      gpiolib: allow user-selection · 7444a72e
      Michael Buesch authored
      
      This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it
      possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't
      request to get it built in.
      
      The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor
      functions in its asm/gpio.h file.  This patch adds the implementations for
      x86 and PPC.
      
      With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on
      every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions.  Support
      for more architectures can easily be added.

      mips: convert to generic helpers for IPI function calls · 2f304c0a
      Jens Axboe authored
      
      This converts mips to use the new helpers for smp_call_function() and
      friends, and adds support for smp_call_function_single(). Not tested,
      but it compiles.
      
      mips shares the same IPI for smp_call_function() and
      smp_call_function_single(), since not all mips platforms have enough
      available IPIs to support seperate setups.

      remove Documentation/smp.txt · 03502faa
      Adrian Bunk authored
      
      After seeing the filename I'd have expected something about the
      implementation of SMP in the Linux kernel - not some notes on kernel
      configuration and building trivialities noone would search at this
      place.

      Move Kconfig.instrumentation to arch/Kconfig and init/Kconfig · 125e5645
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      
      Move the instrumentation Kconfig to
      
      arch/Kconfig for architecture dependent options
        - oprofile
        - kprobes
      
      and
      
      init/Kconfig for architecture independent options
        - profiling
        - markers
      
      Remove the "Instrumentation Support" menu. Everything moves to "General setup".
      Delete the kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation file.

      Add HAVE_OPROFILE · 42d4b839
      Mathieu Desnoyers authored
      
      Linus:
      On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have
      internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
      
              depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
      
      really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
      
      It would be much better to do
      
              depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
      
      in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just
      have a
      
              bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                      default y
      
      in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical,
      and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no
      clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support
      which interface...
      
      Changelog:
      
      Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see
      it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
      
              config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
                      def_bool y
      
      instead, which is a bit denser.
      
      We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really
      what "def_bool" is there for...
      
      Changelog :
      
      - Moving to HAVE_*.
      - Add AVR32 oprofile.

      spinlock: lockbreak cleanup · 95c354fe
      Nick Piggin authored
      
      The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
      Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
      a potentially less optimal trylock.
      
      Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
      __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
      there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
      not set.
      
      Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
      decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
      do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
      with that break_lock then?).
