sparc64: fix alignment bug in linker definition script

2007-05-29T19:29:00+00:00

The RO_DATA section were hardcoded to a specific
alignment in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.h.
But for sparc64 this did not match the PAGE_SIZE.

Introduce a new section definition named:
RO_DATA that takes actual alignment as parameter.
RODATA are provided for backward compatibility.

On top of this avoid hardcoding alignment for
sparc64 in reset of the script
Fix is build-tested on sparc64 + x86_64.

Don't call a warnign a bug. It's a warning.

2007-05-24T17:13:43+00:00

Change the default printout message for WARN_ON() to say what it is, not
something else.  I'm tired of having people get all aflutter about a warning.

kbuild: introduce __init_refok/__initdata_refok to supress section mismatch warnings

2007-05-19T07:11:58+00:00

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

Consolidate asm/poll.h

2007-05-11T15:29:34+00:00

These files are almost all the same.

This patch could be made even simpler if we don't mind POLLREMOVE turning
up in a few architectures that didn't have it previously (which should be
OK as POLLREMOVE is not used anywhere in the current tree).

local_t: architecture independent extension

2007-05-08T18:15:20+00:00

This series extena and standardises local_t operations on each architecture,
allowing a rich set of atomic operations to be done on per-cpu data with
minimal performance impact.  On architectures where there seems to be no
difference between the SMP and UP operation (same memory barriers, same
LOCKing), local.h simply includes asm-generic/local.h, which removes
duplicated code from the current kernel tree.
