sched: Provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule()

2011-04-14T06:52:32+00:00

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.

In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.

This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.

BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

arch/tile: warn and retry if an IPI is not accepted by the target cpu

2011-03-01T21:20:16+00:00

Previously we assumed this was impossible, but in fact it can happen.
Handle it gracefully by retrying after issuing a warning.

arch/tile: bomb raw_local_irq_ to arch_local_irq_

2010-11-01T19:30:42+00:00

This completes the tile migration to the new naming scheme for
the architecture-specific irq management code.

arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM port

2010-10-15T19:38:09+00:00

While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel
to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable
config switch.  Pushing up this change avoids handling branch
merge issues going forward with the KVM work.

arch/tile: Enable more sophisticated IRQ model for 32-bit chips.

2010-07-06T17:34:01+00:00

This model is based on the on-chip interrupt model used by the
TILE-Gx next-generation hardware, and interacts much more cleanly
with the Linux generic IRQ layer.

The change includes modifications to the Tilera hypervisor, which
are reflected in the hypervisor headers in arch/tile/include/arch/.

arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.

2010-06-04T21:11:18+00:00

This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips.
No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet.

This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level
low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are
shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic;
and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
