x86, cpu: mv display_cacheinfo -> cpu_detect_cache_sizes

2009-11-23T19:59:53+00:00

display_cacheinfo() doesn't display anything anymore and it is used to
detect CPU cache sizes. Rename it accordingly.

x86: move various CPU initialization objects into .cpuinit.rodata

2009-03-12T12:13:07+00:00

Impact: debuggability and micro-optimization

Putting whatever is possible into the (final) .rodata section increases
the likelihood of catching memory corruption bugs early, and reduces
false cache line sharing.

x86: remove cpu_vendor_dev

2008-09-04T19:09:45+00:00

1. add c_x86_vendor into cpu_dev
2. change cpu_devs to static
3. check c_x86_vendor before put that cpu_dev into array
4. remove alignment for 64bit
5. order the sequence in cpu_devs according to link sequence...
   so could put intel at first, then amd...

x86: use ELF section to list CPU vendor specific code

2008-04-17T15:40:47+00:00

Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU
vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF
section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and
contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a
vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure.

This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu()
functions.

This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and
early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the
cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU
initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is
not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly.

This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for
further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU
support code.

x86: do not promote TM3x00/TM5x00 to i686-class

2008-02-26T11:55:50+00:00

We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class
based on the notion that they contain all the user-space visible
features of an i686-class chip.  However, this is not actually true:
they lack the EA-taking long NOPs (0F 1F /0).  Since this is a
userspace-visible incompatibility, downgrade these CPUs to the
manufacturer-defined i586 level.
