2006-06-25	[PATCH] Clean up and refactor i386 sub-architecture setup	Jeremy Fitzhardinge	1	-0/+43
	Clean up and refactor i386 sub-architecture setup. This change moves all the code from the asm-i386/mach-/setup_arch_pre/post.h headers, into arch/i386/mach-/setup.c. mach-/setup_arch_pre.h is renamed to setup_arch.h, and contains only things which should be in header files. It is purely code-motion; there should be no functional changes at all. Several functions in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c needed to be made non-static so that they're visible to the code in mach-/setup.c. asm-i386/setup.h is used to hold the prototypes for these functions.

2006-02-24	[PATCH] Fix topology.c location	Zachary Amsden	2	-98/+1
	When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition, on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes both of these problems. Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

2005-09-26	[PATCH] useless includes of linux/irq.h in arch/i386	Al Viro	1	-1/+0
	Most of these guys are simply not needed (pulled by other stuff via asm-i386/hardirq.h). One that is not entirely useless is hilarious - arch/i386/oprofile/nmi_timer_int.c includes linux/irq.h... as a way to get linux/errno.h Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-07	[PATCH] x86_64: create sysfs entries for cpu only for present cpus	Ashok Raj	1	-2/+2
	Need to create sysfs only for cpus that are present. Without which we see NR_CPUS entries created when we have CONFIG_HOTPLUG and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled.

2005-06-25	[PATCH] x86_64: CPU hotplug support	Ashok Raj	1	-8/+7
	Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64 ----------------------------------------- This supports logical CPU online and offline. - Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well. - idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup TBD: 1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2) 2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support.

2005-06-25	[PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.	Ashok Raj	1	-0/+27
	This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast. When we enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill effects on a offline cpu. If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled, which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects. Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be switched at cmdline if necessary.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	3	-0/+209
	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!
