<content type='text'>
Based on patch from David Rientjes &lt;rientjes@google.com&gt;, but
changed by AK.

Optimizes the 64-bit hamming weight for x86_64 processors assuming they
have fast multiplication.  Uses five fewer bitops than the generic
hweight64.  Benchmark on one EMT64 showed ~25% speedup with 2^24
consecutive calls.

Define a new ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER that can be set by other
architectures that can also multiply fast.

<title>[PATCH] x86_64: x86_64 version of the smp alternative patch.</title>

Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:

 * alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
 * one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
   nop'ed out for non-smp.
 * two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
   replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
 * fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
   LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.

The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication.  The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed.  It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now).  Debug printk's are changed from
compile-time to runtime.

Loosely based on a early version from Bastian Blank &lt;waldi@debian.org&gt;

<title>[PATCH] x86_64: Fix gcc 4 warning in sched_find_first_bit</title>

<id>8d224d32c28c165f7100a670d61d64dd15d49a1e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch eliminates the GCC4 warning on the x86_64 platform:

kernel/sched.c:1824: warning: control may reach end of non-void function
'sched_find_first_bit' being inlined.

The change follows the lead of others, i.e.  it is guaranteed that at least
one of b[0], b[1], or b[2] will have a bit set and evaluate to true.  That
being said, GCC4.0.0 notices that the code flow does not return anything if
b[0], b[1] and b[2] are not true.  Since we know better, if it's not b[0] or
b[1], it has to be b[2].

<title>[PATCH] add x86-64 specific support for sparsemem</title>

<id>bbfceef47fb9467424113a004070bf37a806a97c</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds in the necessary support for sparsemem such that x86-64
kernels may use sparsemem as an alternative to discontigmem for NUMA
kernels.  Note that this does no preclude one from continuing to build NUMA
kernels using discontigmem, but merely allows the option to build NUMA
kernels with sparsemem.

Interestingly, the use of sparsemem in lieu of discontigmem in NUMA kernels
results in reduced text size for otherwise equivalent kernels as shown in
the example builds below:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
2371036	 765884	1237108	4374028	 42be0c	vmlinux.discontig
