ia64: remove paravirt code

2015-06-10T21:26:32+00:00

All the ia64 pvops code is now dead code since both xen and kvm support have been ripped out [0] [1]. Just that no one had troubled to rip this stuff out. The only useful remaining pieces were the old pvops docs but that was recently also generalized and moved out from ia64 [2]. This has been run time tested on an ia64 Madison system.

rtc: ia64: allow other architectures to use EFI RTC

2014-08-08T22:57:19+00:00

Currently, the rtc-efi driver is restricted to ia64 only. Newer architectures with EFI support may want to also use that driver. This patch moves the platform device setup from ia64 into drivers/rtc and allow any architecture with CONFIG_EFI=y to use the rtc-efi driver.

timekeeping: Fixup typo in update_vsyscall_old definition

2014-07-30T07:26:25+00:00

In commit 4a0e637738f0 ("clocksource: Get rid of cycle_last"), currently in the -tip tree, there was a small typo where cycles_t was used intstead of cycle_t. This broke ppc64 builds. Fix this by using the proper cycle_t type for this usage, in both the definition and the ia64 implementation. Now, having both cycle_t and cycles_t types seems like a very bad idea just asking for these sorts of issues. But that will be a cleanup for another day.

clocksource: Get rid of cycle_last

2014-07-23T22:01:52+00:00

cycle_last was added to the clocksource to support the TSC validation. We moved that to the core code, so we can get rid of the extra copy. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: John Stultz

ia64: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED

2014-03-04T20:47:51+00:00

This patch removes the IRQF_DISABLED flag from ia64 architecture code. It's a NOOP since 2.6.35 and it will be removed one day.

kvm: Prepare to add generic guest entry/exit callbacks

2013-01-27T19:35:40+00:00

Do some ground preparatory work before adding guest_enter() and guest_exit() context tracking callbacks. Those will be later used to read the guest cputime safely when we run in full dynticks mode.

cputime: Generic on-demand virtual cputime accounting

2013-01-27T18:23:27+00:00

If we want to stop the tick further idle, we need to be able to account the cputime without using the tick. Virtual based cputime accounting solves that problem by hooking into kernel/user boundaries. However implementing CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING require low level hooks and involves more overhead. But we already have a generic context tracking subsystem that is required for RCU needs by archs which plan to shut down the tick outside idle. This patch implements a generic virtual based cputime accounting that relies on these generic kernel/user hooks. There are some upsides of doing this: - This requires no arch code to implement CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING if context tracking is already built (already necessary for RCU in full tickless mode). - We can rely on the generic context tracking subsystem to dynamically (de)activate the hooks, so that we can switch anytime between virtual and tick based accounting. This way we don't have the overhead of the virtual accounting when the tick is running periodically. And one downside: - There is probably more overhead than a native virtual based cputime accounting. But this relies on hooks that are already set anyway.

IA64: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:13+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

vtime: Warn if irqs aren't disabled on system time accounting APIs

2012-11-20T14:42:51+00:00

System time accounting APIs such as vtime_account_system() and vtime_account_idle() need to be irqsafe. Current callers include irq entry, exit and kvm, all of which have been checked against that requirement. Now it's better to grow that with an automatic check in case we have further callers or we missed something.

vtime: Consolidate a bit the ctx switch code

2012-11-19T15:41:32+00:00

On ia64 and powerpc, vtime context switch only consists in flushing system and user pending time, plus a few arch housekeeping. Consolidate that into a generic implementation. s390 is a special case because pending user and system time accounting there is hard to dissociate. So it's keeping its own implementation.
