2006-09-26[PATCH] Fix zeroing on exception in copy_*_userAndi Kleen
- Don't zero for __copy_from_user_inatomic following i386. This will prevent spurious zeros for parallel file system writers when one does a exception - The string instruction version didn't zero the output on exception. Oops. Also I cleaned up the code a bit while I was at it and added a minor optimization to the string instruction path. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-09-26[PATCH] annotate arch/x86_64/lib/*.SJan Beulich
Add unwind annotations to arch/x86_64/lib/*.S, and also use the macros provided by linux/linkage.h where-ever possible. Some of the alternative instructions handling needed to be adjusted so that the replacement code would also have valid unwind information.

2006-02-04[PATCH] x86_64: Undo the earlier changes to remove unrolled copy/memset ↵Andi Kleen
functions They cause quite bad performance regressions on Netburst This is temporary until we can get new optimized functions for these CPUs. This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1, essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.

2006-01-11[PATCH] x86_64: Clean up copy_*_userAndi Kleen
- Remove optimization for old B stepping Opteron - Make the fast path for copies with a multiple of eight length faster. - Minor instruction rearrangement to hopefully avoid a pipeline stall or two. - Add comment about errata to consider.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
