percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

2011-03-24T17:50:09Z

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.

percpu: align percpu readmostly subsection to cacheline

2011-01-25T13:26:50Z

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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Shaohua Li

CRIS: Fix alignment problem for older ld

2010-08-04T16:30:01Z

CRISv10 uses a pretty old ld, which does not allow ALIGN(0), (It becomes . = 0;) so instead we align to 1 byte. Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson

CRIS: Discard exit.text and .data at runtime

2010-08-04T12:10:04Z

drop explicit include of autoconf.h

2009-12-12T12:08:15Z

kbuild.h forces include of autoconf.h on the commandline using -include - so we do not need to include the file explicit. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
