lmb: rename to memblock

2010-07-14T07:14:00+00:00

via following scripts

      FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

      sed -i \
        -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
        -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
        $FILES

      for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
        M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
        mv $N $M
      done

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

Since the *_map cpumask variants are deprecated, change the comments to
instead refer to *_mask.

powerpc/cpumask: Convert /proc/cpuinfo to new cpumask API

powerpc/cpumask: Refactor /proc/cpuinfo code

2010-05-06T07:41:54+00:00

This separates the per cpu output from the summary output at the end of the
file, making it easier to convert to the new cpumask API in a subsequent
patch.

powerpc: Dynamically allocate pacas

2010-03-09T00:52:52+00:00

On 64-bit kernels we currently have a 512 byte struct paca_struct for
each cpu (usually just called "the paca"). Currently they are statically
allocated, which means a kernel built for a large number of cpus will
waste a lot of space if it's booted on a machine with few cpus.

We can avoid that by only allocating the number of pacas we need at
boot. However this is complicated by the fact that we need to access
the paca before we know how many cpus there are in the system.

The solution is to dynamically allocate enough space for NR_CPUS pacas,
but then later in boot when we know how many cpus we have, we free any
unused pacas.

percpu: make percpu symbols in powerpc unique

2009-10-29T13:34:14+00:00

This patch updates percpu related symbols in powerpc such that percpu
symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.  This serves
two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol
collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols.

* arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/dtl.c: s/dtl/cpu_dtl/

* arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/interrupt.c: s/iic/cpu_iic/

Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

headers: utsname.h redux

2009-09-24T01:13:10+00:00

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h --
   not needed after kref conversion
 * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it

NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however
due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related
headers and files alone.
