Subject: per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc3~41
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=44c81433e8b05dbc85985d939046f10f95901184;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

per_cpu: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED for modules

Current module loader lookups ".data.percpu" ELF section to perform
per_cpu relocation.  But DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() uses another
section (".data.percpu.shared_aligned"), currently only handled in
vmlinux.lds, not by module loader.

To correct this problem, instead of adding logic into module loader, or
using at build time a module.lds file for all arches to group
".data.percpu.shared_aligned" into ".data.percpu", just use ".data.percpu"
for modules.

Alignment requirements are correctly handled by ld and module loader.
