2007-07-21[SPARC32]: clean include/asm-sparc/irq.hAl Viro
Move stuff used only by arch/sparc/kernel/* into arch/sparc/kernel/irq.h and into individual files in there (e.g. macros internal to sun4m_irq.c, etc.) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-09sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing codeIngo Molnar
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

2007-05-08header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not usedRandy Dunlap
Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed. Suggested by Al Viro. Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc, sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

2007-02-01[PATCH] sanitize sections for sparc32 smpAl Viro
a) sun4d_boot_one_cpu() should be __cpuinit (called only from __cpuinit __cpu_up(), for one thing, leads to calls of __cpuinit functions for another). b) got externs in arch/sparc/kernel/smp.c to match reality.

Fix the smp related section mismatch warnings by marking the smp init functions as cpuinit. Signed-off-by: Bob Breuer <breuerr@mc.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Setup cpu_possible_map so the secondary cpus will get started. Signed-off-by: Bob Breuer <breuerr@mc.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-06-10[SPARC]: Migration cost tune up in sparc smp.Krzysztof Helt
This patch sets the max_cache_size value required to tune up scheduler in SMP systems. Otherwise, the calculated migration_cost is too high and task scheduling may lock up. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-04-11[PATCH] for_each_possible_cpu: sparcKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs. We've had mistakes in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been iterating across only online or present CPUs. This is inefficient and possibly buggy. We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the future. This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

2006-03-23[SPARC]: Try to start getting SMP back into shape.Bob Breuer
Todo items: - IRQ_INPROGRESS flag - use sparc64 irq buckets, or generic irq_desc? - sun4d - re-indent large chunks of sun4m_smp.c - some places assume sequential cpu numbering (i.e. 0,1 instead of 0,2) Last I checked (with 2.6.14), random programs segfault with dual HyperSPARC. And with SuperSPARC II's, it seems stable but will eventually die from a write lock error (wrong lock owner or something). I haven't tried the HyperSPARC + highmem combination recently, so that may still be a problem. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-03-23[PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversionsAndrew Morton
When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu(). This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
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!
