  • This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch
    of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm,
    arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough
    to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.

    For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and
    arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes
    to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.

    The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.

  • This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu
    is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It
    can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is
    connected to a GPIO pin.

    With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which
    means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code
    refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope
    with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

  • This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
    Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.

    The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
    spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
    usage side.

    Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
    complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
    __smp_processor_id.

    In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:

    - smp_processor_id(): debug variant.

    - raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
    uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
    by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.

    There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:

    - debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
    smp_processor_id().

    Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
    lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
    clarified.

    I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:

    {SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}

    I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
    architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

  • 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!
