  • The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
    specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
    the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

    Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
    name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
    atomic_spin or whatever

    No functional change.

  • Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
    of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
    variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
    created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.

    Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

    tj: * Updated to convert stuff which were missed by or added after the
    original patch.

    * Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

  • Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic
    lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's
    which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources.

    This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t. I also
    "fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

  • This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
    de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
    things:

    - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code

    - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files

    - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
    features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.

    - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.

    Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
    located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
    variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)

    Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
    write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
    All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
    spin/rwlock lockups.

    The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
    subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
    lives in the generic headers:

    include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
    include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16

    I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
    making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:

    SMP | UP
    ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
    asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
    linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
    asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
    linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
    linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h

    /*
    * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
    *
    * on SMP builds:
    *
    * asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
    * initializers
    *
    * linux/spinlock_types.h:
    * defines the generic type and initializers
    *
    * asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
    * implementations, mostly inline assembly code
    *
    * (also included on UP-debug builds:)
    *
    * linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
    * contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
    *
    * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
    *
    * on UP builds:
    *
    * linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
    * contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
    * (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
    *
    * linux/spinlock_types.h:
    * defines the generic type and initializers
    *
    * linux/spinlock_up.h:
    * contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
    * builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
    * builds)
    *
    * (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
    *
    * linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
    * builds the _spin_*() APIs.
    *

    All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.

    arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
    crosscompilers. m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
    be mostly fine.

    From: Grant Grundler

    Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
    Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
    non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.

    I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
    some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
    are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
    expect any new issues to arise with them.

    If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
    need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
    that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
    (load and clear word).

  • In the new io infrastructure, all of our operators are expecting the
    underlying device to be little endian (because the PCI bus, their main
    consumer, is LE).

    However, there are a fair few devices and busses in the world that are
    actually Big Endian. There's even evidence that some of these BE bus and
    chip types are attached to LE systems. Thus, there's a need for a BE
    equivalent of our io{read,write}{16,32} operations.

    The attached patch adds this as io{read,write}{16,32}be. When it's in,
    I'll add the first consume (the 53c700 SCSI chip driver).

  • 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!
