Ralf Baechle 2efac77e82 [MIPS] Discard .exit.text and .exit.data at runtime.
While the recent cset 86384d5441 did improve
things it didn't resolve all the problems.  So bite the bullet and discard
.exit.text and .exit.data at runtime.  Which of course sucks because it
bloats binaries with code that will never ever be used but it's the only
thing that will work reliable as demonstrated by the function sd_major() in
drivers/scsi/sd.c.

Gcc may compile sd_major() using a jump table which it will put into
.rodata.  If it also inlines sd_major's function body into exit_sd() which
gcc > 3.4.x does.  If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD has been set to y we would like ld
to discard exit_sd's code at link time.  However sd_major happens to
contain a switch statement which gcc will compile using a jump table in
.rodata on the architectures I checked.  So, when ld later discards
.exit.text only the jump table in .rodata with its stale references to
the discard .exit.text will be left which any no antique ld will honor
with a link error.

Andrew Morton 61ce1efe6e [PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sections
Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table,
teach all the architectures to use it.

This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for
multithreaded-probing.

Atsushi Nemoto 04b6b3b651 [MIPS] Use generic DWARF_DEBUG
When debugging a kernel compiled by gcc 4.1 with gdb 6.4, gdb could
not show filename, linenumber, etc.  It seems fixed if I used generic
DWARF_DEBUG macro.  Although gcc 3.x seems work without this change,
it would be better to use the generic macro unless there were
something MIPS specific.

Ralf Baechle bb7d83f744 [MIPS] Discard .exit.text at runtime.
At times gcc will place bits of __exit functions into .rodata.  If
compiled into the kernle itself we used to discard .exit.text - but
not the bits left in .rodata.  While harmless this did at times result
in a large number of warnings.  So until gcc fixes this, discard
.exit.text at runtime.

Ralf Baechle dbee90b7f9 [MIPS] Fix linker script to work for non-4K page size.
Very much to my surprise Fuxin Zhang reports this is all it takes to get
the kernel to work for page sizes larger than 4kB.  This also paves the
way for support for the R6000 and R8000 which don't support 4kB page size.

Ralf Baechle c83cfc9c94 Get rid of early_init. There's more need to make this form of
initialization actually useful and as is certainly unmergable with
upstream.

Linus Torvalds 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!
