* increase AT_VECTOR_SIZE to terminate saved_auxv properlyOlaf Hering2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/asm-powerpc/elf.h has 6 entries in ARCH_DLINFO. fs/binfmt_elf.c has 14 unconditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries and 2 conditional NEW_AUX_ENT entries. So in the worst case, saved_auxv does not get an AT_NULL entry at the end. The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry. Make the size of mm_struct->saved_auxv arch dependend, based on the number of ARCH_DLINFO entries.

* [IA64] sparse cleanupsKeith Owens2006-08-02

* [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removalSteven Rostedt2006-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the code more and has no benefit. Since it is not currently used in the kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it. All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); } while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead. But this is still moot since it is not used anyway. Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled tested) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] kill include/linux/platform.h, default_idle() cleanupAdrian Bunk2006-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch. This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle() functions on different architectures: - remove the unused function: - parisc - sparc64 - make the needlessly global function static: - arm - h8300 - m68k - m68knommu - s390 - v850 - x86_64 - add a prototype in asm/system.h: - cris - i386 - ia64 Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Acked-by: Patrick Mochel <mochel@digitalimplant.org> Acked-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| * [IA64] hooks to wait for mmio writes to drain when migrating processesBrent Casavant2006-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On SN2, MMIO writes which are issued from separate processors are not guaranteed to arrive in any particular order at the IO hardware. When performing such writes from the kernel this is not a problem, as a kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU during execution, and mmiowb() calls can guarantee write ordering when control of the IO resource is allowed to move between threads. However, when MMIO writes can be performed from user space (e.g. DRM) there are no such guarantees and mechanisms, as the process may context-switch at any time, and may migrate to a different CPU as part of the switch. For such programs/hardware to operate correctly, it is required that the MMIO writes from the old CPU be accepted by the IO hardware before subsequent writes from the new CPU can be issued. The following patch implements this behavior on SN2 by waiting for a Shub register to indicate that these writes have been accepted. This is placed in the context switch-in path, and only performs the wait when the newly scheduled task changes CPUs.

* | [IA64] remove staled comments in asm/system.hChen, Kenneth W2006-02-02
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | With the recent optimization made to wrap_mmu_context function, we don't hold tasklist_lock anymore when wrapping context id. The comments in asm/system.h must fall through the crack earlier. Remove staled comments. I believe it is still beneficial to unlock the runqueue lock across context switch. So leave __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW on. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

* [PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switchChen, Kenneth W2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large (currently 528 bytes). For context switch intensive application, we found that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function. The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined. This allows maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

* [IA64] Rationalise Region DefinitionsPeter Chubb2005-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several names. For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h We also have address definitions that should depend on the RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. (This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like operation on IA64). Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

* [PATCH] sched: cleanup context switch lockingNick Piggin2005-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for interrupts to be enabled over the context switch. Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the task_running function.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
