2013-02-01	MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.	Ralf Baechle	1	-3/+3
	Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling in forever. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2011-07-26	atomic: use <linux/atomic.h>	Arun Sharma	1	-1/+1
	This allows us to move duplicated code in <asm/atomic.h> (atomic_inc_not_zero() for now) to <linux/atomic.h> Signed-off-by: Arun Sharma <asharma@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2010-10-29	MIPS: define local_xchg from xchg_local to atomic_long_xchg	Deng-Cheng Zhu	1	-1/+1
	Perf-events is now using local_t helper functions internally. There is a use of local_xchg(). On MIPS, this is defined to xchg_local() which is missing in asm/system.h. This patch re-defines local_xchg() in asm/local.h to atomic_long_xchg(). Then Perf-events can pass the build.

2010-01-05	local_t: Remove cpu_local_xx macros	Christoph Lameter	1	-25/+0
	These macros have not been used for awhile now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-09-17	MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.	David Daney	1	-4/+4
	On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in asm/futex.h). We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex code to use it. Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.
