2009-03-19PCI/alpha: pci sysfs resourcesIvan Kokshaysky
This closes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10893 which is a showstopper for X development on alpha. The generic HAVE_PCI_MMAP code (drivers/pci-sysfs.c) is not very useful since we have to deal with three different types of MMIO address spaces: sparse and dense mappings for old ev4/ev5 machines and "normal" 1:1 MMIO space (bwx) for ev56 and later. Also "write combine" mappings are meaningless on alpha - roughly speaking, alpha does write combining, IO reordering and other optimizations by default, unless user splits IO accesses with memory barriers. I think the cleanest way to deal with resource files on alpha is to convert the default no-op pci_create_resource_files() and pci_remove_resource_files() for !HAVE_PCI_MMAP case into __weak functions and override them with alpha specific ones. Another alpha hook is needed for "legacy_" resource files to handle sparse addressing (pci_adjust_legacy_attr). With the "standard" resourceN files on ev56/ev6 libpciaccess works "out of the box". Handling of resourceN_sparse/resourceN_dense files on older machines obviously requires some userland work. Sparse/dense stuff has been tested on sx164 (pca56/pyxis, normally uses bwx IO) with the kernel hacked into "cia compatible" mode.

2008-04-17Generic semaphore implementationMatthew Wilcox
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and extensibility. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep warning. Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the unlikely() was unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-14kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add additional options to CCSam Ravnborg
The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour. On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to pass in additional flags to gcc. This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the tree and enabling one to use: make CFLAGS=... to specify additional gcc commandline options. One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other use cases has been requested too. Patch was tested on following architectures: alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check that nothing got rebuild.

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!
