2008-07-17sparc: copy sparc64 specific files to asm-sparcSam Ravnborg
Used the following script to copy the files: cd include set -e SPARC64=`ls asm-sparc64` for FILE in ${SPARC64}; do if [ -f asm-sparc/$FILE ]; then echo $FILE exist in asm-sparc else git mv asm-sparc64/$FILE asm-sparc/$FILE printf "#include <asm-sparc/$FILE>\n" > asm-sparc64/$FILE git add asm-sparc64/$FILE fi done Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-03-19[SPARC64]: Fix atomic backoff limit.David S. Miller
4096 will not fit into the immediate field of a compare instruction, in fact it will end up being -4096 causing the check to fail every time and thus disabling backoff. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-27[SPARC64]: Fix BACKOFF_SPIN on non-SMP.David S. Miller
It can't be just empty, it has to at least branch back to 'label'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-10-17[SPARC64]: Implement atomic backoff.David S. Miller
When the cpu count is high and contention hits an atomic object, the processors can synchronize such that some cpus continually get knocked out and cannot complete the atomic update. So implement an exponential backoff when SMP. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
