| * x86: add MAP_STACK mmap flagIngo Molnar2008-08-151-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as per this discussion: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/423 Pardo reported that 64-bit threaded apps, if their stacks exceed the combined size of ~4GB, slow down drastically in pthread_create() - because glibc uses MAP_32BIT to allocate the stacks. The use of MAP_32BIT is a legacy hack - to speed up context switching on certain early model 64-bit P4 CPUs. So introduce a new flag to be used by glibc instead, to not constrain 64-bit apps like this. glibc can switch to this new flag straight away - it will be ignored by the kernel. If those old CPUs ever matter to anyone, support for it can be implemented.

* | x86: consolidate header guardsVegard Nossum2008-07-221-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | Same file, except for the extra 64bit MAP_32BIT define, which does not hurt for 32 bit compiles. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
