asm-generic: architecture independent readq/writeq for 32bit environment

2012-02-22T00:47:28Z

This provides unified readq()/writeq() helper functions for 32-bit drivers. For some cases, readq/writeq without atomicity is harmful, and order of io access has to be specified explicitly. So in this patch, new two header files which contain non-atomic readq/writeq are added. - provides non-atomic readq/ writeq with the order of lower address -> higher address - provides non-atomic readq/ writeq with reversed order This allows us to remove some readq()s that were added drivers when the default non-atomic ones were removed in commit dbee8a0affd5 ("x86: remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()") The drivers which need readq/writeq but can do with the non-atomic ones must add the line: #include /* or hi-lo.h */ But this will be nop in 64-bit environments, and no other #ifdefs are required. So I believe that this patch can solve the problem of 1. driver-specific readq/writeq 2. atomicity and order of io access This patch is tested with building allyesconfig and allmodconfig as ARCH=x86 and ARCH=i386 on top of tip/master.

module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)

2012-01-12T23:02:20Z

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Merge branch 'driver-core-next' into Linux 3.2

2012-01-06T19:42:52Z

This resolves the conflict in the arch/arm/mach-s3c64xx/s3c6400.c file, and it fixes the build error in the arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c file, that the merge did not catch. The microcode_core.c patch was provided by Stephen Rothwell who was invaluable in the merge issues involved with the large sysdev removal process in the driver-core tree.

x86: Simplify code by removing a !SMP #ifdefs from 'struct cpuinfo_x86'

2011-12-21T08:25:09Z

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the !SMP case, likely to save space. However, those fields still have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef removal from other files. The additional size of the UP kernel from this change is not significant enough to worry about keeping up the distinction: text data bss dec hex filename 4737168 506459 972040 6215667 5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before 4737444 506459 972040 6215943 5ed907 vmlinux.o.after for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config. If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should be implemented in a cleaner way.
