SMTC pseudo-interrupts between TCs are deferred and queued if the target
TC is interrupt-inhibited (IXMT). In the first SMTC prototypes, these
queued IPIs were serviced on return to user mode, or on entry into the
kernel idle loop. The INSTANT_REPLAY option dispatches them as part of
local_irq_restore() processing, which adds runtime overhead (hence the
option to turn it off), but ensures that IPIs are handled promptly even
under heavy I/O interrupt load.

<title>[PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel</title>
<updated>2006-12-08T16:28:51+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>
<email>dhowells@redhat.com</email>
</author>
<published>2006-12-08T10:37:49+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=f0d1b0b30d250a07627ad8b9fbbb5c7cc08422e8'/>
<id>f0d1b0b30d250a07627ad8b9fbbb5c7cc08422e8</id>
<content type='text'>
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

<title>[MIPS] Compile __do_IRQ() when really needed</title>

__do_IRQ() is needed only by irq handlers that can't use
default handlers defined in kernel/irq/chip.c.

For others platforms there's no need to compile this function
since it won't be used. For those platforms this patch defines
GENERIC_HARDIRQS_NO__DO_IRQ symbol which is used exactly for
this purpose.

Futhermore for platforms which do not use __do_IRQ(), end()
method which is part of the 'irq_chip' structure is not used.
This patch simply removes this method in this case.

<title>[MIPS] Use SYSVIPC_COMPAT to fix various problems on N32</title>

N32 SysV IPC system calls should use 32-bit compatible code.
arch/mips/kernel/linux32.c have similar compatible code for O32, but
ipc/compat.c seems more complete.  We can use it for both N32 and O32.

This patch should fix these problems (and other possible problems):
