• abe842eb9   [PATCH] Avoid namespace pollution in <asm/param.h> ... Browse Code »

  In commit 3D59121003721a8fad11ee72e646fd9d3076b5679c, the x86 and x86-64
  was changed to include for the
  configurable timer frequency.

  However, asm/param.h is sometimes used in userland (it is included
  indirectly from ), so your commit pollutes the userland
  namespace with tons of CONFIG_FOO macros. This greatly confuses
  software packages (such as BusyBox) which use CONFIG_FOO macros
  themselves to control the inclusion of optional features.

  After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch

  Make the timer frequency selectable. The timer interrupt may cause bus
  and memory contention in large NUMA systems since the interrupt occurs
  on each processor HZ times per second.

  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!
