2008-01-30x86: unify arch/x86/lib/Makefile(s)Sam Ravnborg3-26/+24
Trivial unification of Makefiles for the x86 specific library part. Linking order is slightly modified but should be harmless. Tested doing a defconfig build before and after and saw no build changes. It adds almost as many lines as it deletes - bacause I broke a few lines up fo readability in the Makefile.

2007-11-14x86: disable preemption in delay_tsc()Andrew Morton2-4/+10
Marin Mitov points out that delay_tsc() can misbehave if it is preempted and rescheduled on a different CPU which has a skewed TSC. Fix it by disabling preemption. (I assume that the worst-case behaviour here is a stall of 2^32 cycles) Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Manually fix trivial conflict with task pid container helper changes in arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c
2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn1-1/+1
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

2007-10-19x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayMike Travis2-2/+3
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.

2007-10-17x86: rename .i assembler includes to .hAdrian Bunk2-3/+3
.i is an ending used for preprocessed stuff. This patch therefore renames assembler include files to .h and guards the contents with an #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__.

2007-10-17i386: Remove strrchr assembler implementationAndi Kleen1-20/+0
The constraints in the inline assembler implementation of i386 strrchr() were incorrect and break the build with recent gcc 4.3. Since there are only very few callers of strrchr() and none of them are performance relevant just remove the assembler implementation and use the C fallback instead.

2007-10-12x86: fence oostores on 64-bitNick Piggin1-0/+1
movnt* instructions are not strongly ordered with respect to other stores, so if we are to assume stores are strongly ordered in the rest of the 64 bit code, we must fence these off (see similar examples in 32 bit code). [ The AMD memory ordering document seems to say that nontemporal stores can also pass earlier regular stores, so maybe we need sfences _before_ movnt* everywhere too? ] Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
