/015994.html
but the proposed changes to the linker script were substantial.
This patch simply places NOTES (36 bytes long, at least when compiled
with CodeSourcery toolchain) between data and bss, which seem to be
the right place (and suggested by the sample linker script in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h).
It is enough to place it correctly in vmlinux (so debuggers are happy):
Section Headers:
[11] .data PROGBITS c07ce000 7ce000 020fc0 00 WA 0 0 32
[12] .notes NOTE c07eefc0 7eefc0 000024 00 AX 0 0 4

This idea came from Nicolas, Eric Miao produced an initial version,
which was then rewritten into this.
Patch the physical to virtual translations at runtime. As we modify
the code, this makes it incompatible with XIP kernels, but allows us
to achieve this with minimal loss of performance.
As many translations are of the form:
physical = virtual + (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
virtual = physical - (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET)
we generate an 'add' instruction for __virt_to_phys(), and a 'sub'
instruction for __phys_to_virt(). We calculate at run time (PHYS_OFFSET
- PAGE_OFFSET) by comparing the address prior to MMU initialization with
where it should be once the MMU has been initialized, and place this
constant into the above add/sub instructions.
Once we have (PHYS_OFFSET - PAGE_OFFSET), we can calculate the real
PHYS_OFFSET as PAGE_OFFSET is a build-time constant, and save this for
the C-mode PHYS_OFFSET variable definition to use.
At present, we are unable to support Realview with Sparsemem enabled
as this uses a complex mapping function, and MSM as this requires a
constant which will not fit in our math instruction.
Add a module version magic string for this feature to prevent
incompatible modules being loaded.

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.

As our SMP implementation uses MESI protocols. Grouping together data
which is mostly only read together means that we avoid unnecessary
cache line bouncing when this code shares a cache line with other data.
In other words, cache lines associated with read-mostly data are
expected to spend most of their time in shared state.

Commit 5085f3ff458521045f7e43da62b8c30ea7df2e82 added better support for
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU by keeping proc_info around. However, depending on
the Kconfig options selected, this can make the booting fail mysteriously
early on.
Turns out a data abort can happen in __lookup_processor in ldmia r5 {r3, r4}.
When it happens the address loaded to r5 is not aligned. Fix the problem by
aligning proc_info.

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have,
so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite
parts of the kernel.
Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data
is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions,
thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker
to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values,
and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

The ARM setup code includes its own parser for early params, there's
also one in the generic init code.
This patch removes __early_init (and related code) from
arch/arm/kernel/setup.c, and changes users to the generic early_init
macro instead.
The generic macro takes a char * argument, rather than char **, so we
need to update the parser functions a little.

Commit 023bf6f "linker script: unify usage of discard definition"
changed the linker scripts for all architectures except for ARM.
I can find no discussion about this ommision, so here are the changes
for ARM.
These changes are exactly parallel to the ia64 case.
"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."
Not boot-tested. In build testing, the modified linker script generated
an identical vmlinux file.
[I would like to be able to rely on this unified discard definition.
I want to sort the kernel symbol tables to allow faster symbol
resolution during module loading. The simplest way appears to be
to generate sorted versions from vmlinux.o, link them in to vmlinux,
_and discard the original unsorted tables_.
This work is driven by my x86 netbook, but it is implemented at a
generic level. It is possible it will benefit some ARM systems also.]

Update the link script for ARM to use PAGE_SIZE instead of hard-
coded 4096. Also the old RODATA macro is deprecated
for the RO_DATA(PAGE_SIZE) macro. As a consequence the PAGE_SIZE
was changed from (1UL << PAGE_SHIFT) to (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
because the linker does not understand the "UL" suffix to numeric
constants.

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.

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.

Since commit 2552fc27ff79b10b9678d92bcaef21df38bb7bb6 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

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.
