* [PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernelJohannes Berg2005-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy resolution. This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching X.org.

* [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Run idle threads with preempt disabled. Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()). How did it ever work before? Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted. We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined. After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead. By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

* ppc: Minor smp changes for consistency with ppc64Paul Mackerras2005-10-19
| | | | | | | | | This makes platform code use the smp_ops variable directly instead of ppc_md.smp_ops, removes the two unused `data' and `wait' arguments from the *_message_pass() functions, and removes the call to the never-implemented smp_ops->space_timers() function.

* [PATCH] ppc32: support hotplug cpu on powermacsPaul Mackerras2005-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is connected to a GPIO pin. With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

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!
