* rename thread_info to stackRoman Zippel2007-05-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* x86: create asm/cmpxchg.hJeff Dike2007-05-081-129/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i386: Rearrange the cmpxchg code to allow atomic.h to get it without needing to include system.h. This kills warnings in the UML build from atomic.h about implicit declarations of cmpxchg symbols. The i386 build presumably isn't seeing this because a separate inclusion of system.h is covering it over. The cmpxchg stuff is moved to asm-i386/cmpxchg.h, with an include left in system.h for the benefit of generic code which expects cmpxchg there. Meanwhile, atomic.h includes cmpxchg.h. This causes no noticable damage to the i386 build. x86_64: Move cmpxchg into its own header. atomic.h already included system.h, so this is changed to include cmpxchg.h. This is purely cleanup - it's not fixing any warnings - so if the x86_64 system.h isn't considered as cleanup-worthy as i386, then this can be dropped. It causes no noticable damage to the x86_64 build. uml: The i386 and x86_64 cmpxchg patches require an asm-um/cmpxchg.h for the UML build.

* [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removalSteven Rostedt2006-07-141-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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] x86_64: x86_64 version of the smp alternative patch.Gerd Hoffmann2006-06-261-83/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes are largely identical to the i386 version: * alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file. * one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out for non-smp. * two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to replace SMP code with simpler UP code. * fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros. The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from compile-time to runtime.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch fixes a build problem with CONFIG_X86_VSMP. The vSMP bits probably gathered some fuzz on its way to mainline, and safe_halt() which was outside the #endif (CONFIG_X86_VSMP) somehow got inside the !CONFIG_X86_VSMP condition, hence being undefined and breaking CONFIG_X86_VSMP builds.

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!
