2006-12-12[MIPS] Discard .exit.text and .exit.data at runtime.Ralf Baechle
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.

2006-10-27[PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sectionsAndrew Morton
Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table, teach all the architectures to use it. This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for multithreaded-probing.

2006-06-01[MIPS] Use generic DWARF_DEBUGAtsushi Nemoto
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.

2006-03-09[MIPS] Discard .exit.text at runtime.Ralf Baechle
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. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2006-02-07[MIPS] Fix linker script to work for non-4K page size.Ralf Baechle
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. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

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!
