2007-02-05[S390] ETR support.Martin Schwidefsky
This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details how to get the clock back in sync see the code below. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2006-12-13[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() callsRobert P. J. Day
Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

2006-10-11[S390] irq change improvements.Heiko Carstens
Remove the last few places where a pointer to pt_regs gets passed. Also make sure we call set_irq_regs() before irq_enter() and after irq_exit(). This doesn't fix anything but makes sure s390 looks the same like all other architectures.

2005-07-27[PATCH] s390: external call performanceHeiko Carstens
The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

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!
