2008-08-26	stop_machine: Remove deprecated stop_machine_run	Rusty Russell	1	-18/+1
	Everyone should be using stop_machine() now. The staged API transition helped life in linux-next. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-07-28	stop_machine(): stop_machine_run() changed to use cpu mask	Rusty Russell	1	-10/+24
	Instead of a "cpu" arg with magic values NR_CPUS (any cpu) and ~0 (all cpus), pass a cpumask_t. Allow NULL for the common case (where we don't care which CPU the function is run on): temporary cpumask_t's are usually considered bad for stack space. This deprecates stop_machine_run, to be removed soon when all the callers are dead. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-07-28	Simplify stop_machine	Rusty Russell	1	-12/+8
	stop_machine creates a kthread which creates kernel threads. We can create those threads directly and simplify things a little. Some care must be taken with CPU hotunplug, which has special needs, but that code seems more robust than it was in the past.

2008-07-28	stop_machine: add ALL_CPUS option	Jason Baron	1	-1/+7
	-allow stop_mahcine_run() to call a function on all cpus. Calling stop_machine_run() with a 'ALL_CPUS' invokes this new behavior. stop_machine_run() proceeds as normal until the calling cpu has invoked 'fn'. Then, we tell all the other cpus to call 'fn'.

2006-04-26	Don't include linux/config.h from anywhere else in include/	David Woodhouse	1	-1/+0

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+52
	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!
