Peter Anvin" , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/4] x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v3-folded Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org * Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed before there are per_cpu areas allocated. * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack. * Consolidate node_to_cpumask operations and remove the 256k byte node_to_cpumask_map. This is done by allocating the node_to_cpumask_map array after the number of possible nodes (nr_node_ids) is known. * Restore the nodenumber field in the x86_64 pda. This field is slightly different than the x86_cpu_to_node_map mainly because it's a static indication of which node the cpu is on while the cpu to node map is a dyanamic mapping that may get reset if the cpu goes offline. This also simplifies the numa_node_id() macro. * Replace usages of MAX_NUMNODES with nr_node_ids in kernel/sched.c, where appropriate. This saves some allocated space as well as many wasted cycles going through node entries that are non-existent. For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree. Based on: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git + sched-devel/latest .../mingo/linux-2.6-sched-devel.git Signed-off-by: Mike Travis --- v3-folded: Folded in follow on "fix" patches to consolidate changes into one place. Includes change to drivers/base/topology.c to fix s390 build error. Includes change to fix preemption warning when numa_node_id is used. checkpatch.pl errors/warnings checked and fixed where possible. v2: remerged PATCH 2/2 with latest x86.git/latest and sched-devel/latest, rebuilt and retested 4k-akpm2, 4k-defconfig, nonuma, & nosmp configs. --
