      performance counters: x86 support · 241771ef
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Implement performance counters for x86 Intel CPUs.
      
      It's simplified right now: the PERFMON CPU feature is assumed,
      which is available in Core2 and later Intel CPUs.
      
      The design is flexible to be extended to more CPU types as well.

      x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h> · 7414aa41
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
      predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
      /proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.
      
      It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
      making that require a separate action it should at least be less
      likely to happen.
      
      It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
      gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
      interface and must remain constant.)

      x86: configuration options to compile out x86 CPU support code · 8d02c211
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      This patch adds some configuration options that allow to compile out
      CPU vendor-specific code in x86 kernels (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu). The
      new configuration options are only visible when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
      selected, as they are mostly interesting for space savings reasons.
      
      An example of size saving, on x86 with only Intel CPU support:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      1125479	 118760	 212992	1457231	 163c4f	vmlinux.old
      1121355	 116536	 212992	1450883	 162383	vmlinux
        -4124   -2224       0   -6348   -18CC +/-
      
      However, I'm not exactly sure that the Kconfig wording is correct with
      regard to !64BIT / 64BIT.

      x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place · 774400a3
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions
      (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg
      and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific
      file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when
      they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the
      compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled.
      
      This patch moves these functions to a new
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cmpxchg.c file, unconditionally compiled when
      X86_32 is enabled.

      x86: remove NexGen support · f7f17a67
      Dmitri Vorobiev 提交于
      It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
      
         http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
      
      Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
      a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
      essentially dead.
      
      As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
      above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
      
      The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
      couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
      which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      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!
