[PATCH] ppc64: Don't count number of events processed for caller

2005-06-30T05:15:53+00:00

Currently we count the number of lpevents processed in 3 seperate places.

One of these counters is never read, so just remove it. This means
hvlpevent_queue_process() no longer needs to return the number of events
processed.

[PATCH] ppc64: Rename ItLpQueue_* functions to hvlpevent_queue_*

2005-06-30T05:15:42+00:00

Now that we've renamed the xItLpQueue structure, rename the functions that
operate on it also.

[PATCH] ppc64: Don't pass the pointers to xItLpQueue around

2005-06-30T05:07:57+00:00

Because there's only one ItLpQueue and we know where it is, ie. xItLpQueue,
there's no point passing pointers to it it around all over the place.

[PATCH] ppc64: Remove lpqueue pointer from the paca on iSeries

2005-06-30T05:07:09+00:00

The iSeries code keeps a pointer to the ItLpQueue in its paca struct. But
all these pointers end up pointing to the one place, ie. xItLpQueue.

So remove the pointer from the paca struct and just refer to xItLpQueue
directly where needed.

The only complication is that the spread_lpevents logic was implemented by
having a NULL lpqueue pointer in the paca on CPUs that weren't supposed to
process events. Instead we just compare the spread_lpevents value to the
processor id to get the same behaviour.

[PATCH] ppc64 iSeries: tidy up some includes and HvCall.h

2005-06-22T01:46:28+00:00

This patch removes some unused bits from HvCall.h and some unneeded #includes
from other files.  Also includes ItLpQueue.h in paca.h in preference to a stub
declaration of struct ItLpQueue.

[PATCH] ppc64 iSeries: fix boot time setting

2005-05-25T17:13:43+00:00

For quite a while, there has existed a hypervisor bug on legacy iSeries
which means that we do not get the boot time set in the kernel.  This
patch works around that bug.  This was most noticable when the root
partition needed to be checked at every boot as the kernel thought it
was some time in 1905 until user mode reset the time correctly.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
