This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq
handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the
__irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block
with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).
Thanks goes to Steven & Frederic Weisbecker for their feedbacks.

Commit 51b563fc93c8cb5bff1d67a0a71c374e4a4ea049 ("arm, cris, mips,
sparc, powerpc, um, xtensa: fix build with bash 4.0") removed a few
CPPFLAGS with vital include paths necessary to build vmlinux.lds
on MIPS, and moved the calculation of the 'jiffies' symbol
directly to vmlinux.lds.S but forgot to change make ifdef/... to
cpp macros.

Albin Tonnerre <albin.tonnerre@free-electrons.com> reported:
Bash 4 filters out variables which contain a dot in them.
This happends to be the case of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds.
This is rather unfortunate, as it now causes
build failures when using SHELL=/bin/bash to compile,
or when bash happens to be used by make (eg when it's /bin/sh)
Remove the common definition of CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds by
pushing relevant stuff to either Makefile.build or the
arch specific kernel/Makefile where we build the linker script.
This is also nice cleanup as we move the information out where
it is used.
Notes for the different architectures touched:
arm - we use an already exported symbol
cris - we use a config symbol aleady available
[Not build tested]
mips - the jiffies complexity has moved to vmlinux.lds.S where we need it.
Added a few variables to CPPFLAGS - they are only used by
the linker script.
[Not build tested]
powerpc - removed assignment that is not needed
[not build tested]
sparc - simplified it using $(BITS)
um - introduced a few new exported variables to deal with this
xtensa - added options to CPP invocation
[not build tested]

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.

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 ]

Leaving these sections is useful to some tools that look at the image, and
none of them are loaded into memory. The .mdebug.abi64 section, in
particular, lets GDB recognize vmlinux.32 as an N64 program instead of
guessing that it is O32.

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.

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.

While the recent cset 86384d544157db23879064cde36061cdcafc6794 did improve
things it didn't resolve all the problems. So bite the bullet and discard
.exit.text and .exit.data at runtime. Which of course sucks because it
bloats binaries with code that will never ever be used but it's the only
thing that will work reliable as demonstrated by the function sd_major() in
drivers/scsi/sd.c.
Gcc may compile sd_major() using a jump table which it will put into
.rodata. If it also inlines sd_major's function body into exit_sd() which
gcc > 3.4.x does. If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD has been set to y we would like ld
to discard exit_sd's code at link time. However sd_major happens to
contain a switch statement which gcc will compile using a jump table in
.rodata on the architectures I checked. So, when ld later discards
.exit.text only the jump table in .rodata with its stale references to
the discard .exit.text will be left which any no antique ld will honor
with a link error.

When debugging a kernel compiled by gcc 4.1 with gdb 6.4, gdb could
not show filename, linenumber, etc. It seems fixed if I used generic
DWARF_DEBUG macro. Although gcc 3.x seems work without this change,
it would be better to use the generic macro unless there were
something MIPS specific.

At times gcc will place bits of __exit functions into .rodata. If
compiled into the kernle itself we used to discard .exit.text - but
not the bits left in .rodata. While harmless this did at times result
in a large number of warnings. So until gcc fixes this, discard
.exit.text at runtime.

Very much to my surprise Fuxin Zhang reports this is all it takes to get
the kernel to work for page sizes larger than 4kB. This also paves the
way for support for the R6000 and R8000 which don't support 4kB page size.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
