2007-07-21	x86: remove support for the Rise CPU	Adrian Bunk	1	-52/+0
	The Rise CPUs were only very short-lived, and there are no reports of anyone both owning one and running Linux on it. Googling for the printk string "CPU: Rise iDragon" didn't find any dmesg available online. If it turns out that against all expectations there are actually users reverting this patch would be easy. This patch will make the kernel images smaller by a few bytes for all i386 users.

2007-05-02	[PATCH] i386: Don't delete cpu_devs data to identify different x86 types in late_initcall	Thomas Renninger	1	-9/+0
	In arch/i386/cpu/common.c there is: cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_INTEL] cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_CYRIX] cpu_devs[X86_VENDOR_AMD] ... They are all filled with data early. The data (struct) got set to NULL for all, but Intel in different late_initcall (exit_cpu_vendor) calls. I don't see what sense this makes at all, maybe something that got forgotten with the HOTPLUG_CPU extenstions? Please check/review whether initdata, cpuinitdata is still ok and this still works with HOTPLUG_CPU and without, it should...

2006-09-26	[PATCH] i386: mark cpu init functions as __cpuinit, data as __cpuinitdata	Magnus Damm	1	-1/+1
	Mark i386-specific cpu init functions as __cpuinit. They are all only called from arch/i386/common.c:identify_cpu() that already is marked as __cpuinit. This patch also removes the empty function init_umc(). Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-09-26	[PATCH] i386: mark cpu_dev structures as __cpuinitdata	Magnus Damm	1	-1/+1
	The different cpu_dev structures are all used from __cpuinit callers what I can tell. So mark them as __cpuinitdata instead of __initdata. I am a little bit unsure about arch/i386/common.c:default_cpu, especially when it comes to the purpose of this_cpu.

2006-02-05	[PATCH] i386 cpu hotplug: don't access freed memory	Chuck Ebbert	1	-0/+8
	i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the vendor and it contains pointers to freed data. Fix that by: 1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup. 2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data]. 3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu to a safe default when the vendor is not found. This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already but no error was reported.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+53
	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!
