2005-12-24	[PATCH] x86_64/ia64 : Fix compilation error for node_to_first_cpu	Ravikiran G Thirumalai	1	-1/+1
	Fixes a compiler error in node_to_first_cpu, __ffs expects unsigned long as a parameter; instead cpumask_t was being passed. The macro node_to_first_cpu was not yet used in x86_64 and ia64 arches, and so we never hit this. This patch replaces __ffs with first_cpu macro, similar to other arches.

2005-11-14	[PATCH] x86_64: Speed up numa_node_id by putting it directly into the PDA	Andi Kleen	1	-0/+2
	Not go from the CPU number to an mapping array. Mode number is often used now in fast paths. This also adds a generic numa_node_id to all the topology includes Suggested by Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-12	[PATCH] x86-64: Use ACPI PXM to parse PCI<->node assignments	Andi Kleen	1	-2/+1
	Since this is shared code I had to implement it for i386 too Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

	Do some basic initial tuning. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@yahoo.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-25	[PATCH] sched: balance on fork	Nick Piggin	1	-0/+2
	Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the NUMA domain. The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a new one. This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

2005-06-25	[PATCH] sched: no aggressive idle balancing	Nick Piggin	1	-1/+0
	Remove the very aggressive idle stuff that has recently gone into 2.6 - it is going against the direction we are trying to go. Hopefully we can regain performance through other methods.

2005-06-25	[PATCH] sched: balance timers	Nick Piggin	1	-1/+5
	Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals. Allow each interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load. 0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased). So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] x86/x86_64: pcibus_to_node	Christoph Lameter	1	-11/+3
	Define pcibus_to_node to be able to figure out which NUMA node contains a given PCI device. This defines pcibus_to_node(bus) in include/linux/topology.h and adjusts the macros for i386 and x86_64 that already provided a way to determine the cpumask of a pci device. x86_64 was changed to not build an array of cpumasks anymore. Instead an array of nodes is build which can be used to generate the cpumask via node_to_cpumask.

2005-06-23	[PATCH] reorganize x86-64 NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM config options	Matt Tolentino	1	-3/+1
	In order to use the alternative sparsemem implmentation for NUMA kernels, we need to reorganize the config options. This patch effectively abstracts out the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM options to CONFIG_NUMA in most cases. Thus, the discontigmem implementation may be employed as always, but the sparsemem implementation may be used alternatively.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+68
	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!
