Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after _data; it was probably a bug that they were before it. Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were removed; this should be harmless as the implicit alignment of initcall_t was already 8.

alpha is the only architecture that uses the section name .data.init_thread instead of .data.init_task. So convert alpha to use .data.init_task like everything else. .data.init_task does not need a separate output section; this change also moves it into the .data output section.

This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving .data.init_task inside the _edata. It also changes the alignment of .data.init_task from 16384 to THREAD_SIZE, which can in some configurations be larger than 16384. I believe that this change fixes a potential bug on those configurations.

Tim Abbott authored
The old RW_DATA_SECTION had INIT_TASK_DATA (which was more-than-PAGE_SIZE-aligned), followed by a bunch of small alignment stuff, followed by more PAGE_SIZE-aligned stuff, so you wasted memory in the middle of .data re-aligning back up to PAGE_SIZE. This patch sorts the sections by alignment requirements, which should pack them essentially optimally.

Multicast joins can succeed even if the IB port is down. This happens when the SM runs on the same port with the requesting port. However, IPoIB calls netif_carrier_on() when the join of the broadcast group succeeds, without caring about the state of the IB port. The result is an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without an active IB port to support it. If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface as a slave it might not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover functionality will be damaged. The fix checks the state of the IB port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on().

The general one handles NULL, the static obsolescent (CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA) one in module.c doesn't; Eric's commit 720eba31 assumed it did, and various frobbings since then kept that assumption. All other callers in module.c all protect it with an if; this effectively does the same as free_init is only goto if we fail percpu_modalloc().

Peter Oberparleiter authored
Some boot mechanisms require that kernel parameters are stored in a separate file which is loaded to memory without further processing (e.g. the "Load from FTP" method on s390). When such a file contains newline characters, the kernel parameter preceding the newline might not be correctly parsed (due to the newline being stuck to the end of the actual parameter value) which can lead to boot failures. This patch improves kernel command line usability in such a situation by allowing generic whitespace characters as separators between kernel parameters.
