alpha: io: implement relaxed accessor macros for writes

2014-08-29T18:18:45+00:00

write{b,w,l,q}_relaxed are implemented by some architectures in order to
permit memory-mapped I/O writes with weaker barrier semantics than the
non-relaxed variants.

This patch implements these write macros for Alpha, in the same vein as
the relaxed read macros, which are already implemented.

lib/scatterlist: clean up useless architecture versions of scatterlist.h

2014-08-08T22:57:26+00:00

There's no need to have an architecture version of scatterlist.h if the
only thing the file does is include asm-generic/scatterlist.h.  Switch to
the asm-generic versions directly.

arch, locking: Ciao arch_mutex_cpu_relax()

2014-07-17T10:32:47+00:00

The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f, is
hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact
that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus
impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays
we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and
lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header,
any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well.

This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency  ("relax, but
only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in
each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax
functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax,
and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant,
I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific
logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to
transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

PCI: Turn pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() into a weak function

2014-05-27T22:23:58+00:00

pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() is only implemented by x86 now, and legacy ISA
is not used by some architectures.  Make pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() a
__weak function to simplify the code.  This removes the need for new
platforms to add stub implementations of pcibios_penalize_isa_irq().

sched/idle, alpha: Switch from TS_POLLING to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG

2014-05-08T07:16:53+00:00

Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that
both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word.
This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and
check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless
wakeups.

Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic
thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state
changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway.

arch,alpha: Convert smp_mb__*() to the asm-generic primitives

2014-04-18T09:40:31+00:00

The Alpha ll/sc primitives do not imply any sort of barrier; therefore
the smp_mb__{before,after} should be a full barrier. This is the
default from asm-generic/barrier.h and therefore just remove the
current definitions.

arch: Remove stub cputime.h headers

2014-03-13T15:09:30+00:00

Many architectures have a stub cputime.h that only include the default
cputime.h

Lets remove the useless headers, we only need to mention that we want
the default headers on the Kbuild files.
