powerpc: Remove FW_FEATURE ISERIES from arch code

2012-03-21T00:16:11+00:00

This is no longer selectable, so just remove all the dependent code.

powerpc: various straight conversions from module.h --> export.h

2011-10-31T23:30:44+00:00

All these files were including module.h just for the basic
EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure.  We can shift them off to the
export.h header which is a way smaller footprint and thus
realize some compile time gains.

powerpc: Abstract indexing of lppaca structs

2010-09-02T04:07:31+00:00

Currently we have the lppaca structs as a simple array of NR_CPUS
entries, taking up space in the data section of the kernel image.
In future we would like to allocate them dynamically, so this
abstracts out the accesses to the array, making it easier to
change how we locate the lppaca for a given cpu in future.
Specifically, lppaca[cpu] changes to lppaca_of(cpu).

locking: Convert raw_rwlock to arch_rwlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32+00:00

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping
rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention.

No functional change.

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32+00:00

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.

Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever

No functional change.

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA

2006-01-13T10:17:39+00:00

At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure.  This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.

This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA.  On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.

The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.
