[PATCH] x86_64: x86_64 version of the smp alternative patch.

2006-06-26T17:48:14Z

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.

[PATCH] uml: kludgy compilation fixes for x86-64 subarch modules support

2005-05-05T23:36:33Z

These are some trivial fixes for the x86-64 subarch module support. The only potential problem is that I have to modify arch/x86_64/kernel/module.c, to avoid copying the whole of it. I can't use it verbatim because it depends on a special vmalloc-like area for modules, which for now (maybe that's to fix, I guess not) UML/x86-64 has not. I went the easy way and reused the i386 vmalloc()-based allocator. Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Acked-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
