x86/percpu: Fix __per_cpu_hot_end marker

2025-03-04T19:30:33Z

Make __per_cpu_hot_end marker point to the end of the percpu cache hot data, not to the end of the percpu cache hot section. This fixes CONFIG_MPENTIUM4 case where X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is set to 7 (128 bytes). Also update assert message accordingly.

percpu: Introduce percpu hot section

2025-03-04T19:30:33Z

Add a subsection to the percpu data for frequently accessed variables that should remain cached on each processor. These varables should not be accessed from other processors to avoid cacheline bouncing. This will replace the pcpu_hot struct on x86, and open up similar functionality to other architectures and the kernel core.

vmlinux.lds: Ensure that const vars with relocations are mapped R/O

2025-02-25T17:46:15Z

In the kernel, there are architectures (x86, arm64) that perform boot-time relocation (for KASLR) without relying on PIE codegen. In this case, all const global objects are emitted into .rodata, including const objects with fields that will be fixed up by the boot-time relocation code. This implies that .rodata (and .text in some cases) need to be writable at boot, but they will usually be mapped read-only as soon as the boot completes. When using PIE codegen, the compiler will emit const global objects into .data.rel.ro rather than .rodata if the object contains fields that need such fixups at boot-time. This permits the linker to annotate such regions as requiring read-write access only at load time, but not at execution time (in user space), while keeping .rodata truly const (in user space, this is important for reducing the CoW footprint of dynamic executables). This distinction does not matter for the kernel, but it does imply that const data will end up in writable memory if the .data.rel.ro sections are not treated in a special way, as they will end up in the writable .data segment by default. So emit .data.rel.ro into the .rodata segment.
