[PATCH] Handle per-subsystem mutexes for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU not set

2006-12-07T16:39:41+00:00

Provide a common interface for all the subsystems to lock and unlock their
per-subsystem hotcpu mutexes.

When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, these operations would be no-ops.

[PATCH] hotplug CPU: clean up hotcpu_notifier() use

2006-12-07T16:39:39+00:00

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add
#ifdefs.

the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

[PATCH] i386: change the 'no_control' field to 'hotpluggable' in the struct cpu

2006-12-07T01:14:10+00:00

Change the 'no_control' field in the cpu struct to a more positive
and better term 'hotpluggable'. And change(/cleanup) the logic accordingly.

[POWERPC] sysfs: add support for adding/removing spu sysfs attributes

2006-10-25T04:20:22+00:00

This patch adds two functions to create and remove sysfs attributes and
attribute_group to all cpus.  That allows to register sysfs attributes in
a subdirectory like: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/group_name/what_ever
This will be used by cbe_thermal to group all attributes dealing with
thermal support in one directory.

[PATCH] Disable CPU hotplug during suspend

2006-09-26T15:48:59+00:00

The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU
hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines.  However, we
should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else
after we have disabled them.

The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to
kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should
better be static.  Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an
error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and
enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have
been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

cpu hotplug: simplify and hopefully fix locking

2006-07-23T19:12:16+00:00

The CPU hotplug locking was quite messy, with a recursive lock to
handle the fact that both the actual up/down sequence wanted to
protect itself from being re-entered, but the callbacks that it
called also tended to want to protect themselves from CPU events.

This splits the lock into two (one to serialize the whole hotplug
sequence, the other to protect against the CPU present bitmaps
changing). The latter still allows recursive usage because some
subsystems (ondemand policy for cpufreq at least) had already gotten
too used to the lax locking, but the locking mistakes are hopefully
now less fundamental, and we now warn about recursive lock usage
when we see it, in the hope that it can be fixed.

[PATCH] hotcpu_notifier-fixes

Always use do {} while (0).  Failing to do so can cause subtle compile
failures or bugs.

only when HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

[PATCH] cpu hotplug: make [un]register_cpu_notifier init time only

2006-06-28T00:32:41+00:00

CPUs come online only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
So, cpu_notifier functionality need to be available only at init time.

This patch makes register_cpu_notifier() available only at init time, unless
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.

This patch exports register_cpu_notifier() and unregister_cpu_notifier() only
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined.
