2009-06-24alpha: switch to dynamic percpu allocatorTejun Heo
Alpha implements custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR for modules because percpu area can be located far away from the 4G area where the module text is located. The custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR forces GOT usage using ldq instruction with literal relocation; however, the relocation can't be used with dynamically allocated percpu variables. Fortunately, similar result can be achieved by using weak percpu variable definitions. This patch makes alpha use weak definitions and switch to dynamic percpu allocator. asm/tlbflush.h was getting linux/sched.h via asm/percpu.h which no longer needs it. Include linux/sched.h directly in asm/tlbflush.h. Compile tested. Generation of litereal relocation verified. This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

2009-06-24alpha: kill unnecessary __used attribute in PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTESTejun Heo
With the previous percpu variable definition change, all percpu variables are global and there's no need to specify __used, which only triggers on recent compilers anyway. Kill it.

2009-05-12alpha: unbreak percpu againTejun Heo
Commit 9b8de7479d0dbab1ed98b5b015d44232c9d3d08e ("FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()") cleaned up DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU() macros and in the process made alpha percpu.h include include/asm-generic/percpu.h which breaks compilation due to duplicate definitions. Remove inclusion of generic asm helper file and define whatever necessary in alpha header proper. In the longer term, percpu definitions will be unified and all these little subtlties will be removed.

2009-04-21FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

2008-08-15alpha: move include/asm-alpha to arch/alpha/include/asmLinus Torvalds
Sam Ravnborg did the build-test that the direct header file move works, I'm just committing it. This is a pure move: mkdir arch/alpha/include git mv include/asm-alpha arch/alpha/include/asm with no other changes.
