[PPC] Fix COMMON symbol warnings

2007-05-23T05:17:44+00:00

We get the following warnings in various ARCH=ppc builds:

WARNING: "ee_restarts" [arch/ppc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "fee_restarts" [arch/ppc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "htab_hash_searches" [arch/ppc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "next_slot" [arch/ppc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "mmu_hash_lock" [arch/ppc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "primary_pteg_full" [arch/ppc/mm/built-in] is COMMON symbol
WARNING: "global_dbcr0" [arch/ppc/kernel/built-in] is COMMON symbol

Switch to local symbols for ee_restarts, fee_restarts, and global_dbcr0 and
global symbols for mmu_hash_lock, next_slot, primary_pteg_full, and
htab_hash_searches.

(except mmu_hash_lock which is global) and
space directive instead.

rename thread_info to stack

2007-05-09T19:30:56+00:00

This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.

Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.

It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
could benefit.

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07+00:00

Remove includes of  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).

[PATCH] x86: Allow percpu variables to be page-aligned

2007-05-02T17:27:12+00:00

Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and
Ingo suggested KVM as well).

Because larger alignments can use more room, we increase the max per-cpu
memory to 64k rather than 32k: it's getting a little tight.
