Since we are now discarding .exit.text at runtime instead of link time, we
need to place all .text sections ahead of the .data sections. Otherwise,
a really large attached initramfs may cause link errors as it pushes the
PC relative relocations behind the limits of the Blackfin ISA (~16meg).
The instructions in the .exit.text are unable to call back into the .text
sections leading to a link failure.

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).

Bill Gatliff & David Brownell pointed out we were missing some
copyrights, and licensing terms in some of the files in
./arch/blackfin, so this fixes things, and cleans them up.
It also removes:
- verbose GPL text(refer to the top level ./COPYING file)
- file names (you are looking at the file)
- bug url (it's in the ./MAINTAINERS file)
- "or later" on GPL-2, when we did not have that right
It also allows some Blackfin-specific assembly files to be under a BSD
like license (for people to use them outside of Linux).

Not sure whether this has been reported/fixed before.
Today I built a Blackfin tool-chain from scratch for -tip testing,
and it triggers:
arch/blackfin/kernel/vmlinux.lds:1238: undefined section `.data_a_l1' referenced in expression
and:
arch/blackfin/kernel/vmlinux.lds:1238: undefined section `.text_data_l1'
referenced in expression
Now i dont have any way to test this linker script, but it now at
least builds fine after fixing what appears to be typos in those
assert statements.

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.
[ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]

Fix a few problems I discovered when building a kernel with upstream CVS
binutils.
We have to add the NOTES macro to our linker script, since a kernel
built with --build-id is otherwise unable to boot. Last time NOTES was
added, it broke things, but the definition of the macro has changed not
to rely on parts of the linker script that aren't present on Blackfin.
I also noticed that _l2_lma_start does not point into the kernel image,
but rather somewhere in L1/L2 space, which seems unintended. Also, when
the L2 section was added to the linker script, the part following it which
computes then length of the init section was not updated.

Section data_l1_cacheline_aligned should be defined in
link script of kernel, when L1 data sram bank A is not available.
In bf536 with all data cache is enabled, there is no L1 data sram.
Current link script won't define section data_l1.cacheline_aligned in
this case. But, if user select put cacheline_aligned data into l1 sram
in kernel menuconfig, these data will be dropped and access to these
data will trigger data CPLB exception.
Do panic in l1 relocation code as well.

r3658 | vapier | 2007-09-12 16:26:11 +0200 (Wed, 12 Sep 2007) | 1 line
add more common defines for output sections
we've had a new line, NOTES, in our linker script, which causes upstream
binutils to complain about "missing phdr". Currently the only other arch
that uses NOTES is i386, and the patch which added it also added
PHDRS {
text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5); /* R_E */
data PT_LOAD FLAGS(7); /* RWE */
note PT_NOTE FLAGS(0); /* ___ */
}
and a few other modifications to use ":text" and ":data" to the linker
script.
It seems that we don't need NOTES at all, so just remove it.

Move the init sections to the end of memory so that after they
are free, run time memory is all continugous - this should help decrease
memory fragementation.
When doing this, we also pack some of the other sections a little closer
together, to make sure we don't waste memory. To make this happen,
we need to rename the .data.init_task section to .init_task.data, so
it doesn't get picked up by the linker script glob.

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards.
The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.
The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf
The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc
This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/
We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
