nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

MIPS: Reserve space for relocation table

2016-05-13T12:02:02Z

When CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, add a new section in the memory map to be filled with relocation data. CONFIG_RELOCATION_TABLE_SIZE allows the amount of space reserved to be adjusted if necessary. The relocs tool will populate this reserved space with relocation information. The space is reserved within the elf by filling it with 0's, and an invalid entry is left at the start of the space such that kernel relocation will be aborted if the table is empty.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42Z

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

MIPS: vmlinux: create a section for appended DTB

2015-11-12T10:35:48Z

For bootloaders that support booting only ELF kernels and load only ELF segments to memory there is no easy way to supply DTB without kernel recompilation. For that purpose, create a section called .appended_dtb that can be later updated with board-specific DTB using binutils e.g. at kernel installation time.

MIPS: Add support for vmlinux.bin appended dtb

2015-06-21T19:54:14Z

Add support for detecting a vmlinux.bin appended dtb and overriding the boot arguments to match the UHI interface. Due to the PERCPU section being empty for !SMP, but still modifying the current address by aligning it to the page size, do not define it for !SMP builds to allow __appended_dtb to still point to the actual end of the data.
