      kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier · e545a614
      Manfred Spraul 提交于
      Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
      cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
      Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
      by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
      
      The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
      that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
      
      Tested on x86-64.
      All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
      it right.

      [PATCH] Change cpu_up and co from __devinit to __cpuinit · b282b6f8
      Gautham R Shenoy 提交于
      Compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG = y and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU = n
      with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE = y generates the following modpost warnings
      
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b7d) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141b9c) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__cpu_up
      from .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141bd8) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c05) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c26) and 'cpu_up'
      WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from
      .text between '_cpu_up' (at offset 0xc0141c37) and 'cpu_up'
      
      This is because cpu_up, _cpu_up and __cpu_up (in some architectures) are
      defined as __devinit
      AND
      __cpu_up calls some __cpuinit functions.
      
      Since __cpuinit would map to __init with this kind of a configuration,
      we get a .text refering .init.data warning.
      
      This patch solves the problem by converting all of __cpu_up, _cpu_up
      and cpu_up from __devinit to __cpuinit. The approach is justified since
      the callers of cpu_up are either dependent on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU or
      are of __init type.
      
      Thus when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y, all these cpu up functions would land up
      in .text section, and when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, all these functions would
      land up in .init section.
      
      Tested on a i386 SMP machine running linux-2.6.20-rc3-mm1.

      [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks · 5bfb5d69
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
      
      Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
      How did it ever work before?
      
      Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
      
      We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
      need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
      
      After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
      into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
      previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
      
      By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
      fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      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!
