powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

powerpc: Make core id information available to userspace

2008-07-28T06:30:52+00:00

Existing Open Firmware practice is to report each processor core as a separate node in the device tree. Report the value of the "reg" OF property corresponding to a logical CPU's device node as the core_id attribute in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/core_id.

powerpc: Make core sibling information available to userspace

2008-07-28T06:30:51+00:00

Implement the notion of "core siblings" for powerpc. This makes /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/core_siblings present sensible values, indicating online CPUs which share an L2 cache.

asm-generic: add node_to_cpumask_ptr macro

2008-04-19T17:44:58+00:00

Create a simple macro to always return a pointer to the node_to_cpumask(node) value. This relies on compiler optimization to remove the extra indirection: #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \ cpumask_t _##v = node_to_cpumask(node), *v = &_##v For those systems with a large cpumask size, then a true pointer to the array element can be used: #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \ cpumask_t *v = &(node_to_cpumask_map[node]) A node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() macro is provided to access another node_to_cpumask value. The other change is to always include asm-generic/topology.h moving the ifdef CONFIG_NUMA to this same file. Note: there are no references to either of these new macros in this patch, only the definition.

Convert cpu_sibling_map to be a per cpu variable

2007-10-16T16:42:50+00:00

Convert cpu_sibling_map from a static array sized by NR_CPUS to a per_cpu variable. This saves sizeof(cpumask_t) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions.

[PATCH] sched: remove SMT nice

2007-03-05T15:57:51+00:00

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be unworkable. Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by this code. Also: The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks has gone in.

[PATCH] sched: add option to serialize load balancing

2006-12-10T17:55:43+00:00

Large sched domains can be very expensive to scan. Add an option SD_SERIALIZE to the sched domain flags. If that flag is set then we make sure that no other such domain is being balanced.

[POWERPC] fix building without PCI

2006-12-04T09:41:21+00:00

At least the ide driver calls pcibus_to_node, which is not defined when CONFIG_PCI is disabled. This adds a nop function for the !PCI case. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

[POWERPC] Add the thread_siblings files to sysfs

2006-11-15T23:31:14+00:00

This adds the /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/topology/thread_siblings files on powerpc. These files are already available on other architectures. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] sched: introduce child field in sched_domain

2006-10-03T15:04:06+00:00

Introduce the child field in sched_domain struct and use it in sched_balance_self(). We will also use this field in cleaning up the sched group cpu_power setup(done in a different patch) code.
