alpha: bad macro expansion, parameter is member

2009-06-17T02:47:46+00:00

`for_each_mem_cluster(x, y, z)' will expand to
`for ((x) = (y)->x ...' but correct is `for ((x) = (y)->cluster ...'

alpha: convert u64 to unsigned long long

2009-04-01T15:59:16+00:00

Convert alpha architecture to use u64 as unsigned long long.  This is
being done so that (a) all arches use u64 as unsigned long long and (b)
printk of a u64 as %ll[ux] will not generate format warnings by gcc.

The only gcc cross-compiler that I have is 4.0.2, which generates errors
about miscompiling __weak references, so I have commented out that line in
compiler-gcc4.h so that most of these compile, but more builds and real
machine testing would be Real Good.

cpumask: alpha: Introduce cpumask_of_{node,pcibus} to replace {node,pcibus}_to_cpumask

2008-12-26T11:53:41+00:00

Impact: New APIs

The old node_to_cpumask/node_to_pcibus returned a cpumask_t: these
return a pointer to a struct cpumask.  Part of removing cpumasks from
the stack.

I'm not sure the existing code even compiles, but new version is
straightforward.

Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()

2008-02-07T16:42:25+00:00

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot console

2007-05-08T18:15:04+00:00

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the
CON_BOOT flag.  The implementation has some flaws though.  The major
problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore
any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel
command line).

This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot
console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will
become the default console instead.  This way the unregister call for the
boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the
handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly.
Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the
output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages.

The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly
disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically
with that patch.

I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances
found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed.  The
code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by
Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc.
