2005-04-21	[IA64] fix fls()	David Mosberger-Tang	1	-3/+7
	The ia64-version of fls() never worked as intended (the bitnumbering was off by 1 and fls(0) was undefined). This patch fixes the problem by using a popcnt-based fls(), which on McKinley-derived cores is slightly faster than both ia64_fls() and generic_fls(). The resulting code, however, is bigger (7-8 bundles instead of about 3 bundles). Also switch ia64_popcnt() to __builtin_popcountl() for GCC v3.4 or newer since the compiler can predicate that and schedule it better. Thanks to Simon Derr and Matt Mackall for tracking down this bug. Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+597
	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!
