* x86, vdso: Move more vdso definitions into vdso.hAndy Lutomirski2014-03-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | This fixes the Xen build and gets rid of a silly header file.

* x86: Load the 32-bit vdso in place, just like the 64-bit vdsosAndy Lutomirski2014-03-201-20/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces a decent amount of incomprehensible and buggy code with much more straightforward code. It also brings the 32-bit vdso more in line with the 64-bit vdsos, so maybe someday they can share even more code. This wastes a small amount of kernel .data and .text space, but it avoids a couple of allocations on startup, so it should be more or less a wash memory-wise.

* x86: Delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h>Paul Gortmaker2014-01-061-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.

* x86-64: Pad vDSO to a page boundaryAndy Lutomirski2011-08-041-0/+1

* x86-64, vdso: Do not allocate memory for the vDSOAndy Lutomirski2011-07-211-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | | We can map the vDSO straight from kernel data, saving a few page allocations. As an added bonus, the deleted code contained a memory leak.

* x86_64 vDSO: use initdataRoland McGrath2008-04-281-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason I can determine. Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes. This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images. The extra padding is gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two. The image that was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we recover that wasted space after boot.
