[PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from devinit to cpuinit

2007-01-12T02:18:20+00:00

Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up
from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
.text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'

This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
defined as __devinit
AND
__cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.

Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
we get a .text refering .init.data warning.

This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
are of __init type.

Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
land up in .init section.

Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

[MIPS] Avoid interprocessor function calls.

2006-07-13T20:25:56+00:00

On the 34K where multiple virtual processors are implemented in a single
core and share a single TLB, interprocessor function calls are not needed
to flush a cache, so avoid them.

[PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node struct

2006-06-28T00:32:37+00:00

With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime.  I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add.  But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu().  When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument.  But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch).  We can get struct node in generic way.  So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined.  It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs.  cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu->node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument.  This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.
