alpha: Generate dwarf2 unwind info for various kernel entry points.

2013-07-19T20:54:25Z

Having unwind info past the PALcode generated stack frame makes debugging the kernel significantly easier. Acked-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson

alpha: kernel: typo issue, using '1' instead of '11'

2013-07-19T20:54:19Z

For sending message: *(unsigned int *)&cpu->ipc_buffer[0] = len; cp1 = (char *) &cpu->ipc_buffer[1]; But for receive message: cnt = cpu->ipc_buffer[0] >> 32; ... cp1 = (char *) &cpu->ipc_buffer[11]; They are not pairs, it is typo issue of the redundency '1'. So need use '1' instead of '11'. Reviewed-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Chen Gang

alpha: kernel: using memcpy() instead of strcpy()

2013-07-19T20:54:14Z

When sending message in send_secondary_console_msg(), the length is not include the NUL byte, and also not copy NUL to 'ipc_buffer'. When receive message in recv_secondary_console_msg(), the 'cnt' also excludes NUL. So when get string from ipc_buffer, it may not be NUL terminated. Then use memcpy() instead of strcpy(), and set last byte NUL. Reviewed-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Matt Turner Signed-off-by: Chen Gang

2013-07-19T20:53:03Z

alpha: delete __cpuinit usage from all users

2013-07-14T23:36:51Z

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the alpha uses of the __cpuinit macros.
