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.

The __va()/__pa() offsets and the boot memory offsets are consistent for
all PMB users, so there is no need to special case these for legacy PMB.
Kill the special casing off and depend on CONFIG_PMB across the board.
This also fixes up yet another addressing bug for sh64.

Now that cached_to_uncached works as advertized in 32-bit mode and we're

This introduces some much overdue chainsawing of the fixed PMB support.
fixed PMB was introduced initially to work around the fact that dynamic
PMB mode was relatively broken, though they were never intended to
converge. The main areas where there are differences are whether the
system is booted in 29-bit mode or 32-bit mode, and whether legacy
mappings are to be preserved. Any system booting in true 32-bit mode will
not care about legacy mappings, so these are roughly decoupled.
Regardless of the entry point, PMB and 32BIT are directly related as far
as the kernel is concerned, so we also switch back to having one select
the other.
With legacy mappings iterated through and applied in the initialization
path it's now possible to finally merge the two implementations and
permit dynamic remapping overtop of remaining entries regardless of
whether boot mappings are crafted by hand or inherited from the boot
loader.

This is a first cut at a generic DWARF unwinder for the kernel. It's
still lacking DWARF64 support and the DWARF expression support hasn't
been tested very well but it is generating proper stacktraces on SH for

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.

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.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

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!
