Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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!

alpha: unbreak percpu again Commit 9b8de7479d0dbab1ed98b5b015d44232c9d3d08e ("FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()") cleaned up DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU() macros and in the process made alpha percpu.h include include/asm-generic/percpu.h which breaks compilation due to duplicate definitions. Remove inclusion of generic asm helper file and define whatever necessary in alpha header proper. In the longer term, percpu definitions will be unified and all these little subtlties will be removed.

alpha: fix module load failures on smp (bug #10926) To calculate addresses of locally defined variables, GCC uses 32-bit displacement from the GP. Which doesn't work for per cpu variables in modules, as an offset to the kernel per cpu area is way above 4G. The workaround is to force allocation of a GOT entry for per cpu variable using ldq instruction with a 'literal' relocation. I had to use custom asm/percpu.h, as a required argument magic doesn't work with asm-generic/percpu.h macros.

alpha: switch to dynamic percpu allocator Alpha implements custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR for modules because percpu area can be located far away from the 4G area where the module text is located. The custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR forces GOT usage using ldq instruction with literal relocation; however, the relocation can't be used with dynamically allocated percpu variables. Fortunately, similar result can be achieved by using weak percpu variable definitions. This patch makes alpha use weak definitions and switch to dynamic percpu allocator. asm/tlbflush.h was getting linux/sched.h via asm/percpu.h which no longer needs it. Include linux/sched.h directly in asm/tlbflush.h. Compile tested. Generation of litereal relocation verified. This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
