kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier

2008-09-08T17:25:24Z

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs. Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map. The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers. Tested on x86-64. All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got it right.

sh: generic clockevent broadcast support.

2008-09-08T01:35:03Z

This hooks up GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST and a dummy local timer, which we call in to from the timer IPI when no other local timer is provided. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

sh: smp: Provide a generic IPI handler.

2008-09-08T01:35:02Z

This provides a generic smp_message_recv() routine (based on the PPC one), that IPI IRQs can wrap in to. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

on_each_cpu(): kill unused 'retry' parameter

2008-06-26T09:24:38Z

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that was removed. So kill it. Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Reviewed-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

smp_call_function: get rid of the unused nonatomic/retry argument

2008-06-26T09:24:35Z

It's never used and the comments refer to nonatomic and retry interchangably. So get rid of it. Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

sh: convert to generic helpers for IPI function calls

2008-06-26T09:22:58Z

This converts sh to use the new helpers for smp_call_function() and friends, and adds support for smp_call_function_single(). Not tested, but it compiles. Acked-by: Paul Mundt Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

SH: Use newer, non-deprecated __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED macro.
