2007-02-11[PATCH] disable init/initramfs.c: architecturesJean-Paul Saman
Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected. This saves another 4 kbytes on most platfoms (some reserve PAGE_SIZE for initramfs).

2006-12-11[POWERPC] Generic BUG for powerpcJeremy Fitzhardinge
This makes powerpc use the generic BUG machinery. The biggest reports the function name, since it is redundant with kallsyms, and not needed in general. There is an overall reduction of code, since module_32/64 duplicated several functions. Unfortunately there's no way to tell gcc that BUG won't return, so the BUG macro includes a goto loop. This will generate a real jmp instruction, which is never used.

2006-12-07[PATCH] relocatable kernel: Kallsyms generate relocatable symbolsEric W. Biederman
Print the addresses of non-absolute symbols relative to _text so that ld will generate relocations. Allowing a relocatable kernel to relocate them. We can't actually use the symbol names because kallsyms includes static symbols that are not exported from their object files. Add the _text symbol definitions to the architectures which don't define it otherwise linker will fail. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

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.

2006-05-24[PATCH] powerpc: make iSeries flattened device tree dynamicStephen Rothwell
First we capture all the strings from dt.c statically by noting that gcc puts them in a special section of their own. Idea from Michael Ellerman. Then we move the flattened device tree to klimit. Still to come, making the values blob grow as needed. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2005-11-05powerpc: Fix vmlinux.lds.S for 32-bitPaul Mackerras
We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally. Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for 32-bit. With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem, but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of 0xc0000000. Oops. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-11-03powerpc: Set entry point and text address in linker scriptMichael Ellerman
Currently we set the kernel entry point and the address of the text section in the Makefile, using CONFIG_KERNEL_START. But we've already got <asm/page.h> in the linker script, so we can just use KERNELBASE directly. That means if we ever change KERNELBASE there's one less place to change it. And we can set the entry point with ENTRY(). There are zero differences from "readelf -a vmlinux" with or without this patch. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>

2005-09-26powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.Paul Mackerras
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc. For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc. The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.
