• 8c37bb3ac   clocksource+irqchip: delete __cpuinit usage from all related files ... Browse Code »

  The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
  some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
  do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
  commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
  is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
  with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

  After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
  the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
  we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

  This removes all the drivers/clocksource and drivers/irqchip uses of
  the __cpuinit macros from all C files.

  Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers.
  The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
  the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
  counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.
