      Remove unnecessary cast in prefetch() · 4ecbca85
      Serge Belyshev 提交于
      It is ok to call prefetch() function with NULL argument, as specifically
      commented in include/linux/prefetch.h.  But in standard C, it is invalid
      to dereference NULL pointer (see C99 standard 6.5.3.2 paragraph 4 and
      note #84).
      
      prefetch() has a memory reference for its argument.
      
      Newer gcc versions (4.3 and above) will use that to conclude that "x"
      argument is non-null and thus wreaking havok everywhere prefetch() was
      inlined.
      
      Fixed by removing cast and changing asm constraint.
      
      [ It seems in theory gcc 4.2 could miscompile this too; although no
        cases known.  In 2.6.24 we should probably switch to
        __builtin_prefetch() instead, but this is a simpler fix for now.

      x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions. · f25f64ed
      Juergen Beisert 提交于
      Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line
      like this fails (and does nothing):
      
      	setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88);
      
      With inlined functions this line will work as expected.
      
      Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the
      "suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this
      wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but
      this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction.
      Kernel output something like this:
      	Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns)
      
      This is the 3rd version of this patch.
      
       - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c
      	Thanks to Andres Salomon
       - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file
       	Suggested by Andi Kleen

      [PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core · 1e9f28fa
      Siddha, Suresh B 提交于
      Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
      between cores.  Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
      cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package.  If
      there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
      processes will be scheduled on different packages.
      
      On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
      specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
      users).
      
      This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
      caches.  On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
      degeneration code.  This new domain can be also used for implementing power
      savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
      I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)
      
      Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.
