2008-04-19x86: use new set_cpus_allowed_ptr functionMike Travis
* Use new set_cpus_allowed_ptr() function added by previous patch, which instead of passing the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask_t arg by value, pass it by pointer: -int set_cpus_allowed(struct task_struct *p, cpumask_t new_mask) +int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask) * Cleanup uses of CPU_MASK_ALL. * Collapse other NR_CPUS changes to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c Use pointers to cpumask_t arguments whenever possible.

2008-04-17x86: microcode: show results on success tooBen Castricum
Report when microcode was successfully updated. It used to be there but now with DEBUG unset it becomes very silent. Also some cosmetic fixes. Signed-off-by: Ben Castricum <lk08@bencastricum.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-02-01x86: fix section mismatch warnings when referencing notifiersSam Ravnborg
Fix the following warnings: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0xf8): Section mismatch in reference from the function msr_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:msr_class_cpu_notifier WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x158): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpuid_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpuid_class_cpu_notifier WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x171): Section mismatch in reference from the function microcode_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:mc_cpu_notifier In all three cases there were a function annotated __exit that referenced a variable annotated __cpuinitdata. The fix was to replace the annotation of the notifier with __refdata to tell modpost that the reference to a _cpuinit function in the notifier are OK. The unregister call that references the notifier variable will simple delete the function pointer so there is no problem ignoring the reference. Note: This looks like another case where __cpuinit has been used as replacement for proper use of CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to decide what code are used for HOTPLUG_CPU.

2008-01-25cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus()Gautham R Shenoy
Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.

2007-10-19x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayMike Travis
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.
