2006-09-29[PATCH] __percpu_alloc_mask() has to be __always_inline in UP caseAl Viro
... or we'll end up with cpu_online_map being evaluated on UP. In modules. cpumask.h is very careful to avoid that, and for a very good reason. So should we... PS: yes, it really triggers (on alpha).

2006-09-26[PATCH] CPU hotplug compatible alloc_percpu()Martin Peschke
This patch splits alloc_percpu() up into two phases. Likewise for free_percpu(). This allows clients to limit initial allocations to online cpu's, and to populate or depopulate per-cpu data at run time as needed: struct my_struct *obj; /* initial allocation for online cpu's */ obj = percpu_alloc(sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL); ... /* populate per-cpu data for cpu coming online */ ptr = percpu_populate(obj, sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL, cpu); ... /* access per-cpu object */ ptr = percpu_ptr(obj, smp_processor_id()); ... /* depopulate per-cpu data for cpu going offline */ percpu_depopulate(obj, cpu); ... /* final removal */ percpu_free(obj); Signed-off-by: Martin Peschke <mp3@de.ibm.com> Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-26[PATCH] trigger a syntax error if percpu macros are incorrectly usedJan Blunck
get_cpu_var()/per_cpu()/__get_cpu_var() arguments must be simple identifiers. Otherwise the arch dependent implementations might break. This patch enforces the correct usage of the macros by producing a syntax error if the variable is not a simple identifier.

2006-01-08[PATCH] remove unused blkp field in percpu_dataEric Dumazet
I found that blkp field was not used in kernel tree. As most of the times NR_CPUS is a power of two and kmalloc() memory blocks too, this extra field basically doubles the memory space allocated in __alloc_percpu() to store the 'struct percpu_data' (for example, if NR_CPUS=8 on i386, kmalloc(4*8+4) returns a 64 bytes block instead of a 32 bytes block after this patch) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] slab: remove unused align parameter from alloc_percpuPekka Enberg
__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is completely ignored. snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to use it, but it will be ignored. Therefore, remove the 'align' argument and fixup the lone caller.

2005-11-13[PATCH] Shut up per_cpu_ptr() on UPPaul Mundt
Currently per_cpu_ptr() doesn't really do anything with 'cpu' in the UP case. This is problematic in the cases where this is the only place the variable is referenced: CC kernel/workqueue.o kernel/workqueue.c: In function `current_is_keventd': kernel/workqueue.c:460: warning: unused variable `cpu' Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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!
