2007-05-02	[PATCH] i386: Don't delete cpu_devs data to identify different x86 types in late_initcall	Thomas Renninger	1	-10/+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	-5/+0
	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/+33
	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!
