The new init ramfs format (cpio based) requires an alignment of 4 (per the
documentation and per the source files themselves). As for compressed
sources, the decompressors can all deal with unaligned buffers.
The cpio source is also found in the __init sections of the kernel, so
once they are read and expanded into a tmpfs, the source is freed. That
means there is no need to force page alignment here either.
This has been used on Blackfin systems for many releases without issue.

With the recent change "net: remove time limit in process_backlog()", the
softnet_data variable changed from "DEFINE_PER_CPU()" to
"DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED()" which moved it from the .data section to the
.data.shared_align section. I'm not saying this patch is wrong, just that
is what caused me to notice this larger problem. No one else in the
kernel is using this aligned macro variant, so I imagine that's why no one
has noticed yet.
Since .data..shared_align isn't declared in any vmlinux files that I can
see, the linker just places it last. This "just works" for most people,
but when building a ROM kernel on Blackfin systems, it causes section
overlap errors:
bfin-uclinux-ld.real:
section .init.data [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e48b7] overlaps
section .data.shared_aligned [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e0723]
I imagine other arches which support the ROM config option and thus do
funky placement would see similar issues ...
On x86, it is stuck in a dedicated section at the end:
[8] .data PROGBITS ffffffff810ec000 2ec0000303a8 00 WA 0 0 4096
[9] .data.shared_alig PROGBITS ffffffff8111c3c0 31c3c00000c8 00 WA 0 0 64
So make sure we include this section in the DATA_DATA macro so that it is
placed in the right location.

The size of a built-in initramfs is calculated in init/initramfs.c by
"__initramfs_end - __initramfs_start". Those symbols are defined in the
linker script include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h:
#define INIT_RAM_FS \
. = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_start) = .; \
*(.init.ramfs) \
VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__initramfs_end) = .;
If the initramfs file has an odd number of bytes, the "__initramfs_end"
symbol points to an odd address, for example, the symbols in the
System.map might look like:
0000000000572000 T __initramfs_start
00000000005bcd05 T __initramfs_end <-- odd address
At least on s390 this causes a problem:
Certain s390 instructions, especially instructions for loading addresses
(larl) or branch addresses must be on even addresses. The compiler loads
the symbol addresses with the "larl" instruction. This instruction sets
the last bit to 0 and, therefore, for odd size files, the calculated size
is one byte less than it should be:
0000000000540a9c <populate_rootfs>:
540a9c: eb cf f0 78 00 24 stmg %r12,%r15,120(%r15),
540aa2: c0 10 00 01 8a af larl %r1,572000 <__initramfs_start>
540aa8: c0 c0 00 03 e1 2e larl %r12,5bcd04 <initramfs_end>
(Instead of 5bcd05)
...
540abe: 1b c1 sr %r12,%r1
To fix the problem, this patch introduces the global variable
__initramfs_size, which is calculated in the "usr/initramfs_data.S" file.
The populate_rootfs() function can then use the start marker of the
.init.ramfs section and the value of __initramfs_size for loading the
initramfs. Because the start marker and size is sufficient, the
__initramfs_end symbol is no longer needed and is removed.

base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline
assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto'
statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently
be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which
might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed.
Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for.

The .data..init_task output section was missing
a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot.
Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of
INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION().
There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION()
in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc.
cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not
impacted by this change.
Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like
all other output sections.

We define a number of symbols in the linker scipt like this:
__start_syscalls_metadata = .;
*(__syscalls_metadata)
But we do not know the alignment of "." when we assign
the __start_syscalls_metadata symbol.
gcc started to uses bigger alignment for structs (32 bytes),
so we saw situations where the linker due to alignment
constraints increased the value of "." after the symbol assignment.
This resulted in boot fails.
Fix this by forcing a 32 byte alignment of "." before the
assignment.
This patch introduces the forced alignment for
ftrace_events and syscalls_metadata.
It may be required in more places.

The next commit will require the use of MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX in
.tmp_exports-asm.S. Currently it is mixed in with C structure
definitions in "asm/module.h". Move the definition of this arch option
into Kconfig, so it can be easily accessed by any code.
This also lets modpost.c use the same definition. Previously modpost
relied on a hardcoded list of architectures in mk_elfconfig.c.
A build test for blackfin, one of the two MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX archs,
showed the generated code was unchanged. vmlinux was identical save
for build ids, and an apparently randomized suffix on a single "__key"
symbol in the kallsyms data).

__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever
as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead,
__start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end)
so that the space is reclaimed after init.
__start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion
of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared
'__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init.
__start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside
the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is*
read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to
MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA.
This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y
which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

The BSS section macros in vmlinux.lds.h currently place the .sbss
input section outside the bounds of [__bss_start, __bss_end]. On all
architectures except for microblaze that handle both .sbss and
__bss_start/__bss_end, this is wrong: the .sbss input section is
within the range [__bss_start, __bss_end]. Relatedly, the example
code at the top of the file actually has __bss_start/__bss_end defined
twice; I believe the right fix here is to define them in the
BSS_SECTION macro but not in the BSS macro.
Another problem with the current macros is that several
architectures have an ALIGN(4) or some other small number just before
__bss_stop in their linker scripts. The BSS_SECTION macro currently
hardcodes this to 4; while it should really be an argument. It also
ignores its sbss_align argument; fix that.
mn10300 is the only user at present of any of the macros touched by
this patch. It looks like mn10300 actually was incorrectly converted
to use the new BSS() macro (the alignment of 4 prior to conversion was
a __bss_stop alignment, but the argument to the BSS macro is a start
alignment). So fix this as well.
I'd like acks from Sam and David on this one. Also CCing Paul, since
he has a patch from me which will need to be updated to use
BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 4) once this gets merged.

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.

The ctors section for each object file is eight byte aligned (on 64 bit).
However the __ctors_start symbol starts at an arbitrary address dependent
on the size of the previous sections.
Therefore the linker may add some zeroes after __ctors_start to make sure
the ctors contents are properly aligned. However the extra zeroes at the
beginning aren't expected by the code. When walking the functions
pointers contained in there and extra zeroes are added this may result in
random jumps. So make sure that the __ctors_start symbol is always
aligned as well.

We recently added a INIT_TASK(align) in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h,
but there is already a macro INIT_TASK in include/linux/init_task.h, which
is quite confusing. We should switch the macro in the linker script to
INIT_TASK_DATA. (Sorry that I missed this in reviewing the patch). Since
the macros are new, there is only one user of the INIT_TASK in
vmlinux.lds.h, arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S.
However, we are currently using INIT_TASK_DATA for laying down an entire
.data.init_task section. So rename that to INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION.
I would be worried about changing the meaning of INIT_TASK_DATA, but the
old INIT_TASK_DATA implementation had no users, and in fact if anyone had
tried to use it, it would have failed to compile because it didn't pass
the alignment to the old INIT_TASK.

RW_DATA_SECTION is defined to take 4 different alignment parameters,
while NOSAVE_DATA currently uses a fixed PAGE_SIZE alignment as noted
in the comments.
There are presently no in-tree users of this at present, and I just
stumbled across this while implementing the simplified script on a new
architecture port, which subsequently resulted in a syntax error.

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 ]

- Use HEAD_TEXT_SECTION
- Drop use of section-names.h and delete file
- Introduce EXIT_CALL
Deleting section-names.h required a few simple
updates of init.h

To support alingment of the individual architecture specific linker scripts
provide a set of general definitions in vmlinux.lds.h
With these definitions applied the diverse linekr scripts can be reduced
in line count and their readability are improved - IMO.
A sample linker script is included to give the preferred
order of the sections for the architectures that do not
have any special requirments.
These definitions are also a first step towards eventual
support for -ffunction-sections.
The definitions makes it much easier to do a global
renaming of section names - but the main purpose is
to clean up the linker scripts.
Tim Aboot has provided a lot of inputs to improve
the definitions - all faults are mine.

- add .init.rodata to INIT_DATA, and group all initconst flavors
together
- move strings generated from __setup_param() into .init.rodata
- add .*init.rodata to modpost's sets of init sections
- make modpost warn about references between meminit and cpuinit
as well as memexit and cpuexit sections (as CPU and memory
hotplug are independently selectable features)

.text.init.refok
.data.init.refok
.exit.text.refok
have been deprecated since commit
312b1485fb. After the other patches in
this patch series nothing is put in these sections, so clean things up
by eliminating all the remaining references to them.

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

Add a new config option, CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING that gets selected
when CONFIG_TRACING is selected and adds everything needed by the stuff
in trace_export - basically all the event tracing support needed by e.g.
bprint, minus the actual events, which are only included if
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is selected.
So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events
(what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns
on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and
the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.
