2007-10-19	remove unused flush_tlb_pgtables	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-5/+0
	Nobody uses flush_tlb_pgtables anymore, this patch removes all remaining traces of it from all archs.

2007-05-30	[ARM] 4394/1: ARMv7: Add the TLB range operations	Catalin Marinas	1	-0/+13
	We are currently using the ARMv6 operations but need to duplicate some of the code because of the introduction of the new CPU barrier instructions in ARMv7. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2007-05-21	Detach sched.h from mm.h	Alexey Dobriyan	1	-0/+2
	First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%). Cross-compile tested on all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs, alpha alpha-up arm i386 i386-up i386-defconfig i386-allnoconfig ia64 ia64-up m68k mips parisc parisc-up powerpc powerpc-up s390 s390-up sparc sparc-up sparc64 sparc64-up um-x86_64 x86_64 x86_64-up x86_64-defconfig x86_64-allnoconfig as well as my two usual configs.

2007-02-08	[ARM] 4129/1: Add barriers after the TLB operations	Catalin Marinas	1	-12/+38
	The architecture specification states that TLB operations are guaranteed to be complete only after the execution of a DSB (Data Synchronisation Barrier, former Data Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer). The branch target cache invalidation is also needed. The ISB (Instruction Synchronisation Barrier, formerly Prefetch Flush) is needed unless there will be a return from exception before the corresponding mapping is used (i.e. user mappings).

2006-09-20	[ARM] 3759/2: Remove uses of %?	Daniel Jacobowitz	1	-38/+38
	Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz The ARM kernel has several uses of asm("foo%?"). %? is a GCC internal modifier used to output conditional execution predicates. However, no version of GCC supports conditionalizing asm statements. GCC 4.2 will correctly expand %? to the empty string in user asms. Earlier versions may reuse the condition from the previous instruction. In 'if (foo) asm ("bar%?");' this is somewhat likely to be right... but not reliable. So, the only safe thing to do is to remove the uses of %?. I believe the tlbflush.h occurances were supposed to be removed before, based on the comment about %? not working at the top of that file. Old versions of GCC could omit branches around user asms if the asm didn't mark the condition codes as clobbered. This problem hasn't been seen on any recent (3.x or 4.x) GCC, but it could theoretically happen. So, where %? was removed a cc clobber was added.

2006-03-07	[ARM] 3352/1: DSB required for the completion of a TLB maintenance operation	Catalin Marinas	1	-0/+6
	Patch from Catalin Marinas Chapter B2.7.3 in the latest ARM ARM (with v6 information) states that the completion of a TLB maintenance operation is only guaranteed by the execution of a DSB (Data Syncronization Barrier, formerly Data Write Barrier or Drain Write Buffer). Note that a DSB is only needed in the flush_tlb_kernel_* functions since the completion is guaranteed by a mode change (i.e. switching back to user mode) for the flush_tlb_user_* functions.

2005-06-28	[PATCH] ARM SMP: TLB implementations only affect local CPU	Russell King	1	-6/+22

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+404
	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!
