linux-toradex.git/arch/x86/include/asm/numachip, branch v3.4.78 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules x86: Add NumaChip support 2011-12-05T16:17:24+00:00 Steffen Persvold sp@numascale.com 2011-12-05T16:07:26+00:00 44b111b519160e33fdc41eadb39af86a24707edf Adds support for Numascale NumaChip large-SMP systems. It is needed to enable the booting of more than ~168 cores. v2: - [Steffen] enumerate only accessible northbridges - [Daniel] rediffed and validated against 3.1-rc10 v3: - [Daniel] use x86_init core numbering override - [Daniel] cleanups as per feedback v4: - [Daniel] use updated x86_cpuinit override v5: - drop disabling interrupts locally, as ISR write is atomic; drop delay - added read-mostly annotations where appropriate - require CONFIG_SMP, so drop conditional path Workload tested on 96 cores/16 sockets.

Adds support for Numascale NumaChip large-SMP systems. It is
needed to enable the booting of more than ~168 cores.

v2:
 - [Steffen] enumerate only accessible northbridges
 - [Daniel] rediffed and validated against 3.1-rc10

v3:
 - [Daniel] use x86_init core numbering override
 - [Daniel] cleanups as per feedback

v4:
 - [Daniel] use updated x86_cpuinit override

v5:
 - drop disabling interrupts locally, as ISR write is atomic; drop delay
 - added read-mostly annotations where appropriate
 - require CONFIG_SMP, so drop conditional path

Workload tested on 96 cores/16 sockets.
