2010-10-27percpu: Remove the multi-page alignment facilityIngo Molnar
[DECLARE|DEFINE]_PER_CPU_MULTIPAGE_ALIGNED never really worked because the head percpu section was only page aligned. Now that the last user is gone (32-bit IRQ stacks), remove the generic percpu facility.

2010-10-20percpu: Introduce a read-mostly percpu APIShaohua Li
Add a new readmostly percpu section and API. This can be used to avoid dirtying data lines which are generally not written to, which is especially important for data which may be accessed by processors other than the one for which the percpu area belongs to.

2010-09-07x86, 32-bit: Align percpu area and irq stacks to THREAD_SIZEAlexander van Heukelum
The irq stacks, located in the percpu-area, need to be THREAD_SIZE aligned. Add the infrastucture to align percpu variables to larger-than-pagesize amounts within the percpu area, and use it to specify the alignment for the irq stacks. Also align the percpu area itself to THREAD_SIZE. This should make irq stacks work with 8K THREAD_SIZE.

2009-10-29percpu: remove per_cpu__ prefix.Rusty Russell
Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly. Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch). tj: * Updated to convert stuff which were missed by or added after the original patch. * Kill per_cpu_var() macro.

DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() put percpu variables in .page_aligned section without adding any alignment restrictions. Currently, this doesn't cause any problem because all users of the macros have explicit page alignment and page-sized but it's much safer to enforce page alignment from the macros. After all, it's what they claim to do. Add __aligned(PAGE_SIZE) to DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() and drop explicit alignment from it users.

2009-07-04Merge branch 'master' into for-nextTejun Heo
Pull linus#master to merge PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES and alpha build fix changes. As alpha in percpu tree uses 'weak' attribute instead of inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute. Conflicts: arch/alpha/include/asm/percpu.h arch/mn10300/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S include/linux/percpu-defs.h
2009-06-30alpha: fix percpu build breakageTejun Heo
alpha percpu access requires custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() definition for modules to work around addressing range limitation. This is done via generating inline assembly using C preprocessing which forces the assembler to generate external reference. This happens behind the compiler's back and makes the compiler think that static percpu variables in modules are unused. This used to be worked around by using __unused attribute for percpu variables which prevent the compiler from omitting the variable; however, recent declare/definition attribute unification change broke this as __used can't be used for declaration. Also, in the process, PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES definition in alpha percpu.h got broken. This patch adds PER_CPU_DEF_ATTRIBUTES which is only used for definitions and make alpha use it to add __used for percpu variables in modules. This also fixes the PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES double definition bug.

2009-06-24percpu: implement optional weak percpu definitionsTejun Heo
Some archs (alpha and s390) need to use weak definitions for percpu variables in modules so that the compiler generates external references for them. This patch implements weak percpu definitions which arch can enable by defining ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU in arch percpu header file. This weak definition adds the following two restrictions on percpu variable definitions. 1. percpu symbols must be unique whether static or not 2. percpu variables can't be defined inside a function To ensure that these restrictions are observed in generic code, config option DEBUG_FORCE_WEAK_PER_CPU enables weak percpu definitions for all cases. This patch is inspired by Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

2009-04-21PERCPU: Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations togetherDavid Howells
Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly the SHARED_ALIGNED variant. It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).
