      x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMP · 1a51e3a0
      Tejun Heo authored 
      [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately.  %gs points
to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset.
This patch folds pda into percpu area.

Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of
the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40.  To achieve
this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is
added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu
area.

After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the
data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to
point to the actual pda.  This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need
to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0
already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas().

This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call
sites.

A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

      x86: use static _cpu_pda array · c8f3329a
      Tejun Heo authored 
      _cpu_pda array first uses statically allocated storage in data.init
and then switches to allocated bootmem to conserve space.  However,
after folding pda area into percpu area, _cpu_pda array will be
removed completely.  Drop the reallocation part to simplify the code
for soon-to-follow changes.

      x86: load pointer to pda into %gs while brining up a CPU · f32ff538
      Tejun Heo authored 
      [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs
for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is
available at the point.  Load the real address directly instead.

This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on.

This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into
per cpu area" patch.

      x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMP · 3e5d8f97
      Tejun Heo authored 
      [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding
PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on
the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S.  A new
PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address
zero.  PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which
always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region.

The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address
change.

* code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the
  load address to the gdt_page offset.

* __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area
  is necessary.

* pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero
  value doesn't work anymore.

This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu
variables at zero" patch.

      Make vmlinux_32.lds.S use the generic PERCPU() macro instead of open
coding it.  This will ease future changes.

      x86: cleanup early setup_percpu references · c90aa894
      Mike Travis authored 
      [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]

  * Ruggedize some calls in setup_percpu.c to prevent mishaps
    in early calls, particularly for non-critical functions.

  * Cleanup DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS usages and some comments.
