2008-02-20[IA64] VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING (accurate cpu time accounting)Hidetoshi Seto
This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64, which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting. The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390 and powerpc arch have. By turning this config on, these archs change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling based one to state-transition based one. The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time (cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point, such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc. The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

2005-05-06[IA64] Fix stack placement when INIT hits in kernel mode.David Mosberger-Tang
Without this patch, the stack is placed _below_ the current task structure, which is risky at best. Tony, I think this patch needs to go into 2.6.12, since it fixes a real bug. Without it, INIT may case secondary errors, which would be most unpleasant. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
