alpha: build fixes

2007-12-18T03:28:16+00:00

This fixes some of the alpha-specific build problems, except a) modpost
warning about COMMON symbol "saved_config" and b) nasty final link
failure with gcc-4.x, -Os and scsi-disk driver configured built-in
(due to jump table in .rodata referencing discarded .exit.text).

- build failure with gcc-4.2.x: fix up casts in cia_io* routines to avoid
  warnings ('discards qualifiers from pointer target type'), which are
  failures, thanks to -Werror;
- modpost warnings: add missing __init qualifier for titan and marvel;
  for non-generic build, move machine vectors from .data to .data.init.refok
  section;
- unbreak CPU-specific optimization: rearrange cpuflags-y assignments
  so that extended -mcpu value (ev56, pca56, ev67) overrides basic
  one (ev5, ev6) and not vice versa.

Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks (arch code)

2007-10-19T18:53:43+00:00

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log.
There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes
so for arch/xxx files.

It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the
printks in arch code.

alpha: beautify vmlinux.lds

2007-10-16T16:43:03+00:00

Introduced a consistent style in vmlinux.lds and it now matches the
soon-to-be common style for all arch's vmlinux.lds files.

In addition:
- Replaced hardcoded constant with PAGE_SIZE
- Fix page.h so PAGE_SIZE can be used from assembler and in lds files
- Move a few labels inside brackets so linker alignment will not
  make label point ot a too low address
- Replaced DWARF and STABS sections with definitions from asm-generic

alpha: convert to generic sys_ptrace

2007-10-16T16:43:03+00:00

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace.  We use
force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer
down to the function.  I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct,
but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before
commiting :)

Consolidate PTRACE_DETACH

2007-10-16T16:42:49+00:00

Identical handlers of PTRACE_DETACH go into ptrace_request().
Not touching compat code.
Not touching archs that don't call ptrace_request.
