alpha: Switch to GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS

2013-11-17T00:33:19+00:00

This allows us to get rid of some hacky code for SMP.  Get rid of
some cycle counter hackery that's now handled by generic code via
clocksource + clock_event_device objects.

alpha: kernel: typo issue, using '1' instead of '11'

2013-07-19T20:54:19+00:00

For sending message:

        *(unsigned int *)&cpu->ipc_buffer[0] = len;
        cp1 = (char *) &cpu->ipc_buffer[1];

But for receive message:

                cnt = cpu->ipc_buffer[0] >> 32;
                ...
                       cp1 = (char *) &cpu->ipc_buffer[11];

They are not pairs, it is typo issue of the redundency '1'.

So need use '1' instead of '11'.

alpha: kernel: using memcpy() instead of strcpy()

2013-07-19T20:54:14+00:00

When sending message in send_secondary_console_msg(), the length is not
include the NUL byte, and also not copy NUL to 'ipc_buffer'.

When receive message in recv_secondary_console_msg(), the 'cnt' also
excludes NUL.

So when get string from ipc_buffer, it may not be NUL terminated.

Then use memcpy() instead of strcpy(), and set last byte NUL.

alpha: delete __cpuinit usage from all users

2013-07-14T23:36:51+00:00

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 alpha uses of the __cpuinit macros.

ALPHA: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:13+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

alpha: Fix preemption handling in idle loop

2012-09-23T14:44:42+00:00

cpu_idle() is called on the boot CPU by the init code with
preemption disabled. But the cpu_idle() function in alpha
doesn't handle this when it calls schedule() directly.

Fix it by converting it into schedule_preempt_disabled().

Also disable preemption before calling cpu_idle() from
secondary CPU entry code to stay consistent with this
state.
