2007-05-08	atomic.h: atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency	Mathieu Desnoyers	1	-76/+15
	atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency. I agree (with Andi Kleen) this typeof is not needed and more error prone. All the original atomic.h code that uses cmpxchg (which includes the atomic_add_unless) uses defines instead of inline functions, probably to circumvent a circular dependency between system.h and atomic.h on powerpc (which my patch addresses). Therefore, it makes sense to use inline functions that will provide type checking. atomic_add_unless as inline. Remove system.h atomic.h circular dependency. Digging into the FRV architecture shows me that it is also affected by such a circular dependency. Here is the diff applying this against the rest of my atomic.h patches. It applies over the atomic.h standardization patches.

2006-02-14	[PATCH] FRV: Miscellaneous fixes	David Howells	1	-3/+3
	Make various alterations and fixes to the FRV arch: (1) Resyncs the FRV system call collection with the i386 arch. (2) Discards __iounmap() as it's not used. (3) Fixes the use of the SWAP/SWAPI instruction to get the arguments the right way around in atomic.h, and also to get the asm constraints correct. (4) Moves copy_to/from_user_page() to asm/cacheflush.h to be consistent with other archs.

2006-01-06	[PATCH] atomic_long_t & include/asm-generic/atomic.h V2	Christoph Lameter	1	-0/+1
	Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms. The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive use of atomic64. This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

2005-11-13	[PATCH] atomic: inc_not_zero	Nick Piggin	1	-0/+10
	Introduce an atomic_inc_not_zero operation. Make this a special case of atomic_add_unless because lockless pagecache actually wants atomic_inc_not_negativeone due to its offset refcount.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+417
	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!
