locking: Convert raw_rwlock to arch_rwlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32+00:00

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping
rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention.

No functional change.

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32+00:00

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

No functional change.

powerpc/8xx: Start using dcbX instructions in various copy routines

2009-12-09T06:10:37+00:00

Now that 8xx can fixup dcbX instructions, start using them
where possible like every other PowerPc arch do.

powerpc: perf_event: Cleanup copy_page output by hiding setup symbol

2009-10-28T05:13:05+00:00

A lot of hits in "setup" doesn't make much sense, so hide this symbol and
allow all the hits to end up in copy_4k_page.

powerpc: Add configurable -Werror for arch/powerpc

2009-06-16T04:15:45+00:00

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.

The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.

The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.

The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.

It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

Revert "powerpc: Rework dma-noncoherent to use generic vmalloc layer"

2009-05-27T03:33:14+00:00

This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8.

    While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
    of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
    one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
    dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
    and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\       that :-(

    Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
    drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
    our custom virtual space allocator.

    There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
    would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.

    However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
    both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
    do exist !) so we can sort that out later.
