2005-09-05	[PATCH] ppc64: Add VMX save flag to VPA	Olof Johansson	1	-0/+1
	We need to indicate to the hypervisor that it needs to save our VMX registers when switching partitions on a shared-processor system, just as it needs to for FP and PMC registers. This could be made to be on-demand when VMX is used, but we don't do that for FP nor PMC right now either so let's not overcomplicate things.

2005-08-29	[PATCH] Change address of ppc64 initial segment table	David Gibson	1	-2/+2
	On ppc64 machines with segment tables, CPU0's segment table is at a fixed address, currently 0x9000. This patch moves it to the free space at 0x6000, just below the fwnmi data area. This saves 8k of space in vmlinux and the runtime kernel image. Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2005-06-30	[PATCH] ppc64: Reorganise the paca initialisation macros	Michael Ellerman	1	-146/+65
	This patch updates the macros that initialise the paca to remove the lpq parameter. It also rearranges them a bit with the hope of making them a bit clearer.

2005-06-30	[PATCH] ppc64: Remove lpqueue pointer from the paca on iSeries	Michael Ellerman	1	-1/+0
	The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue. So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue directly where needed. The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the processor id to get the same behaviour.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+224
	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!
