2006-02-24[PATCH] powerpc: newline for ISYNC_ON_SMPNick Piggin
Add a newline at the end of the ISYNC_ON_SMP string. Needed for a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-01-13[PATCH] powerpc: use lwsync in atomics, bitops, lock functionsAnton Blanchard
eieio is only a store - store ordering. When used to order an unlock operation loads may leak out of the critical region. This is potentially buggy, one example is if a user wants to atomically read a couple of values. We can solve this with an lwsync which orders everything except store - load. I removed the (now unused) EIEIO_ON_SMP macros and the c versions isync_on_smp and eieio_on_smp now we dont use them. I also removed some old comments that were used to identify inline spinlocks in assembly, they dont make sense now our locks are out of line. Another interesting thing was that read_unlock was using an eieio even though the rest of the spinlock code had already been converted to use lwsync.

2006-01-09[PATCH] powerpc: sanitize header files for user space includesArnd Bergmann
include/asm-ppc/ had #ifdef __KERNEL__ in all header files that are not meant for use by user space, include/asm-powerpc does not have this yet. This patch gets us a lot closer there. There are a few cases where I was not sure, so I left them out. I have verified that no CONFIG_* symbols are used outside of __KERNEL__ any more and that there are no obvious compile errors when including any of the headers in user space libraries.

2005-09-25[PATCH] powerpc: merge atomic.h, memory.hBecky Bruce
powerpc: Merge atomic.h and memory.h into powerpc Merged atomic.h into include/powerpc. Moved asm-style HMT_ defines from memory.h into ppc_asm.h, where there were already HMT_defines; moved c-style HMT_ defines to processor.h. Renamed memory.h to synch.h to better reflect its contents.
