0778dc3a62 [S390] Fix alignment of initial kernel stack.
We need an alignment of 16384 bytes for the initial kernel stack if
the kernel is configured for 16384 bytes stacks but the linker script
currently guarantees only an alignment of 8192 bytes.

So fix this and simply use THREAD_SIZE as alignment value which will
always do the right thing.

5453c1a575 [S390] Fix linker script.
6360b1fbb4 ("move BUG_TABLE into RODATA")
causes this build bug (binutils 2.18.50.0.8.20080709, gcc 4.3.1):

  AS      .tmp_kallsyms1.o
  LD      .tmp_vmlinux2
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms2.S
s390x-4.3.1-nm: .tmp_vmlinux2: File truncated
No valid symbol.
make: *** [.tmp_kallsyms2.S] Error 1

So fix this.

01ba2bdc6b all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.h
This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.

This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy
us much good.

52480ee520 [S390] s390: use PAGE_SIZE in vmlinux.lds
Replace the hardcoded 4096 value with the PAGE_SIZE macro.
Converted a few decimal numbers to readable hex numbers.

Use of PAGE_SIZE required a small change to page.h
to allow PAGE_SIZE to be used from assembler/linker scripts.

e16af09d76 [S390] s390: beautify vmlinux.lds
Introduce a consistent style in vmlinux.lds.
This style is gradually being introduced for all archs.

A few lables were moved inside the section definition so
they are assigned the correct value of gcc decide to align
the content to another address than the one . has.
In the past this has fixed several bugs but for s390 it
will not impact due to all the alignmnet already introduced.

Stabs definitions are consolidated in asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
This patch also introduce support for DWARF - without knowing
if this makes sense for s390.

86ead9caf9 s390: Put allocated ELF notes in read-only data segment
This changes the s390 linker script to use the asm-generic NOTES macro so that
ELF note sections with SHF_ALLOC set are linked into the kernel image along
with other read-only data.  The PT_NOTE also points to their location.

This paves the way for putting useful build-time information into ELF notes
that can be found easily later in a kernel memory dump.

5fb7dc37dc define new percpu interface for shared data
per cpu data section contains two types of data.  One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus.  In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out.  This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.

One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end.  Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.

This patch:

Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

b6e3590f81 [PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned
Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and
Ingo suggested KVM as well).

Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu
memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.

c0007f1a65 [S390] Use generic bug.
Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the
console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will
not be clobbered by a printk() call that was previously done before
the illegal instruction of BUG() was hit.
Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that
could be increased but requires common code change.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
