ALPHA: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:13+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

alpha: Fix preemption handling in idle loop

2012-09-23T14:44:42+00:00

cpu_idle() is called on the boot CPU by the init code with
preemption disabled. But the cpu_idle() function in alpha
doesn't handle this when it calls schedule() directly.

Fix it by converting it into schedule_preempt_disabled().

Also disable preemption before calling cpu_idle() from
secondary CPU entry code to stay consistent with this
state.

We plan to remove cpu_xx() old APIs.  Thus convert them.  This patch has

sched: Provide scheduler_ipi() callback in response to smp_send_reschedule()

2011-04-14T06:52:32+00:00

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.

In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.

This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.

BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

cpumask: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask: alpha

2009-09-24T00:04:43+00:00

We're weaning the core code off handing cpumask's around on-stack.
This introduces arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask().

We also take the chance to wean the send_ipi_message off the
obsolescent for_each_cpu_mask(): making it take a pointer seemed the
most natural way to do this.
