| |
This patchset simplifies the code that arches need to maintain to support per cpu functionality. Most of the code is moved into arch independent code. Only a minimal set of definitions is kept for each arch.
The patch also unifies the x86 arch so that there is only a single asm-x86/percpu.h
V1->V2: - Add support for specifying attributes for per cpu declarations (preserves IA64 model(small) attribute). - Drop first patch that removes the model(small) attribute for IA64 - Missing #endif in powerpc generic config / Wrong Kconfig - Follow Randy's suggestions on how to do the Kconfig settings
V2->V3: - fix x86_64 non-SMP case - change SHIFT_PTR to SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR - fix various percpu_modcopy()'s to reference correct per_cpu_offset() - s390 has a special way to determine the pointer to a per cpu area
