[PATCH] x86_64: bring back __read_mostly support to linux-2.6.17-rc2

2006-04-20T14:58:11+00:00

It seems latest kernel has a wrong/missing __read_mostly implementation
for x86_64

__read_mostly macro should be declared outside of #if CONFIG_X86_VSMP block

[PATCH] Move read_mostly definition to asm/cache.h

2006-03-23T15:38:10+00:00

Seems like needless clutter having a bunch of #if defined(CONFIG_$ARCH) in
include/linux/cache.h.  Move the per architecture section definition to
asm/cache.h, and keep the if-not-defined dummy case in linux/cache.h to
catch architectures which don't implement the section.

Verified that symbols still go in .data.read_mostly on parisc,
and the compile doesn't break.

[PATCH] x86_64: Inclusion of ScaleMP vSMP architecture patches - vsmp_align

2006-01-12T03:05:01+00:00

vSMP specific alignment patch to
1. Define INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT for vSMP
2. Use this for alignment of critical structures
3. Use INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT for ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN,
   and let the slab align task_struct allocations to the internode cacheline size
4. Introduce and use ARCH_MIN_MMSTRUCT_ALIGN for mm_struct slab allocations.

[PATCH] Kill L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX

2006-01-09T04:13:39+00:00

Kill L1_CACHE_SHIFT from all arches.  Since L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX is not used
anymore with the introduction of INTERNODE_CACHE, kill L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX.

[PATCH] x86_64: Set ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp alignment to 128 bytes

2005-11-15T03:55:17+00:00

The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support -
but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny!

Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for
example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock.  I.e.  we have
a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them.

No correctness issues, obviously.  So this could even be merged for 2.6.14
(I'm not a fan of this idea, though).

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
