The standard (see BSS_SECTION() in <asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h> and
<asm-generic/sections.h>) symbol for the end of BSS is __bss_stop.
This allows to remove all local declarations that have been added to
several architectures just to please CONFIG_MTD_UCLINUX.

Add PHYSICAL_START kernel configuration parameter to set the address at
which the kernel should be loaded.
It has been observed on an sh7757lcr that simply modifying MEMORY_START
does not achieve this goal for 32bit sh. This is due to MEMORY_OFFSET in
arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S bot being based on MEMORY_START on such
systems.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other
percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce
and performance degradation.
This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()
linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline
size and use it to align percpu subsections.
This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch.

The __va()/__pa() offsets and the boot memory offsets are consistent for
all PMB users, so there is no need to special case these for legacy PMB.
Kill the special casing off and depend on CONFIG_PMB across the board.

Now that cached_to_uncached works as advertized in 32-bit mode and we're
never going to be able to map < 16MB anyways, there's no need for the
special uncached section. Kill it off.

This introduces some much overdue chainsawing of the fixed PMB support.
fixed PMB was introduced initially to work around the fact that dynamic
PMB mode was relatively broken, though they were never intended to
converge. The main areas where there are differences are whether the
system is booted in 29-bit mode or 32-bit mode, and whether legacy
mappings are to be preserved. Any system booting in true 32-bit mode will
not care about legacy mappings, so these are roughly decoupled.
Regardless of the entry point, PMB and 32BIT are directly related as far
as the kernel is concerned, so we also switch back to having one select
the other.
With legacy mappings iterated through and applied in the initialization
path it's now possible to finally merge the two implementations and
permit dynamic remapping overtop of remaining entries regardless of
whether boot mappings are crafted by hand or inherited from the boot
loader.

This is a first cut at a generic DWARF unwinder for the kernel. It's
still lacking DWARF64 support and the DWARF expression support hasn't
been tested very well but it is generating proper stacktraces on SH for
WARN_ON() and NULL dereferences.

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.
