[S390] percpu: implement arch specific irqsafe_cpu_ops

2011-05-23T08:24:29Z

Implement arch specific irqsafe_cpu ops. The arch specific ops do not disable/enable interrupts since that is an expensive operation. Instead we disable preemption and perform a compare and swap loop. Since on server distros (the ones we care about) preemption is disabled the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair is a nop. In the end this code should be faster than the generic one. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: switch to dynamic percpu allocator

2009-06-24T06:13:53Z

64bit s390 shares the same problem with alpha regarding percpu symbol addressing from modules. It needs assembly magic to force GOTENT reference when building module as the percpu address will be outside the usual 4G range from the module text. This can be solved by using weak percpu variable definitions. This patch makes s390 use weak definitions and switch to dynamic percpu allocator. Please note that weak attribute is not added if !SMP as percpu variables behave exactly the same as normal variables on UP. Compile tested. Generation of GOTENT reference verified. This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch. [ Impact: use dynamic percpu allocator ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Heiko Carstens
